Not-Zephyr, seemingly ignoring all of the chaos around him, charges straight at the symbiote captain with a crazed look in his eye and attempts to wrestle the phaser out of his grasp.

"You will not...be responsible...for the oppression...of our species!" He says with strain as they grapple with one another, "We do not share our hosts...it is not natural!"

Kendall grabs an item next to her and tosses it to the far side of Cass, on the opposite end of the room, and then she tumbles in the opposite direction, firing at both Zephyr's face and the pale man's face, and rolls behind another piece of cover.

Can I keep this action and the rolls associated with it, just moving it all up here instead of when it originally posted?

The captain drops his weapon as you charge him but he grapples you before you can take it away from him. Grappling, you both roll out of the cover. You must have underestimated the captain's strength because very quickly he ends up on top, holding you down. "What is not natural is your defiance of my orders. I have been put in charge of you by the queen herself!"
He smashes down his head, breaking your host body's nose and getting your blood into your eyes, blinding you for the moment.

Lt. Yang fires his tranquilizer rifle at the pale man right after Cass' shot hits the wall behind him. He hits the man's shoulder but again, the shot is stopped by the armor he's wearing. Still, it distracts the man from shooting for just a fraction of a second, giving Alex a better opportunity to avoid his attack.

The captain's guard is trying to align a shot at Zephyr but he's wrestling with the captain, making it difficult to hit him without hitting the captain. After a second, he gives up and starts lining up a shot at the pale man instead.

Cass, suddenly you hear Darcy's voice over your comm badge: "Potential to Commander Cassano. Apologies for the interruption."

Hero, you can keep the rolls if you want (copypaste them into your new post). See if you would change anything because of the changed situation but otherwise you can reuse the old post

Maybe her bite healed up immediately, but damn that felt good. As phaser fire starts going off from all directions, Alex dives for the nearest console to gain some meager amount of cover.

With the pale man distracted by the shot, Alex pivots and dives for his weapon, hoping to wrest it from his hands.

Alex, remembering her combat training, notices the moment of distraction and utilizes it. She jumps up at the pale man and reaches for his weapon. Before he can react, she is already pulling it out of his hand. A shot gets fired off during the struggle and hits a terminal on the far side of the medical bay, which immediately explodes in a fountain of sparks. It sets the bed closest to it on fire.
Your struggle ends with Alex taking the pale man's weapon and moving a few steps away from him.

Staying in cover for the moment, Cass responds to Darcy in a conversational tone. "Gee, Darcy, can't I help put down an alien mutiny without you hounding me? What's up?"

Clearly taken aback by the content of what you're saying and the tone you're saying it in, Darcy, unsure how serious you are, replies: "There's a par... an engineer from the Four asking permission to come on board. Commander, do you require help?"

Kendall, seeing the situation become dire, grabs an item next to her and tosses it to the far side of Cass, on the opposite end of the room, and then she tumbles in the opposite direction, firing at both Zephyr's face and the pale man's face, and rolls behind the bed on fire.

"Under no circumstances do you let anyone come aboard without my authorization. Are this ship's shields up?"
Apr 4, 2019 3:18 pm
Kendall, as Zephyr is currently engaged in a grapple on the floor with teh captain, it's hard to hit him. You give off a shot in that direction but just barely miss him. However, your phaser's stun beam hits the pale man straight in the face right after Alex took his phaser. He stumbles for a second and then falls to the ground where he lies motionless.

"The Four's shields are up, commander. What is your situation? Should we open fire?"
Apr 4, 2019 3:20 pm
"Negative. Stand by. " Cass moves to get a better angle to shoot at not-Zephyr's head.

Out of the corner of his eye, NotZephyr notices his comrade slump to the floor. A slight look of concern passes over his face. Then without turning his head, but looking at the rest of the room sideways, he releases his grip on the captain with his right hand and puts his phaser up to his own temple.

"You won't take me alive. Release me or we both die."

As Zephyr raises the gun against his own head, the captain suddenly changes up his grip and grabs Zephyr's wrist. He doesn't move it away or blocks him from pulling the trigger, simply holds it in place so Zephyr can't suddenly change his aim.
"You're an embarassment to the queen and our entire race. Do the universe a favor and finish yourself off!", he growls at Zephyr, simultaneously in clicking and in the language of the Consortium.

"I just had communications with Cassano. It sounds like something went wrong over there. We are not to take on any guests at this point."
Apr 4, 2019 7:06 pm
Cass doesn't lower the weapon but holds her fire. "So what's the game plan, as you see it?" she says, aware that Darcy is still standing by on the open comm. "I mean, I get that you're making a last stand because you don't want to be removed from my friend's body, but your only fellow conspirator is out of commission and I've jammed the door, so no one else can get into this room to help you. The shields are up, so it's not like I can beam anyone in or out. We're all just stuck at the moment, and you're pointing a phaser at your own head. So I ask you again, what do you see as the game plan?"
Apr 4, 2019 7:21 pm
Alex quickly trains her stolen phaser on the pale man. "Stay still or you’re going to become a cloud of atoms. I have no qualms about ending you."
Apr 4, 2019 7:24 pm
Alex, the second you say that, the pale man jumps up and tries to attack you. Give me a Feelings roll to react. And tell me what you're doing. If you want to fire, that's also fine with Feelings due to the sudden react.
Edit: Actually, for shooting, I'd still like Lasers
