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

As Trelene appraches the lift, she sees the agent staring in frustration at the lift, repeatedly pressing his palm into the reader trying to open it. He speaks into his comm. "Sir? Vsili. Something's going on. I can't get Crew Lift 2 open here on mid deck, and the door into the crew lounge seems stuck open." He seems to be waiting for a response.

Trelene nonchalantly reaches past the security guard and places her palm into the reader to try and open it.

It doesn't open. The agent looks at her. "It seems to be malfunctioning, Ma'am. May I ask who you are? This area is restricted to the crew or those escorted by crew members..."

As he is speaking, his communicator beeps, but he quickly and subtly switches it to "Mute" before Trelene can hear anything.
[OOC: Note that Trelene has been in the crew sections of the ship several times over the past week. True, it has always been with a crew member, but even when that crew member has stepped away for some reason, she's never been accosted or asked to leave by someone who didn't recognize her or who knew she was a passenger.]

Ruzz'koff lets Quinn deal with the waiter.
<Ground trouble, it's what the marines are for>
He nods apologetically to the waiter, pushing a 20 buck note into his top pocket, "Sorry about my friend," and shaking his hand fulsomely in a display of bonhomie designed to keep him from using his communciator.
 

Ruzz'koff switches to Vargr, talking out of the side of his mouth to Quinn whilst still smiling at the waiter whose hands he has clasped in his, "Take the stairs, they can control the lifts from the bridge and it's more doubt as to where we are going."
 

Saanath watches the scene with waiter play out from the the doors of the captain's dining room. While he can't hear what's being said, the gist is clear.

It's all spinning out of control. Nott that it was in control before. Its just getting more so.

He considers staying in the dining room and playing out the "wait and see game". Only, its gone too far for that now. People seem to know that we know something, although what anyone knows, no-one seem to know. Saanath has no desire to to get up close and personal with Nells-C. if he thinks that Saanath knows something. It could be hard to wriggle out of, particularly with the recording in his databook. He considers deleting it, but decides not to at this point.

Which really only leaves one option. He discretely takes out the captain's communicator and, after giving it a careful wipe down with a soft napkin, places it on the table.

Then he heads for the others, and the lifts it would seem. Things are beginning.

ooc: no stairs, but a good thought. :) There are maintainace conduits (which people are very careful not to call "Jeffries tubes"), but none of you knows the ship well enough to use them effectively to get around.
 

* My, they do seem to have a lot of problems with females on this tub! Something very strange is definitely going on here! *


Turning back to the agent in front of them, Zaedhrarrg replies cheerfully:


"Thanks! But that won't really be necessary, as I already got the captain's permission to visit her. Could you please open that door? Don't worry, if she gets violent, I'll be able to calm her down, no problem at all! [Friendly Vargr grin]

Oh, care for a bite?"


Zaed holds out his plate to the man.

"Err...No Thank you, sir. If you two could just move along-"
"The Refrigerator!" Ktarle interrupts the agent suddenly. The agent looks at her, clearly puzzled. "I left something in the refrigerator in that room," she explains, somewhat impatiently. "Did you touch it? Did you move it upstairs?"

"As far as I know ma'am [he again gently pushes Zaed's proffered tray of food away], nothing from the refrigerator was moved, but perhaps later this evening I could have someone bring it up to you?

"You don't understand - it's not packaged to move. I could prepare it, given a few minutes, but it represents a danger - possibly a contagious one - if not handled properly. [Bluff: 17] When the agent starts ask her a question, she continues on. "I'm a xeno-medical doctor. I got permission from the captain to continue some of my research during the journey. That sample has been culturing for the past six days, and if I cant work on it tonight by 20:00, I'm going to need someone to explain to the Pharmacorp execs on Dukh why my report couldn't be completed by their deadline."

The agent looks at her hard for a moment then shakes his head. "Sorry, Ma'am," he says darkly. "If you need to, you can have the captain write you a note."

Zaed can see Ktarle's frustration rising rapidly.

"If it gets to that" Tomas replies as he follows the others towards the lifts " then it shouldn't take much to override the lifts controls for us.

It might get us arrested but thats the captains call. Lets go... "
