....And now I will forever hear Armsmaster as Semi-Perfect Cell from DBZ: Abridged. So, uh, congrats on that.

Also, 2 thoughts:
1.) @ImmortalsBlade , I would gently agree with those saying that the Crit Succes/Failure system needs to be retweaked a bit. Some of this is due to the power imbalance present, but if we're sticking with D20, then we need to account and prepare for more Crits (of both kinds), and this last combat was maybe a bit on the "knife's edge" side.
2.) Everyone else should step back and breath. No Protectorate members died; the update says they're all 3 "severely injured", but due to the Restore Station, they're going to recover (physically) quickly. Mental scarring, well...yeah.

There's more to the consequences of the situation that just recovery time. I've mentioned in the past couple of posts what those things are, like Samus's mental state being worsened, how the PRT leaders and Protectorate are going to view deploying people to the Bay, the Gang's taking further advantage of the Protectorate being soundly beaten on top of the Wards' benching, things like that.
Additionally, 'Negligible' is a relative term. By whose standards is the time spent negligible?
Notice how one of us made their point without being condescending?
You don't know that. The Biopod clinic scenes never gave a number for how long they took.
You don't know that either. MM and D are still up in the air, things could still happen. An attack by the villains en-route, stasis failure leading to death in-transit, the present glitches in the system ending up killing someone, to name a few.
It's close. This is the kind of results you'd expect from a Slaughterhouse Nine attack. You know, the people ranked in the same threat class as Endbringers? S-class?
Yet.
Ah, that's a good point: PTSD for the entire Protectorate. And probably intense feelings of helplessness/uselessness from Miss Militia, poor dear.

I... honestly think everyone but mouse triumph and armsy will be ok.
Samus - saw a powerful enemy 'kill' her friends and family and was able to save the rest because of her skills and experience.
Assault and Battery - while more gruesome than expected, they have seen this before.
Triumph has not
MM and dauntless have faced Endbringers also they're in stasis, missing the worst of it.
Mouse is not
Armsmaster sees the result of working on his personal rig instead of outfitting his friends in good gear

Armsmaster and Samus can both spam stasis shots. Have both injured in one ride and have Armsy ride with and have samus as cover. Problem solved

Calm. Your. Self.
The paralyzer has locked them in 'can't die' mode, and the prevailing vote leaves us sitting there with them for the ride back. At least half of your fears are longshot hypotheticals and the rest are negated by the fact that the biopods were able to heal Samus of a punctured and liquified torso/face in a matter of minutes, so near-bifurcation and perforation aren't likely to take longer than 10 minutes each, and there's more than one pod besides.

@Always Late , here is the bit I spoke of:
None of them are dead. Recovery time is "negligible". Yes, again, mental trauma, but bodily they will be whole and hearty soon enough.

That's not how mental trauma works. This was clearly a 'never like this before' moment.
You missed how she's explicitly 'numb' throughout the end.
MM and Daultless were the last casualties of the fight before the ghost buggered off. They were there for the entire fight, and got the worst of both the physical and mental effects of being helpless while their comrades are slaughtered.
She teleported right to the clinic.
Ok, two problems potentially solved. What about the others?
You seem to be under the same misunderstanding the last person who made that claim was. No measure of time was given for the healing Pod when Samus went under. None.
You say that, but aren't giving alot of strong evidence to disprove them.
And they're all glitchy.
EDIT:
... what is with you people and taking an utterly generic, broadly interpretive statement as something hard and concrete?

And yet this was the basis for a lot of the post I responded to.
I think this is the pot calling the kettle black here.

Because the people who wrote the manual for the Biopods are Human, and use human definitions for things? Negligible is pretty damn far from a 'generic, broadly interpretive' statement of time.

Their Status is "Severely Injured". All 3 of them. That's pretty "hard and concrete". They need treatment but are not dead.
Considering Samus was fully healed from her injuries a couple updates ago in, what, a couple hours? It stands to reason (which is to say, a reasonable estimate) that their recovery time should be 24 hours or less.

Wish things could have gone better, but as we saw with all the Spot Checks, we needed our Teammates to watch our backs for us so we could actually end this threat. These things are essentially mini-Endbringers if they're up against the average Cape or regular human, so Nat 1s killing unarmored humans might be a prototype of what we're gonna see against real Endbringers when they start showing up.

ImmortalsBlade's gone into how remarkably different GF humanity is from both our and Earth Bet humanity. That's not a valid argument.
And that obviously wasn't what I was addressing.
Exactly. Nobody knows for sure. We don't have that manual, we don't know how long the healing went, it's all up to the QM.
You want to make that guesstimate, you're entitled to it. But the consequences of this will already be felt and reverberating around long before 24 hours is up.
Yeah, those things were pretty nasty. Undetectable at will, virtually indestructible, capable of widespread destruction.
Our newly acquired weapon aside, i think that only Scion himself could hope to stop their rampage.
We are making educated guess.
Not to mention that we could just get some biomass and have Amy solve this in short order if needs be.
I wonder about what was the warning that the Chozo Ghost gave to Samus?
Well it comes from the video game Legacy of Kain Blood Omen, which itself comes from something written by real-world occultist Aliester Crowley.
In context I think it means things are going to get pretty spooky.
Or we have a vampire problem. Do Metroids count as vampires?

Regrow limbs and organs, absolutely! Let's bring in about five-six adult pigs and that'll probably be enough biomass. Assuming Amy isn't squeamish about killing them.

On the bright side no one died and with the healing pods they will be up and running again really quickly so it's not like it will take while to heal.
Course everyone will need a trip to the therapist after this.
@ImmortalsBlade is it possible due to the their very brutal near death experiences those three capes could have possibly second triggered?
If so plus the upgrade the healing pods give to parahuman powers apparently (due to earlier updates showing how it improved Vistas' powers a good amount) I wonder what their second trigger powers would look like.
