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

[Maerdwyn]

Quinn will pop his head out again and lay down some more suppresive fire.

The instant Quinn shows his face and fires the weapon, Eofar roars, "Now, Sheert!" The young man rises up and levels his tazer at the marine, but must have been a bit shaken by the laser pointed in his general direction, as the charged projectileclangs harmlessly on the floor a good meter from the hangar door. Sheert darts back down behind the crate, as the tazer scapes back across the floor and is retracted back into the charger. Quinn hears Wyrni Mokari mutter, "Idiot."

Eofar speaks up, still behind cover, "Khihaw! Amaluk rukhtaan. Amri Jaliseen thzarf trolitakhealim, wa antum kadaub bakhra'i AutoDoc an kalamik! Ham akhwaj qad teelrah!"
(Trokh: "Honored Aslan woman! Yours are acts without honor. Tell your companions to lay down their weapons, and you shall be allowed to use the ship's autodoc for your wounded. They want only the captain!")

 

[Wilphe]

Captain Darius looks at Tomas, then at the situation by the door. She scuttles over and kneels down, "We need time here, get them talking and keep them talking."

OOC: How long does she reckon it will take the boats to get fully loaded for the rescue, and how many of the ships secuirty and Hiranu-Corps are now accounted for?
There were four, we have one, have dealt with one upstairs, there are two outside. I think that is all of them

 

[Douane]

"Ouch!"

Hmm, actually not that bad. Already feeling better!


Zaed opens his muzzle to thank Ktarle when he catches a glimpse of Trelene's unmoving form.

"Oooooh ..."


He quickly drops to one knee and removes the survival kit he always keeps strapped to his back. Tearing it open, he grabs the collapsible grappling hook and the rope and begins to connect them.

 

[Tonguez]

"Stop the shooting!" Tomas calls out in as commanding voice as he can muster whilst staying behind cover "none of us wants to get killed. Let us collect Trelene and you get your man back okay!"

 

[Maerdwyn]

"It was not we who started the shooting, human, as the vargrs will attest. It is not our fault that we are better at it than you!" responds Henuri before Eofar cuts him off, by saying, loudly, "Throw down your weapons, and you will not be harmed. You have my word."

ooc: Julia knows there were six HiranuCops and six ships security. Two HCs are upstairs, dealt with earlier (one by those in the crew lounge, one locked in Vyrkris's old room. Two, Henuri and Mokari, are down here. The sixth, Julia hasn't seen leave Nells-Corzin's Quarters since the start of the trip.

Of the Ships's security, Tarsk, Ishugi, and Gani are all upstairs, and allied themselves with the captain. Red, Sheert, and Eofar are down here. All the ship's securit except Eofar are very green - security detail on a subsidized liner isn't very exciting work, and new recruits don't last too ong before moving on to better jobs.

It's going to take at least four or five minutes to get the boats loaded, depending on how well everythoing goes. The palets are on small gravdiscs, so they can be loaded in a minute or so each, and there are three of them. That would put all the oxygen on one boat, however, so it might be smart to split it up (in a perfect scenario, that is). The vaccsuits need to be loaded, as well.

Ktarle, female Aslan medic

Eofar speaks up, still behind cover, "Khihaw! Amaluk rukhtaan. Amri Jaliseen thzarf trolitakhealim, wa antum kadaub bakhra'i AutoDoc an kalamik! Ham akhwaj qad teelrah!"
(Trokh: "Honored Aslan woman! Yours are acts without honor. Tell your companions to lay down their weapons, and you shall be allowed to use the ship's autodoc for your wounded. They want only the captain!")

Ktarle responds in Trokh, loudly but subdued. "I want only to save those on the other ship. I don't know what is going on with your captain and the company. I don't even know why I'm here." It is a verbal shrug, and she continues working on Ruzz'koff as she speaks.

"Those on the other ship are pirates, in league with the Solomani, and trying to disrupt the Imperial economy. I don't know what the captain has told you, but I have seen the security documents warning of such pirates using such a ruse, and I have seen the sensor data on this - well armed - ship that lies in wait for us. The Captain is putting your lives at risk for nothing!"

[Tonguez]

"That doesn't mean they have to be left in space to die" Tomas calls back "if they are pirates we get them and you arrest them. If not then all our conciences are clear.
I've got no weapon to throw down - but I'm not gonna stand by and see people suffocate in space because the company says they should!"

Realizing that there are other Trokh speakers present anyway, Eofar switches to Galangic: "There is no direct evidence that that ship is disabled or not, thanks to the Captain's handiwork. But there is evidence that the ship went dark after its initial contact. And there is evidence that it has attempted to jam our communications. Julia Darius is about to fall into a trap, with you in tow --"

Henuri breaks in: "Enough of this! Toss your weapons into the hold, and step out of the hangar one at a time with your arms spread wide and palms open!"
