James EvanJames wasn't worried about the troopers- it was all a dream. However, he did put his hands up in surrender- He didn't want to have to experience getting shot to dream-death again while he was trying to think this out. He thought that something must be wrong with his head if he could be manipulated to not be able to fully get out of his dream. He attempted to blank his mind so maybe he could figger out what's wrong.
You put your hands in the air and try to make your mind go blank, [Will 4+1] you are floating in an ocean of calm. A white sea of void...
"Trying to escape again eh? Well don't worry, I'm not going to beat you for it. I'm just going to kill you for it." The technocrat who shot Cal in the earlier dream levels the pistol at your and fires twice at your head. [Quickshot 3-3, 2-3] You ignore the bullets and continue on the whole zen kick, the metal slugs fly through your body and impact the wall behind you. The thugs freeze for a couple minutes like a stuck audio program before looping back.
"Trying to escape again eh? Well don't worry, I'm not going to beat you..." This is going to get old really fast.

Altris Shirenhmm, Dom is the first woman in, I order everyone to fire on her and see what happens.
"Shoot the Girl." You order with malevolent dispassion, giving example by shooting her yourself. [Quickshot 1] [Luck 1] [Dex 2] The pulse rifle whines as it prepares to fire, then nothing happens. The whine continues to build to a pitch that sets your teeth on edge, you barely manage to throw the rifle away before it explodes. (-12 Armor) This is an irritating start.
---
Trol Grane"CRABCAKES!!!!" Surge Acolyte, get him to slap Altris Shiren across the face. Equip Irin.
[Sanity 4] You scream a warcry and send a burst of energy into the Acolyte. [A.Empathetics 5+1-1 VS Mindbar] (Stamina -5, Acolyte Stamina -10) The attack is met by a mental wall, scattering your attack but giving a little itself in the process.
---
Ellen SaunSaun kneels and fires her SMG on the Acolyte, [Quickshot 3-1] the silent little weapon isn't meant for the distance and the spikes scatter harmlessly around the Technocrat.
---
Tarran Smith"LET'S DO THIS!" Nail the Acolyte with my Ichneumon.
You raise your trusty Ichneumon and shoot the Acolyte, the less of these in the world the better. [2+1] [Acolyte Armor roll 1-4] You clip the acolyte in the leg and blast a furrow through his armor. (-15 Armor Acolyte is hurt) You reload from the speedloader.
---
AcolyteGrimacing behind his helmet the Acolyte fires on Dom. [Quickshot 4+1-2 Maintain mindbar] Even while keeping up a psychic shield fro four people he manages to strike Dom with one of the Basilisks odd Paired pulses. [Dom Armor 2-2] Searing a hole in her damaged armor. (Armor -12 HP -14)
---
Taric SizierHead to cover. "You bastards are going to regret leaving that AI.
You move to take cover behind one of the terminals on the outside of the room near the door.
You are now under cover. (Shooting rolls against you at -1)
---
Dominique WakemanDom figured the best thing she could do was disrupt any plans the enemy had with a quick psionic blast. She took a quick shot at the guy in the environment suit, then followed it up with as powerful a Slam as she could muster.
To late to disrupt his orders but perhaps not too late to disrupt this bastards brains you try to slam Shiren and his buddy back into the Heatsink. [Slam 18kN 5', 3] (-18 Stamina) [Shiren dex 4+1] Your blast picks the Acolyte up and smashes him into the heatsinks plate with numbing force, [Acolyte Soak 1] he bounces off and hits the ground, out cold. Shiren on the other hand seems to know what you'll try from the moment your begin and dodges out of the way of your blast with alacrity.
(Acolyte Unconscious for 3 turns, mindbar will fade turn after next.)
---
Trooper LeftThe Trooper taking cover on the left side of the Heatsink follows Warpriest's orders and shoots the Psionic female. [Marksman 1] [Luck 4] His clip isn't in all the way and the rails can't pick up the slug, he spends a moment jiggling the rifle and swearing passionately.
---
Trooper Right The Trooper on the right is also plenty motivated to shoot the scary mindblasting girl. [Marksman 1] [luck 3] In a staggering bout of incredible incompetence the trooper had forgotten to disengage the the safety on his weapon. He joins his friend in frantically scrabbling with his weapon and swearing.
---
Jamie TeagueTeague steps to the front of the party, taking a place in front of Dominique and focusing. [Shield 1', 4+1-1] After a moment the light distorts slightly, giving the impression of being in a giant bubble as a half sphere of kinetic shielding forms in front of the party.
