Okay. Scarab disabled Hal's main electronic sensor before he kicked us out. Destroyed it when we were wreaking havoc on his systems. He's flying blind and relying on the small network of Stacy's sensors he controls that he hid from us. Kept dormant.
His thoughts become clearer as the scarab subtly repairs the damage to his body.
First of all: the sensors. They do have electronic components and can be effected by electronic means, but they're also nerve tissue. Like brains. I think they can be affected by telepaths like you guys and our illusionists. Coordinate the others telepathically. Bamboozle the sensors--you'll probably have to work together to maintain a single, solid illusion.
Fake that everyone's dying to the sensors--and to Hal, but do it slowly. Buy time. That means the traps will stop going for the real people and go for whatever you project, leaving our teams unscathed, so make sure you project something where they don't get hurt accidentally anyway.
Second stage: The others can't really go for the shield and holographic projectors directly--those were shielded, I'm assuming they still are--but while you're fooling the sensors, they can damage the tissue AROUND them and the projectors. That tissues holds the nerves connecting up the entire network. That'll regenerate, but that'll shut everything down.
We'll need everyone to help--it's a lot of tissue to damage, and bullets, ray beams, fire blasts, whatever, as long as it damages her tissue we'll need it. We're essentially CORING them out, like destroying someone's ability to see by damaging just the area around the eye and the ocular nerve rather than the eye itself.
If you can get everyone set up to take down every one of them at the exact same time, we'll have a shot at this. Every sensor, projector, and shield will be down before Hal has time to retaliate.
He calls up what he remembers of where all the sensors and projectors are--something he managed to steal from Hal before being disconnected.
Here's where they all are, can you see it? There's also one above me. I'll need you to mess with the sensor above me just like all the others to make it look like I'm still dead so I can move too. It's going to be fast. You fool the sensors, including mine, everyone takes advantage of that to core out all the sensors and holographic projectors, then I'll destroy the shield and sensor here, leaving Hal wide open.
ALL of the shields should be down, and he'll be blind, but he'll still be able to defend himself with energy tentacles and block attacks, and probably smack them around until he kills me. Everyone needs to be ready to completely blast him then and take him out once and for all, so make sure they're ready.

And, uh...that's my plan.
