Bravo grimaces at the unfolding scene. Not being particularly savvy in technology or magic, he hopes the brighter members of the squad will shine here.

Take your time, we've all been there!
Still, awesome! :D
Bravo charges forward towards the group, not bothering to move quietly. But rather than rushing into the fray, bolts to the nearest cover. Then he scopes out a new cover he can reach quickly, and makes for there next. He does this multiple times, zig-zagging around the perimeter. The goal wasn't to get into a position to attack, but to put the enemy on alert, and distract them from what they were doing.
Would I be able to utilize my Acrobatics to Distract, maybe by zig-zagging from cover to cover around the perimeter?
"We literally just came out of Hell's Embassy," Bravo replies dryly. "We're Starfinders, Lance-Sergeant. Weird s*** is our daily routine and being between a rock and a hard place is where we're in our element. We should disrupt the ritual first. Might stall whatever Unity's attempting." He turns to the rest of the group. "Let's move out!"
Bravo salutes back and turns to show the Starfinder Society emblem on his shoulder. "Bonar Vizetelly, Starfinder Society, Exo-Guardians," he says briefly to introduce himself. "It's an artificial superintelligence with delusions of godhood called 'Unity.' My team's been tracking down fragments of it. We've in fact got one right here and were in the process of transporting it to the Lorespire Complex, where the other fragments we've recovered were secured. We've got to get back there, it's likely the epicenter of this outbreak!"
Bravo reloads his weapon and takes another shot.
Bravo keeps firing, hoping to take the robot down.
Bravo fires on the robot in front of him so he can get a clear shot at the robot attacking Roskar later.
Bravo follows through with his stated plan, launching a grenade from the underslung barrel of his gun between the two robots approaching them.
"We're Starfinders, 'boring' isn't in our vocabulary," Bravo comments.
Bravo pulls up his gun into a ready-to-fire stance. "Gonna open up with a grenade, don't just charge in," he cautions.
Works for me.
Did we lose Alanna, by the way? She hasn't posted in a while and while that didn't negatively impact us with the number of people we got in the squad, I liked her roleplay.
Level 4:
Sorry for the delay on the level-up, folx! I'll have it finished tomorrow evening!
Bravo grimaces as they leave. That was too easy. And then Skundrobastan's parting words make that grimace even more severe. Then he sees the impending battle and sighs. "Well, skor."
PLEASE focus on getting better!
Have fun, and Happy New Year!
Bravo immediately grabs the box and tucks it under his arm, then turns back to Skundrobastan. "Yeah, there's one more thing, just a personal matter; you're my cousin Vinny's supervisor. Vind Marleski, 18342-ABD-1923-6Q6Q6? Figured he could use the morale boost of a day off, he says he's been really drained lately. You know how mortals are, we ironically achieve peak efficiency when we have some idle time to break up our productivity..."
Bravo gasps as the scene unfolds despite its' relative predictability and jumps to his feet. "HeyheyHEY! Let's just cool our thrusters now!"
"Whoa, hey! What the...here, are you trying to do, Morimoto?! We can't afford to blow this because the devils offended you!" Bravo says.
Bravo's brow furrows, but then smirks. "Why would Asmodeus want competition? Every fragment of Unity we've encountered has tried to dominate and control any system it's been plugged in to and the beings those systems give it access to, and if it gets out and runs wild in Hell, it could do evolve and do damage. And it's got just as much ambition as any devil, if not more because it can back up its claims of divine power. I'm no theologian, but I know Asmodeus does NOT tolerate challenges to his authority. Asmodeus may be able to quash it and any rebellion in Hell it assembles, but Unity'd do a lot of damage to Hell's operational efficiency. And I know Asmodeus and Hell in general cares VERY much about operational efficiency. We're doing Hell a favor by taking this potential headache off your hands."
Bravo folds his hands and rests his chin on them, elbows propped up on the table. "Not much for talking myself up, but from an objective standpoint I'd say greatest thing I've done in my admittedly short career is I led the metaphorical charge that took down the Octis. It had another one of these datashards and it basically set itself up as the god of its particular hole under the sea. Shot the bastard right in the eye to finish it off, and prevented it from spreading from the facility it was trapped in. You want to gauge my worthiness to receive this fragment? I'd say the fact that this isn't my first defrex rodeo is a pretty good indicator of my qualifications." Bravos sits back in the chair and waits for his doppleganger's reaction. This was the most he'd spoken at once outside of a mission-debriefing.
Bravo raises an eyebrow at the bizzare scene they've just walked into, but doesn't say anything, taking his seat.
"Nothing we couldn't handle," Bravo replies with a shrug.
Bravo does his due diligence with the paperwork without complaining. "More than a little surprised we didn't get actively screwed over this time," he dryly comments at the end.
'Tis cool! Good luck!
"Yeah. Here's hoping this ain't a 'you kill it, you bought it' situation."
Overnighting at the hotel I work at due to a snowstorm, so my posting is limited to my phone. Please feel free to bot me if necessary.
Bravo gives an irritated sigh as the devil expires and gives them what he can only describe as one of the most obvious and dumb passwords he'd ever heard in his life.
Bravo shoots again, an annoyed look starting to form on his face.
Bravo leans over to Morimoto. "He's putting on a show," he says quietly. Then he straightens up and cracks off some more shots.
Bravo grimaces, raises his gun, and fires.
Bravo is about to feel express pity for the devil before it makes its offer and then Morimoto accepts it. Then he sighs. "Couldn't even wait to ask more questions, huh?"
Bravo tries very, VERY hard not to snicker at the devilish IT guy. "Well, they did send us, we ARE troubleshooters, but we were sent for retrieval of a contract we're completing, we weren't made aware of your problem in specific. Sorry."
Bravo follows after Morimoto, gun at the ready.
Take your time! We'll be here when you're ready. :)
Bravo lets the smarter members of the group locate what they need, while preparing in case they trip some sort of infernal security and need to defend themselves.
"We were supposed to retrieve files from here, right?" Bravo asks to no one in particular.
"I can relate," Bravo comments as he joins Roskar in looking around.
Bravo lets the smarter folks take the lead here.
Bravo gives a small "hmmph" at the sight of the door. "Be ready in case this has some weird hell-magic too." He marches up to the door and uses the knocker to rap on it three times.
Bravo approaches the dread gazebo ahead of the others, and then waves them forward. "Let's take the time to recover here."
Bravo gives Soundbyte and Roskar a nod.
