Boom pulls out the grenade launcher and loads it with frag grenades. He begins firing into the first group, aiming for the front, hoping to scare some of the attackers away. Hopefully the attackers still have some rational thinking and will try to avoid the explosions. His grenade arcs up and towards the mandodemons, landing right in the middle of the forward group. The blast send trees and plants all over the place, leaving a big pile of dirt where the grenade landed

Mandodemons fly into pieces in all directions the other mandodemons march right over the newly formed crater and continue their path.
Sigurd notes that Dr. Brunou (Who is locking them inside the bunker) still holds his package close in one arm. He seems unwilling to let it go even to work the blast door controls.

Gammer runs the Speeder before the wolves using his cannon to cut into the front line. He spins the speeder and drives up the fortification landing on top of the bunker.
Analia and Sasha keep firing but it is too much for Makio she runs down the fortification toward the bunker. Her e-web is now unmanned.

Stev thinks he sees an opening, and directs Jessa to that path as well.
Mechanics: Simple Survival Check 2P1B. Result 1 triumph 2 successes. Should a Piloting (Planetary) check come next?
----
Sivu comms "There are far too many on each side for us to handle. However, I believe we can force them to handle themselves. All available hands, enter the excavation vehicles and force the two armies to collide with each other instead of us. Making them kill each other is our only chance of survival."
Sivu then follows his own advice and climbs into the excavation vehicle Analia is on. He'll attempt to push the ground to divert the Mandodemons to either side of the base, instead of attacking the center.

Sivu jump on and the EV begins to run down the dirt fortification. Analia stays at the e-web and is firing on any mandodemons who get close.
Gammer runs for the e-web Makio left open and jumps in the EV begining to get it started.
Sasha drops into the driver's seat of hers and begins rolling and Sola yells from the back that she is insane and they are going to die.
EV will roll a simple pilot planetary and their success will become the difficulty for the Mandodemons discipline check to be redirected.
Boom could join one of them or do something else.
Makio makes it into the bunker as Dr. Brunou closes the blast door.
Stev and the ULAV's are 4 rounds from arriving if they don't crash make a medium piloting check with 2 setbacks (darkness and jungle).
Either Jessa or Amura are driving. If it is Amura roll for the medium piloting check with 2 setbacks.

Sivu quickly discerns how to operate the EV, and then begins plowing dirt in the path of the Mandodemons.
Mechanics: Piloting (Planetary) Check 3A. Result 3 successes 1 advantage.
----
Stev shoots through the forest at full speed, weaving between trees and coaxing every last bit of speed out of the aging ULAV. "We're coming scout team. We just need a little more time."
Mechanics: Piloting (Planetary) Check 2P2A1B vs 2D2S. Net result 1 triumph 2 successes.

Amura driving, unskilled but is a career skill. 4G= 3 success, 1 advantage vs 2purp 1 fail. Will pass on advantage to any who need.
SIgurd will go with trying to make a perception on what is going on with Dr. B and package. 2G= 1 advantage.

Amura puts a few dents on the ULAV on the way to the HQ. He falls behind a bit but the signal on Stev's vehicle gives him something to follow.
-------
Sigurd knows that closing the door keeps anyone else but falling back to the protection of the bunker. He notes the package is the same size and shape as the Plaque they where briefed about before leaving the FarStar. It is probably a part of the cursed ruins of Aariss. He heard stories of the ghosts of Aariss as a child. Warriors locked in eternal battle on a forsaken and cursed planet. As a man of science he put these away as childhood superstitions. Now the ghosts of Aariss are real and charging his crew.
Makio enters the bunker as the door closes. "Okay crazy man how have you survived these creatures for days? How do we survive."
Dr. Brunou looks to her,"Do what we are doing hide until dawn. They leave at dawn."
-------
Sivu and the trucks begin pushing and forcing the mandodemons east around the fort. They come in sight of the wolfdemons.
Stev and Theta hears in their minds as the mandodemons quicken their pace to an organized triple time and move to enagage the wolfdemons. 'They can not have victory. It must be ours. Forward."
Sivu and the rest see the mandodemons rush at the Wolfdemons. The first of their lines meet in a brutal clash.
Stev can hear Samarion's howl in the distant jungle behind him followed by rough growling howls of hundreds.
8 minutes left.

PD13s Pit Droids come on line with 6 minutes to the wave hits. They power down and turtle hoping they are far enough below ground to survive.

Sivu begins to drive the EV back towards the protected bunker. "If my enemies are content to exterminate each other for me, then I am content as well. Let us not be in the crossfire of their conflict."
----
Stev calls out to Theta "I know you hear their orders, but we can't listen to them. Our duty is to our team and our mission. We're here as rescuers, not conquerors. Stay focused."

Boom here Sivu's orders. Looking around he notices the trees near the bunker eastern side blocking the path between the mandodemons and the wolfdemons. Since the explosion didn't stop the mandodemons, perhaps if he opens a path for them to the woldemons, they will bypass the bunker. He loads another grenade and aims for the treeline. He hits and uproots several trees. Now there is nothing blocking the two ancient enemies from getting to each other.
Mechanics: Gunnery 4A vs 2D = Net 2 Success 1 Advantage

As the trees fall and burn you see pale withered Mandos rush at the Klavassan Wolves. Sivu and the rest pull back to the bunker as the groups merge into a mass of brutal hand to claw combat. The EV begins the drive back to the fortification.
----
Inside the bunker Makio steps near the door,"So how do the rest survive if we lock the blast door."
"The fools don't survive."
"What about Sola?"
"She was foolish enough to be caught and is an acceptable loss."
------
Stev and Theta are at the clearing racing through the rushing wolfdemons with Amura behind them. The demons turn and charge their vessel howling in rage as the bite and slam against the cockpit canopy. The ULAV begins to slow as 5 then 10 then almost 20 crawl on the surface. The belly of the ULAV is starting to scrape the ground.
Amura's ULAV catches up with no wolfdemon paying him any notice.
------
Is PD13 writing his last will and testament on a cocktail napkin just in case this does not go well?

Sivu will search the area for anything useful, whether it's a datapad with info on the planet or some defenses they didn't notice at first.
Mechanics: Perception Check. Rolling simple, can add difficulty as needed. 1P2A. Result 1 triumph 3 successes.
----
Stev comms "Keep heading for the scouts! I'll get there as fast as I can!" "Theta, use that turret to keep any more from joining the party, I can handle the ones already here!"
Stev spots a low-hanging branch that could scrape some wolves off of the ULAV. The problem is, it'd be almost impossible to scrape them off without scraping off a chunk of the ULAV as well. He mutters "Well, I don't have any better ideas." and flies straight under the branch, causing wolves to collide with it and fly off the hull. As he goes, he hears a loud scrape as the ULAV's bottom hits a few roots jutting from the dirt.
Mechanics: Perception Check 2P vs 3D1S. Net result 1 success 2 threats. Using threats to add a setback to the Piloting (Planetary) Check.
Piloting (Planetary) Check 2P2A vs 2D1S. Net result 3 successes 1 threat. Using threats to give the ULAV 1 Strain.

Except for the relay satellite overhead and the Imperial Supply Depot giving a signal he does not find much more on this side of the planet.
Theta tries to turn and fire the turret and is only able to do one. The mass of bodies on it does not allow it to turn he fires helplessly in one direction.
Amura and Jessa's ULAV has arrived in the clearing and see a dog pile of wolfdemons on Stev and Theta's ULAV.
The ULAV's systems show red from the strain of moving with the amount of weight on them and it settles into the wet marshy ground unable to keep moving.
------
Makio looks around the bunker and rolls one of the sleeping bunks in between the closing blast door. As she pushes it the Doctor yells no. Sigurd see him raise the triangular package and slam it down onto Makio's head. She is still standing but is shaken by the blow.
