Getting sorted out for the turn, it may be commented that Trotsky's binge has dropped to 3 due to the proximity of Harpies. Higgins is also down to 3. The team cannot afford to drag -out the clearing of this module.
TEQUILA : sidesteps left and shoots the Harpy still threatening Snitmeister and Chang. A hasty and rubbish shot, which simply recoils the monster back off the cargo element and out of sight.
YOU : is blocked by the jam of Verms and is reduced to WAITing where he is.
KONGO's shotgun is rather inappropriate for shooting the Harpy off Trotsky and he also must stand ready awaiting developments.
SNITMEISTER : stands and advances to free-up the logjam a little.
PETTYBONE : decides to help his comrade struggling with the attacking threat. He swaps to his pistol...or at least, he would have.. A 6 indicates he fumbles the operation and thus needs his second action to complete the process. He will not get to help Trotsky this turn!!!!!
FAILURE AT THIS CRUCIAL POINT TRIGGERS A SEGMENT OF THE CAT TO BE ADDED TO THE CATASTROPHE DISPLAY.
CHANG stood up and lobbed a grenade over the Loader Suit to hopefully damage the Harpies skulking that way. His skill with the launcher ensured a good hit. One Harpy collapsed, shredded by grenade fragments but the other escaped unscathed.

| Chang was quietly pleased as he deployed a newly-made grenade marker against the Harpies |
Now it was time to see how TROTSKY was faring in his life and death grapple. He was now on 4 dice with +2s against the wounded Harpy's two dice. His blood being up and now armed with his cutlass Trotsky, literally, made mincemeat of the alien. 3 sixes from him and the alien throwing minimum saw the dark shiny form slide to the deck gushing green blood from numerous deep slashes that almost severed its head.

| Trotsky worried there was no room left for hit markers as he slashed the Harpy to bits.. |
Gold Star for Trotsky! Immediately raising his binge 1 point. Still shaking somewaht, Trotsky holstered his cutlass and took up his HAR again.
It only remained for HIGGINS to now step forward and hose-down the skulking wounded Harpy with HEMG shells. The creature's component skeletal elements parted company with a disgusting slopping sound.
THREAT MOVE
There was still fight in the Harpies and the unwounded one threw a maximum move and attacked SNITMEISTER up on his cargo element. The Verminator had no option but to !DUCK again, and trust to YOU's accuracy with his pistol to repel his assailant. Blam! YOU snapped off a Hasty shot as the Harpy clambered onto the prone SNITMEISTER, with evil intent. The heavy slug smashed into the Harpy's skull and a crack opened, leaking goo. The creature fell back away from his prey.
 |
| 'Leave him alone, Biyatch!' screamed YOU as he blew the Harpy back off his co-worker |
HOUSEKEEPING AND END
The Verms were now just left with the mopping-up and still no casualties had been taken despite several scrapes.
 |
| Fewer Harpies. Everything calming down.. |
