With the trap deactivated, Mustachio strolls forward back the group. "Ok, that went well. Next time, I'll try my hand at deactivating the traps. I am practically an expert after all. I was Assistant to the Assistant Boom Operator in 'Hacked & Out of Control'. I was up close and personal with many a boom. Explosions, to those who aren't in the field."
The passageway to the north appears to head deeper into the mine. The artificial lighting in the passage gives off a low glow, illuminating tracks covered in a thick layer of dust, which show little indication of any recent disturbance.
By contrast, the tracks in the passage heading toward the southwest are fairly clear of debris, suggesting more recent--and frequent--use.
From your current position, no sounds can be heard coming from either passage.
The Android continues to move down the hall, hugging close to the left side to keep his field of vision unobstructed.
The probability of an encounter resulting in violence is quiet high.
Rifle up and at the ready, he remains alert with his guard up.

The passage heads west and then turns north into another room. The ceiling is higher than other chambers, cut to fifteen feet in height. Permanent light fixtures set in the ceiling provide brighter light. The minecart tracks that have run throughout this mine hug the south wall, turn north, and run along the west wall as far as you can see.

"Nothing this way... let's try the other one."
Obozaya moves forward, hugging the wall. She takes a position near the corner.She takes aim with her reaction cannon, ready to shoot at anything hostile that might emerge from the tunnel.
Readied Action:
As soon as someone hostile comes around the corner, Obozaya shouts:
As Astrator rounds the corner of the tunnel, the android views three miners peering back.
One of the miners (blue) cries out, “Talbot! Youze wuz right! Somebuddy done come pokin’ round in here! “ He draws his pistol, as does another (yellow). Each takes up a defensive positions and fires at the android.
Ranged (tactical semi-auto pistol)(yellow) v. Astrator KAC:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 Damage (P):1d6 ⇒ 5 Ranged (tactical semi-auto pistol)(blue) v. Astrator KAC:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 Damage (P):1d6 ⇒ 2
The first shot tears into the android's armor. The second is absorbed by it.
A third (green), lets out an angry cry, pulls out a club and races toward the android—swinging!
Melee (club) v. Astrator's KAC:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 Damage (B):1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
As the miner runs forward, projectiles fly from Obozaya’s reaction canon and pound into the ceiling.
The miner's club also connects with the android's armor, but is easily deflected by it.
Suddenly, Astrator clear sees, as does Obozaya (although her view is much more obscured), a man with long, raven-colored hair matching the description of Reynald Talbot making a dash for the mining cart atop the tracks in the room. The man deftly hops over the edge of the high-cart and ducks down within it.
Double move
Talbot Acrobatics check:
Unnecessary for Talbot--but required for others--per scenario as written
The mining cart looks fully functional and the cart tracks that serpent through this room, unlike those observed in the two passages that go deeper into the mine, appear largely clear of dust and debris--indicative of recent use.
Any creature inside the mine cart receives partial cover from attacks originating outside of the cart.
Seeing a hulking vesk coming towards him, one of the miners (blue) remains behind the protection afforded by the rock wall and fires on Obozaya.
Ranged attack (tactical semi-auto pistol) v. Obozaya KAC:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 Damage (semi-auto pistol)(P):1d6 ⇒ 6
The shot hits the vesk for maximum effect!
Another miner (yellow) keeps his cover behind the mine cart. Reluctant to fire as his dazed companion (green) is in the way, he nevertheless fires at Astrator.
Ranged attack (tactical semi-auto pistol) v. Astrator KAC with soft cover:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 Damage (semi-auto pistol)(P):1d6 ⇒ 5
His shot misses.
The dazed miner (green) can take no action this turn as his brain remains short-circuited by the spell.
He peaks his head around to get sight of the cretin running away and in a very persusive voice calls out to him
Approach
casting command DC 14 Will
To cast the spell on the man in the cart, Donavaan must be able to see or touch the man to target him. (See "Targets" CRB pg. 334). This would require Donavaan to also take a move action. As the green miner is dazed, Donavaan could move past him without provoking an AoO.
Otherwise, the only enemy target of the spell would be the green miner, who again is dazed until the end of Astrator's turn.
The dazed manner (green) drops down dead, never knowing what hit him.
In that case, will move/bot Donavaan forward to see the man in the cart as he could delay until after Mustachio anyways and I want to keep things moving as we approach the boon deadline.
Will save (DC 14):1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Hearing Donavaan's magical command, the man in the cart--who matches Talbot's description--activates the cart. Move action
The cart begins moving towards Donavaan along the tracks--a span of 30 feet. Move action

GM: Would it be possible for Obozaya to grab the edge of the cart and tip it over on its side?
The scenario doesn't contemplate this, but I would say: Yes, you can grab the edge of the cart to slow it down/stop it. Doing so requires an Athletics check (DC 13) as a standard action to grab it and then a successful Strength check (DC 18) as a move action to push and keep the cart from moving forward. Other PCs may aid in this action. For every 5 that you exceed the DC, you can push the cart backwards 5 feet. Failure by less than 5 means the PC fails to stop the cart, while failing by 5 or more means the would-be stopper falls prone next to the cart.
Due to its size, weight, and stability provided by the tracks, I am ruling that you cannot simply tip the cart over on its side.
Peet wrote:
GM: Or how about jump in with Talbot?
Yes. A PC can board or disembark from the cart while it is in motion with a successful DC 15 Acrobatics or Athletics check. Failure by less than 5 means the PC fails to board the cart, while failing by 5 or more means the would-be boarder falls prone next to the cart. Up to three Medium creatures can stand in the cart together.
The mine cart is fully functional and has a set of controls on the top rim.
The cart can be activated as a move action. Once active, the cart moves 30 feet along the tracks on the floor of the mine. A creature inside the mine cart receives partial cover from attacks originating outside of the cart. A creature in the way of a moving mine cart takes 4d4 bludgeoning damage (DC 12 Reflex save negates) and is pushed aside by the moving cart.
... but trips on the body of the dead miner and lands on her stomach.
If you have played 1-00 Claim to Salvation, then you should have a slotless boon that can be used during any scenario where you play a pregen, which allows you to reroll a single d20 check. If you have played that scenario, you could use that boon now. Just sayin'...

I did play 1-00 Claim to Salvation! I didn't think about it because that Chronicle Sheet is assigned to a character. So let's do that!
Reroll Athletics:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Obozaya reels for a moment, looking like she is about to trip... but then recovers! She jumps into the air and into the mine cart with Talbot!
"Hello there," she grins.
Doshko:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5...LOL!
She swings her Doshko high and Talbot ducks under the swing.
As the vesk jumps into the cart with the man, matching Talbot’s description, one of the miners (blue) becomes visibly enraged. “That guy there!", he cries out, pointing at Mustachio. "He just waltzed inta here an' wasted Mitch!"
And, as we all know, a miner is a terrible thing to waste!
"And now that crazy reptile is tryin' to do the same to Talbot!" He turns his laser pistol on the vesk. "Not if I can help it!" Ranged attack (tactical semi-auto pistol) v. Obozaya's KAC with cover:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14Damage (pistol)(P):1d6 ⇒ 1
Another miner (yellow) follows suit and follows the cart, chasing after it, while also trying to a shot off on Obozaya.
Ranged attack (tactical semi-auto pistol) v. Obozaya's KAC with cover:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14Damage (pistol)(P):1d6 ⇒ 6
Neither of the two miners are able to find their mark.
Also, now a number of the Starfinders can see, across from the cart tracks, a small office fashioned from two out-of-place plastic walls set into the stonework. An open door provides access to the room within a room.
Remainder of map is revealed!
REMINDER: This game was advertised as utilizing botting and with a fast post rate to make the Alien Archive boon deadline.
NOTICE: Since we are now less than a week away from that deadline, I will try to stick closely to advertisements for play to ensure completion.
Botting Donovaan as no post within 24 hours of turn beginning.
Donovaan knows that that his Starfinder team has been tasked with obtaining an artifact from a man matching the description of the person attempting to flee in the mine cart. In an attempt to stop the man from fleeing, the mystic casts daze on the man in the mine cart. Standard action
He then moves off the tracks in order to avoid being hit, in the event that spell was not successful in stopping the man from trying to use the cart to flee. Move action
Cart Man, Will save (DC 13):1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Unaffected by the spell, the man in the cart continues with escape efforts. With a vicious-looking vesk now sharing the cart with him, he realizes that he is not likely to get off a shot before the reptilian strikes him, so he drops the pistol he had unholstered on his way to the cart. It clanks down to the floor.
Next, he reaches forward to manipulate the cart's controls to move it cart forward; as he reaches down he pulls a knife from his boot. Move action and sufficient BAB to draw a weapon (does not provoke AoO - CRB pp. 247-248).
Uprighting himself with admirable speed and agility, he swings the blade at the vesk!
Trick attack:1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 2 = 19 Melee (survival knife) v. Obozaya's KAC:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 Damage (survival knife)(S):1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 1d4 ⇒ 3
Although the vesk is not surprised (trick attack unsuccessful), his blade draws blood.
Cart movement with its human and vesk rider updated on Map on Slides
Leaving Talbot to the vesk, Astrator turns his attention to the approaching miners.
For the last time, he reaches out to the area around the enemies and a shimmering, "glitching" energy settles over the miners, coating the ground beneath their feet.
"Give up, this fight is not with you!"
Final spell slot. Grease, DC 15 Reflex or fall prone
Suddenly finding themselves standing in a magically formed slick, one of the miners (blue) quickly finds himself slipping and dropping to the ground. While the other (yellow) maintains his footing, even when a shot from Maxamas grazes off his second skin armor.
The sole standing miner, seeing the vesk continue to threaten the man in the cart, becomes all the more incensed. "We cain't let them there get to Talbot. Not after all he's done for this here town!" He attempts to race across the now slick floor.
Acrobatics to move half speed (DC 10):1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
He makes his way towards the android and mystic and fires off a shot at the vesk.
"Right you are, Jed!", the prone miner (blue) responds as he crawls (Move action =Crawl) toward his standing companion and fires his pistol at a nearby Starfinders 1 Astrator, 2 Donovaan, 3 Maxamas:1d3 ⇒ 1
