After milling around, checking in with several of the survivors, Kultainen connects with a male syngnathrix named Vrinn. Vrinn confides that he is worried about his partner, a pilot currently fighting the jinsuls, and looks forward to the birth of the children he carries. They swap stories about domestic life on Saaruq 5 and Vrinn pictures of his partner Quara and the pair’s first brood.
Lemgem continues driving forward while targeting Ratrod to keep the ysoki off her new friend's tail.
She is unable to hit the wily driver, though, and fails to keep on track herself.
Lemgem's driving levels out somewhat, and she no longer has the insane burst of speed from before, though she manages to avoid any collisions. Instead, her accuracy and attention go into firing her weapons at Ratrod. Both attacks from her well-armed vehicle strike the ysoki's vehicle.
Sparks raises her hands as a small cluster of brilliant pink sparks coalesce into three distinct motes of light. "Have a taste of this Star! Sugar! Heartlove!" With each word, one of the motes blasts into the the security bot.
Caverina moves swiftly into the chamber and finds some cover among the chairs at the computer terminals lining the walls. She crouches and levels her artillery laser at the security creature Elric engaged.
The blast tears into the creature, but it remains standing.
Vandor wraps up his performance for now and waves for Zo! to take his place on the stage, "...and that brings us to the end of Act 3 and our Intermission! Thank you for your attention, ladies and gentlemen. Now, join me in welcoming that hero of the holo-vids, that titan of tele-tainment, that unsurpassed, unabashed, unmatched undead....Zo!!" Vendor quickly exits stage right and makes his way into the halls, where he begins making his way toward the AV booth as well. As soon as he reaches the cover of the halls, he draws his pistol.
10331123 recalls his military training and makes his way to the front lines, drawing his sword as he advances on his insectile legs. As he comes face to face with the security creature, he strikes with his blade.
Ratatat hops up into the forward gunner position and fires up the coilgun. He zeroes in on the orange ship as well, now that Faraeon has opened up its shields, and takes his shot.
Prior to the assault team's arrival, Huckle hurries to the edge of Lynn's illusory wall and draws his trusty azimuth laser rifle. Once they are in range, he takes two shots at the jinsul, focusing his fire on the nearer enemy (green).
Both attacks miss badly, though. With laser blasts and battle cries ringing out from behind the illusory wall, the spell is broken, and both remaining jinsul now see their enemy clearly. The green warrior skitters forward and stabs at Hudathan with his long, sharp leg blades.
The terminator-class jinsul, on the other hand, takes a slightly more cautious approach, and moves so that he can catch three of the Starfinders (Kess, Bugface, and Arratoi) in the blast of his flamethrower.
Saritirnen seizes the opportunity his companions have created and moves forward to join in the destruction of this dangerous creature who had attacked them.
Seeing that his usual tactics have been unable to seriously affect the boss man, Jann moves closer underneath the bridge and targets the man's seemingly endless supply of knives. He draws a wand and weaves a spell to heat the metal to such an extent that the poor, doomed man will either suffer needless pain, or have to drop one of his knives.
Kalim feels the spell begin to heat the metal of his weapon and quickly releases his grip, and suffers no harm, but the knife turns in the air in just such a way that it slips through the slats of the bridge, leaving him unarmed for the moment.
Two kobolds appear behind Saritirnen and Willem, and the elf's warrior instincts kick in. He brings his spear over his head in a long arc, lines up his target, and strikes!
The spear head punches through the thick scales on the kobold's chest and disappears in the small creature's torso, reappearing as it slides out of the deep-purple tinted scales on the kobold's back. The kobold slumps over the shaft of the spear, and, with a fluid motion, Saritirnen draws his weapon back.
Ouncius takes a long step forward and to the side, almost circling behind the reddish flame-being, his blades flashing forth from their sheathes like fish sliding out of water. "You will not survive this fight, flame-beast," the warrior growls at his opponent as his blades trace two perfectly parallel arcs in opposite directions as he slashes at the elemental.

Nixa charges down the path, her sword and shield held ready. "Come on, Red Arms! This poor man needs our help!" She comes within striking distance of one of the centipedes and brings her blade forward in an downward chop, then sets her shield between herself and her many-legged foe.
Blaster steps up with a look of determination written across his vulpine face, ”Time for your to get along, little buggy!” He levels his musket at the insect’s head, lines up his shot, and fires.
Blaster quickly moves along behind Sirettis and Uesugi until he reaches a pillar against which he can brace himself to help steady his aim. He raises his musket and mutters under his breath, "Hope this doesn't kill the kid, but he's not exactly going quietly." He holds his breath as he takes his aim at Gellion and squeezes the trigger.
Corsac steps into the doorway and, like something delivered by a dream, lobs a vial of acid onto the writhing swarm of spiders. [b]"Didn't I tell you all I found this stuff earlier?"{/b]
Borox steps around Ech to get a bit closer to the others. "C'mon ya lot o' leshies, ya gotta hit 'em for 'em ta fall! Gods guide ya if ya can't manage tha'!"
The vishkanya slayer strides toward the pile of crates, sizing up the Aspis agent atop them as he approaches. With a deadly flourish, he draws his estoc and smoothly slides his venom-coated tongue along the length of the blade. "Step aside, Azhagoth. Allow me to show you a truly deadly stroke."
RoBorox bangs his warhammer against his shield(?), letting forth a clamor of steel on steel and calling up divine energy to empower his allies' attacks. "C'mon orc! Ya can hit better than tha'!"
Botox raises his holy symbol and calls down a curse on the alchemist, "Torag's hammer smite ya." Dain draws his heavy crossbow and fires at the Laszo, Aki's song guiding his aim as he breathes in time with her song.
