Well then... here goes
3 - 4 gives initiative to them!
Agent L moves into the Mid-West aisle. The other two move to block the far side aisles.
By now someone should have told Balder to tap LA to live this turn. And so he does... and so he does... and so no-one can ever say I am not nice. The two Agents blaze away at him but he makes it up!
Melis has escaped from her foe, rather desperately.
Agent G is heading to the archway...
Oh, and that apears to be it for them.
Klez, you've been with Dallas too long. This plan is insane. You can't heft Melkor down here with that Osprey spraying you. even now, as you pick him up, it's too late. it's already begun it;s firing run and the two of you are caught out in the open. Even if you had time to run for cover, none remains. The bullets pluck their way towards you...
Heph, you pull the lever. From above, a bell rope unfurls.
Burn runs to the balcony of death, reloads and then unloads again into Agent C with Ten thousand Bullets, causing enough swerve to deprive it of its next action.
Barb joins Sirin in the copters. She just opened a box at random- big spear in there. Hmm.
San makes an MA roll. I am sure she means RUN up rather than jump up, as we described earlier, but she does indeed make it, assisted by Abundant Leaping- she runs sideways/diagonally up the collapsed bookshelf onto the cases above!
Helios kills the one he failed to kill before on his way out of the room.

For some watchers, the whole thing is over in an instant. For others, it seems to happen in slow motion, the rocket lazing across the sky, a blazing trail behind it.
For some again, the result is all light and noise and heat, blotting out their other sensors, but for others, it happens in silence, but for all, it happens with all the drama of divine intervention.
Regardless. One moment the Osprey is firing an endless chain of bullets to slice Klez and Melkor in half. The next, it is spinning into the mountainside, lacking its left wing and much of its side.
Atop one of the helicopters, Dallas uses his left hand to toss his hat into the air. The right hand and arm are busy carrying the shoulder-mounted Surface to Air Missile launcher. Dallas lets out a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng Texan whelp, almost a Rebel Yell.
"WHO'S NEXT!!?" he cries out.
Ok, we're breaking out of combat time now as we break the situation down to each circumstance. However, I will bear in mind your damage levels and what is and is not untapped and/or loaded.
"Don't just stand around there!" yells Dallas downwards from atop the helicopter, to Sirin and co. "Dig out some more of these things!"
They are one shot jobs, you see, and there are another four Ospreys out there, including one coming straight for you guys now.
We know San is trying to bomb it across the bookshelves but we'll have to wait for Azrael's plan, and also to see if the phone becomes available for Burn- mind you, you aren't alone in neding guidance, Burn, and it's first-come first served around here. If you had all done it earlier of course...
Heph and Mors, you have shimmied up ASAP. Quick decision- you CAN cut the rope but that will mean no-one else will be able to use this route. Yay or nay? Btw, I am countermanding you hanging up with Ariadne as... you have no idea what to do and that would be a silly way to go out the game, stuck on top there wholst Burn takes up the phone.
One of the Agents by the balcony is Swerved Out. The other has turned and is dashing straight towards the copter where Dallas just fired from. So everyone there has a chance to move on safely, though someone needs to kill thopse SWAT.
Melis is heading through the corridor to the North/South route. Ladt we saw of helipos, he was way back and I dunno his plans.
So... take a few moments to breathe, and what's the plan?
