head up top, Arm the bomb, then use my PRB to launch the bomb at the larger battleship...
AT 15% the speed of light.
[1-1=1] You head back up and charge up the PRB again, preparing to fire the grenade at the battlecruisers above. Wait, is it pointed in the right way or not? [4] Definitely not. You stop yourself from wrecking the transport just in time.
Climb onto spider bot, and work together to throw things at the cars chasing us.
[6] Yes! What an amazing plan! You two begin climbing up the vulnerable envelope, [3] reaching the top without incident. The Watch cars come into view just as you get up there. [1] Unfortunately, you pick up a piece of scrap a little too big and heavy. [Dodge:4] You manage to throw it away and avoid getting squashed.
Set my nanite factory to wall the area off with some scrap and continue taking things apart.
[1] You give the nanite factory a few good kicks in hope it will wall off the area with scrap. It doesn't, strangely, [3] but your kicks don't damage it too much. [4] You attack the few still undamaged machines in the room and gather the wreckage. Wait, why did the lights go out?
[3] The two crew members return with a single soldier. [3] ' Right. Come out with your hands up and you won't be harmed. Understand?' he says, pointing his rifle at you.
Nanite Factory: Slightly DamagedSome Computer Parts increased to Computer Parts in Inventory!Mechanical Parts increased to A Lot of Mechanical Parts in Inventory! I shall think very hard, and try to come up with likely formulas for regenerative drugs. I shall then write them down on this paper I've secretly been keeping in my pocket.
[2] You sit down to think. Even with your knowledge of medicine, though, you fail to come up with any ideas.
Hide for a moment. 
[2] You attempt to hide, but can't seem to locate any hiding places, even though almost every single source of light on the ship just shut off, for some reason. It's good nobody's actively looking for you.
Holobot attempts to find a way out into the hallway.
Meanwhile I use the amazing amount of scraps in my local vicinity to create a totally radical piledriver, aimed right at the door. Flame paint job on the piston mandatory.
[3] You tell the holobot to make it's way into the hallway behind the door of your room, and it whirrs off into the vent. [3] You in turn attempt to create a piledriver, but only come up with some plans for it. [+1 to future rolls with inventing this, as usual]. You now have so much parts and metal, you can only barely carry it all.
The holobot appears outside your door, buzzing happily.

NPC'sLose them in the Descent!
[4] The transport turns right as sharply as it can, descending to the inner yard of the skyscraper complex, a net of bridges and hovering private apartments and high-class restaurants overlooking the sea of green and white of the gardens below. You determine it will go straight through and enter the vast industrial zone of the West Descent.
[5] The multilaser gunners prepare to fire if anything comes into range.
Bring them down!
[3] Displaying their usual skill, the hovercar drivers only narrowly avoid crashing into their surroundings and eachother. Only one of them gets in range [4] and fires. [Dodge:3] [BP:4][Damage:3] There is a shriek as the grenade is launched, and a sound like the snap of a whip as it hits the wall of the lower floor.
[Dodge:6][Dodge:5] Both Nirur and Dragnar recognize the danger in time and throw themselves flat just as what used to be the wall explodes inwards. [Dodge:3][Dodge:3][Dodge:1] The lone soldier and the two crewmen are not so lucky, however. [BP:3][BP:6][BP:2][Damage:4-1=3][Damage:2-1=1][Damage:6+1=6] The soldier gets a shard of wood embedded in his right arm, but the first of the two crewmen survives completely unharmed. Unfortunately, the third gets to witness as a huge chunk of metal spins lazily towards his heart and continues straight through like he didn't even exist. He dies instantly.
You doubt anyone else was hurt, as the explosion was limited to a single portion of the wall. Atleast the engine is still running.
[3] The hovercar is out of range for most of the multilasers, but one can get a clear shot, [6] and fires. [Dodge:6] Surprisingly, the hovercar driver sees the danger and pulls the car up violently. It disappears out of view again.
Transport 1: Second Floor: Slightly Damaged ---
Interesting fact, Nirur. That transparent liquid nuker threw away? Regenerative drink.
Also, even though Nirur was in the hallway outside the room where Dragnar is, he still gets affected by the explosion. This transport sure is strangely constructed.
