Does the terminal have any info on where the ingredients are coming from or is that pretty much all that I can get from this terminal?

Once I'm done with the terminal, I''ll head back to the entrance we came in and set up a mini-cam to watch for anything trying to get out that way, then head for the cargo entrance to do the same there. I'd like to head for the cargo entrance as sneakily as possible so when that is going to happen let me know so I can roll, or I trust Pantsu to roll it (usual Sneak + Hide action) for me if he wants to keep things rolling.

Also, Eraser is going to take Dirk's sugestion, and use his knives to remove the low wave's head.

Yes, it amuses him.

There are a few places you can see where you could corner them, but from what you've seen having them run away won't be a problem. There's a few bottlenecks where there's walkways that a human or Stormer (at a push) could fit in, but not the Low-Wave. For reference, one of the Low-Waves lumbers into view beneath you, covered in gore. It doesn't seem to have noticed you, but it is heading towards Dirk and Eraser.

EDIT: There was another page I hadn't noticed. Deject, this terminal only looks to have reports and a bit of HR stuff on it. In order to get to the cargo entrance (not the cargo lift to the store room), you'll have to pass through the factory floor.

I'll risk it. If nothing else, I can keep my distance from any Low Waves since my running speed is much higher, and I can climb pretty well with my fancy armor suit.

Assuming that Deej tells us there is a Low Wave lumbering towards us (Deej, tell us there is a Low Wave lumbering towards us!), I think me and Grimmie should get into good shooting positions with easy escape routes (as determined by his tictacs roll), and Eraser can then attack it from behind with melee.

Do you reckon we should try crippling this one for capture? We'd be on -3 for aiming at the legs, but we still get a + bonus for its size.

I wasn't the one in position to see that I thought. I was looking at a terminal at that point.

Ah, maybe it's Grimmie that can see it.

Grimmie, Grimmie - warn us!

I'll do what the space-elf has told me to do. And warn him of impending doom.

Hearing Grimmie shout, and not really having any specifics, I shall throw a detect roll and let the GM say if I face the right direction:

Roll(2d10)+4:
6,5,+4
Total:15

The Low-Wave rounds the corner below Grimmie and is heading the way Dirk and Eraser went. It isn't moving very fast.

I'm still going to head for the cargo bay whatever.

Sneak (4): 6, 7 + 4 = 17
Hide (4): 4, 7 + 4 = 15

Detect (4): 1, 8 + 4 = 13

Oh right, crap. I'm totally not on the ball here at all.
Can I get into a firing stance and start aiming at its head?

Go for the torso - easier to hit and that's where its brain is.

It wont be able to see if it doesn't have a face, right?
Doesn't the torso also have the most hitpoints?

According to a thing I read:

Brain is in chest cavity – damaging the head will not kill it. Slow nervous system – unless the torso is destroyed, the Low Wave will not actually shut down until 3 rounds after it loses all its hits.
