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

"No. The captain's right. Her presence on the lift would draw the HiranuuCops out. If you went down, they'd shoot you as soon as they realized you were the distraction."

Quinn pauses for a moment, looking off into the distance.

"I'd prefer to send the lift down empty in the hopes that it's arrival might draw any HiranuuCops away from the boats and the other end of the shaft... We might be able to make a run for the boats if no one's between us and them."

"If you go crawling down the pipe, armed for bear, and they are waiting for you, you're history. One by one.

"They are not going to just shoot random passengers wondering around. Nelz-clutz might, but I don't think that he is down there.

"Lets just get this done.

"I'll go down the lift. Don't waste whatever time I can give you."
 


Ktarle and Zaedhrarrg (carrying Vyrkris) arrive in the crew lounge, a little breathlessly. It took quite bit of work, but they were finally able to get Turk shoved out of the way and cuffed inside Vyrkris's room. [ooc: sorry, just moving things along a bit there] The captain nods to them.

The captain looks at Saanath a bit skeptically, "I'm not sure they still think you're a random passenger - they'll want to have a chat with those of you where were at dinner with me." Then, to Quinn, "I thought of empty, too. But I can't see more than one or two checking it out down there. Saanath, if you're able to get all of their attention, do you think you can get to the boat after we're in it? If the plan call for our decoy being left to face Mr. Nells-Corzin's justice alone, then, I'm sorry, but that's not going to be any of you. I'll do it, if it's necessary." She turns to everyone: "Can we get them all heading up here somehow, while we're heading down?"
 


Saanath is willing to go down the lift. There doesn't seem like a great deal of chance that anyone will get to the boats otherwise. He about to say so when Quinn smacks his head.

He decides to wait and see what the old soldier has got in mind.
 

"This is of course pre-disposing that the two who are down there come up, rather than the two we don't know about coming to get us - or they don't all come at once. But if you've got a plan, by all means go for it."
 

"What's your idea, Commander?" asks the captain. She turns to Trelene, at the terminal off to the side. "Trelene - have you found anything useful?"
 

"If one of you would be willing to carry Vsili's communicator to the other side of the ship, key the mike, and fake the noise of a fight, the other HiranuuCops would likely believe that Vsili was in serious danger. Several of them, at least, should abandon their posts downstairs and move to assist him."

He looks vaguely in Forzh's direction.

Trelene looks sternly at the captain.

"Well... I wasn't able to learn much. Several systems are down. The lifts, PA, and security camerals are all inoperative and inaccessible via their normal controls. I was also able to find the following channels open on the ship's internal comm network. HiranuCorp VP of Operations Waled Nells-Corzin to and from HCSecOp Alenu Henuri, Security Chief Eofarlehaefa os Khosari from HCSecOp Wyrni Mokari, and Security Officer Lurim Benruli from HCSecOp Wyrni Mokari. I'm sorry, but that's all I can get for now. To get anything else would require much more time that we don't have."
