Next round resolutionBlackHat[ Spoiler ]
Okay, yeah, it looks like Cerberus is down. Kyle helped Sledge drag Fort into the interior. Sledge's AR display shows you exactly where Angel is.
In his own spoiler, Dire also had his character stabilize Fort - Kyle helped drag him through the curtains and found all the autodocs and supplies one could want, though no staff.
I think this is great - and the reason I wanted spoilers - it seems realistic that the two of you would both try to save him.
In game terms, you can keep your Edge - Sledge succeeded, and you added teamwork dice. But fluff it how you like - though Sledge has Biotech and you don't, so probably best to let her take the lead.
Staying as close to the floor as possible, Kyle, Sledge, and Smith all drag Fortunato into the clinic proper and past the curtains. There they find a treatment room - and though it is in shambles after Cerberus' rhino-like charge through there, they find everything they need, and over the course of the next several seconds manage to stabilize the mage.
Fortunato stabilized at 2 boxes of Physical overdamage.

All I have to go on for resolving an cybercombat attack through an unalerted hub node against a jumped-in/in-combat rigger is common sense, so don't take this as precedent-setting -
But you and the Crack Sprite catch the guy totally flat-footed - surprise + superior position + friend in melee. You kill him dead in the first tandem attack.
Fluff his node however you like. In my resolution post I'll only give the paraphrase of your triumphant message so you can write the exact line yourself in IC.
From his position on the floor, Cerberus sees the drone ascend and stop firing. Almost immediately after the shooting stops (and while all still frantically doing an "ER" scene on Fort, the team network comes to life with Angel announcing that the rigger is down and the vehicles under her control.
What we will do next1) Each of the six of you will write an IC post describing the scene from your own (or whatever other) point of view from wherever you want to start up to either your unconsciousness or Angel's announcement.
If anyone is not inclined to write such an IC post (it's a game, not homework), just let me know and I will be happy to do it for you.
A couple of directorial notes:
I would very much appreciate it if you carefully review the Resolution posts before ICing to keep things accurate.
That said, it is inevitable there will be POV contradictions - that is totally fine, since each of your characters will remember things differently. I know the "reality" and if anyone ever needs clarification on that OOC I will be happy to help. While all of your characters have at some point experienced violence, for most of you this was the first full-on firefight. Some will recall the experience as little more than a blur, or everything will be compressed into an eyeblink and they'll swear it only lasted a couple of seconds. For others, it will seem like an hour has passed since those guys walked into the clinic. Depending on where you count from, the battle took 15-18 seconds.
So even if there are some contradictions or misperceptions, I will not ask for edits on your IC unless I REALLY NEED IT for some reason or another.
2) Once all six IC posts are up, I will book-end it with IC and OOC posts describing the aftermath moment that follows the end of fighting.
3) As soon as each of you puts up your IC - or alternatively you can wait for my post - I need a general, non-bullet-time OOC of what your general intentions are for the "MOP UP" portion (always such a bore for the GM).
4) Once I have those OOC posts, we should be able to slip back into normal free-posting back & forth play.
Nice job everyone - those guys were some serious badasses, striking first with a well-coordinated and concentrated assault, while half you guys were already wounded and Edge-depleted, and scattered around different locations.
Great stuff.
Lotta fun.
