The shooter is hit in the arm by a flanker.

He goes down.

Now let's go look into that hatch they wanted to look into:
Hua opens the hatch as fire opens up in the hatch directly below! She sees the firing guard hit, and another guard waiting underneath with a laser.

I switch back to my gun and take a turn to aim. They're, what, 10 m/yds away? I'll fire thrice at the uninjured guard's head (that'd be his face if facing towards me, skull if facing away [MA137 notes that penalty depends facing]):

Beam Weapons (+6-4-5=-3)
3d6 <= 12
4 + 4 + 5 = 13 ... failure
I missed! If I can try that again (including the aim), I will.

No, They're 10 feet directly below you. The hatches are stacked, and you are looking down the top one and they have the ladder folded out and are standing on it.

Well, I guess mind control can't solve EVERY problem. Is the shooter disabled by the hit, or is he still up? If the former, Daymar is going to move closer. If the latter, then Daymar will take a shot at him.

He dropped his laser riffle and popped back below the deck.

Oh, well then that reduces the range penalty down to -2, so I scored two potential hits (and one miss)

Damage
3d6
1: 1 + 5 + 4 = 10
2: 4 + 4 + 5 = 13
Well, assuming skull hit and using a helmet, that's 12 points of damage. A face hit's probably worse.

Okay, in that case Daymar will advance towards where he was shot.

The uninjured guard slams the hatch shut as Hua is aiming!


Daymar moves forward, as do the guards flanking.

I'll hop down to the hatch and open it back up again!

He continues up to the hatch, keeping an eye out for any other attackers. If he gets a glimpse of one of the attackers he will either shoot (if it's far) or attempt Suggestion (if it's close).
