"But can you see anything about the Andantesite? Say, if it were definitely inside the building, where is it most probable it would be? If it were under the docks, where would it probably be?
Actually, can anyone see how the curve of the water is? Maybe we can calculate the center of the distortion!"

"I'm tracking the rebels themselves, not the Andantesite. I'd infer they're carrying it?" answers David.

"The water seems to be curving under the dock," says one of the guards. He leans over the side. "I think if I could see below I could..."

He tilts his head under the dock's surface. "Hey! Hey-aargh!"

A surge of gravity throws everyone to their knees and he falls overboard into the water.

"Damn the Redshirts trope.
_Hmn...
Don't worry, Cameron! We'll get you!
Now, I want half of the people with the Masers firing toward the rebels, and half of them shooting into the center of the shop's remnants!"

"Hey, I'm Cameron!" shouts another guard. "Her name was-" There is another gravity shift and she falls off the side as well.

"Where are the rebels?" shouts another guard. "We can't shoot them if we don't know where they are!"

*facepalm*

"They're on the dock, near my position!
^{I can't see anything in all this damned smoke...}"

"On the dock?"

The soldiers point the masers at you.

"I don't see anyone on the dock."

[The facepalm was an action on the outside of the compute, not anything in-universe. The redshirts line, however, was in-universe.
The stuff inside these brackets are not in-universe, just so we're clear.]

"Try firing anyway! They've got a powerful psyker, we don't know if we know their full capabilities!"

[blueturtle1134]

Screw that, you said "their" sorry.

[Glass]

[I generally default to "they" if I'm not thinking about gender. I only just remembered now that you mentioned her personal details.]

"Try firing anyway! They've got a powerful psyker, we don't know if we know their full capabilities!"

"Uh, alright Celling," they say. Heat washes over Celling's skin as laser light streaks out around the dock - to no effect.

Fansworth: "Did I mention that they need thirty seconds on average to recharge after each half-second shot?"

Time elapsed: 1 minute 28 seconds

*cue some Angrish from Celling*

"Can anyone get down below the dock?"

*cue some Angrish from Celling*

"Can anyone get down below the dock?"

"Got it!" one of the guards shouts. He tries to pry up one of the floorboards. "Hey, there's people down-"

There is a shot.

Splinters of the board shoot up everywhere. The man stands up, shrieking, an inch-long piece of wood and splattered, bloody mess where his right eye was. "MY EYE!" he screeches.

[Whelp, we know where the rebels are, now.]

[...could someone else please give some suggestions?]

I really hate this being a one-player game.

I guess shooting down is hard, do we have any sort of backup?

We have the sentient dogs and child soldiers.
