-Albert tackles the woman over as Lovisia tanks the shot-
-The green laser turns red, stops blinking, and half a second later a kinetic energy penetrator tears right through Lovisia's chest. It doesn't hit any vital organs, nor is it a killing blow, but god damn it's going to hurt like hell in the morning-
-It keeps going, and smacks off of a wall of the base, frightening all the civilians back inside as yet another robosoldier is revealed on the hill-
-A second green laser appears and begins scanning the base, though it hasn't locked onto anyone yet-
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."- Albert , you can trace the laser back to its source, especially since the clone Lemmett made has the laser's attention. As it turns out, the source... is thin air! It points to these guys having a cloaking device of some sort, though obviously it doesn't really work all that well if they're projecting a giant laser that broadcasts their position to everyone with a functioning set of eyes and two brain cells to rub together-
-Lovisia, you may be wounded, but it doesn't seem like anyone's focusing on you yet. The robosoldier on the hill is running to the right, towards the other one, flickering in and out of existence-
-Ironscales, you manage to locate the robosoldier as he moves to the right, towards the second laser. He's still flickering, which might make a second shot difficult, but hey, so long as you can kinda see him, right?-
-Meanwhile, four more robosoldiers charge over the ridgeline. These ones look like the regular ones. Oddly enough, though, they aren't trying to shoot yet - they're just bumrushing the mining base-
-What the hell is with these guys? Do they understand what the meaning of "go home" is? Fortunately, the rest of your buddies who are still alive aren't dead yet and they start firing on those robosoldiers as they try their damndest to score a touchdown-

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."-Lovisia, your eyes scan the ridge. You only see a green laser turn red before it fires at one of Lemmett's clones, obliterating it and poking a neat hole into the ground. Your detailed observations get you a glimpse of a robit with a lot of eyes
◊ as it appears from where the laser once beamed-
- Albert , the funny thing is that as you aim to fire at the cloaked sniper, he uncloaks. Your one bullet to center mass punches him out rather spectacularly; these guys seem pretty weak compared to the rank and file cannon fodder charging down the hill at you right now. Which also means Lovisia no longer has a target but the four robits charging down the hill... and the blinking green laser now scanning the valley again-
-Meanwhile, Ironscales, the scope of this thing is a bit tough to understand, but it has a dot and you can center it on where the green laser is coming from, pointing at Lovisia-
-Oddly enough, the charging robosoldiers completely ignore Lovisia as they sprint at the base, though with the sniper's attention fixated elsewhere, one of them gets gunned down by the spacemen-
Nemtsol, please report to the discussion thread,
pronto.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."-Lovisia, you arrive at the sniper at the exact split second the beam turns red. Strike now, or forever hold your peace-
-Unfortunately, Ironscales, you pull the trigger and... click. Nothing happens. You can feel something poking you in the leg, though-
-Quartz's gust of wind manages to blow over the charging robots, whereupon one of Guy's bomb potions blows them up. though they're quick to get up. One of the robots brandishes a pretty big gun
at Quartz, while the other one ignores him and continues running towards the base... then gets gunned down by Albert -
-Ao is now hidden away inside a nice little alcove. The robots can't see her and effectively ignore her for the time being-
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."-Ironscales, the thing poking you in the leg is the wounded spaceman. With a fairly large bullet.-
Spaceman: Open the breech, load the round. It's single shot.
-Quartz, your quick thinking is rewarded - the shotgun is batted away from you as Lisa blows the robot away with a shotgun and Albert puts a few bullets into its corpse for good measure-
-Lovisia's claw wheels the sniper's gun away as it fires, spearing a poor bird flying by. It also wheels it away hard enough to tear the sniper's arm out of its socket, as well as quite a bit of its internal electronics. The cloak field fizzles for a moment before the sniper falls over, dead-
-This time, you're pretty sure that nothing else is going to come over that hill
-

Quartz: Ah, are you all alright?
Ironscales: Huh, you planning on getting that gun back, or...?
