Vixi moves forward, and finds a larger room in the mine. A passageway from the west leads into this rectangular chamber with rough-hewn walls. A metal mine-cart track runs parallel to the passage and enters the room before ending abruptly. A mine cart in an obvious state of disrepair lies adjacent to the tracks. Tools cover a table against the east wall, while a pair of metal lockers stands in the southwest corner.

Markar moves ahead a little seeking to be near the middle of the group so he can respond to any challenge that comes. Whether it is from the north or the south of his position.

Uh oh.
Hey guys, keep an eye out. We've got a lot of missing explosives.

"Great, let's hope there aren't any traps. Anyone see anything suspicious?" Tech stands nears the western most track and keeps an eye and ear out for anything that might be approaching.

Checking the walls and pillars for possible traps.
It's a good thing Mobius' senses are so keen. Just west of the large square pillar, he notices several motion sensors that seem to be wired to something.

Compucast eyes up the trap and in a low voice says "It would appear someone has something to fear if they are setting up traps. And thus probably something of value."
He checks up the right hand passage

Mobius checks the opening of the western passage and tries to look for tracks or signs of recent use.

"I'll check further down this left tunnel then. Watch my back Mobius, eh? Mechanics need to look out for one another." Tech says, you can hear the smile in his voice despite the mask, as he creeps forward, mindful to stay off the track in case anything comes barreling down.

Vixi creeps along with Tech, hoping to spot any additional tricks or traps along the way.
The passage heads west and then turns north into a T-shaped room. The ceiling is higher than other chambers, cut to fifteen feet in height. Permanent light xtures set in the ceiling provide brighter light. The mine- cart tracks that have run throughout this mine hug the south wall, turn north, and run along the west wall before coming to a dead end at the north end of the room. A single mine car stands on the tracks. Across from the cart is 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.
The office has the door wide open, and no other than Reynold Talbot is inside it. There's three miners in the room as well, they are the kind that jump to conclusions, it seems.

Surprise
Mobius moves in closer to get a better view of the miners and Talbot.
Round "Alright, Talbot. We know you're in there. The tricks end here, right now! Better to surrender than to make this scene ugly." He draws his laser rifle and takes a shot at the nearest miner. "You got it, your highness."Southernmost miner

Vixi moves up a little closer, "comlink" already held in her hand.
The King is not amused, and shows his displeasure by drawing his gun and calling out a miner to go down first. Mobius follows the decree and clips a miner with his shot.
Vixi moves in, while compucast starts charging up his gun

Just want to clarify, did you take Compucasts action that he posted for me instead of the one I posted after? I just need to know if my exocortex is active or not.

Vixi glides through her close packed comrades to get a clear shot on the miner that bears Gary's ire.

Having a sense of frustration, Mobius activates his exocortex and targets the miner beside Markar. "M.I.C.H., scan that miner for me. Don't let me lose sight of him until he's down."

Tech steps out from around the corner to get a better shot, and fires on the miner engaged with Markar while the lights on his mask flash, providing him statistical information and aim assist.
Pulsecaster:1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 = 171d6 ⇒ 3 That's an 18 to hit if my Cortex is active. Non-lethal.
Markar tries to take out the miner that Gary pointed out, but his shot misses. Compucast efficiently shoot the second miner, and takes him out of the game.
Vixi and Mobius shoot at the frontmost miner from all sides, and a final shot from Tech does him in.
Talbot climbs into the mine cart, which slowly moves into motion, while the last miner keeps defending his position

Trixi hustles off the tracks, snapping off a shot at Talbot as she ducks behind his miner buddy.

"Look out! He's getting away!" As the miner falls from the shots of his comrades, Mobius directs his exocortex to scan Talbot's biometrics. "M.I.C.H., I need you to get as much info about Talbot. Now, please! We don't have much time." He aims his rifle towards Talbot and takes a shot.
"Good job, M.I.C.H. Looks like that one hit the spot."
Talbot starts receiving 1d6 burn damage at the start of each of his turns. He can attempt a reflex saving throw at the end of his turn as described below.

You are on fire. As long as you have this condition, at the start of your turn each round before you take any actions (or attempt the Reflex saving throw described below), you take the listed amount of damage as fire damage (or 1d6 fire damage, if no amount is listed in the effect that causes burning). Fire damage from multiple sources that inflict the burning condition is cumulative.
At the end of each round you are burning, you can attempt a Reflex saving throw to remove this condition. The DC of this saving throw is equal to 10 + the amount of fire damage you took this round from the burning condition. If you succeed at this saving throw, you lose the burning condition. You can attempt a new saving throw each round you have this condition, and you receive a +2 bonus for each previous saving throw you’ve attempted in consecutive rounds.
