[6] You gain control of your weapon and fire point blank into the bug. You rounds find their way into its vulnerable nerve stem and it dies in convulsive throes... your groin is severed as it thrashes about, but you break free from the impalement.
Death rolls:
[1] Several angry bugs storm their way to face Suhrat "Fuze", and proceed to tear him limb from limb.
[2] Yoink's bug impales him with a second claw through the stomach. He is now double the impaled. Also, post with your sheet.
Leodany is already dead.
[3] A bunch of bugs attempt to rush Private Dick Kickem, but he hides behind a bunch of angry female soldiers. They tear into the women.
[4] Faust keeps the bug he tackled in a pin while the other bugs surge around him. Well at least he manages to avoid the mandibles and claws of the bug under him.
[5] Jager II is spared as the nearby bugs focus on someone-elseTM
[3] Pole Ostrich's droppod is grazed by bug plasma, prematurely depriving it of its atmospheric heat shields. Pole begins to cook in his own pod. It is now getting HOT! (1/3)

[2] Meanwhile, other units all over Klendethu are having a hard time. They are mostly getting slaughtered.
