You gotta love armoured thigh-highs.
Having two Selva on board is gonna get really confusing for the crew. They'll probably assume Terra to be male, trying not to make the same mistake again.

It was then that Gregor realized this really wasn't going anywhere. The ease with which Arthur took out the dragoness meant that he or Adrian wouldn't do much better. He'd been avoiding entering melee range for fear of Arthur's electric powers, but if he was going to achieve anything, especially with one ally down, bum rushing it and hoping for the best was his only shot. This resurrection stuff better work, he thought, before sprinting towards Arthur's position. Just as he was about to pounce, he unleashed his fire breath at point-blank range, blasting a torrent of flame down upon Arthur and Evvie as he leapt to full-body tackle the former.
If only she could keep fighting despite being technically dead, Rock Lee style. She'd just be too dumb to realize.
Okay, to summarize the debate we had in chat. Hopefully i remember this all correctly.
Yes, Isaac can turn on the shields, which block all solid matter, including living beings. However, the doors being open causes the cling shield to have a local malfunction, allowing crewmembers and potentially attackers to enter or exit.
The turrets have no auto-targeting system, but they do have video feed, allowing Isaac to effectively control them. The actual gunner crew is on board, but Isaac might get a few shots off before they can get to their stations. That's for Drake to judge, i guess. The turrets are pherza machine guns, meant mostly for use against fighters and other small spacecraft. They're mounted to the sides of the Exeralune, so only one can currently fire at the attackers.

Me holding back in fear of electrocution while my character is primarily a melee fighter is also a factor.
And yes, just punt him in the nuts. Even Arthur's super durability can't save him from that!

Yeah, with Drall gone unresponsive, i think i'll just suicide charge Arthur to get it over with.
I guess what we've learned here is how big the power gap between a tier 4 and 5 is. Or maybe just that electricity is a bitch.

Hey Darcs, please check out the chat before posting anything. Some stuff was discussed that may need to be acknowledged IC.
Normally i would wait for someone else before posting again, but i wanted to get this out before Nobody's next post.
Barely had he gotten the crew in position, when the Nymph showed to up shatter his plans. The crew members were more inclined to listen to her, unfortunately. Granted, she was a field commander, as he seemed to have picked up, and it’s only natural to want to get into cover from the bombardment. Gunnos wasn’t about to blindly accept her orders though, not when lives were on the line.
He broke away from his cover with the others, ran towards the entrance, but stopped right before Kukcoo, looking up at her. Dammit, the one person shorter than me has rocket boots. “Crazy Nymph!” he yelled upward, letting the anger show in his face and voice. “Ye think the ship will fare better against these bombs?? This ain’t a military vessel, and the shields are still offline. It offers fleeting protection and crowds us t’gether like target practice. If the enemy does come down, a few grenades will be the end of us!”
Gunnos had barely finished his sentence when a shard of crystal as big as a man crashed into the hangar’s roof, piercing halfway through the metal ceiling before getting stuck there. “Hmm, an unexpected circumstance.” He mumbled softly to himself, before turning back to the Nymph. “Fine, I’ll follow ye, just cause I have no choice. But if the attackers show up before the cap does, I’m blamin’ you for what happens next.”

But if the attackers show up before the cap does, I’m blamin’ you for what happens next.”
Gunnos’ attempt at conversation was cut short by the captain’s emergency announcement. By the Stone, an orbital bombardment?? If only the Furzai built their bases underground like the Korrvain, this wouldn’t be as much of a problem. He turned away from the armoured figure to see unrest rising among the rest of the crew, some taking this news better than others. He didn’t know who here was field commander or whether the field commanders were even around, but there was no time to find out. Gunnos may only be security personnel, but he knew that a bombardment rarely comes without a follow-up invasion.
Putting on his serious face, he took the hammercannon off his back, grabbed some slugs out of his pocked and started loading it, just in case. Explosions could already vaguely be heard in the background, giving credit to the captain’s warning, and they seemed to be getting closer too. “Aye!” he yelled to get the group’s attention. “I dunno who’s in charge here, but until ye reveal yeself, this is what we’re doin’. These attackers may get here before the cap’ does, and if we all stuff into the ship we’ll be cornered. You bunch,” he said, pointing at the few security members who looked most frightened. “Get inside the ship and make sure the other crew is safe. The rest of us are gonna put up a defensive formation around the ship. Any objections?”
Many of them threw him weird looks at first, as if questioning why they would take orders from a Korrvain, but no one objected. It seems they had indeed been caught without leadership at the moment. Their attackers couldn’t possibly have planned that… could they? The few he’d pointed out scurried inside to secure the entrances, while the others spread out and took cover as best they could behind the stacks of crates dotting the hangar. From then it was just waiting, and hoping that the threat wasn’t as big as he feared.
