Before taking a step forward he mutters “16 meters straight. Nade launcher”, just loud enough for those hiding in the gondola to hear. He begins walking toward the GOC as he turns the setting of his laser rifle up to 10, praying that the sob isn’t wearing an albedo screen. Savrax tries hard not to look up straight at the goc so as to not be identified as an imposter right away. Yet he tries to keep enough of him in focus so he can register any change in his body language that might communicate that he had been discovered. He takes a couple of steps and snaps his rifle up and takes two shots, not bothering to shout for his companions to roll out.
IC "26 meters straigt. Nade Launcher." As he crosses the lobby and kept a black pseudo krik hide couch between him and the terrorist Savrax was trying to gauge how much cover the desk offered since the GOC was sitting behind it with his feet up and chair reclined. It left only his head, feet and rifle showing. "Damn he thought the desk could queer the deal for a quick shot."
Deciding to push his luck he continued his advance when the GOC said, "Hey. where'd you get a laser rifle.....?"
Savrax knew the gig was up as the guy down in the locker had been carrying an auto rifle so he went to snap off two 10 SEU shots as the GOC was bringing his rifle to bear when an explosive thud muffled by a closed door thundered to his right and the GOC sat more fully upright and looked toward his right.
Savrax snaps the rifle to firing position and squeezes off two shots (Range 14m -10, target stationary +10, Savrax walking +0, hard cover -20= Savrax RW: 50 -20 =30% chance to hit)[shots 24% & 51% one hit for 57 STA]
A shot catches the GOC in the chest and slams him back against the wall before he crumples to the floor.
The rest of the Royal Marines explode out of the gondola at a run and fan out into the lobby at the sound of the muffled explosion. But the GOC is lying on the floor with his chest smoking. Niss peals off to check a civilian body behind the check in desk and Slayerian kneels to check for signs of life on a body at the bar.

The ding of an arrival tone of an elevator sounds and the door opens to [forgive the fantasy creature just needed a big figure] Gorlian in polyplate armor lugging a machinegun.
OOC: I'll need everyone to sound off with Rate of fire or an SEU setting and be warned that unless he comes out of the elevator he will gain soft cover.
If you'd like to see what I think a gorlian (thug) in polyplate armor would look like here's a link:
