Angel makes her way to the cargo bay and peels off a shot at the creature.

Chip moves to the cargo bay door and opens it. His drone keeps pace.
Chip closes in and smashes the button to open up the cargo. There are two more of these things! They've broken out of small crates and are trying to break another one out! Thankfully the BIG crate seems to be a bit too much for them.

chip sighs. Well, I *did* predict problems on this "easy" job. I suppose we're going to get blamed again for a job gone bad, when it was the JOB that was bad.
Chip's drone closes inside the room, and shoots the bat-thing in the arse.
Then the android tilts his head jerkily to one side, and enhances his shields.
Chip bolsters himself with some shielding as the drone shoots the closer beast!
The wounded one breaks off and flies for Chip's face with nasty teeth: for chewing threw his shield!

Damn! Two more! he growls in the vesk tongue. Rifle already at shoulder, he pivots and fires an overcharged shot at the wounded red bugger.
Ranged attack

clarification question: did these things break out of other crates? Or are all of the crates we picked up intact (so far)?
Kaz shoots and hits the one attacking Chip!

Aldo peers into the cargo hold and fires at Red.
”Why is it that the moment the job is claimed to be easy, it always goes badly. I wish they would just tell me that is going to go badly.”
Angel moves in closer and concentrates fire on the wounded creature, or whichever one is left.
”Why is it that the moment the job is claimed to be easy, it always goes badly. I wish they would just tell me that is going to go badly.”
Perhaps we should never, ever, assume the job will be easy.

The vesk drops his rifle on its sling and goes full claw attack!

Aldo boosts Kaz a bit, keeping the vesk fresh for what's turning out to be a long engagement.

Chip hesitates for a fraction, wanting to save both his friend, and their cargo, from being opened and their contents spill out on the floor. He fires his pistol at the monster trying to open Kaz, and the drone keeps firing on the one trying to open the crate.
BOTTING FOR ANGEL
Angel certainly shoots again! She tries to swat the bat off the vesk's face with her plasma bolter
Angel scores a hit followed immediately by Chip and his drone! the trio is enough to drop it, leaving but one piece of violent cargo free.

"Let's get this foul beast off of our ship!
The vesk sprints forward, surprisingly quick for his bulk. He engages the last beastie with a big claw swipe.

Neither Aldo nor Kaz manage to connect. Unlike the other creature, this one seems singularly focused on the crate!

This is worrying.
This one must be faster or something, because Chip can't connect either!
It flutters a short bit away, but not enough to leave itself open. It keeps working on the crate, which is nearly broken!

"You all heard Angel, let's take this creature out!"
Aldo aims his azimuth rifle and fires at the beast! He models his own technique after Kaz who makes it all look so easy.
The vesk slashes his claw and tries to kill this bugger beastie. Reeaagghhhh!
Melee attack
vesky claws
While Angel herself can't seem to connect, the others heed her words. Aldo drills the thing with a laser shot and Kaz scores a lucky hit.
You've already learned that things are hardy as all get out though.

The vesk grabs his rifle from where its dangling on its sling. He reshoulders the weapon and fires an overcharged shot.
Ranged attack
Infinity rifle
Kaz shoots it right in the head and the thing drops like a rock! The party is completely safe for now, though the job is apparently borked. You're stuck in the drift, so there's plenty of time to deal with that.

The vesk runs over and checks the cargo. Is one of the boxes ruptured? where did the azzbuts come from?
Kaz wants to secure the room.
Kaz secures the room. Thanksfully the BIG crate is intact, but it seems you're actually transporting dangerous creatures. The "injured" crate is quickly sealed to the vesk's standards.
Now you've got to figure out what to do. You're supposed to drop the cargo into space, but some of it is well... dead. You really didn't get the impression that Gniz was scamming you. What now?
"Well done, everyone! Now, let us check to see if we have any way of still earning some money from this job."
Aldo looks over the crates that held the creatures. Is there a way to reseal them and keep the seal intact?
Well the problem is.... they're dead.
”Well, it looks like we’re not going to make so much from these dead critters. I do wonder if this was their own fault for faulty seals. I just didn’t want to see our ship torn apart by these beasts.”
Aldo is looking for any way to turn a profit from this loss.
