You take out the driver first, to assure they can't drive off. You're able to pick off the driverless gunner next. After those two shots, you hear someone down below call out "Sniper!". All the hostiles rush into cover, but they aren't sure where you are.

The attackers brought a single warthog with them, but it's now empty. Dillon will likely prevent anyone from trying to rush into it again.

You're now in the cargo hold. The CSF are still aiming at the door, but Lieutenant Colfax and Sergeant Alvarez are talking, likely about how to drive the attackers off.

You grab the medical bag. You find essential first aid items in it, as well as an energy cutting device (an energy sword) which can be used to saw through stubborn bones.

Dillon@CSF-Alvarez: "they are aware of me, I'm going to need some help if they know where i am"

Luna: is there any safe escape? Maybe tell me where Cleatus went?

CSF-Alvarez: "Right. You just make sure they don't get to that warthog, and keep us covered. We'll handle the rest."

PDA-Luna: "There doesn't seem to be any route leading out of the ship that isn't currently under observation by hostiles or within their potential line of sight."

Lieutenant Colfax, Sergeant Alvarez, and the Colonial Security Force begin moving outside. Without the warthog and sniper to cover them, the assailants are on equal ground with the CSF. An extensive firefight ensues, with the well trained security force, plus their sniper ally, easily defeating the hostiles. With the rest of the hostiles having been eliminated, the last enemy attempts to make a run for the warthog. Lieutenant Colfax shoots him before he makes it to the vehicle.

CSF-Alvarez: "Well, shit. Do you think any of them are still alive?"

Lieutenant Colfax: "I don't know. We better secure all the bodies."

The Colonial Security Force sets to work gathering all the corpses and moving them to the back of the ship. Afterwards, they secure the enemy's warthog, and park it closer to the ship, using the turret to keep watch over the perimeter.

Meanwhile, the recon team continues sprinting their way down the road, back to the ship. Many of the hostiles from the mining facility are hot on their tail. You can't run backwards faster than they can sprint forward, so if you attempt to turn around and fire on them, you'll have to take out all of them. You wouldn't be able to turn back around and continue running before they could catch up with you. You start to think of how bizarre this situation is. Admittedly, they're enough of a threat with the swords that your unit has to run away from them. But if just one of them had a gun, any gun, they could kill everybody in the group. Are the swords some sort of bat-shit insane intimidation tactic? Who the hell are these psychopaths, anyway?

Captain Breckinridge: "We'll have to radio the rest of the security force when we get in range of the crash site. They'll need to prepare a defense and help us take these people out."

The group continues sprinting down the long road. Due to combat training and general physical fitness, you should be able to keep up this pace until you reach the crash site, but it's going to be exhausting, and if you let up, you're done for. Though you've been running for quite some time, you aren't able to see the canyon yet, and you haven't come within radio range of the crash site either.

Shane continues running without stopping " damnit how many of them are there !!"

Soren: Heading outside, he begins his long, ardous search for a weapon. Out loud "Any idea who those shitbags were?"

CSF-Alvarez: "Who do you think? Rebels. No wonder no first responders came here. Shit, I wonder if they found the captain and his team. Maybe that's how they found us."

The CSF don't mind you taking a weapon from the armory so much anymore. You can grab an assault rifle, DMR, shotgun, or magnum.

Dillon: "hey guys, could they possibly be mercenaries? i mean, just the way they fought during the battle"

Soren: He grabs a shotgun for good measure. He looks over at the ship. To Alvarez "It's plausible. Hey, we've got one active warthog and the other isn't mobile but the gun is operational, why don't we move the immobile 'hog closer to the ship and we scout the area with fully functional one?"

CSF-Alvarez: "I doubt it. If they were mercs, they were pretty poorly trained, plus, this whole situation just screams 'Rebel attack'."

CSF-Alvarez: "We should probably wait until daytime to do anything else. It's pretty difficult to see right now, but if they had anyone else with them they either retreated or aren't attacking again tonight. No reason they'd wait until all their buddies were dead to make a move."

Soren: "In that case, we should set up a sniper's nest above the ship. The attack was pretty sloppy, but i don't think rebels would have anything to do with this planet, as far as i know."

Mercer: *grabs a pistol, and walks back to the matress*
*immediately turns around at his arrival*

"Who ever decides to use another cup as a bedpan beside my head, is gonna get shot in the knee caps. And then I'm gonna chuck you out of the ship for bait. Do not test me."

Soren: To mercer "Sorry mate, that was me. I left you a cup of hot water, i can see how you misunderstood." Walking back onto the ship, shotty in hand.

Tom: "Excuse me, Lieutenant Colfax and Sergeant Alvarez? I think i have an idea that might just work to drive the attackers off, or kill them all. Either way we should be safe for the night..."

Dillon: "all of you guys are going to need some sleep for tomarrow, i'll just stay up here looking for the recon team and could someone bring me a pillow or somethin...my ass hurts"

Cleatus: Open up the laptop bag and pull out the laptop. After opening and turning on the laptop a Hologram of the laptops AI appears, standing on top of the keyboard, "Why hello you, I haven't seen you in a while, Hey, you think you can go through this footage I just took and scan the battle tactics of those raiders and see if you can find out anything useful about them" Plug the PDA into the laptop and download the recorded files into the laptop. ".....I am going to have to hide you again, don't want anyone finding out about you just yet, and hey, glad to have you back." Close the laptop and place it back into its bag. Head back down to the mattresses and get back on the same mattress as before, place the laptop bag underneath the pillow and try and go to sleep, be aware of anyone trying to talk to you or anyone try to steal anything of yours.

Lieutenant Colfax: "And what would that be?"

Sergeant Alvarez: "The merc is right. You guys should really get back to bed; There doesn't seem to be any more of them, so no point to staying up and worrying about it."

Your laptop loads a data file (for simplicity reasons, data files are viewable by all players).

Data File: Rebel Leaders

Spoiler:

Dyama: "Are we still out of radio range? These transmitters are crap!"

Demitri: @Cleatus: *walk into the sleeping quartes toward Cletus* Hey you still awake?

Cleatus: "Yea, what is it?"

Demiri: "I don't like it here man, I feel like everyone's against me, plus I'm worried about our cave. if those guys found us here, who's to say they arnt setting up on your lab? This situations just killing me, all I'm asking is for us toget out ASAP. I got a pack full of meds and first aid. We just need men and guns an we can start our own base of operations right?"

Cleatus: "I could see the cave from where I was before, they didn't find it, and well I wasn't planing on moving the lab until we were better stocked and prepared for whatever is out there. If you can get the guns and men, then we could probably move into the lab and be protected enough to where we could work and live there without worry." "So if you can get the guns and men to use them then we can move into the lab, but until you have those we are not moving in until it is finished and the security system is up, and I am not moving further away from the crash site until we are more prepared."

Demitri: "damn, we need time..."

Soren: He sits down near the back of the storage bay, keeping an eye out for Dmitri and the stolen medical gear.
