Khlan screeched as another blaster shot nearly nailed him before the invisible foe turned his weapon on the others. Frantically, khlan skittered across the floor like some kind of rodent, hearing the shout of 'take cover'.
Dice roll: 13/20
If one word could be used to describe the gank, it was lucky. Three words used by several crossed beings would be ' lucky jawa scum' , but there is no use dwelling on such harsh connotations.
Khlan certainly demonstrated his luck when he rolled under some rubble from a ceiling tile and an overturn table. The fire from the explosion licked at the gank's exposed skin, and he would suffer from some minor burns, but no permanent damage.
Hunter-3 exploded into numerous pieces of metal and flesh. His invisibility had been rendered useless, as the anti-tank missile had completely destroyed his disguise matrix and set most of his fur alight. Ironically, where his parts scattered in the room, the only traces of them were the fires that seemed to burn around the shadows of the defel covered limbs.
Still, despite the explosion, and as a testament of the akranian's enginuity, Hunter 3 lived for a few moments longer. Little more than an upper torso of flesh and metal, part of a metal arm and a head, with face completely melted off, Hunter-3 crawled forward slightly. Part shadow, part fully visible, the last person he saw was trodai. With bleeding gums and one broken eye, the cyborg whispered its final phrase as it tried to get closer in a vain attempt to attack.
"Xeno filth."
He dragged himself two more times before both his artificial and organic internal organs failed all together.
Khlan popped out of his hides hole, coughing from the smoke.
"That..." khlan almost shouted as he beated his chest to get out the worst of the smoke. "...is why I hire people! Hehe, lets see magic do that!"
Khlan coughed a few more times before the entire room shuddered. Khlan looked around in slight fear of the building collapsing, or at least the room. After a few moments, it seemed to settle.
"Alright, we need to keep moving. And for future reference, I'd like at least one specimen more in tact. Come on, I'm not waiting for this room to collapse."
" Hunter 3, report" Hunter 1 radioed in his comm. All he reviewed was static.
With a sigh, he returned to his work. Deep in the basement of the lab, he had found the power generators and begun to reactivate them. One switch after another, the generators began to whirring to life.
"Hunter 2, I'm sending power to your area..." Hunter 1 reported. "Comrade was unable to report numbers of intruders. Advise to start up the Defects "
"Negative comrade. If started without proper codes, their autocontrols will deem us an enemies" Hunter 2 radioed back.
"Override that thought process. Utilize stealth and lead the Defects towards any advisories. It'll be easier to shut them down then any invaders.
"Affirmative Comrade. Activating Defects 1-20. The revolution lives on"
"The revolution lives on" echoed Hunter 1 as he pulled another lever. Soon, the entire lab would begin to hum with life. The emergency lights would start first. Later Hunter 1 would get everything else working properly.

Ooc: have an idea for what the "defects" are. Will allow you guys to set up what the next area will be with your next posts, and then will introduce the enemy.
