Ross Navy Ensign (4/120) (Concussion!)
Ross Navy Ad-Hoc Gunner (0/120)
Ross Navy Ensign (34/120)

Ross Navy Gunner (0/100)
, cursing in her own language, fired at the gunner with the TAC once more. Doing so, she realized that the TAC isn't really suited for close-quarters combat, but probably more for dispersing formations and the like. [1+1] She predicted which way the gunner would jump, and fired accordingly. But the gunner, anticipating this, stood still. The TAC's bolt therefore missed again.
[4+2]
Herros shifted his aim onto the gunner's head, burning through his helmet with 46 points of damage. The gunner hurried forward, shielding his face with his glove, and tapped the shoulder of the nearest soldier.
"Take the gun! I'm getting out of here!" he shouted, turning quickly with intent to leave.
The soldier accepted the gun, dropping his particle rifle, and firing a spray of shots down the hallway, forcing the four players behind the door frame for cover.
Except for
Milia. Determined to save her team, she finished the coilgunner with another arrow before pulling out her imbued arrow and shooting the new gunner as well, killing him too with
100 damage while taking a single shot to the torso (
13 damage).
The hail of fire now having stopped, Milia notched three more arrows and drew the bow.
"Think I'll miss? Try me."She winked at
Amatin. Amatin, nodding, fired a rocket into the ceiling, knocking both elites down and sending one of the regulars into the wall. Miraculously, he was hardly injured by the blast himself. He then lounged on top of one, cycling his rocket launcher again and pointing it at the other.
Milia kept her three arrows notched and approached the two ensigns. She shifted them with her hand to make sure two would hit the standing soldier, while one would finish the dazed one at the wall.

Jaffar was rather bored. He expected this mission to be one that was fun and exciting. But here he was, playing follow-the-leader with grown men and reliving his nightmarish childhood.
He wanted to go get a drink, but he couldn't take his helmet off. That would be stupid.
As he sat down, bored out of his mind, one of the Ross Soldiers sat down next to him.
"Hey, buddy-you don't have to wear your helmet in here. There's no rules against that."His voice was muffled through the helmet, but Jaffar couldn't help but notice the soldier's high pitched voice. He was about to respond when the soldier took...
her helmet off, revealing a rather attractive woman underneath that armor.
Jaffar, confused, gulped, starting at the soldier's rifle, slung over her shoulder. It was longer than anything he had seen before, almost as long as he was tall. Not wanting to take a shot from that tot the face, Jaffar spoke... ahem, tried to speak:
"Erm...it's nothing to look at, my face I mean...which is to say, I mean, you are very...um, and I not, you know, so..."CAPLUS HALP!And then, just as if Jaffar's attempt at telepathy had worked,
Caplus leaped to Jaffar's rescue.
[3+1]
"Why hello there! Sorry to interrupt, but my friend here has to come with me.""But why?" she asked, her voice turning shrill.
Caplus ignored her, jerked at Jaffar's arm, pulled him up, and made his way to what he believed to be the next checkpoint, while
Varron followed. All Ross ships were built, usually, with an engine room or a series therof, with a checkpoint separating it from the first hub, and one major checkpoint linking the bridge and acting as a large hub for most of the ship's facilities. This major checkpoint was often heavily guarded, so Caplus made sure to start his helmet's camera up in order to transmit the video feed to the attack team.
Entering the ship's major hub/checkpoint, Caplus was confronted by a technician, holding a clipboard. The technician was followed by two security officers, both armed with holstered pistols.
The technician spoke at once, questioning Caplus:
"I presume you're the ensign with the discharged suit?"[3+1]
"Why yes. I've been carrying it around in portable mode this entire time. My back hurts...""Alright then. Would you just come with me to the lab...""The lab... why not the armory?""Orders, ensign. Orders. I'm not allowed to tell you in here, where everyone can hear. I'm not allowed to tell your friends, either. "He turned to Jaffar and Varron.
"You two," he began.
"Get yourselves to the crew organizer's office in the bridge. "The central checkpoint is big. Pretty big. Imagine it as a large + shape. The center is a large, round stairwell with five levels. Each arm of the + leads somewhere.
You three came from the southern arm. That as to do with the engine mostly, but nearby there is also a hall to the reactor room.
The left and right arms both lead to the ship's two side pods. Those are primarily for the weapons systems and such. However, the left arm also leads to the lab, and the right one leads to the ship's armory, where, if you choose to raid it, you can find Big Guns™.
The north arm leads to four main things: The ship's primary gun batteries, the hangars, the normal (non officer's) crew quarters, and the cargo hold.
Each arm is a large rectangular room about 50 meters long, 20 meters wide, and 17 meters tall. There are rails and such on the floor for moving equipment and cargo and, as you will see, some other stuff.
The top of the center room is where the serious guards are. The rest of the hub is protected by standard security mooks armed with pistols.

"Well then... this is going to be quite fun..." muttered
Zaroff. He looked around for
any sort of tunnel whatsoever. He managed to find one... [3] on the ceiling, in the center of the room.
Looking again to make sure this was the only possible way, he reluctantly began to consider ways to get up there. He considered stacking crates--there were certainly enough to get up there. But it would require an exorbitant amount of time to do so, and with the noise he made at the start of his encounter with that guard, that option would be at best a last resort.
