Another question!

I'm just kinda curious as to why you can't escape into a vent during combat? I had a devious master plan in the GMS station, where I would lure out the bandit leader and his henchpeople, and then use the vents to get over to the room with the hackable computer and bam, they're worm food.

I'd thought I was being super clever, but unfortunately it can't be done inside combat.

I had this same plan too.I even thought about locking myself inside the surveillance room,but you can't even initiate dialogue in combat.
Too bad that this quest forces you to face them head-on.
I suggest you to activate the turret,use the vent near the console to move away without being noticed by the turret,and then approach the leader and his goons from the south.That way you will only have to care about the leader,the other two will attack the turret.
