Vigil dashed forward and managed to get to the plant before the bug could pull it underground, with a firm grip on it and a mighty punt, he kicks the creature with power-assisted boot, sending it flying clear across the cavern and splatting it against the wall on the far side. The sapling now safe and sound in his arms again as he also dodge out of the way for Ricardo who opened up with his antique 3D printed Glock on fully automatic.
As it turns out, even neolithic 9MM chemical-based copper-coated projectiles were still able to pierce the bugs and do great damage to them, Ricardo went ahead and emptied his 30 rounds magazine into the general direction of Vigil, clearing the area around him as well as reloading a fresh mag all with just one hand to lay clearing fire towards the Gate room. Hot bullet casing going all over the damn place.
Meanwhile, Christian scored a good deal of the bugs following the plans, careful tap tap tap tap clearing a straight path in the swarm to the entrance. Kaito helped too, though it seemed like the bugs kept running into his gunfire rather than he actually needing to aim. Oh well!
Once the party round the L-corner, everyone presumably either duck or jump the hell away from the center where Danh flips the safety switch off and flip aside the plastic cover on his red button surrounded by the yellow and black danger pattern.
With a press of the button, the turret hums for but a second before it unleash pure !!SCIENCE!! at the chasing swarm, superheated laser microwaving bugs from inside out, making disgusting explosions and nasty burns that makes you really, really glad that you couldn't smell any of that.
The path is clear, and Danh will be able to hold the bugs back for up to a week of continuous suppressive fire.
Perhaps it's time to get out of here.
