Let's close the door as meep said! And someone could use a medikit on me to give those 2 so much needed HP-_-
So I'll just close the door, everybody else skips, Luki plays the opponents turn, never surprised wears off, I open the door again...unless they charge outside that is. Hm?

We're just letting them get into a better strategic position and wasting time we don't have. Also, the Umgah might eat the disk so we fail our mission, because that would be the funniest joke of all.
Let's just kill them, please?

I don't think you can use a medikit on someone else.
Given the time constraints, I'm for Draxas' second proposal, but if the commander dies by Sukuzu's hands alone, Bach should move E N N and pick up the data device (if that is possible), and Wubula should then move W, N, E, fire slayer N.
I don't think we should worry about grenades, as the damage per player should be little, judging by our past experiences. The collective HP loss may be significant, but as long as we survive, that doesn't matter any more.
Also, we should shout "Hands up or die" while we perform our turn. If nothing else, it might distract the Umgah while he/she/it(/they) jokes about it.
And the next person who isn't waiting for anyone else to move first, should just take action, instead of (only) discussing further (but keeping in mind that Wawa needs a clear centre line).

Ok, let all hell brakes loose:
IC: As if the time and space themselves were tumbling down behind him Sukuzu leaps and darts through the room N, W faster than a Spathi running for cover. Standing up against yet another Androsynth elite soldier he unleashes his claws one more time with a relish expression on his face. The end is nigh flashes through his mind. And then he attacks (use paws of fury N).
A moment before he lands his blow deep into the sarges chest he screams:
"This is it my friends, attack! May Daikon be with us!
KYAIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!"

*Smacks forehead*
Wawa switched to his Paingiver outside the room. Why, I'll never know.
Thus, second proposal actually yields 1 less strike than the first, and 2 less than it was supposed to. So, I'm going to just roll with the first proposal after all. Wawa should move E and switch back to the Staff after everyone else has gone so he can be an effective attacker!
Bach steps into the doorway behind the crazed Shofixti and levels his rifle at the Umgah, who is still inexplicably laughing even as the carnage begins.
"Die, abomination!" he yells with fervor, as his rifle barks to life, spraying the area with deadly fire.
Move E, fire at Umgah X 2

Just as Wawa moves forward, prepared to strike, a deafening boom echoes through the temple. The Hierarchy systems have finally realised that the Asteroid was something else, and taken steps to prevent the intruders from escaping.
".... and the sound and data recording ends there sir. Once Hierarchy defense systems destroyed the disguised shuttle, our comlink was destroyed. While it was active it transmitted sound and radio chatter, so we've been able to piece together the mission up to then pretty well. But after that, we know nothing more of what transpired on the planet"
The Corridor 9 Commander looks tired. Sitting at his desk he has heard many similar reports before, tales of strike teams lost in action. Every loss of a soldier gnaws at his heart, adding another name to the list he recites every night. Hoping against hope, he asks his subcommander:
"Is there any chance that they survived? Any chance at all?"
Subcommander Gordon looks bothered. He knows how heavily the old man takes losses, but things don't look good. The escape shuttle was destroyed, and their team was stranded deep within Hierarchy space. That's a recipe for instant death if one is lucky. Still, there is one last thing about the incident he hasn't reported yet. Perhaps it will give the Commander enough hope to let him rest tonight.
"Well sir, our long range scouts detected some odd energy readings in the system a few days later. From what we've deciphered, it looks like a weapons fire was exchanged between several ships. Many of them warped into Hyperspace shortly after. It may be totally unrelated of course, since the Ilwrath have been fighting a very low level civil war since the loss of a High Priest anyhow. The Ur-Quan are certain to step in and stomp it out soon. But we haven't observed that many ships involved in a single inter-Ilwrath battle anywhere else"
The Commander lets out a sigh of relief. The fate of his soldiers still weighs heavily on him, but at least now there is a tiny sliver of hope.
"So they may still be alive. It's unlikely, but they were an able team despite their differences. Put their files in the MIA folder for now and tell our scouts to look out for Hierarchy ships transmitting our codes. If they are out there they'll make it back sooner or later."
OOC: Aand that's a wrap boys and girls. My vacation has officially begun, and I'm blowing this joint for a week or so. Once I'm back I'll post some bonus extras and lock the thread. Meanwhile, feel free to give feedback, preferably over in the SC:BEL thread. I'm especially interested in any constructive criticism. I've learnt a lot for next mission, but your opinions are welcome. This goes for people who haven't been playing as well of course.

And some end this is! Props!
I guess a farewell is in order: so long Sukuzu, I hope you will find your way home regardless of your opinion which side of the world is east and which one is west  It was a nice run.
And of course have a great vacation Lukipela, you've earned it

I would have liked to see it through to the end, but alas. It's been a pretty sweet run, and a good learning experience.
If all players could do me a huge favor: Some of you have already commented on how to improve the mechanics over in the main thread. If all of you could weigh in, that would only help the development process for next time. I've already worked up some more interesting rules for burning things thanks to the events of this game, and I would like to hear if there are any other aspects you feel could be added or improved (I'm considering looking into the surprise mechanics thanks to the comments already there).
