if you want we can say I reloaded while we were running.
Yup. It makes sense that you reloaded in between.
Abandoned dome, Underworld, Zyronis
With precise movements,
James moved inside the building and took cover near
Maya Chen. Despite the chaos unfolding around them, James intoned, his voice calm and measured:
"Greetings, Maya Chen. How may I be of assistance to you?"
Maya's surprise was palpable when she laid eyes on James, a Synth worth 50 thousand credits, standing before her. The sight of such advanced technology amid the chaos of combat was unexpected, to say the least. Maya glanced up at the robot, her eyes weary. Her nerves were frayed, her hands trembling. Her voice wavered as she spoke, betraying her anxiety in the face of danger.
"I... I need a Lift stim and a medkit," Maya stammered, her words faltering as she struggled to maintain her composure.
James, ever attentive to her needs, responded without hesitation, presenting the requested items from his backpack with a mechanical precision that only served to heighten Maya's sense of unease. With her hands trembling slightly, Maya kept her head down, applied the Lift stim in herself and focused on steadying her breathing, desperate to find a moment of respite amidst the chaos of battle.
"Captain, are you okay? Do you need medical assistance?" - Maya then shouted over the deafening roar of gunfire, her voice barely audible above the cacophony of battle.
With the heavy machine gun from
R5 continuing to unleash a storm of bullets towards her position,
Elena Ramirez knew that she needed to prioritize defense over offense. As she sought full cover behind the remnants of the duracrete wall, Elena focused on buying time, knowing that reinforcements had just arrived. Bullets whizzed past her with frightening speed, but miraculously, none found their mark.
She spared a quick glance towards Maya, her eyes reflecting gratitude and determination.
"I'm fine, Maya," she replied, her voice strained but resolute.
"Focus on your own safety. Reinforcements have arrived."
As the chaos of battle continued to unfold, with a steady hand and unwavering focus,
Peter released a blast of energy towards
R3, the concentrated fire hitting home and causing the mechanical attacker to falter under the onslaught. The damaged robot emitted a series of sparks and buzzed erratically, its movements becoming sluggish but still functioning. But
Corbin and Douklan found their shots missing their marks. Despite their best efforts, their aim faltered amidst the chaos and urgency of the situation. Once again, Douklan's plasma projector whined with energy, but his shot veered off course.
Unfortunately,
Corbin was still exposed and crossing open ground. Now three of the robots shifted their focus towards him, their laser beams converging with deadly precision. Despite his valiant efforts to hold his ground, Corbin found himself overwhelmed. With a cry of pain, Corbin stumbled forward, his body convulsing as the intense energy of the lasers
seared through his armor and scorched his flesh. He was still alive and moving, but
barely.
OOC:
Corbin took 25 more damage. Ouch! =( You can act as usual, but be careful, as you have very little HP left.

Abandoned dome entrance, Underworld, Zyronis
The air hummed with tension as
Mercer and Hank navigated through the labyrinthine corridors of Zyronis. The glow of their flashlights pierced the darkness, casting eerie shadows on the walls adorned with rusted pipes and flickering bluish lights. But something changed as the distant echoes of gunfire reverberated through the tunnels, punctuated by the metallic clang of combat.
"Sounds like trouble," Mercer said, his breath quickening with urgency.
"Yeah," Hank replied, his grip tightening on his laser rifle.
Their pace quickened, fueled by a blend of adrenaline and determination. As they rounded a corner, they reached an area with pipes and the outer doors of the underground dome loomed before them, just ahead. But, attracted by the noise, a new threat emerged.
Hank's heart sank as he caught sight of it: another
cybernetically-enhanced ape, its body bristling with augmentations, located between them and the entrance of the dome where Peter, Corbin and Douklan fought. In between them, there was also a pipe. To go over that pipe, Mercer would either have to jump or go through the stairs on his left (F13 to F10).

Players won the initiative. What do you do?
