Turn one saw points 1 and 6 leap into life and a shield appear.

After some movement my First Mate tried to activate a power, but after falling short with roll he chose to spend two points of Health to get it to pass.... And the robot fluffed the roll.

After each turn 1 bloater and 1 Plague soldier entered play from random board edges. But the shield dropped because the two points activated were next to eachother... After another slow progression a bloater exploded and the team took some damage.

Several fluffed shots later and the frustration mounted, but thankfully the Commando can throw a grenade when he needs to a destroyed a bloater. The shield failed to generate again, but nothing is stemming the flow of zombies each turn.

Zombies popping up behind us is slowing us down and we're taking hits, the powers just being slightly harder to activate than the Captain is really telling. The beams stayed down yet again. But they spark into life in the next turn, briefly cutting Mallardy off from the rest of the party

I kept trying to hurry my team forward, knowing that the zombies keep coming, but find ourselves being countered and having to bring my team back together to gang up on an persistent Bloaters.

The barrier drops, the physical loot wasn't unlocked at the first attempt, but the damage we're taking has dictated that we won't be heading for the data loot in the other corner. We need to get to the exit ASAP

Just when we were going to make some progress the barrier penned us in our half of the table, the physical loot was finally opened, but a zombie soldier popped up and reduced the his health to just 2...

And even when I brought C3FO down to project him from a second shot... Another zombie soldier from the other side of the map got off a lucky shot and dropped his health to zero... The robot splats the soldier zombie that first shot Mallardy with a crit headshot as if in retaliation.

With the Captain down to single digits health and plenty of zombie soldiers in play he activated his energy shield.

The shield shifted to give the team more movement towards the door and, as if fate foretold it, Mihaan Vars took 4 points of damage that thankfully 3 were saved by the energy shield.
