That there'd be. Though I don't know if there's really anything you're going to be able to do for your next turn, considering I now get to go in full retreat mode.

Good game, my friend! Despite the fact that you accomplished all of your objectives, I still did a bit better than I thought I might. Perhaps I can join your training match?
Rushing into the room, Adam gave the woman cover as she made for Ronan’s unconscious form. He was a heavy man, and for many would have been too much. Fortunately for him, Gamora was far from what one could call ‘weak’ in so many meanings of the word, physical strength included. While it pushed her to take the man with him at a speed acceptable to escape the Skrulls, Adam’s cover fire allowed her to get out of the room scott-free. Adam was no so lucky, as a shot intended for Gamora went his way instead, though fortunately he was able to handle the worst of it.

Rather, I could tell that Gamora had every intention of fighting the Skrulls as long as she was able – She knew her limits, and with my continued assistance, she saw her limits increased dramatically.
By now, Mantis had just begun to come to, but was still quite out of it.
“I’ll take him.”
Relieving Ronan from Gamora, he lifted the large kree over his shoulders, carrying him on his back. As he shot another blast off towards the Skrulls to keep them back, Gamora helped Mantis to her feet, taking one of her arms over her shoulders to support her weight and help her stand.

I’ll deal with those consequences as they come.
Heading for the door, Adam reached to add the stranger to his load, but before he could do so, Gamora picked him up first and threw him over her shoulder. He was not nearly as heavy as Ronan, and even with Mantis she was still able to move easier.
------------------
As the two made their way inside the Skrull halls, they took extra precautions to avoid being seen, not an easy task in the least. With three people to carry between the two of them, they were in no position to fight off additional Skrulls.
“We need to find Mar-Vell, find out where his ship is.” Adam said.
“Here.” Mantis stated, taking a communicator that she had hidden on her, given to her by Princess Annelle before she had joined Adam on his personal mission. Handing it to Gamora, she tossed it up to Adam, who caught it with surprising ease.
“Mar-Vell? Annelle? Are you there?”
It was a moment before a response came. As they rounded a corner, a pair of Skrull guards spotted them, and opened a couple shots. They went wide, and Adam blasted the ceiling in front of them to block their path, but also forced them to take another direction.
”Adam?” came the voice on the other end, that of Mar-Vell.
”We have what we came for, where can we find your ship?” ”You have perfect timing. Annelle insisted we remain longer, but things have gotten too intense here. Had you taken much longer, we would have been forced to leave you behind.”
“We have an additional guest as well.”
As the pair of Adam Warlock and Gamora burst out an exit, they were surprised to find themselves storm right out of the frying pan and into the fire, as the particular exit they had chosen led them straight into the pathway of a large assembled band of highly trained and highly dangerous Skrull soldiers, who looked like they had assembled as part of the planetary search for Annelle.

But before all five of them could be given a chance to surrender or die, a large ship flew by, weapons fire in pursuit. As it neared the location of the Skrull targets, Adam Warlock, Gamora, Mantis, Ronan, and the mysterious stranger all vanished, safely aboard the ship.
Blasting through the atmosphere, it quickly reached a safe jump point and escaped.

Yes, I know Mantis took one more click than he has health this game so will be fighting down one, but I see it as an RP choice - While Vance is available, he's not exactly up to fighting skill yet, plus there's that figuring out what's going on thing.
Being frozen like that has a tendency to do things to people.
I discovered I made a mistake with my team TXP/TAP points, so I went back and recalculated them, and it appears my total TXP should be 190 rather than 67. It appears the error was with counting my starting TXP as TAPs instead.
I'm not going to edit it into the point listing on this thread, but It'll show up at the end of my next issue.
