USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006 FOURTH ASSIGNMENT (COMBAT)- 'The Real'

You've already been flipping and spinning; the sentinels move with you.

Info roll says... you have this uncomfortable feeling you are moving towards the System security zone.

...wouldn't that mean there are going to be more Sentinels?

Well, frankly, there's no point counting how much past too many is too many, but it will make escaping them impossible.

"Captain! Are we heading for the Security Zone?!" Mors asks.

OK
I'll do what Mors said
one burst each at both 12 oclock ones.

Sequel rolls three successes; everyone on the Shez loses one die this turn.

Marduk, likely surprised by the sudden turn, rolls just one; everyone on the Percy loses two dice. Often a bad time to fire, on corners...

Good shooting from Fire, but not Mors' turn, this one.

"Err, you just worry about those sentinels..." says Dallas.

EVENT- Change of trajectory allows sentinel streams to outflank and overtake. More sentinels attack from front. Cards draw by lead ship each turn increase by one

I'll check again for any hull breaches.

Ares fires at a Sentinel at 9 o'clock High a burst from his gun, then fires at another Sentinel at 9 o'clock Mid with another burst.

Melis will cool this round, as she is not going to hit anything with one die.

No no, that was last turn that applied for.

shoot once at 3 o'clock low and 3 o'clock mid

Hawk shoots twice at the same 9 o'clock Mid Sentinel as Ares.

One burst at the 12 o clock sentinal

Cloud- all seems good so far.

Fire is on form! Darn good shooting.

"Get those damn things off my scope!" exclaims Marduk.

Another one got directly beneath you, Shez!

"Got another squid comin' deep," Ares alerts Fire and Hawk. "Do your thing!"

Ares homes in on the Sentinel at 9 o'clock with a burst.

"Got another squid comin' deep," Ares alerts Fire and Hawk. "Do your thing!"

Ares homes in on the Sentinel at 9 o'clock with a burst.

"Fire, Hawk, take it out," Mors says, regarding the squid coming from the bottom. "Burn, hit the front, Ares, hit the left, I've got the right."

Mors unleashes three bursts, two at one of the 3 o'clock Mid Sentinels, and one at the other.

Are the Sentinels purposefully attacking the bottom?

"We're trying!" Melis shouts back to Marduk. She fires two bursts at the Sentinel at 9 o'clock Low that's attached the ship.

Barb, kill off those two Mid Sentinels at 6 o'clock.

"Right, I see it!" Hawk dutifully pumps two shots into the deep squiddie.

Barb has asked that I relay that he wishes to attack one of the sentinels at 6 o'clock mid with 2 bursts, and the other there with 1 burst.

Cloud, I think you and I should probably head over to the areas where there's sentinels on the ship, just in case...
