Presumably they didn't mean to move next to Tolar if they have reach weapons. I hadn't realized that Unwieldy weapons couldn't be used as part of a full attack at all, I thought I could attack once with it and once with the pike. Can Tolar requisition a Longsword, Ultrathin instead?

Neon Ten moves through the underbrush to take up position peeking out from around the base of the large tree. He casts his spell, sending a bolt of electricity through two of the Jinsul.

@GM can you please add +2 damage to each of my colleagues attack damage this round? I spent the resolve, I would like it to have an effect!
"That's not good wildlife conservation!" Charli shrieks as nanites disassemble the tree she was hiding in. "Get 'em all!" She once again spends a resolve to get all targets in this fight.
"Oh and Maverick, thanks for reminding me about the grenades we requisitioned!" Holding on to the rifle with one hand, she throws with the other! As the grenade rips through more forest, she winces. "Darn it, I'm not being a good conservationist either!"

@Charli Poshkettle To be fair you specified spending a resolve to target all enemies, You didn't mention that it added +2 to damage. I have seen games where the bard put the exact bonuses they are granting in bold every single time they posted and multiple party members didn't apply them. If you want us to use bonuses you provide please add some reminder text similar to your last post.
Neon zaps a bolt of electricity!

“What! How?” Neon Ten exclaims in surprise as his spell is completely negated.
The leader doubles back the way he came out of the tendrils - he then flings a battery towards the party - which explodes in a fiery blast.

Life Science, minions, shaken:1d20 + 18 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 18 - 2 = 24 +4 if I can use Library Chip, if I have to choose between the two checks would prefer Red Leader,
Neon stares at the Jinsul, now much more concerned about what sort of tricks these may have, before scampering to a position where hopefully a single blast will get less of the group.
Only did a single move as I wasn’t sure if accessing the library chip cost an action. If it doesn’t, please move me another 40’ seeking cover.
...and now that I see the rolls the dice are really hating giving me any info. :(

Reflex Save:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
Maverick steps out from his position behind cover, his armor on fire from the jinsul's explosive, and unloads a round from his semi auto pistol before sprinting with the benefit of haste into a flanking position on the jinsuls left.
If Mav's alien archive check succeeds, his trick attack roll gets a +2 bonus. He'd also like to know the jinsuls DR, resistances, special defenses, special attacks in that order. He will attack yellow first, but if it's already dead he attacks orange. If his shot hits, the jinsul has to make a DC 27 reflex save or gains the burning condition at the beginning of his next turn. If the trick attack succeeds the target is flat footed to everyone's attacks this round.
Used my diffraction cloak to reroll my failed reflex save... and failed again. He takes 28 damage, -5 because of the thermal capacitor Mk. 1 installed in his armor.

Thanks for the reminder, Neon Ten also has a Thermal Capacitor.
@T'Kai - well it's open sky above you, didn't specify the time of day, but let's go with it.
@Tolar - Flame damage from the weapons.
@Neon - Library chip adds a bonus to the check, but doesn't appear to require an action to use to do so.
Neon is unsure what the leader is, or how it shut down the spell.
Neon does know that the other pair are Jinsul Myrmidons - apart from just being seasoned and effective fighters, they have no special resistances.
Maverick knows the leader is a Jinsul Commander, spellcasting Jinsul, they have goos resistance (10) to electricity - which seems to sit with why the series of electrical grenades and blasts aren't seeming to do as much as expected.
***
As the Jinsul stepped through from the entanglement, Tolar stabs it.
Neon positions up.
T'Kai puts a shot through one of the Jinsuls, dropping it.
Tolar shuts down its friend.
Maverick rapidly repositions, capping off a shot on the run!

Red gets a reflex save to avoid getting the burning condition. It's a DC 27 check.

T'kai flies in next to the officer. First move action flying 60' while sheathing pistol. Second move action flying 50' and drawing battlestaff. Will provoke if the officer still has a reaction. If the officer ends his turn adjacent to T'kai, he needs a Fort Save of 21 or be blinded 1 round.

Only one way I am going to hit from this distance...I would feel better if I knew how they cancelled my spell last time.
With a resigned sigh, Neon Ten tries casting a spell at Red again.

Maverick uses his hasted speed to move into position and surround the final jinsul before pointing his semi auto pistol at it and pulling the trigger.
First Seeker Elsebo pops up on your displays. "Starfinder hackers have recovered navigation routes for supply lines from a jinsul data center on Agillae-4. Using this information, we have identified vulnerable courier routes in the space surrounding Bastiar-6. The First Seekers need some skilled starship crews to choke the jinsuls’ resource pipelines."
The Starfinder fleet shifts overhead to close in on Callion-2 to scout as much as possible while the Jinsul fleet begins to close back in on Bastiar-6.
Table GMs, the Data Theft mission is closed, and the Sever Supply Line mission in Part 2 is now unlocked.
In a flash of shot and steel, the final Jinsul is dropped. The forest has gone silent again - which allows you to hear the rapid approach of a significant number of jinsul infantry converging on your location.
The shuttle comes screaming in to pick you up barely touching down as the bay doors open for you to pile in before you get over run. As the ship departs you catch glimpses of the jinsul ranks dissolving and dispersing without a leader on the ground to keep them unified.
Sadly, the 'alive' jinsul was killed by friendly fire when the fireball detonated on Tolar

Maverick spends a resolve point to regain stamina also and reloads his semi auto pistol with augmented diatha rounds.
Maverick looks at the battlefield intelligence updates on his comm unit. "Sounds like we are needed in defense of the scanner on Bastiar-8."
I'm down to 5 resolve points out of 10. So whatever of the two missions Tolar mentioned that will probably need less use of resolve points is what I'd prefer.
Beyond the humming force fields that surround the scanning tower, the moon’s otherwise barren surface morphs into a roiling mass of approaching jinsuls. Zigvigix’s voice projects through the loudspeakers throughout the building. “Wow, that sure is a bunch of angry jinsuls! Remember Starfinders, we need this tower standing if we’re going to transmit any data to our fleet from behind enemy lines. Don’t worry, every soldier defending a structure is worth ten attacking it, and every Starfinder has to be worth at least hundred jinsuls, so I guess that makes us about even? Get to your defensive posts and—“ their final order gets drowned out by the roar of the jinsul horde slamming into the force fields and turret artillery weapon firing into the rushing throng.
***
Key information:
A horde of jinsuls is besieging the Starfinder scanning tower, clawing their way along the perimeter defenses seeking a way inside.
The horde is an abstract foe beyond the building’s walls being fired upon by Zigvigix, and your role is to position yourselves throughout the complex to help stave off the horde using the tower’s other defenses.
All tower doors automatically open when approached, and the whole structure has normal light.
H1 Terrain cannon - from here you could use Athletics to load stone chunks to be fired at the horde.
H2 Barrier pulse - a person good with Computers could overcharge the shields and damage the horde.
H3 Computer terminal - a person could use Computers here to enhance the other defence systems in use.
H4 Stone supply - essentially just the ammunition room.
H5 Atmosphere control - this maintains the atmosphere and keeps the reactor cool.
H6 Reactor - an Engineer could use the cooling system to shroud the tower in freezing gas.
H7 Security mainframe - a Computer oriented person could use this to see in every room, control the doors, and utilise internal defences.
H8 Power core - this powers the external defences.
H9 Storage room - contains lots of boxes of goods in a roughly hewn room.
H10 Tunnel system - where do they come from, where do they go?
From here, read the above, state where you would like to begin, and once everyone has a spot its game on :)

Maverick calls his semi auto pistol to his hand and says, "This is going to take some real teamwork for us to defend this structure. Who's handy with computers?"
Computers +17 and Engineering +17 for Mav. Tolar is the best at Athletics I believe.

Neon Ten smiles when Maverick asks who is good with Computers, then says “I can usually get them to do what I want. Would you prefer I be at Security or one of the other areas?”
He then suggests “We probably need to concentrate our efforts a little, make sure we protect the systems that feed the defenses we use against the Jinsul.”

Id's antennae droop when he observes the tower's defensive equipment. Looks like I'm running interference! I'll try to hold back any interlopers.

Maverick will position himself at the security mainframe. He checks his utility belt to make sure the web grenade Mk. 2 he requisitioned is firmly secured there.
I'll take the security mainframe since I can double move and reach the tunnels in one turn if we need help there.
