Carla keeps walking, eventually reaching the shore.
Once at the shore, she puts her hand to her mouth and lets out a long and loud whistle.
Something begins stirring about a quarter mile out into the ocean.. something large.
“Enjoy the show!”

“Um… that’s a little concerning.”
He doesn’t seem to mind though.

Carla turns and begins walking back towards the group, slower this time, and with a smug smirk on her face.
The thing under the water seems to go deeper..
Something long and glinting in the clear water is rapidly approaching the shore.
Moments later, the whole area rattles once as a giant splash comes up from the shore, a faint rattle can be felt then as something begins burrowing.

“It’s been a while since my destroyer has awoken, I bet it’s glad to get some fresh air.”
And almost on cue, the WORM tears up from the ground only about 20 feet away from Carla. It lets out an ear splitting screech as it opens its massive grinding maw, the wheels spinning and tossing sparks everywhere. It then slowly closes its maw and turns to face Carla, getting down to her level and getting a few feet away from her.
Carla then patted the thing gently on the “head.”
She then pointed towards the poor souls collecting scraps.
“Don’t kill any unless you have to.”
The WORM turns forwards and then burrows again, it’s tail flipping up as it goes down.
More rumbling follows.

"Something's coming, I think it's a machine, plasma railguns everybody!"
Most of the now disturbed scrap collectors grab their heavy weapons after hearing the very loud mechanical sounds.

And moments later, the WORM tears up from the ground about 30 feet in front of their scrap collection. It aims its head down, opening its massive grinding maw and spinning the big wheels inside. It doesn’t strike yet, hoping to scare the intruders off before having to resort to murder.

The "intruders" do not leave. Instead, they assume strategic positions and charge their weapons. VS-638 hyper-accelerated plasma projectile cannons can penetrate over a foot of hardened steel, they clearly know what they're doing and have likely faced similar threats. Where they get this stuff, though, is a good question.
"Get the boats ready, I don't want to stick around longer than I have to," says one of the individuals. You can tell they're important because of the coloured text.

And Carla herself pulls out her laser rifle, charging it and looking down the scope of the old rifle, putting one of the soldiers in her sights, and then firing. (14)
At the same time, the WORM stops moving, simply looking down at the group..
A few plates on its sides open up, and 6 thin red laser beams, 2 of which are flickering, swipe at the group haphazardly (11, 7, 2, 18, 7, 9)

(18) The beam is blocked by a wall of blue energy, as a fighter suddenly manifests a sizeable energy shield. However, it does end up leaving a temporary hole about a metre in diameter.
"Hostiles to our right, get some cover and take them out!"
(4, 12, 12, 20, 16, 18) The team dodges the lasers effectively, although one has tripped over, and another has been burned on their arm and leg.
In retaliation, the fighters get into position and fire on the WORM, aiming for the lasers and the weakest-looking points (18, 13, 19, 20, 11, 9), while a machine gunner targets the general location of Carla (9)

(So uh, awkward timing, but I’m trying to temporarily write myself out of RPs so that I can take a hiatus… so can I like freeze Zhere in carbonite “by accident” or something for now? I’m really sorry about this. I will be back soon.)
Tovador tries to do an attack or something but since he forgot about his missing hand, it just explodes in his face and he goes flying off into the distance.

(How long will you be gone roughly? And yeah, Zhere can get put in a Cryo Pod or be in the medbay from a workplace accident.)

It’s a mixed bag, due to the WORM moving around a bit, some of the lasers end up hitting thick armor, and some miss entirely. A few hit some of the scrap armored segments and poke a few holes in them, one in particular hits something crucial, as the WORM jolts slightly as a small explosion blows a decent amount of scrap armor off of it’s third segment, also taking down a laser.
The WORM then moves upward and plunges straight into the ground, vanishing after a few seconds of digging..
(13) And Carla stealthily makes her way behind a nearby scrap heap, dodging most of the fire.
After a few seconds of the shooting being over, she tries to remember where the machine gun was, after she thinks she has a mental image, she quickly peeks out with her laser rifle’s barrel, trying to quickly fire a shot at the torso or head of the gunner. (20)

Skeletron Prime
(17) The gunner takes a hit to the side, and drops behind the barrier. It's not too bad, but still puts them out of the fight, for now.
More machine gunners approach, and one pulls out a grenade launcher. The group advances, laying down suppressive fire on Carla's position, (3, 15, 4, 10, considering potential bullet pen)
"The hell is wrong with these people? Not like they own the scrap," one fighter shouts.

(7) The scrap heap begins to fall apart in front of Carla as she ducks back behind it, she won’t have cover for much longer.
And with that, the WORM surfaces again, maw wide open and giant grinding wheels spinning, it lunges at the soldiers, aiming to… yeah. (13)

(17, 20, 14) everybody gets out of the way as soon as possible, finding new positions and breaking line of sight with the WORM
The grenade trooper fires shots at the WORM's weak points and maw, while the gunners open fire on its body with their railguns and MGs. (19, 19, 3, 8, 19)
