To clarify, the main decisions to be had is whether or not to stop at the Gundeck or not, and to be ready to do something when the doors inevitably open.

[Lenglon]

Begin fabrication process for a gyrojet raptor
Ready Linear Rifle and standby for targets.
Standby for elevator activation.

Spoiler: Vision 1 (click to show/hide)

Name: Vision 1
 
Sub-Species: Mapping platform
 
Unofficial Occupation: Wallhack Sniper
 
Equipment Packs: 1 Drone pack
 
Appearance: a large heavy metal crate with motorized magnetic spheres on the bottom that allow it to roll... slowly... on a smooth surface... in any direction. A Linear Rifle is mounted on a unarmored multi-point-connection servo-arm that can rise from the top-center of the crate and aim in any direction and has enough play to extend it beyond the edge of the crate to aim down below the rim of the box. The linear rifle can be removed and used normally by a Star Knight if necessary, but upon remounting the system will require a recalibration period before it will be ready to fire the weapon. There is a belt-feed going down along the servo-arm into the interior of the crate. The majority of the box contains tiny drone hangers, mostly top-mounted around the weapon. There is a small manufactory internal to the system that can build replacement drones if fed standard salvageable parts, and storage for some raw materials internal to the system for the same purpose. There is a touchscreen panel on the side of the crate that displays a 3d image of what has been mapped since its last activation and accepts commands. the crate itself is decently durable but weapons fire that enters the miniature drone bays could detonate the system's ammo reserves and/or destroy docked drones.
the drones are mostly small unarmed mapping quadcopters. there are 4 standard models with a belly-mounted manipulator arm and high-grade mapping equipment, 1 with a cyber interface instead of a grasper on the arm for remote hacking and 1 with a belly mounted Phazon pistol.
 
Backstory: This is a recent military modification of a drone mapping system. the primary premise of the system is the drones serve as eyes for an incursion team. the main box's linear rifle, however, is the center of the system. the drones are constantly sending back mapping data including the locations of threats, and the linear rifle acquires and neutralizes those threats no matter what is in the way. Although it performed well in controlled test environments, it has yet to be field-tested. It is advertised as a way for the Star Knights to never have to walk into an ambush again. The truth of this advertisement has yet to be seen.

Try to recover from Psionic Stress. Take cover, either behind Thunderbolt's shield or beside the door or other suitable cover, and be prepared to open fire on any hostiles with my Phazon rifles once the doors open. Also vote to skip the weapons deck, or maybe send half the marines and a Star Knight or two to clear it while the rest of us proceed to the bridge.

Spoiler: Guwat (click to show/hide)

Name: Guwat Torif-Purk
 
Gender Male
 
Sub-Species: Psionic
 
Unofficial Occupation: Unseen Hand
 
Equipment Packs:  Universal Psionic Pack

Ranger Pack
 
Appearance: He stands at 6'0", with lean muscles and broad shoulders. His eyes are black orbs. His face has thin, fleshy tendrils in the shape of a beard and mustache of a darker purple than his skin. He has no augmentation beyond those he is required to have, and his skin is a dark purple color color.
 
Backstory: Guwat lost his parents at an early age and grew up in an orphanage until the age of ten. He was adopted at the age of ten by a someone who took an interest in his psionic abilities. He was raised along with four other psionic children, but he rarely talks about them or the person who raised him. When his caretaker died a short while after he turned 18, due to mysterious circumstances, he underwent the Augmentation process to further enhance his psionic gift.
 
Skills:
+3 Psionic Amplification
+2 Psionic Endurance
+2 Phazon Gun
+1 Salvaging
+1 Close Combat
+1 Fletchette Gun
 
Abilities:
Psionic Dark Matter Manipulation: The ability to manipulate dark matter using his mind. The ability will grow in strength as he does, allowing a larger variety of uses and applications.

In the Zone: His focus is very difficult to disrupt due to pain, loud noises, bright lights, or other stimuli, within reason. This is an active ability than lasts between 3 and 6 turns and requires an action similar to "taking a breath" to refocus his mind after the active duration, leaving him less effective at doing things for that turn.

Follow-up: He can shift from using his weapons to using his psionic powers and vice-versa. Essentially allows him to use his secondary action for another attack or action, using either his psionic powers if he made a weapon attack or his weapon if he made a psionic attack, so long as he spends his tertiary action to focus on the secondary attack. This means that he cannot use a move secondary action or cover tertiary action when making a second attack.

Promptly deciding that the weapon decks' are too much fo a distraction, Ognip'pish promptly wires the Elevator to simply go past the deck, solving the problem.


Vision begins fabricating a second Raptor class drone, but with a gyrojet as its weapons platform.
[4]
Using replacement parts reserved for the Raptor, a second drone is beginning to be fabricated, but its not really clear what will happen.

The Eye drone at the top of the elevator reports two three soldiers at a standing ready pose near the elevator, along with a group of twenty marching by the door to another destination. The three waiting appear to be wearing a heavy powered-armor while the group fo twenty is wearing a marine light void suit.

[4+3] The linear rifle you have is charged and ready, and should you fire it in the next turn, you can choose to do another primary action.

[3+1]
Guwat takes cover behind Thunderbolt, and mentally shakes off the mental stress of psionic burdens.
[remove Psionic Stress.]

The Door begins to open, but the squad reacts first.

[Lenglon]

Erm, What? no, nonono that is not what I said I wanted to do. build a new raptor. dont mess up the perfectly good one I already have!

[Blood_Librarian]

It's just switching out the batteries and the barrel with a launcher and a autoloader, could easily be switched out, but if you insist you'll have to dock an eye drone to compensate for hte increased processing power ti would require.

[Lenglon]

...
whoever designed Vision needs to learn about dedicated subprocessors and why you have them.
Dock Eye4
I know the regular Raptor works, but nobody has tried using gyrojet weapons on the enemy yet. I wont disable the working raptor just for the test.

[Blood_Librarian]

Need more actions to complete the post, at least three.

[Beirus]

Activate In the Zone and use my psionics to kill all the enemy personnel outside the elevator. Maybe a waist-high or torso-high wave of compressed dark matter to slice through them, or just manipulate the dark matter around each one of them to squish them. The heavily armored enemies by the elevator are the priority if I can't hit all the enemies. Stay in cover. Use the feed from Vision's drone for taegetting if we have shared feeds.

Well, I guess I'll just assume the action result from last turn has been fixed even though you didn't acknoledge the change or state the result.
Fire upon the armored threats.
More than once.
While Eye2 zips on in and gathers targeting data for the area beyond the elevator entry whilst performing evasive manuvers.

Fire at Will.

6+2 v 3

The very second the opened enough for the Starknights to become visible, The Unitarian Personnel knew something was amiss and had begun reaching for their rifles.

They were too late, however. Guwat was the first to act, sending a horizontal "slash" of dark matter at the enemy forces.

2 v 1 , 3 , 6+1

1+2

The first Marine, the one on the left, flew backward, slamming into a lower ranked soldier that had been marching, killing the poor sap with a wet thud. shortly thereafter, a fragmentation grenade mag-linked to his armor failed to disarm itself safely and detonated from the trauma of the psionic blow.

Strangely, the toll of the psionic drain hasn't taken it's toll yet.

The other two marines managed to brace themselves, the center of the trio Marines, in particular, had managed to draw his weapon, while the other was knocked to the side from the explosion of the grenade.

6v2

A stream of Phazon Plasma bolts slams onto the center marines plate armor, mostly withering off, but it seems that some have managed to damage his left arm.

v 5

The Rightmost marine's arm is given a fist sized hole, while his lower body is perforated as two of the three Linear rifle bolts had slammed into the marine. Surprisingly, the one that lodged into it's lower body had simply lodged in rather than going straight through.

A brief rush of air is heard as some atmosphere escapes before emergency shielding kicks in.

Eye2...

5-1

Zips out of the elevator, taking a sharp left and hurtling through the halls while its scanners take an in-depth scan of the entire contents of the hallway.

There is over forty personnel in the hallway, twenty-seven of which, are marine personnel. This does not include the twenty-three hostile personnel immediately in front of the elevator.

Thunderbolt has completely cooled down, just in time for the doors to open, rather than taking fire at the three heavy set marines right in front, pulls the snubnosed rifle and fires shots behind them towards the marine forces that are still in shock from the sudden gunfight.

2+3+1

An ashy burning smell begins to fill the hall as five separate soldiers are struck with Phazon rounds, with flesh burning as sinew snaps apart.Four of the soldiers are killed immediately, while one lets out a scream that slowly drones out over the next round as they presumably lose consciousness.

Frunk wakes up from his premature nap and lets out a snapshot with his Phazon rifle. the fusion chamber of the rifle is getting dim, you will need to reload soon.

Spoiler: Frunk Fires... (click to show/hide)

2+3-1 v 3

the center most marine gets hit with another stream of Phazon rounds, but no penetration.

The last Unitarian Marine left standing begins preparing himself as his rifle begins to roar.

The soldiers behind him appear to be hardening up, and getting ready to open fire back on the elevator, it will probably take two or so rounds for them to get to shape unless more explosions occur.

The rest of the hallway is confused and disorganized.

[Beirus]

((I'm sure I'll regret this when the psionic strain catches up with me, but where's my +3? Should be two dead powersuits.))

[crazyabe]

Toss a 'nade Around the corner, and have the Elevator CLOSE and MOVE AWAY FAST.

[Blood_Librarian]

(( @Beirus aaah, Woops! sorry for that, I'll edit it. The power-suited marines are a bit tougher than the vast majority of most forces.))

((@Crazyabe, just tossing the grenade so it's not in direct view of the elevator is fine enough for avoiding damage.
