Off On The Rim

[Paxus Asclepius]

"I've always been a fan of a good flogging as negative reinforcement," opines Daos cheerfully from his spot on the wall.

Lance moves slowly towards Daos, the blaster which hasn't left his hand since the call came dangling (seemingly) loosely in his hand. "Now may not be the best time to give Her Highness ideas," he says softly.

"Nothing to worry about, really," says Daos, couched in tones quiet enough that Kai, still chatting seemingly cheerfully, will be unable to hear. "Girl doesn't have much arm strength. Might be nice." Daos gives a wink and a leer. Despite his friendly words, he's shifted slightly- one hand in his right pocket, the other resting flat against the wall, ready to push off.

In a sudden burst of movement, his vibro dagger whips out, humming dangerously-

- and flicking through the air straight ahead of him (and a safe few feet ahead and to the left of Lance) in an imitation of the pattern he was going through earlier. He slips it back in his coat and grins at Lance. "You can probably put that away, you know. No one's likely to burst onto the ship without us knowing." And with that, he walks out whistling. "'Scuse me, need to use the 'fresher."

As Daos walks away, Lance quietly lets the safety slide back on, having slipped it onto multifire at the sound of the vibrodagger's activation. Holstering the blaster, he turns back to listen to the Princess's conversation.

 

[Festy_Dog]

No, thankyou. You are probably more help up there.

Kluurz nods, a little put off, and makes his way to the cockpit.

He nods to Daos as he passes him, then parks himself where he was initially, and puts his feet up on a table. He listens to the Princess sweet talk the control tower, and sighs, rolling his blood red eyes.

"So... I suppose that means we just sit here again, waiting for you father to tell us where to go... Oh, wait... there's a chance that might never happen," Korin says with just the smallest hint of sarcasm. "Even if it was a hoax, someone went to a lot of trouble to start a commotion. I think we should at least find out the truth of the matter, and there's probably no other way to do that than for the Princess to attempt to contact her father."

 

[deadestdai]

Still sat in a gunner's station Rytt was glad he couldn't hear what the Princess was saying. That idiot girl will probably get us all arrested. He thought and fished for a piece of Nerf jerky from his pocket to chew on.

"I completely agree! Oh, I'll definitely give them a talking to for this, don't you worry. Just can't find good help these days, you know?" Kai laughed a bit and then spoke again in that honeyed voice. "Anyway, I'd like to get going if you can clear us for takeoff. I think the crew is getting more antsy the longer they stay here. You know, if they're not in space doing something useful, they imagine drama drama drama where there isn't any."

After a short pause, the second voice seemed to sound more calm and polite, "We can let you go in about ten minutes. Orbit's clogged up at the moment, but we'll open up the bay for you when its ready. You tell your crew not to try anything else like that again...especially if you're heading Coreward."

Talon can’t help but wonder, Ten minutes is a long time when it comes to setting up an ambush… He glances at Lance wondering if he is thinking the same thing.

Lance looks back at Talon, but his thoughts seem to be less "This could be an ambush" and more "Honestly, would asking for permission to leave have been so hard?" Nevertheless, Lance continues to keep an eye on both the sensor screens and the windows, and his hand is never far from his blaster.

Talon turns back to his checklist even though it’s completely done…
