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

[doghead]

Gotta hit them now!

ooc: Once they get us down on the ground, we're stuffed. Saanath is going to try and take down Caleb (Poliarni?). Hopefully getting into it before the man can gather his wits enough to shoot him. Saanath has Improved Unarmed Strike and melee +4. But his biggest concern is staying on the man, and getting his gun off him. If he as anything like decent training, Saanath is stuffed.

That will leave Henuri to cover both Ktarlewaweikye and Zaedhrarrg, and them to do something about him.

Ruzz'koff is at the rear and presumeably can't actually see most of what is going on. This is probably a good thing...

Trelene Scrautigue : Luriani Navy 2/Prof 7 : Retired Makhidkarum Vice President

Crew lounge

Trelene notes, with some considering how things have gone today, the lift responds to her call and begins coming up. It opens just as she hears a small commotion building outside, and she gets into the lift just as the door is opens, revealing another HiranuCop and two security Guards, one a very large Aslan male, all armed - The luriani HiranuCop, whose badge identifies him as Wyrni Mokari, shouts "Stop right there, Ms. Scrutigue!"

Trelene is unsure about whether the lif door will shut before they can get to here not - although she notices Ishugi, feigning unconsiousness by the entrance, trying to sureptitiously push his leg into their movement path. Still, she'll need to decide whether to stop, as commanded, or not. Just then, though, the agent seems to stop short and answers his comm. "Yeah - just an engineer trying to get help for Turk and Vsili - they're knocked out here with some of the -"

Trelene tries to look as surprised as possible and raises her hands into the air. She is hoping that by following Wyrni's command, he will not notice the lift closing until it is too late.

"Of course officer! Absolutely! It seems something is happening here. What is going on?"

She glances in the direction of the 'unconscious' guards.

Emergency shaft:

As quinn nears the small device, he quickly sees that is indeed a communicator, with the microphone turned all the way up. From that vantage, he, and the then other three, can see the hatch not far down below.

The captain readies her pistol. She arches her eyebrows at Quinn, holding her hand up and miming turning a comm off, as if to say, "should we?"

Quinn rips the communicator off the wall and angrily turns it off.

"What the hell. It's not like they don't know we're here."

"I don't suppose there are any other exits from this shaft?"

Emergency shaft

Quinn rips the communicator off the wall and angrily turns it off.

"What the hell. It's not like they don't know we're here."

"I don't suppose there are any other exits from this shaft?"

"No such luck - the shafts are distinct, both because thats how the extra space in the hull works out and to make sure the other shafts stay safe if one is compromised, " says the captain. "Okay, what now? They know I'm in here - they can't, or at least they probably don't, know, specifically, about you three."

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

Crew Lounge:

Trelene watches the HiranuCop raise his rifle, but when the Aslan sees Trelene's hands go up, he puts a paw on the rifle and guides it down, as the door closes. She hears Mokari say (into his communicator) as that happens, "I'll lock the hatch. You've got a visitor coming down: Ms. Tr--" and the lift shuts. The lift quickly moves down its shaft, and halts on the lower deck. The door will open momentarily.

Cargo Hold

OOC: Will resolve when Zaed and Ktarle's actions are posted

"No such luck - the shafts are distinct, both because thats how the extra space in the hull works out and to make sure the other shafts stay safe if one is compromised, " says the captain. "Okay, what now? They know I'm in here - they can't, or at least they probably don't, know, specifically, about you three."

"Captain, you keep talkin' like you think we're likely to leave you. That's not gonna happen. At this point, unless we get on one of those boats and physically prove that the Malikot ship isn't a corsair and that Nell-Corzin assumed control of the ship under false pretenses, we are, in fact, guilty of mutiny."

Quinn drops the rest of the way to the door, and checks it over.

"There's only one way out of this, and that's through."

 

[Tonguez]

"So we going through with guns blazing?" Tomas looks at the Marine hoping that he's got a better plan than that "if they're waiting for us we don't have many options. Though the captain - with all due regard sir - may be a bargaining chip for us. Is it safe to assume they wont shoot first and will want to take the captain alive?

It'll buy us time"

The lift quickly moves down its shaft, and halts on the lower deck. The door will open momentarily.

Trelene moves to the edge away from the controls and presses herself against the side. She is hoping that anyone that looks into the lift will think that it is empty. And if they should enter they would expect anyone to be on the side of the controls.

 

[Douane]

Zaedhrarrg freezes for just a micro-second before he bursts into action in the realization that sitting still would be the worst option. Still intent on protecting Vyrkris as well as possible, he lets her "glide" from his shoulder onto the ground.

[If he's near the door, preferrably through it into the next room, well out of harm's way. If not, then into the hallway. While Zaed won't be too gentle, he doesn't risk injuring Vyrkris by abruptly dropping her.]

 

[Maerdwyn]

OOC: Zaedhrarrg already moved this round, to get over by the halway door - he can move again to Henuri, but wouldn't be able to attack this round. He would be able to make a full round attack next round. On the other hand, he is close enough to attack Poliarni this round, and next round, he could move to, and attack, Henuri.
