Problem is, nothing we do can stop SM from showing up. If we run, there's nothing stopping Starlancer from hitting SM with Twilight. And if SM gets purged, I'd rather it be as part of something to reduce Starlancer into a fine ash that she can't be resurrected from.
I suggest we get another level of Versatility of Form and equip Laser, which lets us trade actions for additional damage on the same attack. (What exactly is the math for Laser, anyway?) I'm not going to recommend trying to signal to our allies anything, because Starlancer has Signal Processing and it's hailing out, so visual, radio, and shouting will only alert Starlancer to our backup. Unless Summit happens to have Coroner's Heavy Particle Projectors we can't actually signal them.
