I'm pretty liberal about what affiliations PCs can use, but characters in their solo affiliation can't be claimed for buddy or team affiliations, and can't give or receive help, which is the main way of covering it.  Generally, unless you're making a special effort to be solo, you'll be either at buddy or team thanks to the comm net, but just clarifying which wave you're engaging in OOC comments will help a lot.<br/><br/><br/>However, there are a couple of slight errors in your dice roll, Primarch; specifically, you're not allowed to use both distinctions in your die roll as a d8.  I'm going to go ahead and count the last die in your pool as a D4, and give you a plot point, based on the idea that your indomitable will makes you impatient to engage the superhumans.  Next, your effect die for this roll is actually a d6, since your d10 and your d8 came up a 1, and you can't use dice that roll a 1 for your effect die.  You also have five more effect dice for this roll, four d6es and a d4, since it was an area attack.
