0061 - Recovering the OT-64 - Turn 10

1030 26 JUL 2000
=============

"It was like puttin' down rabid dogs. You need to put 'em down quick and make sure that they stayed that way. Just wingin' 'em just made 'em mad. A lot of lead was flyin' but we were close to eliminating the threat. You have to keep remindin' yourself that they were long gone beyond what we called human. Just keep sayin' to yourself over and over."

The team is out of danger. Three primitives remain but two are wounded. Still, as the rules for the encounter dictate, they will just keep coming until they cannot move anymore.

[Shoot Novice Polish primitive #15 three times – Asset Level 13 – Difficult (x1 – Quick shot at close range) – Target Number 13, 12 on the last shot due to recoil – Roll(s): 18, 3, 7] - Two hits, including one outstanding success.
