Climbing to his feet, Manus shakes this head, trying to clear it before scrambling into the doorway and laying flat against the wall to see the attacking droids, a frag grenade in hand.
" I don't like that droid so close to my men."
He arms and hurls an Ion grenade at D2.
+Dex +Long Range Penalty
Rolin tries to flatten himself against the wall while aiming at the droid next to the burnt out hull of the speeder. Unfortunately his shot goes wide to the left of the droid.
Iggins takes careful aim at the crab droid near the generator but the red energy seems to bounce of its armour leaving barely a scorch on it.
Manus stands up from being spun forward by the speeder and heads for the doors trying to clear his head.
Ianthé Moves up to the wall and announces her arrival over the comms.
Cpt Jenkins hurls a grenade and is happily surprised as it sails toward his intended target and land directly at the droids feat. The ion energy washes over the droid and sparks of electricity run up and down its frame! It's movements become jerky and it's head twitches every couple of seconds.
"Sir, we have more droids. Big droids." Iggins calmly tells his Captain.
standing up, calahan braces himself and sends a volley at the big droid walker in the corner.
Updated <MAP>
Calahan braces his rifle and sends a wall of laser at the crab droid which staggers back slightly with several new holes burnt through its armour.
D3 fires on Nalis
Nalis' Body drops to the ground a smoking twisted mess.
D2 Tries to get its convulsing body under control and fires its rifle at Calahan
The burst of fire flies over Calahans head
D4 marches forward and sprays Manus and Rolins area with autofire
The Crab droid in the corner rights itself after Calahans barrage and fires straight back with its repeater.
The red bolts seem to find Calahan even though hes behind cover.
The other Crab droid swivels around and reloading its missile launcher fires at Iggins and Jenkins.
The missile arcs up and slams down on the top of your building duracrete chunks and shrapnel fly everywhere pinging off your armour and digging into skin.
Dmg Taken:
D2: 19 (-2 condition)
Crab Droid right: 13
"Iggins, are you okay? Take that frakkin' droid down!"
He begins to clear some of the ruble from himself, looking to see that their exit is still clear.
HP: 65/72
looking down at the hole punched into the speeder wreckage, Calahan's gaze follows to his own body, and sees a hole in his abdomen armor, and a minor trickle of blood running from it. well, whistle me pink He grunts.
Looking back up at the crab droid, Calahan returns fire
If hit
Grunting as a couple of blaster bolts graze him, scorching his armor and giving him a few small burns, Manus takes a deep breath, steps up, and lobs his grenade towards the droid that shot at him.
Iggins shakes his head to clear the dust from his eyes and scope. "Still here, Captain. Recommencing fire."
He aims and fires at the Crab Droid that fired the missile.

"Dear gods - Nalis!"
[ooc]Sorry, I missed the Ianthé Moves up to the wall AI1 and announces her arrival over the comms.
Responding to Ianthe of the commlink,
"Who is this? Report your Commanding Officer and your serial number.
We sure could use a Friendly to help out here."
Muttering curses to himself Rolin dashes to the cover next to Calahan and grabs Nalis, checking his vitals he shouts a loud curse and drops his prone form. "Nalis is KIA, I repeat Nalis is KIA. Frakking droids!" he screams out the last in frustration, hunkered down in the cover next to Calahan.
Jenkins checks on Iggins as the duracrete dust settles. Giving the order to take out the crab droid.
Calahan trades red laser with the big droid in the corner. Putting a few more holes in its armour.
Manus hurls a frag at the feet of D4, the shrapnel rips through its legs not hitting anything particularly important. The shrapnel reaches the other droid in the square it rips through the back of its chest plate and the droid collapses to the ground.
Iggins tries to clear the dust off his rifle and takes two shots at the Crab droid next to the generator. The first goes wide the second hits it's hull harmlessly.
Ianthé unsure if her transmissions are getting through moves up carefully behind Manus. Not wanting to startle him she tries to log into the droid network of the building. Establishing the connection is all to easy but the droid brain of the computer instantly starts working against her trying to shut the connection down.
Jenkins sees the smoking body of Nalis and exclaims... He then realises that he forgot to reply to Ianthé. Asking for her ID and her CO's name which she promptly supplies.
Doc moves forward and ducks down behind the burnt out hull of the speeder. He grabs Nalis to check for signs of life. It doesnt look good bits of plasteel armour have melted into his skin which is blacked and blistered. Taking his helmet off his eyes stare up at Rolin lifelesly there's no hint of a pulse.
D4 Fires a tight burst at Manus
The burst of red bolts flies past Manus on his left missing entirely.
D3 fires at Calahan and Rolin behind the speeder
A few bolts from the barrage get past the speeder hull and find gaps in your armour.
The crab like droid near the generator spins up it's repeating blaster the barrels spin around spitting out laser bolts aimed at Jenkins and Iggins.
The laser fire is low however and hits the side of the building throwing up yet more dust.
The crab droid in the corner sprays the Calahans position with another round of autofire.
The Hull of the spedder takes the brunt of the bolts and none hit Calahan or Rolin.
Dmg Taken:
D2: destroyed
D4: 4
Crab Droid right: 17
Ducking his head as the blaster bolts zip by Rolin tosses Nalis's helmet aside and sneaks a peek from behind his cover eyeing the offending droids with scorn. Hunkering back down he takes a deep breath, drawing his focus from the various burns and bruises lining his body, and pulls out a frag grenade, priming it and tossing it over the speeder toward one of the droids accosting them.
"Sir, I am having no effect on the crabs. I'll take out the smaller droids instead." Iggins aims at D-4 instead.
Attack:
Damage:
Rolin tosses his grenade over the speeder hull towards a droid. It goes off with a booing, shrapnel ripping through the droids abdomen.
Iggins lines up the same droid in his sights aiming carefully he fries the droids synthetic brain with laser. The droid stands stationary arms flopping limp at its sides mangled head lolling about.
Dmg Taken:
D2: destroyed
D4: destroyed
Crab Droid right: 17
Hearing Rolin curse and grumble, Calahan reaches down and pats him on the shoulder in a comforting way. Save it for later, rolin. Queueing the mic as he aims at D4, he radios to Jenkins Ive said it once, and ill say it again...this would be sooooo easyif we had a missile launcher.
Jenkins speaks to this new voice through his commlink, adjusting the channels so that the entire team can hear.
"Quallis is dead?! Okay, soldier. What's your name? And where are you?
"We could surely use all the help we can get. What's your speciality?"
"Rolin, take anything explosive from Nalis if you can. No point leaving that for the rebels. I'm sure we can arrange to recover his body when the area is secure and the mission complete."
"Iggins, I'll see if I can fry a crab with this last ion grenade."
Attacking the Left Crab, because I can't see the right one.
+BAB, +Dex, -range penalty.
Ion Damage
To Ianthe Jack again:
"Found a leak? How long do you think?"
@Calahan. Looks like a simple touch panel to open an auto sliding door.
Calahan aims at D4 but he notices that the droid is disabled and quickly switches targets to D3 sending a hail of blaster fire at the droid which is hit badly and begins to twitch.
Ianthé deftly avoids the droid computers defences and secures the connection over the holonet. Though the computer still blocks her from accessing program's and issueing commands. She's sure that with a little more work she could take control and order the droids to stand down.
Jenkins throws another Ion grenade down into the fray it doesn't quite make the distance and the ion energy only barely reaches the droid. The blue ion energy also washes over the smaller droid near the crab droid.
Dmg Taken:
D2: destroyed
D3: 14 (-1 condition)

"Yep, Calahan was right; we should have a rocket launcher for this." Taking the time to line up the shot, Manus fires away at the damaged combat droid
"Copy." Rolin responds to Jenkins over the com. "Right after they stop trying to kill us." he mutters with the mic off. Looking over the cover he takes stock of the remaining droids and pulling out a second frag grenade he hurls it at the platform by the far wall.
"You've got my vote for that missile launcher Calahan." he jibes when he ducks back into cover.
screw this. Manus, Rolin, listen up. Grab a frag grenade and chuck it at the crab droid on the right. Let's blow it to smitherines.
Suiting his command, Calahan pulls out a frag grenade and chucks it at the droid.
Manus fires his rifle at the smaller combat droid but the bolt flies past as the droid ducks down.
The battle droid braces it's large rifle and sprays a burst at Manus.
The burst of blaster rounds hit the wall next to Manus making tiny flaming craters in the duracrete.
The Crab droid near the generator sprays fire at Jenkins and Iggins building with blaster fire
The bolts hit the wall below them and stitch their way up, a few hit Iggins but as Jenkins surveys the area he's hit all over by the red energy!
The other large droid in the corner fires its massive repeater at Rolin and Calahan while scuttling forward towards their position.
The bolts punch into, through, and over the hull of the speeder but none hit Rolin or Calahan.
Rolin throws a grenade at the big droid in the corner.
Calahan does the same suggesting that the team focus on the big droid. The two grenades go off right underneath the thing rocking it slightly as the shrapnel pings off it's armour.
Dmg Taken:
D3: 14 (-1 condition)

@Calahan: The small building attached to the generator is made of dull grey duracrete, the door looks like its made of durasteel and is painted a darker shade of grey. A small touch panel is set in the wall next to the door with red and green lights directly beneath the panel, currently the red light is lit.
Iggins aims at D3 and unleashes his blast!
Attack:
Damage:
Muttering to himself about "frakking droids" Manus keeps his head down while pulling out a couple of blocks of plastic explosives and binding them together with some mesh tape before popping in a detonator and securing it with more mesh tape. Hefting it he gets ready to toss it in.
At hearing ianthe's comment calahan mics to her Well, if you would stop lolly gagging figuring out what purse matches your blaster, and take control of these droids, I wouldn't have to shoot them up. he gripes, the droids blaster fire driving the point home.
With a puff of breeze clearing most of the dust cloud, Jenkins begins his ordering about of his crew, directing them to work together in the most beneficial way.
Swift action.
"Take them out, Iggins. All of them."
Trust Talent to Iggins. Standard Action.
Iggins takes a bead on the smaller droid attempting to take it out. the red energy lances down at the droid just barely missing.
Ianthé Slices through the last of the droid networks security. The systems brain recognises her as an unregistered but authorised user, the computers programs are laid out before her to view but it still won't allow her to change the current orders.
Gil ducks down carefully pulling out a couple of blocks of detonite and setting them together with a detonator.
Jenkins points out weaknesses in the droids defences and gives orders to exploit them. He then orders Iggins to take another shot.
The small battle droid sprays Calahan and Rolin with Autofire
Red energy flashes past as the two soldiers stay behind the relative safety of the speeder hull.
The crab droid near the generator continues to spray Iggins and Jenkins position with autofire
Several bolts hit both of them but the damage isn't bad.
The other crab droid moves closer again and fires its repeater at Calahan and Rolin as it goes.
The speeder hull again takes the brunt of the assault.

"Dammit! Rolin hollers as the blast blots rain down around them. "Take out the frakkin' droids already! with a shout he pops out of cover and takes a snap shot at the approaching crab droid before hunkering back down.
"Well, here goes nothing," Manus says with a swallows as he hefts the explosive package and then darts out of cover, heading towards the mostly uninjured crab droid, and hurling the paired blocks of detonite underhanded at it, blowing it once it is near the feet of the droid.
laughing out loud at ianthe's comment, Calahan mics back gotta have the right tool for the right job. and my tool is the right size for your job
taking aim at the right droid, Calahan unloads another fusillade.
damage
Jenkins moves to take cover and says over the commlink,
"Enough of the chatter Calahan - just do what you're best at. That's an order."
Trust Talent - standard action to Calahan.
Iggins Snaps off another shot at the last battle droid, the shot is a one in a million as he regains some focus in the chaos of the combat, the red energy enters through the droids neck joint snapping its head off and passing through its torso turning its insides into slag before passing out its abdomen. The droid crumbles to the pavement.
Rolin pops up from behind his cover and snaps a shot at the crab droid but his blaster fire just bounces off the droids heavy steel plating.
Manus finishes his makeshift grenade and lines up the droid near the generator putting everything he has into the throw, he lobs it at the droid watching the explosive as it slides along the ground. Thumb on the detonator Manus watches as the explosive bounces up of some debrie rising through the air under the droids belly... 'click'... BOOM! The armour plating under the droid twists and buckles from the force of the explosion ripping into the droids vital systems.
Ianthé flicks off the order to shut down the shield generator, before pulling up a list of registered uses from the computers memory. She runs them through a program on her datapad that fishes out the highest ranking registered user. Then pushes that users pass back on the computer. The computer opens its program's to her control. The shields begin the power down sequence.
Calahan laughs at the back and forth on the comms, while filling the space between himself and the approaching crab droid with a wall of red energy that lashes against the droids armour punching through here and there.
Jenkins not amused by the chatter orders Calahan to focus and keep up his attack.
Dmg Taken:
D3: destroyed
Crab Droid right: 43
Crab Droid left: 31 (-1 Condition)
Iggins shifts his attention to the crab droid nearest the shield generator and lines up his shot. He focuses on his target, narrowing his world to a pinprick. He waits, holding his breath and shooting between his heartbeats.
