T20: High Law and Low Justice (IC Thread 2)

[Maerdwyn]

Ktarle smiles tightly at Zaed, and barely listens to his stories, nodding at the right spots and that's about all. When they reach the door, she fidgets for a moment before approaching the officers. "I am told that my former roommate is inside. I do not know why she is being confined, but I need to speak with her for a moment."

The guard at the door looks uncertain for a moment, then starts to smile and speak, but one of the two security agents cuts him off by interposing himself between Ktarle and the guard. He says earnestly, "I'm sorry, ma'am, your roommate became violent with some crew members earlier this afternoon while she was on the bridge, and we are under orders not to allow her contact with anyone until we dock." He pauses for a moment, and looks at Ktarle both sympathetically and somewhat helpfully. "Still, she seems like a basically good kid. How about I let the Captain know you'd like to talk to her - maybe she'll make an exception for you later on tonight?"

The guard, whose nametag says "Jared White", looks somewhat disinterested in Ktarle's conversation with the agent and yawns widely.

Ruzz'koff looks at Quinn, then to the others and speaks softly, "Now that could be nothing. It could also be a sign that the lady is in a whole load of trouble."
Fixes Saanath with a baleful glance and drops his voice even lower, "And why do we have the Captains's comm unit here anyway? She'll need it back eventually, you've no good reason to have it and it might prompt people to see what else we've got."

Saanath ignores the tone of Ruzz'koff address and keeps his own voice neutral.

"I found it in the back of the Captains chair. I was planning to return it to her when she returned. I think the question is, Where is she? She's not on the bridge, or with the girl. Which could be bad for the girl.

"But I could take it up to the bridge and hand it over to whoever is up there if you like."

As Ktarle speaks with the guard and the agents, Zaed happens to see another guard, this one a Vargr, leading a human woman (he thinks it is that Makhidkarun exec Vyrkris was talking about at dinner the other night - "Scrowteeg" or something?), farther on down the hall. Both of them are walking somewhat stiffly, and the guard keep looking over his shoulder.

Ktarle is facing the other way, and remains intent on the agent speaking to her in any case. The agents and the guard don't seem to take notice of them, although they are facing in that direction.

Simultaneously, Trelene notes a cluster of people bunched around the door of tha nice vargr girl, Vyrkris, down at the end of the corridor. Three of them are security personnel, and each is armed at least with a laser rifle, like those she saw before. None down that end of the corridor seem to notice her or Tarshk, except maybe the vargr standing next to the Aslan.

Trelene notes the cluster of people, but continues her pace with the security guard toward her quarters. She tries to remember if she has met any of the people before. Things are really starting to get interesting now...

Upper Deck:

The communicator is going crazy, at least figuratively - Three almost simultaneous pages. The LCD display lists one each from Walid Nells-Corzin, Bilem Lenruli, and Jared White. One could select one of the pages and open a channel, or simply leave them all on "hold".

"The Captain seems to have wanted to be able to move around the ship without being tracked. But she must know that sooner rather than later people are going to try and reach her.

"I have no intention of answering that thing. I am not sure that I want to get any further into this as it is. I have no intention of sneaking off with one of the ship's boats or some such.

"Or perhaps I am just being dim. Are there any other options open to us? I suppose I was hoping that the captain would return and we could get some idae of her intentions. But ..."

Saanath trails off. He really doesn't know enough to be able to go any further.

 

[Wilphe]

"You realize that if the Captain can be tracked though that thing, someone will eventually go to it's location. Which is where we are. I don't think any of us want that."

 

[doghead]

Saanath nods.

"Yes, that occured to me. And if they do, I will tell them I was going to give it back to the captain when she returns. Not implausable, I think.

Saanath picks up the communicator.

"But you're right. Someone is likely to come looking, and as none of you want that, I think I shall head up to the bridge "to find the captain".

"Anyways, I'm sick of this sitting around waiting."

Saanath rises and heads for the elevators to the bridge.

ooc: the ones in the captains dining room I believe.

Saanath rises and heads for the elevators to the bridge.

ooc: the ones in the captains dining room I believe.

OOC: The Bridge is on this deck, but you need to pass through a security door that separates the public areas of the ship from those only the crew has free access too. One of those security doors is in the captain's dining room, another is just outside the main restaurant near the lift which leads back to the mid-deck passengers' quarters, lounge, and mess. To get to the bridge, engine room, or other sensitive areas of the ship, you need a crew member to let you in, or find some other way through.

Zaed and Ktarle hear one of the agent's communicators beep. They both hear the following spoken in the angry voice of Nell-Corzin "...She's betraying the Company. I've got one of her 'dinner guests' here..." at which point the agent cuts off the incoming voice and says, "Hello, sir. I'm here with two of our friendly passengers, maybe I could speak to you in a few minutes?" The agent moves off several meters, and then actualy starts walking briskly away, towards the lift. Though he is shielding his communicator, Zaed hears (obviously yelled into the communicator by whoever called the agent: "You find her dammit! And round up those guests!" The other agent looks at the two passengers and says, "I think maybe tonight, you two better just move along. Enjoy your new suite, Ma'am!" he says with a smile.
