Kenshi (Good) Luck

Any ever get good luck in a particular situation in Kenshi? Like, everything is about to go to sh*t when suddenly something happens in the Kenshi environment and changes it all.

Here's my example story:

I have several different crews spread around Kenshi in different bases. I had just moved Beep and Ray to a free standing outpost I had made (really just a safe-house with the capability to grow rice/veggies hydroponically). Beep and Ray were in the mid 50's for Weapon attack/defense. There was a notice that we were getting a dust bandit raid (the base was in the SW corner of the Great Desert). I figured Beep and Ray could handle it, no need to move other units into the area.

I closed up the outpost, locked the door and met the bandit scum outside. Long story short, they completely kicked our ass. I was a little surprised because my guys had handled dust bandit camps (the ones that spawn) before -- yeah, we'd get beat-up but we'd win. Not this time. And after putting us on the ground, did they run off, finished? No. They stood there. We were completely borked. I figured I was going to have to call in other units.

Then, like a divine miracle from Okran, a cluster of about 5-7 skimmers suddenly appeared, sweeping into the crowd of dust bandits. The bandits were all engaged with the skimmers and moved away (somewhat) from where Beep and Ray were laying still and playing dead. Beep and Ray got up, ready for anything, but the skimmers had moved off, away from them, leaving no bandit standing. Suddenly the notification that the bandit raid had been defeated flashed up, and Beep and Ray were left standing, unbothered as if they had actually won the fight themselves.

Usually, it's the bad luck but this time Kenshi saved their hides.
