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

Quinn drumms his fingers on the table and looks up at the ceiling, his eyes unfocused. "So the question is: where is the captain?"

"She wanted us to know what...."

His eyes widen. "Hold on. You don't think... Why the hell else would she leave the communicator behind? She doesn't want to be tracked!"

He slams his open palm onto the table, causing his drink to jump. "Why did she pass this information to us? Is it because she couldn't think of another way for it get out, or... is she about to do something crazy?"

"Do any of you know where the ship's boats are on this thing? I think the captain may be about to mount a one-man rescue mission."

Saanath pauses at Quinn's uncharacteristic outburst.

"Do any of you know where the ship's boats are on this thing? I think the captain may be about to mount a one-man rescue mission."

"I had thought about that as well, but thought it too outlandish to believe. But as more time passes and the Captain does not return, I am beginning to think it might be possible.

"The boats are down near the engineering section I think."{1}

{1}ooc: I seem to remember that we saw them on the tour of the engine room.

OOC: Yes - the Engineering tour also showed you the boats, which are in a small bay/hangar aft of the main cargo hold, and foreward of Engineering.
 

Ruzz'koff strokes the end of his muzzle pensively, "Technically it's not mutiny if the Captain does it. It would fit the known facts. Gallant, but possibly stupid - and maybe futile. Question is, do we stop her, join her or save our testimony for the enquiry? If we are going to do anything active, or creative passivity, we need to lose that," he points at the comm unit, "And we need to lose it now."

He looks around, "We need a volunteer to lead them on a wild goose chase or somewhere to hide it, or take it somewhere and switch off the tracking. And then make sure we move, so they don't go straight to it's nearest location. Or all of the above."

OOC:
Is there a garbage or laundry chute somewhere?
These things easy to dismantle and turn off the tracker?
 

"I was the one who took it out of the captain's dining room, so I will do it if nessecary. But you still have to get into the engine room, and access to that section is restricted.

"I don't like the idea of dismantling it, nor tossing it down a shute. It would make it hard to claim to know nothing. I do not want to cross Nells-C. openly. He is a very dangerous man, and the law here works for him and the like of him."

OOC: Yes, there are garbage chutes. Easy to dismantle? Depends on how much evidence you want to leave behind of your work ;).
 

"Just toss the damn thing into the captain's dining room." Quinn downs the rest of his drink and pushes back his chair.

"Anyone know someone in engineering willing to discretely unlock a door or two to save their captain's ass? If she's leaving the ship, I mean to go with her."
 

"If they find it unattended in the captain's room, it will make them suspicious, which will encourage them to begin to search aggressively for the captain. I will take it back to the captain's room, and wait for her there.

"I can easily explain the trip here and back. If you are going to go, go now."

At that, Saanath turns and continues towards the captains diningroom.
 


Dining Room:

Saanath heads over to the dining room, and finds it just as he left it a few minutes ago. The security door to the crew section is locked; the door to the galley is closed (but presumably unlocked - it slid open when Eduardo passed to close to it upon leaving the room earlier.)

**********

Restaurant:

Those sitting in the corner find his hard to miss the young waiter across the room craning his neck in their direction and speaking into his communicator.

**********

Mid Deck:

OOC: (Douane - still need a reaction to previous post, or Zaed's next action, whatever that may be. )

Ktarle says to the remaining security agent, "Is that man alright? He looks...woozy." The agent responds politely, "I'm sure he's just had a long day. He didn't handle the transition from jumpspace very well earlier. He's probably still recovering. Now - we've had your things transferred to the upper deck, and I'll be sure to speak to the captain about you getting to speak with your former roommate sometime." He smiles a dismissal.

**********

Mid Deck:

Trelene turns around after the door to her quarts close and stops dead. One of the security agents is dashing towards the same lift she is headed for. He doesn't notice Trelene, bet he'll certainly get to the lift before she does.
