Minnow stays in her armored wetsuit, and doesn't change, just readies her pistols, puts her glasses back on.

She looks at Hellion with a frown when he mentions Atlantis and childhood tales, then suppresses a laugh when she realizes that he's not millenia-old talking about his lost childhood home.  I've seen some pretty messed up things in my years, but thank goodness I don't have to add living, breathing Atlanteans to that list.... yet.

Crab that likes to eat electricity.  Now, that doesn't sound friendly.  Maybe like that ol' E.T. movie we should leave a trail of watch batteries on the floor for it to nibble.  However... "If it put that hole in the hull to get at the engine power, it's goin ta be a bitch.  If you put a lure above-deck, it might eat a hole through everything between ta get there."

[Xzylvador]

"Better have a hole up than a hole down, no? If things in engine room go boom, hole will be much more problems.", Wagner replies, scratching his beard and looking rather cynical at the mention of children's stories and fantasy lands."I save mines put on landing pad and bring more myself. We set trap, wait for crab and we have good lunch!"
Wagner doesn't really know, or care, about mythological stuff. He knows what Atlantis is from being mentioned in some Sci-Fi trids, but he likes to think he knows the difference between fact and fiction... sometimes.

[The Big Peat]

"Maybe a solution without holes at all?" Crow suggests when Wagner proposes mining the top of the ship. He's seen explosives go wrong too often. "How fast do these things move after all? Maybe we can literally just dangle the battery in front of it, then walk backwards quickly and lead it out here."

[crisses]

Minnow eyes Crow up and down.  Great, Mr. 'Tude, she thinks, if it's faster than you are, maybe it will think your cyberware is a side dish?  But why mention that? Let God -- or some freaky crab -- sort 'im out.  Guess I'm lucky not to be a good candidate to play lure.  So which of these guys is most likely candidate for Most Pumped Jock of the Year?  My pounds on Squid: he'll probably run down there before we come to an agreement on it.

Minnow thinks through ships plans, to see if there's any good space below deck to sort this creepything out.

Ships Plans knowledge skill:  Good place for an ambush on the ship. (7d6.hits(5)=2)

As you talk you hear the engine finally fail the engine grinds to a halt. All of you think of a comment similar to "Awwww Drek". From within the engine room you hear a mechanical howl similar to feedback from a microphone. "Everyone back up get to the DECK NOW!" Samuel yells as he back peddles toward the stairs. The team hauls arse up the stairs and narrow corridors from behind there is the sound of tortured metal as the engine room door is hit repeatably. Not long you find yourself on the ship decking running toward the landing pad.  A glance back shows you the crab bursting through the deck hatch.


Right combat now, who's doing what?

Also Combat for this campaign is going to be cinematographic style, it's in the book mean's your hits are at 4,5,6 but only in combat times.

[Xzylvador]

Running towards the deck, Wagner shouted to his drones through his commlink while his cyberarm reached for the large revolver in its holster. "Klaudia, start engine and prepare for take-off! Katya, run to deck and stay clear of monster!"

[Crash_00]

Squid snaps his line with his forearm blade and tries to grab his crossbow as he sprints for the deck. As he's sprinting full speed he tries to switch out the injection bolt muttering, explosive or shock, explosive or shock, explosive or shock, as he clears the stairwell he finally makes a decision and rams the explosive bolt into the crossbow.

Sliding onto the landing pad, he takes aim at the deck hatch, trying to keep his aim from crossing through friendlies. As the crab comes bursting out he lets loose the bolt, relatively undisturbed by the sheer suddenness with which it managed to burst through the hatch.



Reaction to grab Crossbow: 7d6.hits(5)=3
Sprinting Roll: 14d6.hits(5)=5
Surprise Check: 13d6.hits(5)=6
Initiative (15):10d6.hits(4)=5
Crossbow Attack: 13d6.hits(4)=5

[SeriousOne338]

As the crew breaks out from corridor and out onto the deck, Wagner's air supply lifts off leaving a wide swath of open space. Klaudia will leave, be careful. Squid moving quickly drawls and fires his crossbow, in a stroke of luck it catches the crab mid-leap out of the hatch smashing it into the tower side.  A nano second later the crab bounds back up and grabs the bolt sticking out of it's shell right before the arrow's head explodes blowing off its left claw arm and cracking the carapace. Then is orientates on the group, pausing like taking stock. Without a pause Wagners revolver barks two times, hitting it twice round knocking the crab back a bit cracking the carapace even more. From the hole where the claw was a thick orange-gold liquid starts dripping.  With all that kind of damage usually it'd knock a person out of the fight and into the ER at best. But the damn thing gets back up and starts to move again, but obviously slowed by the damage done.


sorry Crash, I'm rolling your shots. I figure your going to use your Warhawk:
Shot 1: 13d6.hits(4)=9 (Dear god that is good shot)
Shot 2: 13d6.hits(4)=7

[vinnmun]

Hellion perks up when he hears the captain runs over to the deck. He quickly notices the crab scurrying up and a crossbow bolt going for it. Hellion says a clue words tohimself in garlic and places his right palm toward as he casts a force 3 improved reflexes and has his focus item sustain it. Gets rdy for whatever.
Initiative: 8 + 2 from improved reflexes (10d6.hits(5)=3) 
Buying my hits for threshold 3 resist improved reflexes.  Buying hits for the drain aswell.
13 with 3 total passes

[crisses]

Minnow scrambles and gets her butt on-deck, using her attention coprocessor to find a good place to stay the heck out of the way.  She sees Squid with a crossbow aimed at the hatch and rolls to stay out of the way of his line of fire.

Gymn. dodge if needed (ranged). (7d6.hits(5)=2) 3 hits with threshold 4.


Then Minnow rolls onto one knee, facing the hatch, draws her Predator, and starts taking aim for the leaky claw hole.  She's not first line of defense, so she's holding her shot until she's clear to fire.

-1 on range mods (hawkeye), +2 smartlink glasses,  regular ammo, taking aim (figure 2 simple actions -- waiting until my next combat turn, calling the shot for a -2, so they negate each other but I get +2DV if I'm right...)

Init for next round. (8d6.hits(5)=3) -- thats 11.
Predator, aimed shot at crab leg hole... (12d6.hits(5)=7)

Have to leave that up to the GM....  Didn't even know I had 7 successes in me

[The Big Peat]

Crow had already been moving back when he hears the Captain shout for people to move it. He's puffing a little as he emerges topside, picking out a crate to offer an elevated firing platform as he decides to stop fucking around and just kill it. When it arrives, he simply snap aims, then fires, drilling off two bursts at the creature.


Init (10d6.hits(4)=3) - 13 total
Aim (free action using Krav Maga) - using Ex-ex ammo, so 7 DV - 2 to armour before any damage for bursts/excess hits is added on
Simple Action 1
Long narrow burst (18d6.hits(4)=8)
Simple Action 2
Short narrow burst (18d6.hits(4)=7)

[SeriousOne338]

     In  blur of speed the crab scuttles forward its one claw out seeking Wagner's throat  but before it can get there Crow lets loose with controls automatic fire. The rounds exploding against the shell and shattering the rear portion of carapace. Right at that moment Minnow predator barks once sending a round through the gap in the crabs armor, dropping it to the deck. This time the crab's shell leaks color and goes from a bright copper-gold to a dull bronze. "By the Gods what the hell was that thing," Samuel says as he approaches his rifle at the ready.

[Crash_00]

Squid steps up to the crab and prods it with his harpoon, looking at the armor and meat of the thing, Tomorrow's Rations, he asks with a tusked grin.

[The Big Peat]

Crow doesn't move, but rather continues to cover it just in case.

[crisses]

Minnow keeps her aim on the thing.  She knows nothing about these creatures, and no one is hurt, so she's going to make sure it stays that way in case it twitches back to life.  Seen one too many horror flick.
