What, you don't need it?

We're not looking for you. There's a whole squad of invisible enemies with grenades and lasers hiding behind you.

Well, basically...
Angus donned a prototype of new, white armor; Jerrod grabbed a dark blue blade, and risked cutting himself with it, as he didn't have a scabbard. Laurent took the ring with a sapphire, Gerda with a diamond.
Wenling fully recovers his health during this time.
Remind me about the tablets and other items, as I somehow missed that moment.
The group reaches the landing pad. The SVVP could hold up to 6 people, and both planes could accommodate that many. Deciding what to do next, the participants of this event notice that they lost one of their own on the way up here - Richard was nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile, Vladimir saw an unfamiliar Hellkite descending the stairs carefully, but in a hurry.

I used healing potions on my units, and gave them a health potion here and there, if it made sense.
I have heavy armor, how can they hurt me? To do that, they need to hit and penetrate my armor.

- Where is Richard?

Richard was nowhere to be seen.

— Ready. — Richard turned the data storage device in his hands. — Everything is here.

didn't he give it to us?

Well, if you take it the same way you take the sword of moderation...
- The person with information about creating a device for transferring consciousness somewhere has disappeared. I think I don't need to say that he decided to pass this important information on to someone else, right?

Damn, Heroist got here first.

And we have about 30 floors to run to get to that guy. Unless I use the teleportation device. But it's better to give it to Gerde.

- Find him as soon as possible! I'll keep an eye on the director.

well, they just ran off

-Could it be that he decided to escape with all the information? - Wenling was surprised. - I really didn't expect that from him.
[Wenling returns, not knowing how we got here, descends the stairs, exercising the utmost caution, preparing for a possible attack or for Richard to start shooting/throwing grenades and the like.]
[Oh, and sooner or later, she realizes that she has lost the traitor and the chase is pointless, and returns to avoid going too far.]
I'm going to sleep.

- I'll stay with you, just in case.
"For example, in case we need to make a quick escape, and you get stuck in some kind of mess."
- Here, use this to catch up with Richard faster," Angus handed Gerde a spatial displacement device.
In my opinion, Ment has the highest chance of catching and defeating Richard. I could try to subdue him, but I'm not sure he doesn't have some kind of protective device on him. And I don't want to take any risks.

I just run on difficulty level 5.

I wonder why you stayed behind. I don't have the best speed either – it's 10. This device will certainly allow me to catch up with and overtake the other members of the group, but I'm hesitant to go solo against Richard. Crawling along with the rest isn't an option either, because even if we catch up to him, it will take a very long time. But Gerda has a good chance, with her superhuman strength!

But I don't want to take risks.

And why did you decide that chasing is more dangerous than covering the extraction point? Some random players might show up here, or there might be shelling.

At least here, we have somewhere to retreat. And my lightning spell combined with your rocket launcher should work well against various ranged units and groups of soldiers. Plus, we can try to control the soldiers. This would not only increase our firepower but also, if they survive, give us the opportunity to execute a diversionary maneuver, at the cost of one of the transports. In theory, of course.
