With the other turret down, Mira begins to rendezvous with the rest of the group, moving to Area 3.

[Chevaleresse]

Tsubasa moves to Zone 1, Concentrates to reach 3 Concentration, then uses First Form on Close Combat Specialist B, dealing 5d4+DEX (10)+CON (10) damage, then follows up with Fourth Form for an additional 2d4+DEX damage. She also gains another Concentration from Meikyo Shisui.

[Sora]

Ea will use Overflow Breath on Close Combat Specialist A, dealing [4d8] + Mana*3 [12] Pen Damage. If that doesn't kill him, she will also attack with Askalon, dealing another [1d6 + 11] damage.

[DragonRage]

Joan will use her Basic Heal on Ea, restoring 3d6+11 HP to Ea and giving herself Shield equal to half the amount healed.

Then she'll feed Ea 2 more mana with Fire Control Assistance.

[AzyWng]

Tsubasa Concentrates and gains 1 Concentration (now 3), then uses First Form on Close Combat Specialist B to deal 31, killing him!

Ea attacks the Close Combat Specialist A for 39 damage, killing him!

The last of the enemies falls to the ground almost noiselessly, with none of the reactions that could be expected from killing a person.

Now that the immediate danger is eliminated, it’s plain to see this station - or at least this part - has seen better days. There’s more than a few pieces of trash and debris lining the halls, and at least a few parts of the wall seem to be sealed off by some kind of energy field rather than actual solid metal.

The drone that the team brought with them hovers over to provide its stock of supplies.
All team members restored to max HP. Buffs and meters will carry over from this fight to the next.

Inside is a radio that crackles to life. “Have things been taken care of on your end? If so, follow my instructions and use the explosives. We’ll take care of that combat robot and anyone else who tries to rush in and interrupt you - just focus on destroying whatever’s in the heart of the station.”

The directions Lyra gives mean the explosives should be placed on a certain passageway deeper inside the base - and the route taken there means the sounds of gunfire only get further and further away. The detonation of the explosives will create a hole both in this wall and the one on the opposite end, and from there it’s a simple matter of jumping straight through. The protective equipment Lyra provided should be protect from the vacuum of space for more than long enough.

Of course, one could also deviate from the plan. It’s not exactly known what the team will be facing, and a more direct application could be valuable...

[] Use the explosives: Skip straight to the boss as planned.
[] Don’t use the explosives: Fight the second fight as normal, retaining the explosives for use during the boss.

[Chevaleresse]

"The more time we waste, the more likely our prey escapes. Let's keep to the plan."

Tsubasa votes to use the explosives.

[Sora]

"I agree with Tsubasa. Let us make haste and finish this thing for good."

Ea also votes to use the explosives now

[AzyWng]

“All right. We’ll do our best to take down that Mongoose thing and whatever reinforcements will be coming. You just focus on whatever it is that’s in there. Good luck.”

Once set up and detonated, the explosives make everything rumble and shake for several seconds. There’s a roaring, or maybe just the sound of groaning metal. As the team leaps through to the other side, the roaring almost seems to grow louder, even as they pass through space. Then they follow the plan’s directions and reach the Central Testing Facility.
   It’s here that the sterile white halls give way to a mess of exposed wires, torn flooring, and glistening flesh everywhere.
The worst of it is in the furthest recesses of the room - whatever used to occupy is now covered in masses of some meat and bone. Pieces here and there appear to be holding - or fused to? - weapons and tools, from scalpels to blades to fully-automatic firearms. It’s a disgusting sight to behold, and it's staring everyone down with a mass of eyes. Other people’s eyes.

[Chevaleresse]

The horrific sight gave Tsubasa a moment of pause. She'd seen a few terrible things, but this was worse than anything she'd previously encountered. The moment passed, however, and her expression smoothed over once again. Regardless, her response had to be the same. Slay the evil, until her body would no longer allow her to do so.

Tsubasa Concentrates, gaining 1 Concentration and 10 SHD. She moves to Zone 2. She gains an additional point of Concentration from Meikyo Shisui.

[GodofGamingRWBY]

Mira

Mira hardly reacts to the mass of flesh and technology. It was certainly disgusting, but she was a sword. A weapon. Disgust wasn't a thing that would stop her from doing her duty. Instead, simply narrows her eyes, marching forward in her normal, unrelenting nature, the dark fog that always followed her flaring up as she did so. It was time to finish this waste of time.

Mira moves to Zone 2, then uses Sequence Start on the Cluster of Spines and Security, dealing 6d6+18 damage
