You have to go outside and observe. If you just wanna a rough estimate (can we outrun them?) you can keep your main action. If you wanna know how many meters per round, it's Use Skill and uses your main action for this round.

With a twitch of his head Corbin activates his comms. "I've got at least 6 more moving in, regrouping."
Corbin fires at one of the rats and falls back to the corner of the house.

As the crew scrambled to respond to the impending threat, Corbin wasted no time in taking action. With practiced precision, he aimed his weapon at one of the approaching rats and fired, the bright energy burst striking true and felling the creature in a flash of light.
But as more rats closed in on their position, Corbin knew that he couldn't hold them off alone. With a swift retreat, he fell back to the corner of the house, taking cover as he prepared to regroup with his teammates.

Peter is still pissed that he missed his shot but with the warning from Hank he goes back into action, he will move to I2 and fires at R8.
"Let's re-group out here, DO NOT get stuck inside the house, and let's get ready to maybe advance directly while engaging"
For now he will stand his ground in the streets, and pay attention to how many more rats seem to come out.

Hank says, "If we're going to stand out here, then let's get together in the center of the road.
"James, keep close. Don't want you to get nibbled on, either."
Hank will fire on a rat he has a clear line of sight on that isn't R8. (He didn't expect Peter to miss.) I figure R3 and R4 are visible, but under partial cover. He should have a clear line of sight on R9, R11, or R12. Let's say R12, but please move that if it is obscured, too. Now, let's see if that equivocating has any meaning ...

Unhappy with the decision to move out in the open where the group will have to stay alert in all directions rather than just the two access points inside the house, Douklan nevertheless is accustomed to following orders. He trots out into the street with the others.

No, Mercer was only moving to the back if they were retreating to stay between the rest of the group and the rats.
Mercer is still going to do his best to get to a position with the group closer to the rats. (G5?G6?)
Mercer will then use Total Defense, since there are no rats nearby.

Mercer moves to the street and watch the oversized rats moving towards him. They are as fast as a dog, and would be impossible to outrun.Peter and Hank missed their shots. The advancing horde of cybernetically-enhanced rats surged forward with a relentless determination, their movements a frenzied blur of motion as they closed in on the crew of the Solaris. They tried to bite Peter and did bite Mercer.
Their bodies were a patchwork of metal and fur, the cybernetic implants gleaming against their natural forms. Sharp, metallic teeth protruded from their jaws, glistening with a malevolent sheen as they snarled and snapped at the air. Their eyes burned with an unnatural intensity, glowing red with malice as they closed in on their targets.
In parallel, let's start a new round. All PCs can act! What do you do?

I didn't get Mercer's armor, so let's clarify, as that's relevant now. The Icarus Harness (in sealed mode) consumes 1 oxygen tank every 30 minutes, unlike a vacc suit that recycles it and uses 1 every six hours. So you would have to haul a lot of tanks for a couple of hours in sealed mode. I suppose you're using it and not vacc proof? Or did you change for an armored vacc suit like Hank? (So your AC is not 16?)In parallel, let's start a new round. All PCs can act! What do you do?

Vacc fresher: This three-kilo tube filters and compress- es atmosphere to refill vacc suit oxygen tanks. It can extract oxygen from any atmosphere which contains it, even in the form of carbon dioxide. Refilling a standard vacc suit tank requires ten minutes of operation and consumes one type A power cell. Most vacc freshers are also equipped with an emergency hand crank power source, though it requires at least two hours of cranking.PG75 says:

As the horde of cybernetically-enhanced rats closed in on their position, Corbin, Hank, and Douklan, with disciplined focus, aimed their weapons and opened fire, each shot finding its mark and killing one rat.
Corbin also realized that he had expended half of his magazine in the relentless firefight. With a quick glance at his remaining ammunition, he saw that he had 3 bursts remaining before reloading.
Meanwhile, Mercer surged forward with his vibroblade, his movements fluid and graceful as he danced through the fray. With a powerful swing, he brought his blade down, slicing through the thick fur and metal of one of the rats, cleaving it in two with a single stroke.

@arthur12320 , Peter cannot fire a rifle in close quarters combat. You have to:
1. Club up your weapon (Rifle-sized guns used this way count as a medium primitive weapon with no Shock score) and Stab with it.
or
2. Disengage and move away without firing.
See page 50 for more details. What do you do?
