Saanath grins, but it slowly turns into a frown as he realises that Ruzz'koff isn't really joking. :):):):).

He's quiet as the others set off (concentrating on counting without moving his lips). At the allotted time, he summons the lift and hits the button. As it travels down, he dredges up all his memories of obstinate irritating passengers.

"Hello there! What the heck happened to the lights. And my vid unit is on the fritz - it was a pay movie! I need an engineer! I'm gonna get a refund, right?"

Something like that. Just gotta remember to believe that everything I want is reasonable and be completely oblivious to the fact that there might be other more pressing matters at hand.

ooc: Bluff +8

As she watches the two security guards assume their positions next to Vsili, Trelene realizes that her attempts to break into the HiranuCops communications aren't working. Seeing her shake her head, Forzh comes over and holds his hand out for Turk's comm, which she was using for the attempt. "I should take the other one, too, Ma'am - If they can track Vsili's, they can track Turk's. You better get down to the boats."

The Captain and Ruzz'koff (ooc: and anyone else who wishes to go with them and says so relatively soon) Head towards the foreward door, which, for the first tim in several minutes, opens automatically upon approach. Outside, Ruzz'koff sees evidence that someone has removed the plate covering the door's electronics, but whoever was trying to get in earlier, isn't here now, nor is anyone else. The captain heads for the starboard door to the crew bunks, motioning for Ruzz'koff to stay close behind.

Saanath boards the lift, but he, or someone else, needs to reconnect the lifts's power if it's going to take him anywhere (OOC: T/Electronics DC 15), the captain having left during the PA announcement, before everything was completely ready to go.

"Captain, as long as someone can carry her, we can take Vyrkris any way you like," Ktarle replies.

"Ehm," Zaedhrarrg replies, somewhat perplexed, "I'm already carrying her, see?"

He lifts Vyrkris' muzzle so that everyone can see that it is indeed her and not any other Vargr he might have picked up somewhere.

...

When his question goes unanswered and most of the humans and 'the beanpole' spring into action upon the PA, Zaedhrarrg looks around helplessly. While he would like to do the same (and his instincts urge him so), the responsibility Zaed now has for Vyrkris' security holds him back. He just can't risk exposing her to harm.

"So, um ..., anybody need a pilot?" he asks the remaining people.

Ruzz'koff is happy to take the rear of the expeditionary force, and let the Captain and Quinn argue over who gets point. He motions at the electronics panle, just so everyone else notices.

Ahh. Saanath takes a quick look at the panel*. If it looks doable, he gets to work. If not, he immediately pokes his head back around the door of the lift.

"Anyone got a pair of pliers and T/Electronics?"


ooc: *T/Computer +9, T/Communications +9, P/Computer Tech +7 - anything useful here?
 

Ktarle looks confused and lost and, since Zaed doesn't seem to be leaving, she stays also. At Saanath's question [if it's asked] she shakes her head. "I am no good with electronics, human." Her tone is neutral when she calls him by his species. She sounds almost as at a loss as she looks. She will check Vyrkris's vitals to make sure the girl is still doing okay.

Quinn is with the captain, and will insist on taking point.

The captain looks indignant for about a nanosecond before realizing that it's probably okay to let a marine take the lead, rather than trying to argue that her many years as a merchant captain make her better qualified. "All yours." When Ruzz'koff points out the panel, she mutters, "What are they up to? If they knew I was in there, why weren't they waiting for us when the door opened?"

The three move into Crew Quarters A, which is empty of people. Several bunks are unmade or in general disarray. A red light - indicating a security alert - flashes silently in the upper corner of the room. The emergency hatch on the starboard wall is closed.

Ishugi opens his eyes. "I can bodge when I need to." He peeks out the foreward door, and seeing no hostiles, "Let's see." He moves into the lift and takes a look, "Yeah - she just interrupted the power. We can fix that with with some multitape - " Ishugi starts twisting the cut wire together with some multitape from his first aid kit - *ZZZZZZZT* The lift controls light up, and so does Ishugi, for a moment. The guard looks okay, if a bit singed. He manages a smile: "There you go...," and goes over back to where he was and pretends to fall unconscious again.

Meanwhile, Gani, who's been looking nervous ever since the PA sounded, asks Trelene, "Do you want to try that comm trick again, ma'am? I've still got mine with me if you need it." Then to Trelene, Ktarle, and Zaedhrarrg - "And whe are you folks planning to head down? As soon as the lift comes back up, or are you going to wait?
