Outside 40: It's all downhill from here

Peacefield Skull

The missile launcher guy and the minigun guy start hauling the ladder up as the cutting saw guy climbs backup. Their landing site is compromised, and until they have pacified the girl they won't disembark.

The flamethrower guy will try to get another burst of flame off at the ghost-girl, but doesn't want to incinerate his companion or the ladder, so if either of those is in his range of fire he won't shoot.

The ladder is in fact in the way, seeing as the girl is sort of holding on to it. She's not really holding on to it, since she's insubstantial, but as long as it doesn't get yanked more than her height (4'10") away all at once, she can use it to levitate up, as she's currently doing. The ghost girl waits, to see if they continue pulling the ladder up and let her get close enough to jump at the flame-thrower guy.
