[GM]
Perhaps it's the shaking deck, but neither of Carlos's grenades go where 
he plans them.  The one aimed at the D-Bees flies past them, blowing up 
relatively harmlessly beyond them [Damage: 16MD].

The second one slips out of Carlos's hand and falls to the floor a few 
feet away [Damage: 21MD].  Carlos's armor and the floor grate take the 
brunt of the damage.  The floor gives way and Carlos falls through, and 
then down the shaft, still too dazed from the grenade to try to catch 
himself.
[/GM]

OOC: Carlos will now join the rest of the party.
