[T20] High Law and low justice

[Maerdwyn]

"You're a doctor, ma'am? " asks Menuri, visibly pleased at the prospect.

[Sirens outside - Treth gives a bit of a start. Back-up is arriving soon.]

"All right," he continues, "we take him to the hospital -
"Menuri!" Irikanu breaks in "We need to follow procedure on this."
"Screw it, Irikanu - you see the look in his eyes. This guy needs a bed. [back to Ktarlewaweikye]. All right - we'll take him there. You think you can convince him to put these on? [He motions to his cuffs] Might need you to accompany us there to watch him while we call in a xeno-doc, too."

A look of worry passes very briefly over Irikanu's face. Others in the room seem to be relaxing just a bit.

 

[Seonaid]

Ktarlewaweikye nods at the officer. "I will accompany you. Are the restraints necessary?" She gently takes Tretheasofkhou by the arm and urges him toward the door. She carries her medical kit with her. As an afterthought, she steers Tretheasofkhou to her seat, scoops up her duffel, and continues toward the officers and the exit.

 

[Maerdwyn]

"Can't transport a suspect un-restrained, sick or not. His protection and ours: He might not be able to control himself , so we need to go with the cuffs. If you'll swear they'll go on securely, I let you put them on him, if you think he'll take it better coming from you," Menuri offers.

Irikanu tosses her cuffs to Ktarlewaweikye just as the other officer finishes speaking. Menuri gives her a quick, slightly perturbed glance, and then says to Ktarlewaweikye, "Okay?"

 

[Maerdwyn]

Trelene smiles at the two and motions at the table.

"Please! Sit! I already have a drink, but you are welcome to ask your questions."

OOG: OK. Where is the ship going that we are all supposed to get on in a few hours? What's the deal with the Mercantile Council? Sorry. I'm a bit lost here.

OOC: This ship is headed to Dukh, the Domain capitol and the seat of ArchDuke Nells. The Mercantile Council is a combination summit of the important coporations of the domain, recruitment drive for those corporations, and venue for finding venture capital for those interested in working with those corporations as independant contractors. More in an email I just sent.

"Thanks!" They both say at once, and sit down. The Vargr continues: "We just graduated from Darammiya University. My name is Vyrkris I did Mechanical Engineering, and Felin here did straight physics - got honors too, right Felin?"

Felin speaks up, "Uh-huh. What we were wondering was whether you work for one of the megacorps? My folks are pretty set on me finding a position at Makhidkarun, but at this point, I'm not sure it's for me."

"Don't bias her answers, Felin." She turns back to Trelene. "We just want to know what it's like, that's all."

"Don't bias her answers, Felin." She turns back to Trelene. "We just want to know what it's like, that's all."

Trelene smiles at the two.

"Well... I am actually retired from Makhidkarun myself. Working for Makhidkarun has been rewarding. I was able to work on a number of great projects."

She takes another sip from her drink and pauses to watch their reactions.

Trelene smiles at the two.

She takes another sip from her drink and pauses to watch their reactions.

Vyrkris hits Felin in the shoulder "See?" then, to Trelene, "We saw your picture in Gateway 500 last month when they covered your retirement party. Felin didn't think it was you, but I was pretty sure." She's smiling, obviously pleased with herself.

Felin says, "We're really pleased to meet you, Ms. Scrautigue. So, um...what was it like working there? The article only talked about how much money you made the company - did you, you know, dig in and get your hands greasy? Or was it more of a theoretical design position? I'm pretty sick working in the abstract after my thesis."

 

[Seonaid]

Ktarlewaweikye drops her bag to catch the cuffs, caught off guard. "Okay," she replies uncertainly in Luriani. She turns to Tretheasofkhou and speaks in Trokh. "Tretheasofkhou, these humans want you to put these on. They say it's for your safety. I think they're afraid of what would happen if an angered man got loose." She glances over her shoulder at Saanath and then the officers. "I am a doctor, Tretheasofkhou. You need help. I'm going to escort you, with these officers, to a hospital. But first you need to put these on." Her voice takes on a no-nonsense quality as she fumbles, one-handed, with the cuffs.

 

[doghead]

Saanath drops his hands and sinks back on hihs heels with a soft sigh. We might just make it out of this without ... in one piece.

If Treth looks to him he adds in Galangic, "Put them on Tretheasofkhou. Its easier. I will put them on too, if you wish."

*If Treth allows K. to put the cuffs on*

Saanath climbs slowly to his feet again. Suddenly he is too tired to care if he looked like a fool.

"Does proceedure allow me to get my bag Officer Irikanu?" he say with a shrug of the shoulder to indicate his bag on the bar.

 

[Maerdwyn]

"Does proceedure allow me to get my bag Officer Irikanu?" he say with a shrug of the shoulder to indicate his bag on the bar.

As Ktarlewaweikye puts on the handcuffs, Treth gives a startled growl as if he's been slightly pinched, but it passes quickly, and once the cuffs are on, everyone in the room seems to relax. (OOC: still, a couple of you can't shake an uneasy feeling that something here is off. A skill check of some sort may be appropriate.)

Menuri says, "Thank you, Mr. Layrosh Ardwa," stumbling over the Aslan name. "As soon as we get you some help, and get this incident straightened out, we'll have you back home. Saanath, let me get these guys set outside, and I'll come back in to take your statement, okay?"

Irikanu, having answered Saanath's earlier question only with a hint of a scowl, now moves to take Treth by the elbow. "You go out ahead, ma'am, they'll need to take some of your info before you can ride with Mr. Lhaerosh Ardua in the wagon during the transfer," Irikanu says to Ktarlewaweikye. To her datalink, in Luriani:"Suspect in custody, but in need of medical assistance. Civilian now exiting the building is a doctor who will accompany the suspect to the hospital."

 

[doghead]

Saanath nods to Officer Menuri.

I doubt that they would allow me to stay with Treth. I'm not even sure that he wants my help. But if he does ...

Saanath takes as small card from his pocket and gives it to Ktarlewaweikye as she passes. Trying to give it directly to Tretheasofkhou would probably make the police all nervous again.

"Its my phone number and a email box. Can you pass it on to Tretheasofkhou?"

Why do I have a bad feeling about this, like I am going to wish i had done something different. I want to know what is going on.

OOC: All speaking is in Galangic unless otherwise indicated.

I'm assuming that Saanath has some form of multi-system provider that would allow data link usage on a number of planets. Thats what he would choose if its an option. I was going to ask about this earlier. Let me know if its a problem.
