Diego fires at the thief who is just recovering his balance, but his rounds go wide, instead striking the terminal. The monitor collapses in a shower of sparks and electricity arcs, and the room lights flicker a few times before going out. A moment later dim, red emergency lighting kicks on, bathing the room in a dim, red glow. {GM Intrusion}
Eli ignores the flickering lights and pulls the trigger. His spike rifle fires and the thief at the terminal, tearing his helmet and part of its head off. The beings hands fling upwards and it bounces off the sparking terminal before it finally topples over onto the floor. It's 'skull' is bulbous and pulsates grotesquely, and may be made of more cartilage material than bone. Aliens, oh snap.
The two thieves manhandling, er, alienhandling the dangerous looking device, drop it and spill backwards to opposite sides of the room. The one to the right (T2) claws at its weapon and clears it from its holser. The one to the left (T3) bumps into a tool bench and comes up with two small cannisters in its hands.
The alien on the floor (T4), spins the industrial press off of him and stands up, grabbing his rifle on the way.
The aliens have all acted. Floats and AJ are up.
{GM Intrusion} due to the bright light in the corridor versus the darkness of the room, there will be an additional level of difficulty shooting into the weapons lab as well as dodging fire emanating from the weapons lab. Diego take 1 xp and give 1 xp to another player.
{Aliens} Eli's "Fights Aliens" focus came into play, granting an extra 2 points of damage (13 = 7 + 4 from the nat 20 + 2), which killed it.
