Nope. In fact, taking the elevator is a major tactical triumph.
Okay, I'm taking a fair amount of credit for that happening as if Rylis hadn't cleared it out, it would have been a lot harder for Jaiden and his troops to actually get in.
Anyway, Rylis will spikegun Eerin and dodge his inevitable attack.
Eerin and Rylis clash. Rylis fires first, which Eerin tries to dodge but this does not go well for him- Rylis is using her spike gun and the dodge is wasted. Rylis rolls a 15, giving her an Outcome of five and giving the Spike gun a base damage of 9, fired expertly through much of his armour for eleven damage.
Eerin then performs a Quick Attack, which Rylis dodges, but Eerin counters that with a Strike of the Master. He gets a full on hit with five outcome, though only a base damage of four, and he has to bypass Rylis' armour too. Seven damage.
Kyle is still blasting at troopers to the west.
Now separated from their colleagues, upper floor Osokans are entering the elevator shaft to attack Jaiden and co. Scarlet is with them. As this will lilely change Jaiden's requested action I am holding it.
Arvus, meanwhile, blows off another door to the north. His luck is out, though- hits from defenders take him to maximum damage and he withdraws.
Without Eerin helping them, though, the defending Osokans can no longer strop the various entry points of the troopers.
Up top, Sasha uses Fortune to make sure her shot lands home this time. Janthis uses the last of his Fortune to avoid Rhys, whilat Ranad keeps blasting at troopers.
Janthis is trying to blast at Osokans but fluffs his roll.

Janthis will actively Dodge Rhys and Sahas this turn.
He will also spend this turn organizning all of his troopers and the other Stormtroopers and place them a a defenable position so they can maximize their firepower at the front of the Osokans and as prevent all the Osokans from being able to attack as they will be stuck behind the front lines of their own people.
Janthis will do this no matter the outcome even if it means he has to get shot out of the fight. His men need to be ready to handle any attack if he gets shot out.
Also if Janthis can he wants to rally the troopers using a leadership roll forcing them to hold their ground at all costs. Also if he can he wants to leave an Order with his Second in Command. If the intital charge by the Osokans fails and doesn't budge the men then Janthis wants the troopers to begin forcing the Osokans back.
Janthis on verge of being taken out screams to all the Men around him, " FORM UP ON ME MEN HOLD THESE PIGS NOW AND WE SHALL OVERPOWER THEM WHEN THEY FAIL. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO FALLS AND WHO DIES THESE SCUM WITH KNOW THE TASTE OF DEAFEAT!"
Hmmmm, do I shoot him or attack him...because I'm not going to last too much longer myself but if I can take Eerin down with me that'd be great...
I think shooting at Eerin would be the better idea at the moment, as Rylis's combat score isn't as high as his and I have EE to ignore some/all of his armor.
So Rylis will fire at Eerin with her blaster and dodge his incoming attack. I'll use a fortune point on that dodge.
The north wall fighting is incredibly vicious; all the Rebels have turned their fire on the troopers- but are they too late? Janthis has succeeded in distracting them for somewhile.
Janthis has organised all of his men for one final aggressive stand...

At the warehouse, Eerin Cuts and Rolls at Rylis, but a Fortune-point assisted dodge puts paid to that. She has decided to use her gun for this fight and hits back with a 17; combined with Eagle Eye that is a vicious hit.
Do note that if Rylis dodges again Eerin will be attacking her twice.
In the warehouse, Jaiden flames again at Scarlet as she blasts away with both guns; this is a damn vicious fight on both sides. Jaiden gets two attacks as he makes up his action.
I guess Kyle means to fire at the troopers inside the warehouse.
The Osokan/trooper fights continue.

The Troopers know their orders Janthis has issued them right Ush?
So there is no confusion the men are going to hold off any Osokan Charge for this turn and then once they stop the Osokan advance on the formation they are going to counter drive hopefully being able to drive the now disorganized Osokans away. If Janthis needs to make any further leadership rolls to carry this out he will.
If not then so as to help make sure they stay disorganized. Janthis has seen that Sashsa is the one who has been trying to Organize Osokans so as to make sure she can not do such thing. Janthis will blast at her snapping an attack with it as well.
Janthis seeing the Osokans begn to charge shouts one more time, "MEN THIS IS IT HOLD THE LINES THEY CAN NOT PUSH US BACK GIVE IT EVERY OUNCE OF YOUR STRENGTH AND DISCIPLINE."
He knows this may be last time he can fight with his troopers as he is on his last leg for this battle.
