Void shields, eh? What's more fun, the certainty that the shields will work as long as he remains close to the battlesuit or the certainty that the battlesuit will attract the most bullets?
So was pondering tohyo as he kept reading over his dataslate, which, as always, was a pain to read through the gask mask connected to his bionic lungs. It took Tohyo quite a bit to realize that everyone had been waiting for him, and who knows what could the friendly cyclops do if he wasted more of their time.
"Oh, my apologies, open away, let's make haste"
He stood up as he grabbed his lasgun and hung the strap over his head, ready to go out

"Alright, good luck everyone!"
with that, the inner airlock door seals, and after a minute, the outer hatch opens, the deathly fog drifting in. According to the map they're currently in sector F, supposedly a residential area given the presence of so many small homes and apartment complexes. Sector G is north of here; a fairly large parks and recreational district. The first things they see in the immediate vicinity are a few dilapidated houses, and some sort of lone dog-like creature with mangey patches of fur and an overly log tail with a few spines poking out from it, in addition to the few coming out where the beast's spine is...presumably. it seems distracted by a decomposing carcass of...something...probably better to not examine it closely.

Iris's eye waters a bit as just enough of the mist gets through her film to annoy her, but she has no trouble breathing in the polluted air... if she's even breathing at all. The childish cyclops is first to step outside proper, quickly shifting to one side of the door to allow the battlesuit through as she scans the area. "Think I see a mutt out here... if it's close enough for that, we might be in trouble already. Raising defensive shell. Who's got a light?" She unslings her rifle as she speaks, a thicker wave of that golden light rising from her feet now as she taps deeper into that nameless power. Spreading AT Field now; good thing I don't really have a lot to do with my Quintessence anyway. AP 3+4 on all locations, Aura 4.

Fortunately, the hound doesn't seem to notice the shimmering light, too distracted with its free meal to look up.

Ah yes, the smell of Enwai, the smell of work, the smell of #$%&! Following behind, Tohyo was busy looking at the directions on the map on his dataslate to care about the animal "We should go straight for the marked spot where the survey team was attacked. The dog may not be harmless, but I really advise against doing anything that will call attention, who knows what may be lurking around these ruins that could be attracted by the sound of gunfire."
He looked at his companions "In other words, if anyone can take care of it silently that would be the best idea"
Tohyo then proceeded to try to enhance his vision with magic, as he had been acustomed to do after landing Casting fettered Geiger Eyes

Braun takes a couple of steps forward before stopping. The suits display preparing for the scan while doing so.

our two diver's contrasing means of scanning the area both yield worse results than expected. not that they don't see anything, rather, the thing they see is something disheartening. A large figure further down the road approaching the mutt. Quadrupedal, with a large horn coming out its forehead and reaching out forwards. it scrapes at the ground before rushing forwards, skewering the mutt which lets out an ear curdling whine...some howls that sound distressingly close then ring out, seemingly in response to the mutt's deathrattle. Meanwhile the bull-rhino seems to stare down the big armored man, scraping a trunk-like foot on the ground (literaly. why does this thing have bark on its legs??)
everyone, roll initiative.
edit: the initiatives:
Von Braun: 17 Noelle: 16 iris: 15 bull-rhino: 13 Tohyo: 10 Mora: 9

Mora glances at her hammer, then at the gun holstered at her hip. Not particularly sneaky weapons. Not to mention, she's not particularly sneaky. It's doubtful, at that, she'd manage to take down the hound with just one strike from her hand pick. All said, she'd normally leave random beasties like this alone, especially when they're minding their own business like this. Just good practice.
"Can't make ye any promises about bein' quiet with it. Quick, maybe, but not quiet. Ask me though, best we just leave the beastie alo-" Mora says, before abruptly cutting herself off in surprise at a fecking rhinoceros brutally goring the dog out of nowhere. "Ah feck!?"

Iris passes a similar look at her own rifle, knowing from experience that the revolver has a rather loud bark... and neither one of them, likely, would compare to the spell that had gotten her packed off down here to start with. She didn't have a choice but to go loud! And bright! And-
"...ah, balls!" She jumps at the sudden goring, eye wide as she takes in the new beast. "Okay, not good!"

Braun stands firm at the sight of the rhino... tree... thing. His feet firmly planted onto the ground and clenches his left fist as it begins to spark with power. Slowly, he pulls his fist back preparing for the charging beast quickly gaining speed. Doing a Hold Action for a Vehicle Melee Attack when the rhino gets close to me

"Don't worry lads, its vision is based on movement, if you stand completely still it won't detect us"

Noelle takes a deep breath and steels her resolve. The presence of those nearby her gives her enough confidence to take initiative. But the sound of the hound mewling from its demise snaps her out of her thoughts. Oh, it seems she has taken too long trying to be assertive. "I...I can help." she mutters while stepping away from the giant armor. The Tiefling levels her arm towards the beast and begins channeling frigid energy through the limb, just as she has done several times before. Cold vapor begins to emanate from her arm. She takes care not to pour in too much power, reminding herself that she's not alone. Willpower to overcome derangement: 24, 12, 1 = 37
Half Move away from Von Braun, then casting Stalagmite
Focus power test (Fettered): 11, 6, 3 = 20
Ranged touch: 8, 7, 5, 5, 5, 4, 2, 1 = 25

"...oh hey, good idea!" Iris half-mimics the reindeer, though her own arm crackles with static instead as she levels it toward the beast, and more than a bit uncaring about her own output as she wills it to discharge with an ominous SNAP-CRACK toward the tree-beast, before falling in behind the battlesuit. "Be my shield, old man!" Focus Power (Unfettered, Spell Might): [8,3]+10 = 21 vs. TN 15 (Shock) Ranged Touch: [6,5,5,4,1] = 16 Damage: [8,3,1]+2 = 13 E, Shocking
Half-action to get behind Von Braun.

(i'll type this in quick since not a lot happens)
the icy wave freezes the bull--rhino--tree, keeping it still as Iris' electric attack strikes true, frying some of the beast's hide. It bellows in pain and flexes its muscles to shatter its way out of the ice, and starts marching towards von braun, moving 12 meters towards him, meaning it is now 8 meters away from him.
(in game-talk; it got snared, failed the initial save, passed the break-out save, and used the remaining half action to half-move towards von braun)

"tsk"
Figures that a group of exalts wouldn't be nearly as dumb as some random kobold miners to fall for the old "movement vision" blunder "Winds of victory, I summon thee, boon!" Boon casting, result=26, everyone gets +1k0 to their next attack roll "Let me know when you are done with it"Tohyo readied his lasgun, but he expected that he wouldn't really need to use it
