T20: High Law and Low Justice, Part 3

[Wilphe]

"I've dealt with corsairs before, and so I think Quinn has too. You are not the only one," Ruzz'koff pauses and leans back round the seat with a grin on his face, "Besides, we're the reserve. Wouldn't you like to be the one who goes in and saves the crew and the first rescue team?"

"Let's get a course in that doesn't leave us in the arc of fire of their weapons, just in case."

Tomas continues the scans as the others ready themselves, takibng the extra 20 minutes to widen the scan around the Dvonn, checking to see what other objects might be present and hidden from immediate view

"Besides, we're the reserve. Wouldn't you like to be the one who goes in and saves the crew and the first rescue team?"

Ktarle looks confused. "We are? Who was the first rescue crew?" [Sorry, I'm confused OOC by this statement.]

 

[Douane]

She turns to the vargr: "Mr. Zadherg, no one is doubting your courage, or willingness to help in an emergency, but you must admit that you are not...one hundred percent, at present. Maybe if you just stayed in the boat until we determine that it would be safe--" She stops short, feeling Zaedhrarrg's glare upon her.

"But this isn't about having to prove my courage, not at all! - Though I would of course step mightily on the tail of everyone who dares to question mine! - Even if I'm not at hundred percent ..., Stars, even if I am not at ten percent the duty remains the same. How could I ever forsake it? I would not be worthy of being called "Scout"!

No, I must do this. There's no waiting for "safe" for a Scout!"

"I've dealt with corsairs before, and so I think Quinn has too. You are not the only one," Ruzz'koff pauses and leans back round the seat with a grin on his face, "Besides, we're the reserve. Wouldn't you like to be the one who goes in and saves the crew and the first rescue team?"

"But Scouts don't do the 'reserve thing'! How would we even be able to? Have you never heard our motto "One emergency, one scout."* ?"

...

"Ah, you know ... Well, actually I meant dealing with them by talking to them, not shooting at them or trying to cutlass them. I think this should be our preferred course of action, given the situation. Don't you think so?"

Zaed replies earnestly without mocking undertones or traces of sarcasm in his voice.



* Since the scouts trace their origins back to the pony express of old, I found this most fitting.

[OOC: Zaed truly believes everything he says. ]

 

[Wilphe]

OOC:
I think it might be my bad. Looking back the current Plan as I understand it is:

On Alpha:

Entry team:
Quinn, Saanath & Captain Darius

Remaining on Alpha:

Ktarle, Vyrkris and Ruzz'koff (Pilot)


On Beta:

Trelene, Zaedhrarrg, Tomas

 

[Maerdwyn]

OOC: I think that's right, Wilphe, with a couple changes - Tomas was to be part of the Entry team, originally, I think. Captain Darius wasn't but it makes some sense that the goes (she's not much in a fight, though), so she will, unless the people think the risk of having the only pilot aboard Alpha being reduced to 1 lifeblood is great enough that she should stay on, just in case.

On Alpha (will dock first to emergent receive wounded):
Entry team:
Quinn, Saanath, Tomas (Captain Darius?)

Remaining on Alpha -
Ktarle, Vyrkris, Ruzz'koff (Pilot), (Captain Darius?)

On Beta (will dock second to receive stable survivors and dead):
Trelene, Zaedhrarrg

 

[Seonaid]

[ Wait, how did Ktarle operate on Zaed if they're on different boats? Are we changing personnel? ]

 

[Maerdwyn]

[bingo. Boats will dock with each other and shuffle people.]

 

[Douane]

Zaed steps back quickly to pick up one of the vacc suits before anyone can prevent him from doing so when he suddenly pauses and stares at helmet. Picking up another one, he raises the other paw and feels the outline of his muzzle.

"Why don't you have any suits for Vargr?" he adresses the Captain with an accusing voice.


[OoC: I'm assuming the one for the Vargr engineer is on the other boat. ]
