Mindspike looks really worried about Mountbank with a gun and his attitude to how it works "ummm should her really have that"

Artemis
HP: 1 Condition: Fine

“What the hell!?” Artemis shouted with a jump as the bullet ricocheted off the side of the pod near her and then flew past Clockwork.

"I'm Visionary. I have enhanced vision and can fire blasts of energy from my eyes."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Visionary, don't try to shoot me." She looked at Visionary and then back to Mountebank before giving Clockwork the eye, “Are they using a new Formula for the new folks or something?” She asked him not really expecting an answer, “Watch the friendly fire.” She called over her shoulder to the talkative newb.

"Hold your fire and reload the expended shell, Mountebank," Clockwork said as he stood unblinking. The near miss didn't seem to bother him as its path was clear from the angle of the shot. "Visionary, Mountebank, keep your distance and form a delta position to my left and right. Visionary, Mindspike, can you detect any life signs within the other pods?"

Mindspike scans for humanoid minds "I can not detect our enemy as they are animals"

"Negatory on the reload, my man. The bullets I got will suffice, probably. Anyway, don't cramp my style... I'm busy doing stuff, over here..."

The Mountebank was bending over and looking at part of a mud puddle, which was gleaming wetly, reflecting the sky above, and the clouds passing over it, but if you focussed and looked through the dirty water you saw a few pebbles beneath, plus half-a-stick of gum, unchewed, discarded.

Mindspike fills in the holes from the crashed pods removing each pod to a safe distance for reverse engineering purposes

Clockwork

Clockwork activated his commlink, "Commander, Artemis and I have made landfall. Mission successful. Contact has been established with new Gladitori. Recommend evac as Va Shaak are likely to pinpoint landing site." He shut off the comm, shouldered his rifle, and stepped toward the escape pods, quickly going over them to disable any homing beacons built into the pods.

Uproar

"Are either of you up on comms? Did you hear my broadcast?" He continues, "Sonics are my specialty."

"You're coming in loud and clear." Artemis answered, "You got a name?"

#Code name is Uproar#, he broadcasts while unconsciously moving into the standard defensive position. His jaw set tightly, # i'm ready to roll#

Mindspike says "Mindspike here, are we expecting anyone else in these pods?"

Artemis
HP: 1 Condition: Fine

"Mindspike here, are we expecting anyone else in these pods?"

Artemis shaded her eyes as she looked up to try to spot the falling pods while at the same time stuck her right arm out towards Mindspike with her hand flat and wobbled it back forth in the international signal for it could go either way. "We ejected all the pods at the same time to cover our reentry. We didn't want to make it to easy for the bastards to just shoot us on our way down with those big ass space cannons of theirs."

She looked back at the shiny new Gladitori and shrugged, "We're the only ones that made it back so if there's anyone in the pods then they're not on our side. If we're lucky, for once in our lives, then they're all empty."

[Bladewind]

As the team, old and new tensed, they watched as first one pod burst into flames - from damage sustained in reentry or lack of a pilot was hard to tell, and there would be no real way to know... Another pod hit the ground really hard about 500 meters (1500 or so feet) from the team with a crunch that would make you feel sorry for any occupant if they were likely to be anyone other than Va Shaak that it.

Only the third pod had anything resembling control in it's descent.

Mindspike senses some kind of animalistic presence on board, but whether that was Va Shaak, a dog or an iguana, or something else entirely, she could not tell.

Visionary picks up movement in the remains of the pod that impacted, while Clockwork calculates that the impact of the remaining pod is directly in line with the dock where the reporter and their commanding officer are waiting...

[Aerlwyn]

Mindspike says "we might have a problem I am getting an animalistic mind signature from the pod heading towards the dock. might be an idea if we rush back and sort the pod as it could be one of the Va Shaak"

Clockwork

Clockwork activated his comm, calling out to the commander, "Potential hostile unit, inbound on your position. Suggest immediate civilian evac.". He turned to his teammates, "The pod will land near the commander's position. I will make sure the other pods are dealt with then provide ranged support. Success depends on prompt action."

[Aerlwyn]

Mindspike says "should i fly all of us to the Commander?"

"If my girlfriend over there is hurt before she's even my girlfriend, I'm gonna be pretty ticked off," The Moutebank said, with the same intensity that he might use to discuss yesterday's mail.
