Ok, so, post-mortem time.
First, Marduk wants to open the floor to comments from the two teams, and the Captains especially, about what they thought went right and wrong and what was learned.
Secondly, Marduk spots the white lead of Burn's ipod and double-takes.

Yup; those of you from the original game might just remember that only those without guns went to see Ni Zahn, and hence ended up fighting his heavies, who were kinda re-created for this.
The guardians were not there to be shot at, and so were appropriately covered. Of course, the turrets defended themselves as well.
