Whoops. I got a bit carried away. See, I managed to get both windows phone 7 and Android running on my phone... It took quite a bit of time though. Now that I'm back...

Roll 26

Spoiler: Encountered Enemies (click to show/hide)

Crawler: Crawlers are the most common Xer'Gi, literally mass produced from the Xer'gi lairs. To speed up their growth, their claws and limbs are grown independently then attached to larvae to complete growth.
They are lightning-fast yet expendable, making them perfect for wasting enemy ammunition or ambushing unsuspecting targets expecting larger foes.

Biped: The bipeds are among the smartest of the generic strains of Xer'gi, with a visible brain that emits light through their translucent head. They have impeccable aim, quickly regenerating arm spikes, as well as blood vessels reinforced with a strange purple material that contrasts their green exterior. They wear armor over their chest and legs, leaving their arms free to operate weaponry and machinery.
Despite having a pair of sharp mandibles for a jaw, they can speak quite articulately but lack strong biting abilities. They are normally herbivores.

BehemotH: Behemoths are massive, lumbering, and extremely stupid beasts capable of leveling buildings in a fit of rage. They have four legs each reinforced with ribs of green crystal and are tipped with red crystal claws. The head has massive green crystal plates as armor concealing a huge maw straight from the mind of Lovecraft. Two massive tentacles breach through the armor at the base of its neck and bear razor-sharp blades as well as menacing tusks on each end to draw in their helpless prey.
Its back is riddled with jagged spikes and thick green armor plates.
Behemoths have the unique ability to adapt following life-threatening circumstances. For example, if one survives an explosion, it will almost certainly have thicker armor plates next time it fights.
BrUte: The brutes are a unique strain of Xer'gi, known not only for their strength and size, but their complete inability to process morality codes.
They have blueish plates over their crystalline skin, as well as large blades on their arms. Other than that and a difference in proportion, they look very much like a large biped with more armor.

Spoiler: Encountered Vehicles (click to show/hide)

Hawk: The Hawk is the standard alien air-control fighter. It does not excel at air-superiority, but in large numbers they make good cannon fodder.
Falcon: The Falcon has heavy forward shielding, slowing it down due to the drag but also increasing its maneuverability. They are very difficult to take on alone as they can out-turn most vehicles.

---Players---

Bad rolls this turn...

Sareesa-6-Waiting for the blindness to wear off, Sareesa formulates a brilliant plan in her mind. After observing the aliens for a while and scanning the area, she puts her helmet on backwards and rushes in, blade drawn and slices both aliens in half. Her momentum also causes her to hit the sphere, causing it to shatter and plunging the room into darkness.

Success! Kind of...

Gordon-1-Gordon slows down to get a good aim on the enemy. The enemy fire bounces off his hull once more, but the constant spray of broken shards keeps blocking out his vision and keeps him from locking on.

Oh, and he only has two missiles left, not three.

Rayn-2-Rayn decides to explore. He opens the door and walks out. The next thing he perceives is that there is a knife at his neck and there  are five very angry looking aliens standing over him.

"Human! Prepare to die!"

Taric-3-Hearing the commotion, Taric rushes out the door, weapon drawn, to see Rayn at the mercy of five armed aliens equipped with rifles.

Tarran-3-Tarran enters and immediately a huge grin appears on his face.
The walls are lined with crossbows and grenades, but in the distance hangs a big, shiny plasma rifle on the wall, complete with bayonet.
Beside it are four large RPGs.
This is too good to be true.

Zrk-2-Zrk sticks the two biped's weapons into hammerspace and walks out standing next to Taric.

Kir'Zhan-3-Kir'Zhan takes out some combat dressing and wraps his arm with it. A little stiff, but it'll have to do.

Spoiler: Character Sheets (click to show/hide)

For Damage and Armor:
Penetration consists of bonuses to penetrating armor. If a shot is landed (Depending on a normal roll with negatives based on speed) then penetration is the first roll calculated. Basically:
Penetrate if: d10 + [Penetration Bonus] > [Armor]

Penetration Depth increases the chance of internal damage. This uses a d6, so a +5 penetration depth will guarantee severe internal damage if the armor is breached.
Impact is used afterwards, especially if the attack fails to penetrate. Structural damage is calculated by:
Damage: d4*[Velocity] + [Impact] - [Structure]

The higher the number, the more successful it is. 10 is considered fatal to most beings.

For Wounds:
Brown = Bruised
Orange = Flesh wound
Green = Poisoned/infected
Red = Loss of function, non-permanent
Teal = Permanent loss of function
Crimson = Artery damage
Black = Permanently disabled
White = Missing

Replace helmet on the right way, continue onwards stealthily.

[Tarran]

"Oh HELL YES, PLASMAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

Run and grab two RPGs, then grab the plasma rifle.

Sareesa is going to absolutely hate me by the time I'm done with this RTD.

[V-Norrec]

It's OK.  She already does.

[Taricus]

Help Rayn

[KaguroDraven]

Follow the others

[HighEndNoob]

Try to fire one missile at one, than wait for 2 falcon's to line up, and fire another missile at the front falcon, hopefully causing a collateral.

[Zrk2]

Find the battle! The shoot stuff!

---Players---

Sareesa-3-Sareesa takes off her helmet and--seeing that she cannot see--decides to creep along the wall until she finds another doorway. She does not find another doorway.

Gordon-5-Firing a missile at the next one and hitting perfectly, Gordon focuses on the last pair of fighters. Waiting for just the right moment, he presses the button and fires.
The missile tears through the first ship's shield, and continues on through the one behind it, sending the innards of both ships falling charred to the ground.

Gordon shouts "Can you say collateral!?" and turns his attention to the fray below, watching one chunk of the enemy fighter land on an elite.

Rayn-4-Rayn panics under the stress of the situation, but is relieved to see the falling debris land on top of the elite holding him, knocking it out and releasing him. He jumps up and draws his bow.

Taric-1-Taric jumps forward to wrestle down the alien holding Rayn. However, he doesn't notice the debris and gets hit too.

Tarran-5-"Oh HECK YES, PLASMAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
Delighted at the new variation in weaponry, Tarran rushes forward and grabs a pair of RPGs fully loaded with rockets as well as the rifle on the wall. Now covered in guns, he wonders where the others are and how the interrogation went.

Zrk-3-Zrk opens up with a volley of fire from his MAC, forcing the elites to the ground in an attempt to escape. The one on the ground is quickly perforated and killed, while the others dodge out of the way.

Kir'Zhan-3-Kir'Zhan follows the others and confronts the enemies. However, any intimidation that could have resulted from his height advantage is quickly negated by his wounded state.

So much firepower... goddammit, someone needs to aggro another boss so I can use these weapons before I find more... and promptly overburden myself. Anyway, you guys can loot the rest of the room if you want.

With a gleeful smile on my face, return to the group.
