Jackson ignores the bulky figure for now, and instead jets around to the cables attaching the marine ship to the Atomic. Using the Lance of Longinus, he separates them, then begins jetting towards the "airlock" the marines used to enter the ship. "Airlock" of course being what is left of the airlock they used.
[3 => 0] The cables prove too strong. They're made out of carbon nanotubes, after all. LONGINUS should be strong enough to break it regardless, but it will need some force.

Rhodes would hang out in the hangar until something interesting happens, trying not to die horribly.
A shame. Interesting things don't happen by themselves.
Rhodes discovers a room in the back of the hangar. "Mission Control" it's called. Inside are rows of padded seats surrounding a volumetric display which whirrs to life, its power supply's cooling fans humming in outdated furor.
Depicted is a map of the Atomic and a red outline of the enemy ship. LONGINUS, Jackson's mecha, (does it really
belong to him?) is stationkeeping just outside the airlock. Damage to the Atomic's command wing is present at two airlocks, and it warns there are twelve intruders inside the bottom floor of the hab. It gives a rough count of how many there are in one room and in the hallway. 11 and 1 respectively.

"Captain! Sir!" Rai salutes the captain presenting him with a grim but determined expression. "There's one more aboard sir! He's in the cargo bay! The pirates were having me work on this pod, there's a prisoner in it, if I could just get so more time I could open that cryo pod and get him out. I think he's some kind of high profile hostage. You know, for some kind of ransom deal."
"The pod is a highly delicate kind of deal, one bad move and you might causes his cells to burst before he can thaw out. You got to send me and some guys back to open the pod!"
Get them to let me keep my gun too. Pour 6 ref into the whole deal.
[9 +> 7] "Right! Go rescue him! Two of you," he looks distraught. A crewmember, who seems to have been working on something in the hall, speaks up. "Sir! The ship is going to fall apart at this rate!"
"What is your job?" says the captain. "What is
our job? If we don't rescue someone in need, they'll catch on and you'll be out of a job. We'll be out of it. The whole crew. Are you ready to live in a junkyard?"
They seem distracted.
"By the way, is KORVAC ready?" the engineer nods silently. "Good," says the captain.

in the middle of the crossfire, Ryker continues to follow Rai. he ducks down and continues running and then gets some hair sniped off. it was a close call. then hides behind some pillar. later he notices the marines retreat and tries to find a way back to the ship to the main bridge.
Riker is completely lost here. The drab steel blue halls reek of alcohol and sweat. He wanders aimlessly through the hall, glancing at signage written in some sort of pirate slang that's basically impossible to decipher.
He hears a bang as he rounds the corner, and pellets ricochet off the wall behind him.
In the hallway up ahead, there is a lingering puff of smoke followed by the hiss of electrical faults.

Respond to the challenge in kind, to try and lure them out into a kill zone. Reserve 2 Dex to cut them down if they take the bait.
Abelard hears a THUMP and a ping. Something comes around the corner.
Without thinking, his Digitron grabs the grenade off the nearby floor and throws it back. It explodes midair, dealing no harm to Abelard who puts his head down.
What an awkward state of affairs.
He hears some kind of buzzing noise and the smoke doesn't clear. Perhaps some shrapnel damaged a power line? There's definitely a fire.

Start launching grenades off the wall into the hall where the voice is coming from, so as to avoid entering the hall itself. The grenades should bounce somewhat near the voice.
((Taking the distance as 10m. Indirect fire will also give -1 to rolls.))
Using the grenade launcher in close quarters won't work too well due to the proximity fuse. Eddie can't change it, despite the flak armor. Go figure.
Instead he sets the grenade launcher to use a timed fuse, and bounces one around the corner. [6+4 -> 2] {Dodge: 5 => 3 >> 1 counterattack} [Dodge: 3 => 1] It comes back around and explodes! However the fortifications take the brunt of it, leaving the entrenched position unharmed.
The grenade started an electrical fire, giving off a large amount of smoke.
