The problem was, these associate weren't completely lumped together the way the group in the hall had been. He couldn't just mow them down with machine gun fire the way he had before. He looked into the eyes of the six men, then shot the two of them he felt the most likely to fire first. Then he turned sharply to his left because now associates came at him from that way. Damn! Adam fired in both directions, and that got everyone to scatter. That gave him, maybe, two seconds to formulate and execute a plan, and that plan involved more postage stamp bombs.
It was time to blow a few holes in this casino/starship.
