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

[Maerdwyn]

Next Round

******************
Cargo Hold and Hangar

Wondering if the man might need a little more convincing, Saanath will add if he gets the chance, "Your man, Mr NellsC might consider abandoning people to die in space a legitimate market tactic, but I don't. All we want is access to those boats."

Poliarni struggles against Saanath's grip, and in between attemps to bite and gouge Saanath, he says darkly, "I safeguard the interests of HiranuCorp and its shareholders. You are nothing more than a mutineer." With that, he drives his elbow into Sanath's groin, causing the man to involuntarily release the agent. Poliarni moves away from Saanath, towards the door to the the hangar, shouting to Henuri, "Cover me!" (ooc: this provokes an attack of opportunity from Saanath, if desired)

OOC: Next up, Saanath's possible AoO, followed by Saanath and Zaedhrarrg's actions. Then Trelene, then Henuri, then Ktarle. Conversation, whenever.
*********************

Emergency Shaft - Upper
Ruzz'koff makes it most of the way up the shaft - perhaps one-third of the way is left to go. He can hear Quinn straining against the hatch below.

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

Emergency Shaft - Lower

At the base of the shaft, there's not much room for collaboration, but one person might be able to lend some help.

"Ahhrr."

Saanath knows that without Poliarni, he's target practice for Happy Henuri.

Saanath launches himself at Poliani's legs in the hope of bringing the man down with a low tackle. Hopefully it will knock some of the fight out of the man.

Is this plan A or B? Which idiot let you do the thinking?

If he misses, he plans to come up running.

He dives, but Poliarni is just a bit faster than Saanth had calculated, and the agent avoids the tackle

Is this plan A or B? Which idiot let you do the thinking?

Saanath rolls out of his dive and comes back to his feet quickly.

OOC: Saanath and Zaedhrarrg are up.

 

[doghead]

ooc: Not sure where everything is in relationship to everything else exactly, so ...

... if Saanath is heading in the direction of Henuri he will attempt to tackle the man. Perhaps a sliding tackle to take his feet out this time. Gridiron doesn't seem to be my game, perhaps I'll have more luck with baseball.
... if Saanath is heading away from Henuri, he will follow up behind Poliani and attempt to catch him before he turn and bring his rifle up and into play.

Saanath sprints rights after Poliarni and again tries to take out the agent's legs. Unfortunately, this time, Poliarni sidesteps Saanath's slide, and continue on his way to the hangar door, which he passes through.

Emergency Shaft

Tomas moves down, squeezing past the Captain try to give Quinn a hand. He drops down, basically sitting on the ground, and pulling down on one sid of the wheel, while Quinn tries on the other. Unfortunately, Tomas's position isn't favorable enough to give Quinn much help. Under his own power, Quinn thinks this attempt was a little better, but he's now convinced that there's something wedged in the wheel on the other side, or somehow otherwise blocking the wheel from turning, rather than a proper lock, per se.

After their initial exertion, both Quinn and Tomas see, through the window in the door, a HiranuCop come in through the hangar door behind Ktarle.

*****************
Hangar

Ktarle hears the door behind her open, and not far behind her she hears the hard boots of a HiranuCop - a quick look tells her it's Poliarni.

 

[Watus]

OOC: Would using the laser pistol on the door make sense? I don't really have a sense of how powerful the pistols are when they're used in that way? If he shot the lock, might it open?

I ask because I think Quinn might have a better sense of that sort of thing than I do.

OOC: Laser weapons don't have a force component - it's merely a burst of light and heat - A laser weapon (most easily a rifle) could be used to briefly melt some of the the metal in a lock or gear mechanism together, jamming it. Firing at it from this side wouldn't do much that would benefit you. You're not sure what overloading the pistol, causing a minor explosion would do. It might open the door, but, then again, if Quinn's sense of the ship's layout is right, this shaft is built into the same wall as the outer hull....

 

[Seonaid]

Ktarle looks back and sees Poliarni. "And you are nothing but a dirty human," she mutters under her breath. She will then attempt to tackle Poliarni.

 

[Douane]

Cargo Hold

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!"

"Hey, when I said 'Don't move!' that included your mouth as well!

So, now be reasonable and put that gun away. It won't do you much good as your attempted mutiny is already failing everywhere.


Besides, what are you going to do?

You shoot me, I shoot you. Nobody wins."



Ooh, a 'mexican standoff'! I read about those.
