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

Round 3 - Tarshk

Corridor M2

Tarshk waits for a response from Zaed or Ktarle, but as he's doing so, turns back down the hall and says, loudly, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Everything is under control here - I need you to go back to your staterooms to wait - I'll be by to take your statements in a minute."

***********
OOC: Zaed and Ruzz'Koff are up, followed by Ktarle (corridor) and Saanath/Forzh (Crew Lounge) and Tomas (Passenger Lounge), respectively for their locations. As always, speaking may occur at any time.

Tomas casts about a but unsure of what to do and deciding that Trelene is going to soon be in a world of trouble decides to standby and assist with hatever is revealed behind the door!
 

Ruzz'koff's action is not to act, simply talking at this point whilst keeping his ears and eyes open.

OOC:
Intimidate check (Base 3) on Vsili.

Ktarle, unable to easily investigate the door with this agent where he is, starts to squeeze, hoping that he'll eventually pass out.

Meanwhile, the communicator on the agent's belt beeps and issues forth a simple "Aggh!" and then goes quiet. Tarshk hears it, and move foreward to see who called him - the change in his demeanor is quite sudden, actually. He looks around and again takes in the situation. "You working with the Captain?" he asks Zaed and Ktarle cautiously.

"We are against the mutiny, so I guess, yeah, we are working with the Captain.

What about you?"


Zaedhrarrg eases back into a non-threatening posture and even brings his customary (friendly) grin back.

However, he keeps his full attention (and the gun) trained on the agent (or at least in his general direction).

Because of this, Zaed has to let his sense of touch guide his left paw in it's attempt to retrieve the cuffs from the grappled agent's belt.

Round 3 - Ruzz'Koff, Saanath, and Zaedhrarrg

Crew Lounge:

Ruzz'koff can't detect Vsili's reaction to his command, but the agent resumes his prattle: "Officers, you are hereby ordered to take Ms. Darius into custody. The trial may yet go well for you, Captain, if you cooperate now. It may even fail to materialize altogether. That goes for all of you - It is easy to see you are acting without complete informa--"

Saanath cuts Vsili's speech off by grabbing for the gun. Despite the dark, he makes contact with the gun. Unfortunately, that's because the agent has heard him coming and swung the rifle at him at the same moment. The rifle cracks Saanath in the face, but he still manages to get his hands around the rifle's barrel and pull. Unfortunately, the agent jerks the gun back, leaving Saanath empty-handed. "Anyone tries that again, and I won't hold back. I don't want anyone hurt - I want this mutiny to end. Now. Peacefully."

Corridor M2

Zaed manges to obtain the cuffs from the struggling agent while conversing with Tarshk, who responds "Er, yeah. I mean...yeah." (The agent in Ktarle's arms has begun unleashing a steam of loud obscenities, mainly directed at Tarshk) He swallows, then takes the cuffs from Zaedhrarrgh and applies them, with difficulty, to Turk. "Um, I've got to go - the captain waiting for someone who I...who is locked in her room right now." He looks like he's about to leave.
*******************

OOC: Ktarle and Tomas are up
 

"I am afraid I am unable to comply with your request. We have already seen evidence that your superior is prepared to abandon people to die, I am not so foolish as to trust your benevolence or his. Put the rifle down or you will be forced to use it," Ruzz'koff takes a slow, silent step towards where Vsili is standing.

OOC: actually, I might be indisposed for a bit, too. As a lifelong Patriots fan, I have some party preprations and recovery from said party planned for this weekend :)
 

[OOC: Back, happy, and recovered. Mostly. :D]

Vsili: "HiranuCorp has every reason to consider that ship to be a direct threat to the Keruuchan, her passengers, and her cargo, as Captain Darius has acknowledged."

At this point, Captain Darius is lit up faintly by her comm, just as Vsili had been a moment before.

The captain speaks to Vsili, but obviously has the channel open at the same time: "Agent Puritzov, Officers Gani and Ishugi, here, in your presence[and at this point the light goes out, and it is clear that she is moving, toward Vsili as she speaks] I wish to state for the record that I acknowledge the company's judgement that the ship may pose a threat to our special cargo, but I reiterate my judgment that the risk is both minimal and issufficent to justify a breach of our Title 1 obligations. Nevertheless, I am willing to submit to arrest, if these people here are released without penalty."[There is a noticeable tremor in her voice, and there is a soft blue glow coming from her right hand just a moment too early - OOC: Bluff check failed, badly. Vsili's attack of opportunity, however, has already been used this round].

She raises the now-charged stunrod and swings at Vsili, Striking squarely on the jaw. The agent screams, then twitches.

"Now Officers, I meant what I said - just not to him. If you intend to arrest me, I will go with you peacefully, on the condition that these men are released without further repurcussion. You have served well under me, I and I know how much you need these jobs - I would never ask you to do anything to put yourselves or your livelihoods at risk, and you have your orders. I expect you to follow them. [OOC: Bluff check: better this time; if you want to know if she's telling the truth, ask for a sense motive check. Otherwise jump into the conversation, or don't, as you wish.]

OOC: Action-wise, Quinn and the two guards are up. it is still dark

*****************

Passenger lounge.

From the communicator, both Trelene and Tomas hearhear the captain say "Agent Puritzov, Officers Gani and Ishugi, here in your presence," and then the channel closes. Her tone was hard to discern (whether it was warning, or just plain worried)

OOC: Tomas is up, action-wise

******************

Corridor

OOC: Ktarle is up - not sure if you have access or not, Seonaid. I'll wait until later on tonight, then post an action for Ktarle if you haven't
