Ha, if only. They're not Spathi. 
Luki, could you describe the properties of those limpets? Specifically, how they would react to being pierced by an explosive. I have a dastardly plan.

Intense hatred of the ugly humans might make them better fighters, not worse.

Limpets aren't large enough to block your vision, but large enough to provide substantial cover. I hadn't considered that you might want to break them. But okay, sure. You can pierce a limpet by scoring two hits on it with a physical weapon (no psychic powers). When this happens, the floor space it occupied and every adjacent tile becomes "Sticky". This means that moving one such tile consumes two AP, just liek moving through smoke. Any unit present on a tile that turns sticky is buried in goo and becomes immobile for one turn.
As the M:bot can elect to fire through enemy players at wil, unlike other units, I suppose it can fire past limpets as well with it's superior aiming system.

I think I'll stay wiwth the name as is.
A thought for the future - if we push the table at the bottom of the room across the puddle of goo, will we be able to cross it without loss of time, or the deed itself will consume more time?

I think using the power now is way premature.
One VUX is down, other is tied in mellee with me, Drmnmaxas and Wajangtoey can deal with third one despite our dice rolls (I hope). The runner will either stay covered behind limpet or will dash forward and stay exposed - not enough mov points to take cover behind next pod, leaving Waja to chase him down while covered by M-bot's fire. If I understand correctly, M-bot will not cause friendly fire.
I think you can fire at VUX NE of you with pea-shooter to aid clear the way. The rules state attacking is in straight lines, but from illustration I understand it is hand-to-hand, not ranged weapons.

I have no AP left. I will wait until the end of the turn before I even start discussing what to do

It can and will, if you're unlucky. The only difference is that it can shoot past closer enemies.

It seems like he probably could, since he has line of sight, but best to get Luki's call on that.
Since it seems I can fire directly at the VUX, I'll take that shot first, using 1 AP. Depending on the results, I'll decide where to place my second shot (or if it somehow kills him, maybe even melee).

Ah hell. What would it take for me to climb on top of that limpet next to me?
