Paradise Violated
You act too rashly.
Salo, already suspicious of you and pointing his weapon in your direction easily anticipates your move for your own pistol. He doesn't hesitate to shoot to kill, which he does so quite easily.
Your death has a domino effect however.
After you fall, Alyssa shoots Salo and kills him. Lieutenant LaFleur finding himself suddenly in command is unsure of what to do, so he goes by what he remembers in the book, and orders that Alyssa be "arrested" for treason. Of course he still hasn't caught on to the idea that the "book" doesn't really translate in the field so well.
Most of the team doesn't like LaFleur, and they REALLY didn't like Salo, so they aren't very inclined to obey LaFleur's orders. While a heated argument between LaFleur and some team members goes on, the Lizards are disturbed by all this gunplay in their village and decide to defend themselves by attacking your team. During this attack, LaFleur suddenly becomes familiar with the term, "friendly fire." and at this point Alyssa takes command, only to be shot in the back by the Elojin who slinked away soon after you were killed. He doesn't get away with it, as a Lizard spear finds its way into his neck.
After everything is said and done, a single member of your team survives the entire battle, then after about three days of subsisting on Lizard meat, he suddenly goes mad for no apparent reason and runs off into the jungle never to be heard from again.
When the Empire ships arrive, they write the mission off as a failure and decide to just bombard the planet with mass drivers so it can't be used by anyone else.
