B'Loone tosses off another smoke grenade and climbs out of the Explorer. The grenade falls short of his intended location but is to the right of the first one and increases the smoke front. At a quick glance, the damage to the explorer seems to be mainly cosmetic but another turn or two of examination will tell for sure.
After calling out orders to the two combat robots, Malcom begins running toward the SPDR bot advancing from the north end of the compound while reloading his laser rifle clip (Based on previous character actions, I assume that is what you meant by "take out that spider bot" and calling out "you're with me" to the combat bots, i.e. get closer and increase hit percentages. If not, let me know and I'll move you back
). He is rewarded for his trouble by being the prime focus of the pirate attack this round. Both the SPDR and OES bot's take two shots at him with their laser rifles and the tower bot with the heavy laser shoots at him as well. Luckily for Malcom, all the shots go wide.
Sebastian tries to lay down some more covering fire toward the robots advancing from the south but the extreme range is working against him and he once again misses (BTW, Sebastian has ammo for 3 more bursts left in Chatterbox).
The bot in the SE tower with the machine gun opens fire on Gren while he is reloading the recoilless rifle. The rounds connect, ripping through his skeinsuit and his body (72 points total, half to skeinsuit leaving the skeinsuit with 6 points and Gren with only 7 STA). Amazingly, he still manages to reload the rifle.
Maria slows the Dart down to 400 m/turn this turn to give herself more time on target and directs the ship's fire on the lone Yazarian on the south end of the line. Unfortunately, the shot just misses, slamming into the ground at the Yaz's feet. The two remaining towers on the west and northwest sides of the compound open fire at the Dart, luckily, slowing down caused their aim to be off and both shots miss.
Here are the positions at the end of the round (I didn't label B'Loone's position because it was getting crowded but he's right in front of the explorer checking it out):
Since it is starting to be important, I'll actually be rolling initiative for future rounds. You guys win initiative for the next round. The SPDR and OES bots will move toward Malcom, the other four bots will continue to advance towards the explorer and the pirates will sit tight. Declare your moves and targets for the next round.
