Krakrefr aims as fast as he can with his shotgun and covers Gaden, and they both fall back. He aims the first moving target (4 shots) and the one that follows him (2 shots).
Out of Character: Dexterity+2DM, shotgun magazine takes 6 shots. I guess that Gaden has to fall back since he wants to spot the enemy. Either way I cover him.
*forgot to roll gun combat.

Ajit nods in response to Gaden's order. Raising his gun, he takes a moment to steady himself and is ready to fire on Gaden's command.
Out of Character: It is a readied action to fire as soon as Gaden spots something and gives an order. You said to roll Recon to find the enemy, and Gaden is doing that, so I am not sure if you still need Ajit to roll it too, but here goes nothing. +2 Int, +1 Energy Gun Combat, Aim +1. Just add DMG 1 and DMG 2 to get the total damage.
Round 1:
Krakrefr fires his shotgun at the soldiers who were bounding (I’m assuming he is using slugs rather than pellets given the range involved) but the slug sails over the head of the soldier just before he falls prone behind a tree.
Gaden and Ajit scan the swamp looking for the enemy but cannot pinpoint thier locations. Maiokus’s ACR opens up with a soft chatter in full auto sending 9 rounds down range one of which finds its mark hitting the soldier in the abdomen causing him to stumble forward and fall prone behind a mound of mud near a tree.
Initiative: Krakrefr, Ajit, Gaden, Enemy, Maoikus.
Krakrefr takes cover and reloads his shotgun. He uses pellets, as the slugs are not suitable for the heavy cover of the marsh trees. He hopes to hit something this time.
Out of Character:Both are minor actions, so my turn is done.
Ajit continues scanning the surroundings, looking to fire on the enemy, but seems to be struggling with lining up a shot. Hopefully he can be more useful in this encounter than in their previous encounter with the pirates.
Krakrefr finds cover behind a large tree and reloads his shotgun. Ajit scans the swamp and manages to detect a hint of movement he fires at what he believes is an enemy soldier and believes the beam from his laser rifle may have hit something but he is not certain.
Initiative: Krakrefr, Ajit, Gaden, Enemy, Maoikus.
In Character: Realizing that the longer the enemy remains concealed the longer the firefight will last, Gaden wipes the sweat from his forehead and continues to scan the trees looking for any signs of the enemy
Out of Character: Once the enemy is spotted, Gaden will give the order to open fire on their position.

Most of the enemy soldiers continue to lay down supressive fire although it would seem that Gaden has been spotted as he hears one bullet whiz by his head and shortly after another bullet slams into his doing 15 points of damage (Prior to armor reduction).
The soldiers that are visible appear to be conducting a fighting withdraw and will disappear into the swamp by the end of the next round.
Out of Character: : Trying to keep this encounter brief, the enemy is going to withdraw but the primary purpose of the scene is to demonstrate that the characters are up against professional soldiers, that they are outnumbered, but the enemy appeared to be somewhat surprised/ they didn't seem to expect an encounter here. So unless the party pursues the enemy the combat encounter will end at the end of the round (After Gaden's next turn)
Initiative: Krakrefr, Ajit, Gaden, Enemy, Maoikus
