I agree that it can be fudged but given that we have an opportunity to
ask I am asking for either
a. Clear guidance on how to make that fudge slick and good for the
game and a natural consequence of the intents and contest result.
b. A rules tweak so the outcome of the contest gives us more guidance
on how to narrate the result.
I'm not bothered which.
I just want my suicide-bots to be able to pile in with no intent but to infect characters with their gene-toxins regardless of how smashed they end up. I want the system indicate if they are smashed and/or if the characters are infected. If I wanted a system where the narrator just makes up the outcome in most cases - and in my experience most simple contests are fairly inconclusive - I'd start by throwing the dice away.
