Chapter III: Reunited

"Delighted to hear that, Marbo. Spill it."

Zephyr, you start working furiously on your console but the fire suppression system does not activate. For your LF: It's possible but very difficult. If you miscalculate, you might beam their hands away as well, or you might not beam anything at all.

Lorq, you hit one of the attackers with your syringe rifle and he goes down. A phaser beam misses you just barely and hits the wall behind you. Next time you might not be as lucky.

They definitely seem to be unsure about how to react to the crazy woman that just set her console on fire and scratched open her cheek. When you jump over your console at them, they move back, trying to keep some distance. When you swing at one of them, he ducks under your punch but then you hit one of the others with your rifle and he falls to the ground immediately.
However, as you look around, you see that you are surrounded. Two of the infected drop their weapons and jump at you to take you down. The others seem still a bit unsure of what to do about you. They turn back to the other PCs but don't shoot right away. You bought the others a re few valuable seconds.
