It gets worse.

The shreds of metal spark and bounce along the floor at the Sith's feet, and he uses his lightsaber top ward off a few strays.
As Ryer stands, the trooper with his weapon trained on the door swings to his right to fire.
Dodging as he runs, the Chiss sees Kede quickly drawing her own weapon, before being struck in the chest by the bolts meant for him.
The Joker leans onto a crate for support, pointing her pistol at the Sith, but the trooper behind her sends a pair of blaster bolts into her helmet.

Hmmmm...
Place speech in "Quotatios".
Indicate Comm. speech {In these things{As well as the target, such as Fireteam 4}}
Remember, short range comm links only reach up to low orbit, while long range can hit high orbit.
Jauzhmynn's equipment includes several long-range comlinks built into her helmet, armor, wrist and backpack for redundancy and ease of use. She also adds an extra layer of encryption. She poses video and holocapability and possesses a pocket scrambler, vox-box and a code cylinder.

Sorry...
Anyways, the way it works is it allows multiple forms of communication to take place...
1 to 1, 1 to many, many to 1.

Marina JK-7227 - Firecracker

At the sergeant's order and Ryer's call for help, Marina turns and sprints for the building, heedless of the remaining scattered enemies. A flash and roar behind her announces another of Boomer's rockets going off, but no hole appears. Fine; she'll make her own if he doesn't get around to it by the time she reaches the door.

Spoiler

Running towards the door in the southern building. If possible, she'll end up right in front of the space labeled Door, preferably on the left side.

Not sure if Jack will be following- he delayed his action til after Boomer rather than readying, so he still could do something, but he might want to stay out of the blast radius for next round. (Marina has Evasion, and therefore has no such concerns.)

But then again, so am I, and I've waited long enough...

Nice...

However in the Tome of horrors status section, you really should post a brief description of what the hell has happened so far. Make it almost story like. (Well, all RPing is, is telling a story with some one else. But I meant in a more formal way for others to understand whats going on. It IS confusing at times.)

Sounds good. FInish the encounter though.
By the way, Quin can take an action...

Looking up, Juazhymnn curses as four thermal detonators fly through the broken windows of the second floor window...
Landing amongst the Joker's, there is a noticeable pause before the detonators go off...
Splitting in different directions, the Jokers turn and leap away, to let their armor's tougher areas avoid the brunt of the explosions.
Marina's own dexterity and agility carry her well out of the range of the explosive...
Soonto and Derec and Jauzhmynn manage to make some distance, but not enough to totally evade the blasts...

Tambor can now see movement of troopers with that second floor again. Two of these shapes, armed with heavy blasters open fire at him, but the blaster bolts are merely wasted, taken in by the permacrete cover.
{{'601}We just got played...{Fireteam 4}}
Aiming her weapon, Jauhzmynn shakes a little as she fires into one of the traitors, but he falls from the window with a short scream as her blaster bolt burns its way through his chest.
Inside the building, the Sith moves faster than Ryer would have thought possible, hurling his light saber at the Chiss...
Ducking before the the weapon leaves the Twi'lek's broken and twisted hand, Ryer is still just a little too slow, and the blade slashes across his chest and continues behind him.

Seeing the explosion, Jonas turns to see what has happened, turning his back on two armed troopers and an angry, wounded one.
And a rather annoyed Sith.
A lightsaber whirls through the air, striking the Joker in the middle as it streaks back.

(1d20+12)[29] Damage to Jonas.

Luckily, it doesn't appear to have any effect on his jet pack. But still...
Tt hurt!
Inside the building, the traitor who killed Keda laughs in his helmet, and swings his rifle at the back of Ryer's head.
The Chiss easily forsaw this kind of tactic and ducks underneath the clean swing.
Snarling, the Sith leaps across the crates and holds up his hand in an sadly familiar gesture.
As Ryer waits for his windpipe to close, and to be lifted off the ground, kicking and struggling...
Krk! Snpt! Krk!
The traitor's rifle clatters to the floor as his gloved hands reach for his throat, his boots scraping feebly on the tiles.
Yellow eyes boring through the tinted lenses of Ryer's helmet, the Joker can almost imagine the Sith is staring into his own red ones.
Licking his lips, the Twi'lek grins, "You're aaaaaaaall mine, plastic boy!"
Screaming at Hask, having killed his friends, the lone, remaining heavy trooper levels his own explosive rocket launcher at the crowded together Jokers.
-click-
Cursing obscenities, the trooper tosses aside the traitoous weapons and pulls a rifle of his back, taking a wild series of shots that come nowhere near any Joker, and instead do a good job of decorating the shuttle with burn marks.
Only one trooper is fast enough to take advantage of Jonas' lapse in attention, but his shots fly wide and far of the Joker...

Point-blank concussion grenade attack! Marina will fight defensively, so as to reduce the chances that she hurts herself; -5 to attacks and +5 Reflex Defense for the rest of the round. No actual movement this round; that's just fluff to explain why she isn't, you know, dead.

Attack: (1d20+11)[29]

Wait a minute.

Is the a window on the north side on the second floor?

If so, maybe Viper could enter through there, blow a hole in the floor/ceiling, and flank them from the skies.

[crowe]

Spoiler

There are indeed windows on the second floor, it has been steadily raining dead traitors for two rounds out of them. Presumably, there are at least two more traitors up there. Originally, we spotted a team of four, I wounded one which was pulled inside, and Elf popped one in the head for first confirmed kill. Last map update said "at least 4 up here". Jauzhmynn pasted one after they threw the grenades, and I got two with my grenade, so I am assuming at least one more and the one I damaged.

I will be of limited availability over the weekend, I have to attend an out of town wake. Please don't let me hold up the action, Tambor will remain outside the building if possible, providing perimeter security and shooting any targets of opportunity, he has a pretty good field of fire where he is at. Of course, if he receives too much fire, he will displace to a new location.

JK-7274, "Haywire", Danguard Troy by OperationTREX

Tambor settles in, sighting for death, he keeps an eye out for any of the traitors dumb enough to break cover...
As he shrugs off any injury done by the detonators, the Joker moves out of range of Marina's grenades, and prepares to breach.
The Joker's don't hear the grenade go off-the filters in their helmets mute it out completely.
With fantastic force, the concussion grenade leaves the doors and the surrounding transparisteel buckled and twisted, giving a glimpse into the room beyond.
{{'601}We're gonna need 'nother one... Keda! Ryer! Stay back! We're coming in...{Fireteam 4}}
Within the building, Ryer hears the trooper with the rocket launcher mutter, "Here they come..."
Tambor notices the heavy trooper advancing toward the Joker's taking cover in the furrow.
Firing quickly, the Joker drops the traitor onto the ground.
Headshot.



5 Standard Minutes before Admiral James Tiberius' speech on the Initiative.
Stalking through munitions depot alone, Danguard maintains silence as makes her way away from the Sith Terminator. Usually, the Cathar would have no problem going toe-to-toe with the nightmares, no matter how bad the odds, but with an in-bound TIE fighter strike, she should really be elsewhere.
A member of the 433rd, 2nd Company, and part of "Imperator Squad", Danguard's unit had split up, each trooper hunting traitors alone in the weapons complex.
Having been previously, stripped of anything of value, the entire environment is just empty spaces...
Other units are fighting here too, but blasters are of limited use here in such closed spaces, and so, almost without agreement, enemies and friends alike have been resorting to melee combat.
Most of them.
The concussion grenade in the opposite room takes Danguard by surprise, sending a trooper, traitor or friend unknown, flying in front of her with rubble and metal to form a decent burial mound.
"Haywire!"
Emerging from the hole, a heavy blaster in both hands, Danguard's Sergeant, a Chiss named Don Varkin, signals a greeting to her.
"You've got a caller."
He holds up a mini holo-projector, and an Imperial officer in full battle armor appears.
Taking off her helmet, the 30 centimeter tall projection doesn't hide a stern and serious, but beautiful face...
"I'm Major Darna Vayle; trooper, you've just been assigned to Fireteam 4 of Joker Squadron-your kills of Sith have put you on the list."
Don shakes his head, "I thought the Jokers were on Geonosis-at full strength after reorganization?"
"Not for long..."

6 minutes later, Danguard is moving through the streets of Mandalore with a squad of Galactic Alliance soldiers. When they're ambushed by traitors, Danguard and Marin, the GA squad's slicer and an amateur demolitionist take shelter inside a building...
The crash of the shuttle startles the two a great deal, and the sounds of the battle outside make them ever more wary and Marin moves toward his own make-shift, booby-trapped entrance...
"Something's going on out there..."
{{True to the End via '601}No troops are in the immediate area to respond; but my knowledge of the Force tell me there are atleast THREE potential allies near enough to aid you...{FT4}}

High on the roof, as he takes a deep breath, Jonas notices yet another Sith with him on the roof. A large mask covers its face, making gender and species impossible to tell.
Holding up two hands, the Sith stands from its crouching position, and begins to back away toward the western edge of the roof, its black robes billowing in the wind.

Okay, that may be hard to understand so...

I am assuming Derec goes before Soonto, which I am guessing WoL will not have much problem with.

CONCUSSION OUT!{FT4}} he warned, getting a few steps run-up and then hurling the bomb against the door with a mighty crash. Out of the shockwave radius, and protected from shrapnel and spall by armor, he kept charging through the smoke and into the building. The glow and distinctive hum of the Sith's lightsaber marked him pretty readily even in the smoke and haze, and it was there that Derec fired a burst of blaster bolts.
