Dominique Wakeman & Tarran SmithDom finished her work on Tarran, put the medkit away, and walked out into the corridor. "Oh, fuck that," she said upon seeing the ants. She immediately moved to the other door and started wrenching it closed; she wasn't about to let those insect assholes get down here, too.
"OW! DOM, GODDAMMIT PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TAKE SOME LESSONS IN CAREFULNESS. Urgh. Anyway, we really should close that door. Now."
Close the door to the outside, quick.
[Int 4, Dex 2, Fight 2+1, Luck 2 +5 34/20 (+10 HP)] Dom finish up patching the wounds -the ones that she created- on Tarran and starts to pack up as Harry hauls the protesting door the rest of the way open. Cautiously Dominique takes point with Harry and walk into the corridor, there's a little light coming in from the corridor leading back up to the chapel but once again you don't really feel you need it that much. At least not to tell you that floor is covered in very confused ants.
Cursing like a fluent day laborer she purposefully steps on an as many of them as she can while stepping across the hall to close the door. Tarran despite just having been patched follows her out, crunching across a surprising number of ants himself on the way over. [Dominique Str 2+1+1 + P.Kinetics 4+1 + Tarran Strength 2 + p.Kinetics 2+1 Vs Difficulty 4 Pass] The two of you manage to slide the door to the chapel hall shut easily, pushing it together as tight as you can. Without activating the magnetics you won't be able to lock it together, but that's hardly a problem. Ants aren't famous for their door opening abilities.

James Evan"OH, !@#$! NOT THE ANTS AGAIN!" James frantically helped them close the door securely. "Guys! A mesed up door like this isn't going to hold them in very well! It's only going to be a bit of a distraction! We need something hot or explosive, or one of you use those psionic powers of yours!"
You panic wildly like a chicken with its head cut off, running into the corridor and jumping up and down on the ants on the floor. In hindsight keeping your cool might have been a better option, still this is awfully cathartic.

Taric Sizier"Well, Saun'll be glad it's being used to kill someone painfully. I'm going to scoop up some of the ants in it, psionically agitate them then pour them on a victim"
As an idea strikes you you take Sauns old helmet out of pack, judging by the smell you should have washed it when you had the chance back at the colony. You then attempt to herd the ants into the helmet, [Dex 4] through a combination of scaring and scooping you manage to collect almost a pound of ants. After that though it becomes more than difficulty to keep them in the helmet, you'll need a lid of some kind if you want to carry them in you pack.
(Helmet Half full of ants.)

Ashely Fey & CompanyAssist in closing the door "whats the panic with the ants?"
The others seem to have the door closing thing under control, instead you make a few inquiries as to their strange aversion to ants. It would appear that they were, ridiculous as it seems, attacked by ants in the past. From what you hear it was fairly bad and they made it out with the help of a squad mate who is no longer present.

Jordan Grey
Health: Damaged
Charge: Almost Full
Description: 5'9'' Jordan is a slender blond man with the red scraggle of beard perpetually encroaching on his chin. Part of his memories were lost during translation, and all hope of recovering them lost in the second battle. His name is a combination of earth history and the book Grey's anatomy. His medical expertise remains intact along with his sarcasm and combat skills, but most of the rest of his life is hazy.
Personality complication: Hatred, he might not show it much of the time but Jordan holds a grudge against the... thing that robbed of the chance to ever recover his memories. He is determined to kill it, if it's the last thing he ever does.
