The Captain nods. "Okay - Mokari's the most personable of the HiranuCops - makes sense they've got him talking with my guys. Still Eofar's like taking orders from anyone but me. I don't know Lurim that well - he just came on for this voyage. His brother Bilem's a good man, though. Can we get into one of the channels some other way? [OOC: intercepting a channel via the computer would take a long time. It could be done via a communicator on the same network (by spoofing the addressee's identity) as a just full round action, but would be easily detected if someone were monitoring the Comm system. Such an action would be a T/Comm check with a DC of 30, the channel's encryption rating. Trying to do it more stealthily would be a DC 35 ]Tailspinner said:
"Yeah. Okay," says the engineer. "Just try not to leave before I make it to the bay, yes?"
The captain says, "Well, sending me down the lift would be someowhat counter productive with this plan. Does it make sense to send Saanath down a few seconds later to further fragment them, or should we all just go down en masse? Doctor, can we get Vyrkris safely down the emergency shaft, or are we going to have to take her down the lift anyway?
Still grumbling, though softly under his breath, that he had to carry all the heavy gear, including Vyrkris, Zaedhrarrg drops most of it out of the way into a corner, keeping only Vyrkris, unceremoniously slung over his shoulder.
While more plans and details are exchanged, he looks wide-eyed around at everyone present and catches only scraps of the discussion.
"So, who's mutineering and why?" Zaed finally asks with his customary grin, blissfully ignorant of any groans.

Trelene nods her head.
"I could do it via a communicator on the same network. But it could possibly be detected if someone is monitoring the Comm system. It might work. It is worth a try at any rate."

"You know, that might work," says Ruzz'koff.
Saanath says, "I still think its worth sending someone, some of us, down via the lift. There are too many to crawl down the shaft quickly. It would take too long.
"Just give me an idea of the timing."
After which, Zaedhrarrg asks happily, "So, who's mutineering and why?"
In response, the voice of Walid Nells Corzin issues forth from the loudspeaker as it suddenly springs to life. "This Owner-Aboard Waled Nells-Corzin speaking. I must inform you of a --"
Nells-Corzin goes on to explain that the current lockdown on the ship is due to a "minor security matter" and that everyone should remain where they are until the matter is resolved. He then thanks everyone for their continued patience.
Only the his first sentence is out however, before the captain starts responding: "Okay, he's getting control of the downed systems again - Forzh, Go! Get back here as fast as you can!" To everyone else: "This lift is mechanically shorted - they still don't have control of it, even if they have the rest of the lifts back online. There cold be opposition coming in through that door any second - I'm going to try to get to shaft before that happens. Anyone coming with me, come now. Saanath, wait a few seconds - if it's still quiet up here go down yourself, as planned. If you here trouble beyond this door, everyone goes down and makes for the boats. Three seconds if anyone's got another plan," she finishes.
