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

[Douane]

[OoC: Sorry!]


As he lets Vyrkris down Zaed kneels at her side and draws the laser pistol he pocketed from the last agent out of his jacket to cover Henuri with it.

"Don't move, just ..., just don't!"


(Unless Saanath's action fails disastrously in which case he will try to disarm Poliarni to keep him from using his weapon on Saanath, but only then.)

"It'll buy us time"

"Buy us time for what, kid?" Quinn brandishes the taped up communicator, "you saw this, right? They know we're here. The plan's gone to hell and unless I miss my guess they'll have the top of this shaft covered before we can make it back up. Meanwhile Saanath and the others are expecting us to come popping out of this tube. Who knows what they ran into out there..."

Quinn shakes his head. "The way I see it, kid, we got one choice: fight or surrender. I say we pile out of this door and try to bluster our way through. If that doesn't work..."

He shrugs his shoulders. "I don't see that we have any choice."

[ Am I correct that Henuri will act before Ktarle? If so, I'll wait for the rest to go . . . If you want an action now, Ktarle will attack to disable/stun anyone threatening. If that's not necessary, she will try to open the shaft the captain is theoretically in. Sorry for the delay. I've been fairly sick the past two weeks or so, and I've been online sporadically. ]

OOC: Sorry you've been sick Henuri has used his move action, while Ktarle has, in effect, held her action - she can either act now or continue holding until after Henuri. According to what you [psted, Ktarle coul attempt to grapple or strike Henuri (he' close by), or if you wanted to get to the hatch, she would need to move to and open the door to the hangar, where the hatch is.

"Well then, #### stealth," Ruzz'koff begins to climb back up the ladder, "I'll see if I can get to the top before they get there. You try and get through that door. Hopefully one of us will find a way out."

Cargo Hold

Gotta hit them now!

Saanath leaps at Poliarni and before the agent can react, wraps his arms up, pinning the laser rifle to his side. Poliarni struggles, but Saanath grip is too strong. (Ooc: Doghead, please ignore my email - a very stupid confusion of T20 vs D20 rules on my part).

Zaedhrarrg pulls his pistol, and covers the agent, noticing at the same time the handcuffs on his belt.

Ktarle takes a quick look at the rifle in Henuri's hand and decides to break for the hatch - he might still shoot her, but at least she wouldn't be walking into it. She runs for the door to the hangar, and makes it unimpeded as Henuri seems much more concerned with the laser pistol that's just shown up.

He shouts into his communicator: "571! 571! ALL SECURITY PERSONNEL! OFFICERS UNDER ATTACK, FORWARD CARGO HOLD! ASSISTANCE REQUIRED!". " Then, to Zaedhrarrg and Saanath, while raising his rifle: "DROP YOUR WEAPON AND RELEASE YOUR HOSTAGE. THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING!"

***********
Lift

Ishugi's comm is still in Trelene's hand, and it suddenly screams out: "571! 571! ALL SECURITY PERSONNEL! OFFICERS UNDER ATTACK, FORWARD CARGO HOLD! ASSISTANCE REQUIRED!".

The lift opens, revealing the situation: Off toward the foreward section of the hold, Zaedhrarg is holding a pistol on Poliarni who is also being held fast by Saanath. The door (in the forward wall of the hold) which leads to the hangar is just sliding shut. Another Hiranucop is aiming a laser rifle at Zaedhrarrg - he does not seem to have noticed Trelene's arrival yet. The lift begins to close in response to a call for it to go back up. (OOC: Trelene must step off now or ride up again. She can do this, and/or engage in conversation this round - she's used her main actions.)

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

Emergency Shaft.

The window in the hatch below suddenly allows some light in, as if the lights in the room (well, hangar) outside just went on.

The captain says to the Ruzz'koff, "I think we should all stay together - if you go up alone and they've got that end covered, you've got no chance and you do us no good. If we go together, at least we probably outnumber them. Up or Down? I vote down - at least it gets us nearer the boats.

The lift opens, revealing the situation: Off toward the foreward section of the hold, Zaedhrarg is holding a pistol on Poliarni who is also being held fast by Saanath.

(OOC: Trelene must step off now or ride up again. She can do this, and/or engage in conversation this round - she's used her main actions.)

Trelene steps off the lift just as the doors are closing. As she does this, she tries to wedge the small communicator in the door in an attempt to jam the doors.

Trelene steps off the lift just as the doors are closing. As she does this, she tries to wedge the small communicator in the door in an attempt to jam the doors.

The doors slides most of the way shut, then gets caught on the comm. After a few seconds, a buzzer sounds, and the doors open fully.

 

[Wilphe]

Ruzz'koff is already heading back up the ladder... "You want to talk? Talk amongst yourselves. Votes do not matter, now there is only action. Try the damn door already, if it's locked we're screwed and the only way out is back. If pop my head up and get it shot off then you'll know they've got this end covered."

He could say a lot as this point, but he'd rather save his breath...

[OoC: Just a small thing: Zaed wanted to point the pistol at Henuri: "and draws the laser pistol [...] to cover Henuri with it", as Poliarni is already "preoccupied". ]
