Events:Jaffar, realizing that his forcefield was linked to
himself for structural integrity, decided if he could incorporate technology in such a fashion as to work with his powers in order to strengthen them.
He hopped onto the station's wireless network, inputted the credentials he learned from a Ross a while back, and got on the network.
The Enforcer Suit is a general-use set of indoor power-armor, equipped with radiation shielding and a modest amount of all-purpose plating.

Specifications:
-Mass: 80kg per suit
-WER (Wearer Experience Rating): Average of 8.2/10
-Armoring: 2cm Nanosteel (+4 Defense, +10 (Fragmentation) Defense)*

-Motors: High Wattage Einz Premium 400W (+1 Strength)
-Power Supply: 2x 1200a NanoWorks Battery Military Edition + 2000W Ground Board
-Radiation: 1) Magnetic Radiation Flash Shielding--Provides level three radiation resistance for one second every four seconds. 2) Ambient Electromagnetic Shielding--Level one protection, can be raised to level two protection at the cost of additional energy.
{Eh, if anything else would be relevant, just ask
}
*Remember, standard defense is blanket armor that resists everything. Specific defense is added onto the standard defense.
He figured he could disarmor one of the dead or disabled Ross around the room. However,
Zakroff, the
Merchant of Death, was already scavenging the room for weaponry and devices. He wasn't looking for armor, luckily.
[5] Zakroff managed to scrounge up two shotguns, two submachine guns, and two pistols.
Of course, he couldn't carry them all with him, so he'd have to bring only a few to the bridge with him.

Meanwhile,
Kayle experimented with her newly improved powers to heal Herros' recent burn wounds and perhaps more. She attempted to retarget her
Drain Life spell so that she could siphon life from one person to another, regenerating damaged cells. Or so she thought, at least. Nothing is concrete with magic in play.
[6] [4] She first targeted a single Ross from the lower decks. Siphoning 20 hp from him, Kayle attempted to target the energy toward Herros, and not herself. What resulted was rather unsettling.
Herros first screamed in pain, then proclaimed
"Hmm, I feel better now. Thanks!"Not quite finished yet, Kayle kept him from getting up.
"Hold on, I want to try something else as well..."Kayle continued, this time siphoning another 21hp, 7 from each of the three soldiers. They began stirring. Kayle could almost... feel their pain [3]. Noticing this right away, she tried to lock on to one of them to see if she really could tell what others were feeling... she never really was that empathetic, so this ability would certainly surprise her if she had it. But alas after trying, she felt nothing.

"Hey, Herros," began Caplus, lugging his packed up Patriot gear behind him.
"Yeah?""Ya think you could... erm, program my armor to walk around and shoot if attacked? At least make it follow us and hold a gun.""It's self-powered, correct? It uses motors? In that case, I can do just that. Give it to me."Herros laid his hand on the armor, practicing his own affinity with technology while using his cloak at the same time to get a better understanding of the armor's computer systems. He carefully reprogrammed the suit by literally just thinking about it. Within a second he lifted his hand and cracked his knuckles as the suit unpacked, stood up, albeit clumsily, and received a rifle from Caplus.
"It's a bit clumsy, but the motors aren't that precise. Lousy engineering, I'd say."--------
Amatin, clutching his arm as the bleeding finally slowed down, stood upright while finalizing the agreement with Stonewall.
Afterwards, he ordered everyone to the bridge while interrogating the newcomer... Walter Burns, was his name. He had apparently come down from the bridge in order to check on the battle and report back. But the battle had already ended prior to his arrival... tough luck.
"Mr. Stonewall, watch this man... and stay right there. We'll return with the admiral shortly.""Suuuure..." he responded, his voice trailing off with a hint of scorn.
Following that, the entire team... including the new
Merchant of Death Zakroff, piled into the elevator, made their way up, and exited the elevator, guns raised, as they headed down the hallways into the control bloc of the ship.
Cue Soundtrack?The party reached a single large three-meter door. [1] Kayle scanned the room through the door... she detected numerous crewmen at their posts, a few... guards with pistols... around the area, and a single man in the front of the bridge (the hallway led forward, imagine it like this).
[4] With that, Herros attempted to open the door. When it refused to open... apparently being electronically locked, he placed his hand on it and killed it to open. The door then slid open, and the party, complete with robotic power armor and three allied Ross troops following behind.
The team walked down a central raised section of flooring, forward, to the man in front.
Crewmen lined the sides of the bridge, tapping away in the dark on their terminals. A number of them seemed infuriated--closer examination of their screens revealed that the AI had made some crude drawings on their displays. This ship was heading for disaster.
The man in front turned around immediately, having been watching the rest of the Ross fleet open fire on the Centauri fleet. Notably, many of the Ross vessels started to stop shooting, their captains noticing the
Aurora losing control. No radio chatter came from the speakers however. As for the man himself, he was a bearded Ross male in a white cloak, fully compliant with common stereotypes. Surprised, he drew his own rather large pistol, and pointed it at Amatin's face.
Tersely, he began to speak.
"Just what do you... rascals think you're doing..."The admiral thought he would lose his life if he fired, so obviously, Amatin firmly believed, he wouldn't shoot.
"Get him, Galena." said Amatin, ignoring the admiral's words, and smirking at the same time.
Without a word, Varron willed some false gravity in such a fashion that the admiral
should flip upward, become completely disoriented, and be unable to fire back. He would then simply pluck the pistol from his hand. Works on paper, no?
What actually happened, was nothing.
"Uh... Galena..." Amatin's voice lowered.
"Um.... TRYING!""What are you talking about?!"--------
Okay, slight departure from standard RTD style right here. I'll do mini-rolls from now on until after this confrontation. Of course, they'll be bulk mini-rolls... think of them as rolls that don't require everyone's participation. I'll be replying to you guys as the admiral and any other characters.
