Log 2-7
At station 1, Viper fires his EM rifle at one of the mutants...but it jumps sideways and rolls adroitly to the side. Its diamonds light up as the beam touches it, but it does not appear to be injured. It launches itself at Viper.
Fault takes the handgun and turns toward the mutants just as one jumps to pounce on Viper.
Ted is aiming to fire at another mutant.
Snow finishes hooking up his EM Rifle to the machine, mumbling, "I think it will work."
Elle says, "Stand away from the machine in case it blows!"
At station 2, the mutant launches itself at Mitose...
Seeing the way clear, the rest of the party hops into the train.
Mitose tries a judo maneuver to throw the mutant past him...but he fails. The creature claws out at him, but his attempted maneuver throws off the creature's aim. They both turn to face each other about ten feet apart. Mitose is now between the creature and the train, which is about 20 feet away.
The others clamber into the train car and look at the control panel. It consists of a single lever (presumably for traction and braking control), a reversing key, a small numeric and symbol keypad, and an LCD flat panel graphic/alphanumeric display (as in a laptop computer). The display appears to be used in conjunction with the keypad to control doors, reset alarms of various sorts, display train speed and braking information, etc. A direction indicator on the display indicates that currently the train will go forward toward station 3, directly into the approaching monstrous creature.
Laz, Lot, Sam, and Jade are in the train. Mitose is 20 feet just outside the door. The mutant is about 10 feet from him, and the second mutant is climbing up onto the far side of the platform another 15-20 feet from that.
