Flashback...
    BudReeep sits in the Explorer, Electrostunner in hand, watching the darkness for shadows or unexpected intruders. He hears the quick repetition of gunfire and explosions. His mind is a swirl of emotion as he can only imagine the carnage that such sound is producing.
    Raleigh was still kicking himself for his blunders, even while engaging the robot in combat. If he had been a bit more proficient with that lock, none of this would be happening. Seeing Telgar and Zhirrzi go down only magnified his guilt.
    "Thats it you SOB's, youre going down!" he shouts as he limbers up a frag grenade. "This outta make things interesting," he mused silently to himself as he hurled the grenade downfield. Waiting for the boom and the inevitable fall out, Raleigh smiled as he saw both the robot and the pirate had been hit.
    His celebration was shortlived, however, as he watched in horror as he was fired upon. The pirates shot missed by a hair but the robots shot found it's mark. Next thing Raleigh knew he was staring at the ceiling. Already his vision began to blur and the pain in his chest was nearly untolerable. He could hear the battle raging on around him, watched as Telgar rose and fought off his own injuries to continue the fight.
    For just a moment Raleigh tried to climb back up and help, but then a wash of pain hit him and his vision faded until he passed out and hit the floor again.
.....

    Hearing the war cries of the K and hearing the combot fall, Telgar rolls into the hallway enough to see them make quick handiwork of the pirate. Telgar talks into his chronocom, "We need Kah'Liss down here. The K are finishing up the pirate and have taken down the combot, but the rest of us are still in pretty bad shape." With that, Telgar slumps back onto the wall and readies his rifle. Even with the pain shooting through his arm, he doesn't want to be caught offgaurd by any pirates walking out of a bathroom or something.
    "Kah'liss, let the Kurabandai finish off these guys...let's help the others
out....sounds like they're having a difficult time at it..."
    Brenon will motion Kah'liss to follow him to help out their companions.

    Brenon bursts into the corridor, seeing hordes of Kurabanda engaged in melee. He sees the robot down, covered by 4 Kurabanda. Two other Kurabanda are fighting the third pirate. Not wanting to fire into any melee, Brenon spots another pirate, weilding a laser pistol and standing in front of the Radio Room door. Brenon dashes towards the Power Generator room, body swivelled to the new pirate, and fires quickly.

    The Sonic Disruptor hits the pirate in the abdomen, slamming the thick, muscled human hard against the Radio room door. His expression is a mix of pain, anger, and desperation as he feebly raises his weapon to fire....
    Meanwhile, the 2 Kurabanda attacking Pirate 3 continue their assault.

    The 4 Kurabanda, having defeated the mighty metallic demon, turn to the third pirate and rush into the combat. Seeing Brenon and the 4th pirate firing at each other, they stay clear. They know getting in front of a firefight isn't the most healthy thing to do.

    Kah'liss, hearing the request for help, determines that the combat is going extremely well and decides his services will be best used in his primary role of medic. Retreating backwards down the hall, weapon aimed at the action just in case, he rounds the corner and sees his three comrads, all either prone or propped up against the wall. Damn. Both Telgar and Raleigh looked bad; Zhirrzh was probably hit by a stunner. Kneeling down to the techex and pulling his medkit from his pack, he tries to do what he can to relieve the pain.

    The 4th pirate, weak and in pain, returns fire with his laser pistol.

    Out of the corner of his eye, Brenon caught flashes of slashing blades as they reflected off of the lights. Hearing the Pirate scream in pain as several of the slashes hit home, Brenon gained new respect for the furry warriors. In the firefight of the trees, they were not that effective, due to the long range firing. But in close quarters, these Kurabanda were extremely viscious. Pirate 3 drops to the floor in a crash as a very strong swipe cuts deeps into his shoulder blade. Once he hits the floor, the warriors smother him with bites and hacks from their blades.

    Brenon makes a quick survey of the hallway. All pirates were taken down. Hearing the screams of the Kurabanda in the living quarters, he rushes in. Once again the savagery of the Kurabanda warriors make an impression on this human enforcer. Pirates were dead all around, weapons in hand. Sure, that frag grenade left many of them stunned and he left the fight to them. But how long was he in the corridor? Surely not even half a minute. Dead Pirates lay scattered all over the room, the floor pools of blood. There seems to be one pirate remaining, and he is surely doomed. Surrounded by hacking Kurabanda, Brenon then recognizes the victim. It is Amar. Brenon wasn't sure if the pirate assaulted the Kurabanda, or if the monkey men were in such a battle rage that they lunged out at him as well. With the hatred in their screams, in their fanged snarls, Brenon couldn't help but feel pity for the terrified human, Amar, if there was a fight in him, was nothing but a cowering ball, yelling in agony as each blade hit home. Even if he wanted to, Brenon knew he would not be able to pull the frenzied Kurabanda away. It is obvious the Kurabanda despise the 'demons from the sky'.

    Quickly, the pirate's screams cease. The Kurabanda look around the room for anyone else that may have escaped the blade. One lays eyes on Brenon and instintively draws back with his blade. Brenon steps back and raises his disruptor. Once the battle frenzy passes from the Kurabanda's face and recognizes the human, he drops his blade, seemingly forgets the encounter, and continues his search for any pirate that may still be alive in the room. Brenon lowers his weapon as well and is left to ponder the event.

OOC
    All Pirates have been defeated. The only survivor is "Red Eye", who was the original Pirate in the hall. Felled by Zhirrzh's needler, he is unconscious in the corridor. You survived another one. The unfortunate cleanup thing now is Kah'liss can't provide medical attention until at least the next sundown; Medical attention was attempted just a few hours ago.

So, tell me what you want to do from here. The outpost is yours.

Zhirrzh, you're stunned for another couple minutes, but we're out of 6 second turn mode now, so you can recover and give your suggestions...
