[QUOTE="Tun Kai Poh, post: 8508543, member: 6761960"] [B][SIZE=5]The Straggler, Part 4[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=4] Tabitha sighs. "That was a little heart to heart. It is a challenging time for all of us trying to look out for each other, trying to balance what we see as our duty to our people and our flag," she pauses a moment, then continues softly, "She warned me that if you have an issue persecuting this conflict, then it is better that you seek asylum with us. I gather this is the one chance she's giving you to do so before things escalate beyond... what she is willing to intervene in." "This war has escalated beyond what we as individuals can do to prevent it, Lowell. Bannon seems conflicted about the resolution of this engagement but she's also strictly loyal to the Purview cause. She said that your behavior would get you killed by your own crew and she'd prefer your defection to other less savory resolutions. She's not going to step in to protect you, Lowell, you know that." Another sigh. Tabitha closes her eyes, "I'm... we are all incredibly indebted of what you did Lowell. I have the authority to grant asylum if you seek it but in the end that's really on you. Maybe the Karrakins will strike at us and you'll have a chance to prove yourself but that will only be a temporary reprieve. You know that there will be an investigation into what to your leadership will be viewed as a serious defeat and no one is going to stick with you when that happens. They seem to prefer people like Wilder." "If there are any of your officers and crew who would seek asylum as well, I will extend this to them, while there is still a chance." [I]Roll: 19+3 (Diplomatic) : 22[/I] Lowell's face drops as he listens to Tabitha. He glances again at the door, putting a hand on his chin. "I must be getting slow, not to see the signs. I really didn't think Bannon knew. But you're right, if it's come to this point, I can't stay with the fleet." His distress becomes more apparent. He checks his suit's dataslate, and quickly sends off a signal. "I...I think some of my officers may be in danger. If I can...no, they're offline. What's happened?" His comms only returns silence.[/SIZE] [I][/I] [/QUOTE]
