Since this probably isn't something I should just drop on you, if there's no APC driver then Starhammer will not have an APC.

Could you describe what you think the average human male looks like?

[Egan_BW]

Starhammer and the Haemic Core have decided to crib Lenglon's notes. Combat Engineer and Demoman added.

[syvarris]

* syvarris looks back at his DM asking to play a Haemic Corp demoman, remembering why he switched to Starhammer
* syvarris begins to sweat

New classes are very good though

[Lenglon]

If Starhammer doesn't find anyone for APC driver, then Erin will do it. Only changes from her current sheet should be class, equipment, and AP cost  of the class. She's still Erin.
EDIT: Class has been changed to APC driver for the mission.

Name: Erin
Physical Description: A small-ish woman with long-ish dark hair in a ponytail and purple eyes, she is very direct in conversation, going from objective to objective with very little smalltalk. She has some old scars on her left arm that seem indicative of regular injections in that area, but they've mostly faded, with no recent exposure. She wears gloves the vast majority of the time, and walks slightly hunched over anytime she isn't paying attention to her posture. She actually enjoys the feel of wind, goes running for fun routinely, and would go skydiving if she could afford to do so.

Although normally a gun warrior, she's currently been retasked to be an APC driver for this mission.

Spoiler: Starhammer turn (click to show/hide)

Noruk peers out the top hatch and watches the beast fall. Its bright and spindly legs slow it down just enough to crash gracefully. The mech hanging under isn't so lucky, the force of gravity and the rig on top of it combine to crush it, telescoping, into the ground.

This, ultimately, is what convinces you three that this isn't a recon mission. You might not be well equipped to take down a mech on your own, but the odd flying creature makes a tempting prize, and you can likely mop up whatever crew it has. A spirit of calm anticipation falls over you. Three Deadly souls, perhaps your aligning intents makes communication redundant.

Erin drives for the crashed shuttle at full speed, the APC's mainspring twanging oddly at its full output. Noruk spots a filthy-looking man with a shotgun near the crashed beast and precautionarily ducks his head down into the APC before someone shoots it off.

The terrain is open, leaving the APC will mean forgoing cover. The shuttle emits a slow animal groan, indicating that it... is a living thing?

A horrible screech of metal as you make landfall, not at the time or the place you intended. Zerek radios the Pilot but gets no response. He curses, and the Shuttle groans in pain, attempting to stand or hover, yet unable due to its broken limbs.

A loud crack breaks through the chamber as Mahsun pops a hatch, equalizing the pressure inside with the surface. This area needs to be secured; all territory on this planet is enemy territory.
Billy Bob picks up a strange sound, a metallic scraping and points out the vehicle approaching. Definitely enemy in nature, for the ugly thing has wheels. A man looks out over the top and then hides down below before anyone can shoot him.

The terrain is open: moving away from the Shuttle would mean not having any cover. The shuttle itself is still alive, though badly hurt and probably not able to move without repairs. The passenger compartment is caked with blood from dead comrades, killed in the impact... You could probably dig through and scavenge their equipment.

"Drop me off, girl!  I gotta set up this mortar before we get too close.  I'll hammer it a bit, make them get inside, then we can start clearing the thing.  Or d'ya think we should wait for them to try and run?"

Disembark from the APC as soon as it is safe to do so, and set up the mortar.  Ideally in a spot with some cover, be that the APC itself or just a dip in the ground, but if this really is a completely level plain then oh well.

"Zerek, can you get us out of here quick? If not just settle 'er down and see if you can get any of the weapons of the tech gear online. Or if this shuttle rig has anything, use that! We are gonna need some more firepower.

Billy, can you quickly see if there's any better gear laying around we can use?"

Since you said we could see the wheels devilcircles of the incoming APC, any chance I could shoot one out to hopefully crash the damn thing? If yes try it.
If there's no hope for this at all, just take some shots at the driver (presumably these primitives still use windshields or viewports).

Should Billy find a marksman rifle or like a bazooka, try using that (assuming that using non-class gear doesn't carry penalties, otherwise don't bother).

”I’ll see what I can do mahsun. If i can just fix it up enough to move again...”
Zerek immediately gets his repair kit out and starts working on the shuttle rig as fast as he could. He knew that a malfunction had brought them down, but if he could get the weapon systems online he might be able to turn them over to the other soldiers for operation and start fixing the mechanisms giving them mobility.

((Note to self: Fast Reflexes trait might add too much to think about? Bah, it's hard to be properly minimalist while having hidden actions. Is this still the sort of game I want to run? Secret keeping was certainly fun the first half of mission 2 last time, but the second half of mission 2 doesn't exist.
Bah. Refinement is needed.
Also I recently saw a random webcomic was called Starhammer, I couldn't believe my eyes for a second. I'm pretty sure that was convergent evolution rather than subconscious copying on my part, but IDK.))

Noruk
Erin
Vracks

Speeding towards the crashed shuttle, Erin notes the machinegun mounted on the outside of it. She can't tell if it's manned or functional, but it's there.
Well, it's not shooting at them presently, which is a good sign.
What does shoot at them is a rifleman in the helmet with a little black gun. He hides partially in a trench helpfully kicked up by the crash, exposing just his chest and head. The bullets can be heard clinking on the APC's hull, but no real damage is done.

Noruk sits quietly by himself, humming and listening to the odd impacts, lost in daydreaming perhaps.

Erin stops the APC for just a moment, back hatch facing away from the shuttle, waiting for Vracks to get his gear in order. He hops out the back, mortar under his arm.
He locates a rock. Well, not quite big enough to act as cover, but it's better than nothing. He crouches low as possible behind it and starts setting up.
It's set up and ready to fire! He takes a puff of valencine and ponders if he forgot a step.

Erin then drives some more forwards, but the bumpy terrain prevents most progress and 'might' have knocked the APC a bit off course, exposing Vracks.

Zerek
Mahsun Al-Adzan
Billy Bob

Zerek immediately sets about repairs using his kit. Noting that the Rig's Arcane Machinegun is cut off from its power supply, he uses a loop of tubing to connect it to the Shuttle's heart. The gun immediately powers on, ready to be manned from within the crew compartment.
[Add "Mounted Arcbolter" to equipment]
However, at the same time the Rig shudders. Zerek can tell that it's bleeding magical vitality, and using the gun might be enough to kill it for good...

Mashun spies the devilcircles on the enemy vehicle and tries to take them out with his rifle. Poking out of a scar in the earth torn by the landing for cover, he aims and shoots a few semi-auto shots. They hit only dust or ping off of armor, however.
He watches largely helplessly as the machine charges closer! Well, let them come!

Billy Bob gladly starts digging around in his comrades' (and captors') guts for 'anything of use'. He finds a remote shock collar remote! Score!

Okay, so my other passenger is asleep in his seat, and I might not even have the APC covering our mortar. Well then
IF the mortar is getting shot at, then attempt to run over any exposed haemic infantry
If the morter seems to be protected after all, then stay in position and keep it covered.
