Sarhat takes another step back and lets Ashley do the talking. He lowers his pike, but is still ready to get back in combat if need be.
 

"That," Ashley says wryly, "is a long story. Before we get into that, tell us how to disconnect you from this system so Tryce can't take control of you again when he wakes up."

She continues maintaining the daze Tryce is in.
 


I hardly ever check the general discussion forums (too little time as it is), but I did this morning and saw this. Thanks WD for posting this as I hadn't got around to it. Scary stuff :(
 

"I don't know," says Raive. "Sethyk! Is this something you did? Set me up as a little puppet for Tryce?"

Sethyk presses himself against the wall. "Chk chk. Not me, Raive, I promise! I'm your friend!" he squeaks.

Raive looks imploringly at Ashley. "Tryce is coming back. You can feel him too, can't you mindwalker? You or friends need to do something quickly, help me."

Sethyk glances at Raive, looks at Vurk. "You know cyberware," he says to the pak'ma'ra. "Help me disable him."

[SBLOCK=Ashley]
Raive is right, she can feel Tryce struggling to the surface of the daze she has him under.

Checking the details, a subject under a sustained telepath power gets to re-roll their saving throw.
Some other Diplomacy rolls and things happened too.

Vurk and Sethyk scurry over to Raive, quickly assessing the various part attached to him. They have mere seconds to make a judgement, and the two of them home in on a small nodule near the base of his skull. Sethyk pops a part out with one of his small screwdrivers.

Tryce shakes off his daze.

"Raive!" he shouts. "Kill the telepath!"

Raive twitches for a moment, then shakes his head. He takes a step away from Vurk and Sethyk, but remains on his guard, claw at the ready.

"Not yet, Quentin," he growls. "First, I want an explanation." He points at Ashley. "Starting with you."

[SBLOCK=OOC]
Vurk Medical 11+7-5=13 (Assist Another, penalty for speed)
Sethyk Technical (electronic) 14+10+2-5=19 (+2 assistance, -5 for speed)
Tryce makes DC 20 saving throw.

Lauren Medical 13+7=20, heals 2 hit points on self.

"We came here to meet you, Raive," Ashley replies. "All this ducking around with Sethyk and Tryce was just how we were trying to get in touch with you."

"Our interest is in the Tal; their technology. We'd had it on good advice that you were the one to talk to about that."

She flicks her eyes from his feet back up to his head, taking in his cybernetics.

"Unfortunately, it looks like our intel was a bit dated. We had no idea Tryce had pulled something like this."
 

Raive laughs.

"Sure, I can help you get hold of Tal stuff... for a price. But before we make a deal lets go someplace away from that double-crossing dirtbag," he waves his claw at Tryce, fidgeting amongst his cables high above the floor. "Sethyk and tentacle-face here have cut him out of my head for now, but I can tell that they'll need to do a more thorough job to break his control completely."

He smiles, a dangerous smile.

"If you try to frag me over I may wind up killing you anyway, but I'd rather do it on my own terms than as Tryce's puppet."
