OOC:
I guess the first thing I'll do is invoke Holroyd's 'Resilient' talent. Then please let me know what my options are - I suspect there is some sort of option to dodge?
[ +- ] Resilient

Rolls

Strength (Resilient) - (7d6)

OOC:
In Close Combat, there is an option to block a strike - this counts as your rounds fast action (you get a fast and a slow, or two fast, actions each round. But there isn't a dodge option in response to being attacked with Ranged Combat.

However, if you have armour (do you have the heavy overalls?) then roll the armour rating (3 for the overalls) and any 6s you roll each cancel out one point of damage you receive. However, I think you don't have the overalls.

Thus, the impact of Singleton's attack is that you receive 1 point of harm (as you rolled no 6s on your Resilient talent) and you are prone on the floor.
Holroyd is hit in the leg, and the force of the blast drops him to the floor.
OOC:
In combat, once you are prone, it costs a Fast Action to get back up again.

Holroyd falls to the ground from the impact. He looks up to Singleton, then to the others. "They'll be coming now," he says flatly. "I could have been more use to you at the shuttle, at a chokepoint - here...they may not even have any interest in a thing like me. Run." He calls to Hirsch, "Be wary - if her loyalties are to the Company, then they are not to you."

"Then we should be going.", Hannah says flatly and turns to the survivors.

Her eyes lock into Hirsch's as she exclaims, "I can fly that #$%@ shuttle out there. I don't want to die, but I can't let a rogue a.i. attack us during launch. You're choices are come with me to the shuttle or drag him to it. Either way we leave now." Hannah starts to walk towards the Southern air lock hoping that a bullet doesn't hit her back.
OOC:
Are we in combat now? If so, I can delete this post and move it after everyone goes.

Morgan's rifle comes up, aimed straight at Hannah, his eyes hard. The barrel dips. He doesn't want to kill anyone, especially not with those things up in the lab ready to kill them all.

He looks from Hannah to Holroyd, then back. "You're a real piece of shit, Singleton," he says, but he knows there's nothing he can do about it now.

"Dammit," he says. He nods once to Holroyd, glares again at Hannah, and then turns to run toward the shuttle.
