Ahh, Melkor, you'll be fine, you're only on 33 damage, remember how much damage everyone had to take before dropping in the Citadel fight....😛
Snap attacks at 3 of the small turrets, Defend for defense, and I guess Rianna'll dive away from the heavy turrets if they fire.....
(those things NEED to go. If someone would care to help, Tanic preferably, I'll go and start hacking away at them, but I don't want to go after both at once)
Just the one kill from Takuan's push there... Tanic gets two.
I assume Rianna wants to close... she just walks over there though.
Slate, showing survival instinct, moves away from the three who have stayed where they are!
Still, he gets hit by a guard, for 8 damage, and his goon gets hit also.
Gallador takes a hit for seven and death checks; pass.
Slate's goon is hit again.
One off the big turrets misses, probably blowing a big chunk out of the rock face, but the other hits Tanic, Takuan and Gallador! Gallador death checks again but passes with a good roll.
Rura, decked out in very elegant body armour, takes a chance and fires a rocket launcher shot at one of the heavies; if he misses this he will hit Rianna in the blast. Evens for 13 is good; he hits. 14 damage to the turret and he blows away one of the smaller ones as well.
Slate and co go for the guards. Two are blown away!
Gallador actually fails his Bewilder! Unlucky- still, impairment makes it hard.
Rianna gets her three attacks, later than planned. She gets her three kills.
Bad guys fire!
Slate is hit again... twice! And his other goon is blown away.
One heavy turret scores a near miss, the other one hits you guys, rather clumped together. That's too much for Gallador this time, who fails the death check. Tanic is left double impaired.
Rua fires again; a hit for the same result. Slate actually stops to make use of a Regen patch, healing up eight of his damage.
Rianna takes down another three turrets, finshing them off.
Luck is with you this time. Only Rura gets hit, and he can take it. The Heavies miss as well.
Rura switches his gunfire to the other heavy, rolling +1, and a hit. Slate, Eagle Eye coming in handy, fires a shot that blows out the other. This gives Rianna time to kill two guards before the bad guys fire again.
Less lucky this time- Heavy misses, but Rianna takes a hit for five, as do Slate and Rura, though his armour reduces it.
Sequence ends with Rura changing weapons.

Moral of the story- don't stand in a group under heavy weapons fire!
Well, as a HIGHLY aggressive Cultist (Emotions, SFF and SFP but no Defend or other defensive powers) you did exactly your job description- you fought at a level beyond your apparent combat capacity, but you aren't built for prolonged combats.
At the end there, it was the 'group huddle' that was the issue. Note that Rianna, who closed immediately, wasn't being hit by heavy weapons fire, nor did Slate, who scattered.
That involves advancing, Takuan. Could be a while there. Tanic cam go forward as well, as Rianna guard- kills, scoring two kills with a re-roll.
Slate blasts at the heavy turret. -3 not his best shot but enough for a hit.
Rura goes for the Captain. -4 is a miss.
Heavy turret causes Tanic and Takuan to have to dive clear again!
Ok, mass bad-guy firage. Guards are useless- total misses!
A hit on Tanic for five by a Taskmaster causes a death check; pass.
Rura takes a hit for 6 from the Captain for 4.
And that's it!
Slate goes for the turret again. +1; better, but it's still not destroyed. Rura takes another shot at the captain; evens is dodged. Rianna hacks down two more guards...
... and the Mecrossan Assassin Probe floats by, and its disruptor shot seeks out a Taskmaster. Evens is a hit, for 15 damage.
... and the bad guys fire again! Heavy turret misses this time; phew!
The probe takes a hit, though it is pretty tough.
Rura is becoming a bit of a bullet magnet; hit again. Then the probe again! And finally six damage to Takuan, impairing him.
Another shot from Slate finally nails that turret! And Tanic and Takuan finally arrive at the turrets, as Rinna hacks another three guards down, with another re-roll
