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

Tomas enjoyed the lunch with Eduardo the Upper deck, despite the looks and glares from passing Luriani that the old trader seemed to ignore. They chatted with Tomas talking about the Hiranucorp presentation and asking about the Megacorps.

It spent much of the journey sleeping, playing Pazak or hanging around engineering (including checking the lifeboats). He laughs when Eduardo claims that he's going to forgo gambling and when he next returns after another loss grins at his new old friend "this Pazak isn't kind to you friend - tell you what next lunch is on me!"

Tomas is strolling the observation deck when the announciement about dropping out of jumpspace comes through, he chuckles to himself about the captains lies regarding the Astrogator, but its no big deal so moves on returning to his cabin to strap in and think about what he's going to wear to the captains dinner - Navy uniform or Belters kit?...

Day Five, Captain's Dining Room

OOC: Assumed a bottle or two here. Maerdwyn? Liason +10 (+ has Carousing - for flavour.) A big hearted effort.

[OOC: Sorry Folks - my ISP went all wonky on me last two days. Plus, no email notification. Oh well. Doghead, Saanath's Liason check results in a 26, though it only really affects Anaarsi and Eduardo, since they're the only NPCs here at present. Others are free to take the results into consideration, however.

Seonaid - Ktarle can grab the datalink whenever you would like; if you want to do it secretly, it would be tough - it's sort of a elephant in the middle of the room, if you know the expression.]

Anaarsi watches Zaed storm out, and then takes the proffered drink gratefully. He launches into conversation with whomever happens to be near him, "Man, I wouldn't want to be in her shoes right now. I tell you what, if I had a chance to get on the bridge, I wouldn't mess it up like that. Did you hear her talk to the captain that way? I mean we're auditioning here! Who does she think is going to hire her if she can't even follow orders on the way to the Council? Huh - wonder when the Captain is going to get back? Anyway, I a couple weeks we'll forget about all of this. Myself, I plan to be hunting for a flat after getting word of my first posting on Dukh." He keeps on going, and going. Apparently, he knows everything there is to know about the Council, those attending it and everyone's chances fo getting a job. He doesn't go anywhere near his roommate Quinn, however.

Eduardo is more withdrawn, even with his roommates, who he's been quite firendly with over the past few days. When Saanath brings him the drink he says quietly to both him and Tomas. "Amigos? It's time to go. Whatever the captain's game, we don't want to play. Pazak is good enough, no? Finish your drinks if you want, but then let's go."

Day 5 - Outside Vyrkris' cabin.

Zaed goes back to the mid deck, and upon entering the corridor on which both his and Vyrkris's rooms are located, he sees the Captain coming out of the young vargr's room. She says something to the security officer, who looks at her strangely, and gives her his sidearm. Then she moves towards Zaed, only looking up to notice and recognize him at the last moment. She will be passing him in just a few seconds.
 

Day 5 - Lower Deck.

From the table where she is eating with Tagir, Trelene sees two new security officers (they are armed with rifles - the first she's seen on board the Keruuchan) enter the hold and take up guard positions. A third officer, thisonea vargr carrying only a holstered sidearm (like the other security officers she has met) approaches the table. Tagir's look blackens, and he's on his feet before the vargr gets there. "What's going on, Taershk? "

"Sorry to interrupt, sir. Ms. Scrautigue? They need a word with you on the bridge. Would you mind coming with me?"

"If the captain needs to speak with her, Tarshk, can't she just use my datalink?"

"Sorry, sir, ma'am, I was asked to bring her up. Ma'am would you mind coming with me? You can come back here in just a few minutes."
 

[OOC: Yeah, sorry for posting possibly conflicting actions.] Ktarle will grab the datalink right after getting over the shock of Zaed's exit, and then will make a hasty exit herself. She will then go to a public area and try to see what is on it. (+13 T/Computer, if I need it)

Ruzz'koff looks at Zaed storm out, then gets up and heads for the door talking as he goes "Well someone else looks like they are about to do something stupid. You had better save me some of that decent red and if my starter is ruined there will be hell to pay," he exits the room and tries to keep up with Zaed.

OOC: Ruzzkoff caught the lift right after Zaed. He misses the exchange betwen the captain and the guard, but sees her coming this way, just about to pass Zaed in the hallway.

[OOC: Response by email in a little bit, barring any unexpected interference or reaction from anyone else in the room]
 

Saanath reaches out and places a hand lightly on Ktarle arm as she reaches for the data link. He had taken up the captain's seat, having given up on the playing host.

"That may be a very dangerous thing to do."

He then withdraws his hand and settles back in the captain's chair, watching.
 


"I wouldn't be surprised if there are more people here than you can see.

"It was all staged. The only reason I can think of is to see what our responces are. Otherwise why here and now."
