The few remaining bugs exit the room at breakneck speed, leaving the room silent save for the echoing of Kyle's rage.
A fog spreads as liquid nitrogen is flushed through the barrel of Kyle's energy cannon; and a mechanical voice reports "Power cells at 34%, Heat Level restored to safe operating levels, E-Cannon functionality restored."
The other marine who was supposed to be here staggers into the room - it looks like he's fucked something up with his suit and is having trouble moving. "Trooper Vanstein here, ready for action, though I guess I missed it. Goddamn power-assist servos aren't working right, I can barely get the damn legs to move.
The briefing for this simulation said we should prepare for a counterattack in force - I suppose we should set up a defensive perimeter or something tactical-y like that. Any orders, Corporal?"

"Um.... Right... well Set up and... uh... Perimeter! Yeah and dig some foxholes and stuff..... I'll be over there watching for the enemy if you need me!"Kyle picks up a shovel and hastily moves away from the others, letting out a sigh of relief that he handled that so well!

A series of foxholes are dug, each trooper in his own hole of suitably deep proportions, which should provide ample cover from ranged fire.
Vanstein pauses from checking the extra magazines for his slug rifle and says "Say, Corporal? Wouldn't it be hard to fight off a bug that leapt on you while you were in one of these holes? I mean, I could certainly be wrong, I've never actually fought a bug dirtside, my prior posting was in a boarding unit, clearing out bug spacecraft. Magnetoboots, Flechette Shotguns and all those other fun things; but no foxholes."

"It might be, I've never allowed the bugs to get that close."

"I say let them TRY!" He laughs maniacally. "I'd love to rip them apart, WITH MY BARE HANDS!"

"... Are you going to take off your suit's gloves, or?
Err, nevermind, we've got incoming on the motion sensors! Lock and load, everyone!"
NFA rolls for dominance, as before. You can take your +1 here, or in the first round, Corporal Kyle.

"Be ready!"
My +1 gives me 4 NFA, and I get a 2 on my check.
