HK automatic system targets one of the zombie Red and it shoots it.

Lazer Rifle: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Damages (F): 1d8 ⇒ 8

Arratoi points at the green zombie and says, "Get that shrunken pee soaked hideous web-foooted troll-spawn!"

Move action to put Get 'Em on green

Laser rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 1 = 13

Fire damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Medrick's shot takes a chunk out of the zombie in the green shirt. William drops the one that Lynn hit with her magical missiles.

Arraoti lines up the zomie in green. That shirt isn't having a good day as both he and HK knock holes in it, sending it burning to the ground.

Mr Philt pulls his own pistol and takes a shot at the last zombie in the blue shirt.
attack: 1d20 ⇒ 16
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The two zombies that fell to the ground both explode as their enhancements release all their stored energy.

The last zombie turns and points an arm at Medrick, zapping her with some weapon built into its arm. Presumably the same weapon that just exploded in the other zombies...
who: 1d7 ⇒ 1
attack: 1d20 ⇒ 12
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
It turns away from the window and shuffles toward the Starfinder team.

Will tries to line-up a shot on another zombie!

Trick: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 4 = 21 Vs 20+CR
Membrane Holdout Pistol: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22, for 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (2) + (2) = 4 Fire damage.

"It's nothing but an incompetent lice-ridden rat-eaten warty monkey! Get 'Em!"

Get 'Em placed on blue

Arratoi takes a shot with his rifle!

Laser rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12

Fire damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Seeing 2 of the 3 zombies go down she turns her tracking computer on the last one and takes a shot at it.

Laser Rifle, get 'em, tracking (EAC): 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 13
Fire Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

HK shoots twice at the last zombie.

Lazer Azimuth (vs EAC): 1d20 + 6 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 - 4 + 1 = 20
Damages (F): 1d8 ⇒ 3
Lazer Azimuth (vs EAC): 1d20 + 6 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 - 4 + 1 = 17
Damages (F): 1d8 ⇒ 5

Medrick takes the shot but still is feeling okay. He attempts to shoot the blue looking one now, hoping to end this craziness!

semi-auto pistol (KAC): 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 = 13
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Lynn watches the concentrated fire from her allies down another of the zombies and pumps her fist in victory. She continues to sing, though the song changes tone as she starts to wind it down.

Wow. Didn't think it'd be only two rounds. That's some consistently good rolls.

The final zombie goes down in a hail of laser and pistol fire.

"Well, that didn't seem too hard.." smiles Mr Philt.

These zombies were obviously not as powerful as Sheng!

Plans?

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25.

Will frowns.

"Hang on a sec - there's another two headed this way!"

He then prepares for their arrival.

Mr Philt looks worried. "While individually they do not seem much of a threat, I am concerned about there numbers. We should get in there as fast as we can...Did you find out how many clients Renew-You had?"

Will shrugs.

"No idea. A reasonable number, though, by the looks of things... We have accounted for at least 8 so far (including the two approaching now)..."

Replying to Philt, Arratoi says, "No, I don't believe we came across a client count. Did you figure out how many people disappeared? That's probably about how many clients Renew-You had.

"May I suggest we take the back door? Might help us avoid additional zombies. But let's also be wary of traps. If I were Vrisken and zombies were after me, I'd definitely lay out multiple booby traps..."

Are we aware of the back door to the northwest? If yes, I vote for going that route but if not then we'll have to head to the southeastern front door.

Why not. A backdoor could have shown up on station schematics that you ace hackers have been working with.

Put yourselves where you want to be. The zombies just start to bash at the windows in an ineffective manner as before.

Lynn flicks her mic boom up exultantly, calling out "Nice work everyone!" before Will immediately announces more of them coming. "Really? Jeez, all these poor people! We need to find Vrisky and see if he can stop this all."

"Sounds like a plan Arratoi! Unless there are more zombies back there too." Lynn follows the ysoki to the back entrance.

Can we take a few moments to get my SP back? If that is not reasonable given the zombies around, that is fine.

I think a ten minute rest here would not be appropriate,even these rather slow dumb zombies will break in during that time.

Around the back, the door has a good lock on it. It looks like it would be pretty tough to get open.

Unless you have an engineering skill of at least +10 you have no chance, and after a test or two would realise that.

HK follows, even if its programs make him want to stay and fight the zombies.

With a +8 (+tools) and an aid, is that possible?

Well, I think that taking twenty with an aid-another is pushing it a little. But then I did a quick check and there are at least two folk with +9 to engineering, so they would auto-succeed in aid-another, so why not.

It takes a couple of minutes, during which time you can hear the zombies slowly trying to break through the windows at the front. Still, soon enough there is a click and the door opens.

The walls of this room are covered in metal boards with equidistant spacing for hanging tools. A workbench juts out from the western and northern facings of the area. A cylindrical container, guarded by cage of glowing red lasers, rests along the eastern wall. A large steel door exits to the south, while a smaller door to the north has a single one-way peephole looking out into the alley outside the house.

Will cautiously moves into the room, and attempts to open the southern door.

"That container looks like it might be important. Let's see about bypassing these lasers."

Arratoi attempts to disable the lasers.
Engineering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Medrick closes the door behind us and sees if it is easy to reengage the lock. If so, he does. After the lock has been set, he moves in and gets behind Will, arc pistol drawn just in case.

HK stays at the door, scanning the area for any danger.

Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (9) + 0 = 9

Arratoi disables the lasers while William goes for the door.

Just as the door is opened the lasers flash off. And then all hell breaks loose. A large silvery blob of stuff emerges from the container and launches itself at the group.

Meanwhile, William, peeking through the door, sees a Shirren taking pot shots at the zombie trying the break through the nearby window.

The blob extents a psudopod out toward Arratoi, who nimbly dodges away, just in time.

HK's internal computer locks on the strange blob and it shoots it.

Lazer, Rifle: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 4 = 21
Damages (F): 1d8 ⇒ 2

Clucking in annoyance, Will takes a shot at the Shirren.

Trick: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 4 = 19 Vs DC 20+CR.
Membrane Holdout Pistol: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9, or 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (6) + (2) = 8 damage.

"Well I'll be a small-brained silver-witted fungular monkey!"

Arratoi will try to identify it with either engineering or life science
Engineering : 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Life Science : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Arratoi then attempts to turn the lasers back on!
Engineering : 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Arroati is not sure what it is, but it has escaped the containment now. He won't have time to get the lazers on it the middle of combat.

I copied the pic of the creature and made it bigger. Looks like an ooze? I have no idea what's going on with that art. :>

Life Science: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 Lol, I guess our luck here is telling us just shoot and hope for the best.

Lynn calls out "Hey! Risky Vrisky! Your blobby thing is loose! Want to tell us how to deal with it?" and swiftly flips the switch on her headset to resume the music she paused before.

Improvising a start mid-way through a song, Lynn's voice quickly surges with energy. She sways to one side, points a finger at the ooze, and sends a wave of force bullets at it!

Magic Missile, full action, harmful spells: 3d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1, 2) + 4 = 10

:ynne blasts the ooze at the same time as HK. It absorbs the blasts not looking very happy with them.

William takes a pot shot at one of the Shirren, whether it is Risky or Vrisky is unclear.. However he misses.

Well that will probably not get me any info on this ooze.

Medrick draws his semi- auto pistol again and takes a shot at the ooze. While firing, he shoots Will a questioning look. Why are we attacking the Shirren, did I miss something?

semi-auto pistol (KAC): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
damage?: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Move action to draw my weapon and standard action to shoot.

The ooze is blasted yet again by a lazer, but continues to...oooze.. toward you.

Move action to put Get 'Em on the ooze

Arratoi focuses on dodging the ooze's attacks!

Standard action to go total defense, adding +4 AC

Mr Philt enters the room, pistol in hand. He fires quickly at the ooze.
attack: 1d20 ⇒ 17
-damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

And it finally flops to the floor, collapsing into a puddle that slowly spreads over the floor.

"They have come in the back!" - you hear shouted from the front room.

Sorry for not posting, had irl stuff going on yesterday that came at me hard

Seeing her companions take down the creature it ensures she shows a grin before making her way inside and then (if possible) open the door. If the door is locked she will attempt to bypass the security with Engineering first and then computers.

Actions: 1 move, open door. (if door is locked 1 move for engineering and then 1 move for computers to bypass it)

Engineering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Computers: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Will has already opened the door. It was not locked. Last round he looked through it and fired at something that is now out of sight.

HK moves in, weapon ready.

Starfinder here. Let your weapon down.

Arratoi draws his rifle while moving in, drops prone and shouts:

"Not only are we Starfinders, but we're also here as representatives of AbdarCorp and their Freemarket business. We know you've been selling augments that turn people into some kind of crazy cyber undead. My colleague fired only a warning shot at you. Surrender now and you won't be harmed - in fact I think you need OUR protection to keep you safe from the cyber zombies you've created!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (11) + 9 + (1) = 21

Medrick puts his semi-auto pistol away and pulls out his arc pistol. I hope this guy has some common sense and listens... I always hate needing to drop intelligent non-monster enemies.

A second shirren emerges from the back (or front really as you came in the back) of the room, pointing a weapon at you.

"Just leave, this is our house. We didn't mean to create the zombies, and you have just broken into us here."

They most certainly do not lay down their weapons, but nor are they firing them.. for the moment.

Arratoi quickly asks Philt, "What do you think? Is AbdarCorp interested in protecting these two in exchange for whatever cyber zombie tech they've got? Perhaps they'll stand down if AbadarCorp expresses an interest."

"No, we want to protect the good name of the Freemarket. " he says.

"You're coming in, like it or not." he calls back

The two shirren look at each other shake their heads and then as one...

Arratoi yells out, "Okay, yes, we did break in. We'll repair the damages, sorry about that.

"However, you hear that voice? That is Mr. Philt. He IS AbdarCorp which means the largest corp in the Pact Worlds is looking to bring you in. Trust me when I say your safety is much more assured by surrendering to us rather than waiting for an AbadarCorp security team who will later arrive with the intent to shoot first and ask questions later!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 9 + (5) = 17

"Then we'll shot first" snarls back the first.
intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Mr Philt is shaken by their response. The other shirren waves her hands and darts of magical power slam into Arratoi.
MM: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3, 3) + 3 = 10

"Your funeral... Guys, get 'em!"

Move action to put Get 'Em on red. Standard to fire at red.
Laser rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5
Fire damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Lynn continues singing, a look of disbelief crossing her face as the two co-conspirators first feign ignorance and then open fire. She steps into the front room to get a better view of the two of them.

Can you mark which one was able to cast magic missile?

Conscious of her magical reserves running low, she draws a small pendant-type spell gem from her pouch (holds magic missile). Though she doesn't produce any of her own missiles this round, she sweeps her arm out dramatically, ♫♪ letting her voice fill the room ♫♪!

(spent two move actions. Assuming they're still up after the full brigade gets in here to shoot them, I'll have some magic missiles next round.)

I always comes down to fighting... Medrick moves into the room with his arc pistol drawn. Once he gets next to HK, he takes a shot at the red looking Shirren.

arc pistol (EAC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 - 4 = 9
I am assuming the couch gives cover, -4 comes from that. Add 4 if I am wrong. +1 from "Get 'Em"
damage (electric, nonlethal): 1d6 ⇒ 4

Please, we can talk about this rather than turning to these guns!

The back one (blue) used magic missile

Oh I missed that magic missile attack when I read the post. Will update the damage on my status line now.
