Jackson fires his remaining missiles at the marine if he dives out of cover again, spending 2 more dexterity and 1 reflex to ensure that the missiles hit, and close enough to do damage. If the marine does not poke out of cover, he returns to the mech bay and looks around for either more missile ammunition or different armaments that he might swap to.
Adjusting his aim, Jackson waits for a response from the marines. He dives out of cover again, and so Jackson fires in response. [6 -> 4x2]
The missiles engulf the target area. However, since vacuum does not transmit shockwaves at all, it seems that it's quite difficult to kill that bugger. Looks like he's wearing a flak suit or something, because you spot him thrusting around into space and behind the
Atomic's support pylon.'
Jackson spots someone in a pirate spacesuit creeping up to the Navy cruiser. Rhodes, or perhaps Abelard?

Rhodes, throwing caution to the wind, would head out into space and start creeping towards the marine ship, hoping that they're too busy being exploded to look in his direction.
((No problem, though it would be helpful if you told me beforehand next time
.))
[3 => 2] Rhodes sneaks over to the navy ship. The marines are actually gone to go breach the
Atomic, while the navy cruiser is full of holes and looks like it will need repair. Rhodes could imagine taking a repair tech hostage, if he was willing to go that far.

[3+5 vs 3+6 = You fail constitution] Abelard unleashes havoc. [9 --> 2] [3 => 2, they dodge] Most of the fire goes into space, of course, and tracers sparkle across the vacuum of space as they ricochet harmlessly off the ship's hull.

Sneak past. This guy doesn't seem very important. Where's all this action that can be felt/heard?

"Men! Get away from th' goddamn mech! You can't do nothin t' it!"
Spend 1 command to make my men take a tactical retreat away from the mech, and attempt to breach another airlock.
Pump another 2 dex to get back over to the pirate ship, taking potshots at the mech with my grenade launcher along the way.
Eddie's helmet screams at him as he depressurizes the airlock. He hears a hissing noise. But there's no time to hesitate. He jumps out and tries to maneuver back into safety behind the cruiser.
A swarm of rockets bursts into life at his presence, converging on Eddie's position. This time, they arc around the cruiser and land all around him, shrapnel bouncing off his flaksuit. [8 dmg incoming] [5 => 2] [6-1 taken due to armor] He feels a shard of shrapnel tear into his suit's hand, but it doesn't go deep, and the shrapnel plugs the hole.
[Failed constitution vs the mech] Eddie doesn't get a chance to fire back.
The marines unleash one more round of fire before retreating to the other side of the enemy vessel (the
Atomic). Using the enemy vessel as a shield will discourage the use of heavy ordnance. [10 --> 2, blocked by mech armor]
[4 => 1] A team of marines breaches another airlock, this time using a lesser charge, and opens a path into the
Atomic.
Before they enter, however, the chief marine taps your shoulder.
"Dude, your helmet's cracked!" he stares off into hostile, mecha-controlled space.
"Don't know what we're gonna do about it, but I reckon we'll have a better shot at taking it down if we force it to get close."((1 Command point))
