Tarran Smith, Dominique Wakeman, James EvanRun out and fire at the weapons the Immortals are wielding, rather than them themselves. Use my Jormungandr.
Dom rushed back out to see what James was screaming about and, upon seeing the suit, hit it with a Slam to hopefully knock it down. She could think about tactics later; right now she just wanted it out of the way so she could see the room and make sure nothing was close to the coma kid and Jake.
Before anyone made it to him, James shouted "Immortals! Two of them!" and proceeded to hide in front of Jake and behind his riot shield.
James Evan 44+0-1 = 43
Tarran Smith 79+19-33 = 65
Dominique Wakeman 6+4-33 = -23
Jake Fern 4+3-4 = 3
Immortal Skirmisher 1 53+7-4 = 56
Immortal Skirmisher 2 60+7-4 = 63
Despite having to sprint the distance back from the power control station, Tarran is the first one to get in on the fight. He arrives on the heels of James' warning, bursting in behind the immortals without a moment to spare for surprise. [Quickshot 2-2+1+1] He does spare a couple moments to miss the immortals completely. One of the immortals turns to regard him without expression.
The immortal that turned to face Tarran doesn't even pause as it brings its shotgun to bear. [Quickshot 2] Tarran, having a healthy desire to keep his hide intact, throws himself out of the way as the particle accelerator turns the space that he previously occupied into a sheet of burning plasma.
The other immortal trudges toward James [Dex 2] slowly, covering ground without concern or haste.
James, too thrilled to finally be awake to ruin it by dying, slides his riot shield off his back and dashes over to cover Jake. [Soak 4] Bracing solidly into the shield, blocking himself up behind a low table and keeping his head down. [Luck 3]
Jake, [Will 4] does himself some credit by locking his elbow over James' back and aiming one of the pistols Tarran gave him at the oncoming immortal. It would probably do more good if he wasn't shaking visibly.
Dominique, too slow to make it to the party in time to get a say in the games, arrives behind Tarran.
(Soak percentage for James' riot shield is 30% higher while he stays blocking.)
(Tarran and Dom are now at short range to the Immortals)

Aaron Whitewalk up to it, point my Phoenix at it and crash
You walk under the turret slowly, ready to jump back at the first sign of hostility. The turret tracks you, but it doesn't fire. You get under the turret carefully, aiming your pistol up under it, taking all the time in the world to place your shot. [Confirm critical 4 Vs 1, critical confirmed]
"I don't think that's a good i-" Paula manages before you pull the trigger and flames engulf you. (Turret Armor -96, immune to burns.) [Soak 4+1] (Aaron Armor -9, Hp -16. Suit is on fire)
A third of a brick's worth of gas, compressed into a solid state, then sublimated and ignited, makes quite a boom in an enclosed lab. [Luck 4] Pure luck keeps you under the turret as the explosion of searing wind knocks you on your ass. Bits of your armor strip away and parts of your flesh singe as the fireball expands around you. The turret itself has a fresh semi-molten gouge from your blast, but it is definitely still active, and very definitely hostile now.
"Fuck! What the hell did he just do!?" Cale shouts from outside the room.
There's a pause before Paula's voice calls out, more than a little startled in tone.
"You still alive in there Aaron?" ---
