The Adventurers watched the situation tensely, and after a few moments, Atha indicated that the group should join Tuscan and her in the main building. The adventurers decided it was a good idea to follow.
Once inside, Zaphod made a menace of himself as usual, while Carm ate everything he could get his mouth on. For their part the desert runners produced mounds of local cuisine while the whole group talked.
Max attempted to convince the desert runners that they needed to evacuate due to what was perceived as an imminent laser attack from the base. Seraphina asked about the robot in the center of the city and was told it was a remnant from a previous RAM raid. Seraphina suggested that the robot could be transmitting the location of the town and targeting information to RAM.
Atha, deferred to Seraphina’s wisdom and after delivering a speech about how the Desert runners will outlive the rest of Mars and because they know the plight of an engineered species, Atha agreed that they would help NEO to do whatever they came to do in the RAM base. With all of that being said, the adventurers were confused when the Desert Runners refused to leave the town insisting that they wait until the laser attack, if it was coming.
In the time spent waiting, Seraphina extracted the brain of the robot and Alex took it with him into the desert to the North, assuming that they were right about targeting information. The time of the laser attack came and nothing happened in the town or in the desert to the North.
As the group sat and waited for what they believed to be imminent death, everyone heard the troop carrier ships coming from the RAM base. Tuscan and Atha rallied the troops while the adventurers prepared in whatever way they could.
Zaphod spent the battle in the main hall trending any wounded that were brought in. On the walls, the desert runners and Buzz laid down fire on the approaching RAM soldiers and robots, while Max rigged the doors to the back end of the town to explode.
Seraphina spent time with the Desert Runner quarter master making quick repairs to cross bows and fashioning more armor piercing bolts in the first few minutes of the fight before heading out into the main alley to see what she could scavenge off the downed robots.
After a few minutes of intense conflict, RAM, seeing they had been bested, retreated to their ships and flew back to their base in defeat.
The adventurers spent a bit of time cleaning up the town and then rallied with Tuscan, who would lead them to the tunnels leading into the RAM base.
Once inside, the group spent a few minutes looking around before killing a soldier silently and getting ready to continue infiltrating the base.
