The nimble ysoki has just enough time to activate her jetpack, narrowly avoiding the difficulty of the gravitational situation.
"Yeah, that thing is ugly. Let's waste it."
The progeny of Hack-It, having learned how to shoot at the hip of her father, takes careful and before firing her pistol.
As soon as the thing makes itself known, the party opens fire. CeeCee makes good on the family legacy of cantankerous disdain for the enemy. Shockingly the fronds of the ship bend to provide cover for the beast, but CeeCee's aim is too good and connects with a direct hit. The creature's tough body seems to resist the impact of the bullet a bit.
Dae's weapon, however, is JUST the right tool for the job as the creature burns far more than expected. It's mouth opens in what you assume is pain, but in space no one can hear you scream.
The Bloom turns a pair of vines on the party and lashes out while simultaneously excreting something that connects to the Sample and you watch in horror as some of its wounds close.

Obozaya, her magboots clinging to the ship's surface, clomps along to get out of the way of her friends. She then takes her new flamethrower for a spin.
Ceilidh casts ◈◈Infusion on Dae to heal.
For her third action (◈), she tries to recall knowledge on the creature.
Obozaya's flamethrower is exceedingly effective! Sample 62 thrashes in what must be pain.

Failure The creature takes full damage and is blinded for 1 round.
Critical Failure The creature takes double damage and is blinded for 1 minute.
Sample 62 completely dodges Dae's attack and returns with more violence. It tries to rip Dae's head clean off:

Ceilildh taps into her Vitality Network and transfers vitality to Dae.
Life or death situations help strengthen your bonds with your allies. At the start of each turn in combat, when you regain actions, your vitality network regains 4 Hit Points; if you are master in your connection skill, it regains 6 Hit Points instead; if you are legendary, it regains 8 Hit Points. Your vitality network regains an amount of Hit Points equal to double your level plus your Wisdom modifier when you use the Refocus action.
Recognizing that it is not enough. Ceilidh casts Heal on Dae.
"Hang in there, my friend. You are the Cat!"
Ceilidh keeps Dae in the fight, at least a little longer. Sample 62 seems burnt and near death, but who knows what it's capable of!

Success The creature takes half damage and is dazzled for 1 round.
Failure The creature takes full damage and is blinded for 1 round.
Critical Failure The creature takes double damage and is blinded for 1 minute.
Dae, still wounded, but undeterred unleashes another supernova. It blasts right through the sample, overwhelming it in fire. Shockingly the Bloom's fronds cradle the corpse as if protecting it. Light and energy begin pulsing into the corpse, as if to somehow repair it.
You're safe enough for now, but who knows for how long...
CeeCee has no problems wrecking everything (on purpose). With Sample 62 defeated and the weapons sabotaged, you can return to your ship and leave.
Once your’re out of range of the blast, Captain Imaaz triggers the weapons as promised, causing a series of explosions that destroy the Bloom and everything left on it. It's time to fly away and dispatch Captain Imaaz’s final message to the Verdant Paradise.
The Xenowardens stationed on the Verdant Paradise reach out to you immediately, paying each of you 1,000 credits for your trouble—and your silence—noting that any information on Sample 62 and its planet of origin could spark corporate or public interest and is best kept confidential. They thank you for saving the Pact Worlds from an incredibly dangerous creature, noting that you are heroes even if no one in the Pact Worlds will ever know it!
