I will aim for whichever one looks more wounded.

"Had to compensate for the weird angle, but I think I've got it now."

Robro

maintain prone and full defense

The cosmonaut's suit that Vag shot cracks open and two black tendrils make hissing noises.

Round 4

Kit, Snoori

Kit tosses a ball of fire at the black hissing tendrils!

Light Reaction Cannon Vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 6 - 4 = 7

The combination of Snoori and Kit's attacks are able to destroy one of the tendrils.

1d12 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Kit misses the target but Snorri is able to destroy the second tendril.

The last cosmonaut attacks Snoori 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 misses

Vag and Bronen

"This is taking too long," shouts Vagoru. He drops the laser cannon and steps down towards the creatures and swings his doshko.

I'm assuming I can climb down and close into melee. I will aim for whichever one looks more wounded.

Doshko: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Doshko Damage +1 photon: 1d12 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

Both will stand and hold their position.

Vag shoots the remaining cosmonaut and he is still up.

Fire Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Snorri hefts his axe again for another swing and the tentacled horrors.

Damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The second cosmonaut suit busts open leaving two tendrils within.

Solar Weapon -4 full attack: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 4 = 13

Probably both misses, but just in case:
Solar Weapon Damage +1 Photon Mode: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8

Both Vag and Bronen miss.

Bronen moves in behind RoBro.

The combination of Robro and Vag brings down what was remaining of the Cosmonaut monsters.

Combat Over

"So given the infestation we keep coming across do ye think this place is salvageable."

Kit scoffs. "This place is an infectious death trap! It needs a butt-load of weed-killer, and a napalm bath!"

She crosses her arms and mutters angrily.

"We are not SeRPs because missions are easy," A robotic voice comes from RoBro once more. It speaks slowly as if translating from text. Meanwhile Bronen appears to be typing on his datapad. "We know now what we face. Let us see if we can extract the infestation at its source."

Kit groans. "Fine! Where to then, Bro?"

"Give me a few minutes to rest up before we head on they were damn tough."

Kit nods. "Yeah, me too. I'm beat.

Resting to regain stamina.

You take your stamina rest.

Where to? Do you want to follow the trail from the building or do you want to visit some other part of the Outpost? Or make the flight back to Fleet?

Follow the trail.

Sure

+1

You make your way first out of the aquarium location and back trace your steps into Alpha Sector. You then follow the street skirting Beta Sectors and then you recognize the building where you fought in the dark.

A long black tube, about one foot in diameter, lies on the ground here. It seems to lead to the base of the apartment building to your left, and trails off towards Alpha Sector, and the center of the Outpost, to your right. There is also the scorched earth marks from your ordinance.

"I could try and chop it with my greataxe unless you want to try something with a bit more technical skill kit? The things a tripping hazard and it's black to boot so not part of the original design."

Bronen grunts in affirmation.

Kit shrugs. "Just smash the thing."

Snorri starts hacking at the pipe.

Snorri slams his axe onto the pipe, the pipe and its contents reform around the axe blade and then when he lifts it out of the ground the things inside start to reform as it did when you were here before.

Kit sighs. "Okay, so where haven't we been? We've seen the apartment... Let's follow the pipe back to the centre of the Outpost, I guess?"

Vagoru goes over to the strange pipe. He gently puts his hand on it, trying to see if he can tell if there is a flow moving throught the pipe, and if so which way the fluid inside is flowing.

"Maybe we can figure out which end of this thing is the source."

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Vag

Are you going to follow the source?

"Good idea! Lead the way!"

Yes, if he knows which way that is.

"Let's try away from this building. We've already been in there."
