15.

Ruzz'koff looks as the big Marine barrells out of the door and starts shouting at everyone, Yeah, like this situation really needs that, like the cops aren't jumpy enough as it is, you'll get your head blown off. <No windows> When the shooting starts he will drop to the floor Pragmatism v curiousity - the eternal struggle.

 

[Maerdwyn]

ooc: doghead, any action on your turn, or shall I move on?

 

[doghead]

*sorry*

Saanath feels sickened. They are cutting Treth down in front on the street. The smell of laser-burnt flesh fills the air.

He steps towards Treth, close enough to be heard, but out of arms reach. In as calm a voice as he can manage, in Trokh, in tries to get through to Treth.

"Is it worth so little to you? The land. The forests. Will you just give it all up? Is this where you want to die?"

If Treth appears to listen, he will add, "Lie down. Let the doctor help you. This fight gets you nothing."

OOC: *NP* - I'm going to treat that as a Liason check with a stiff penalty for Treth altered state, and the fact that it's not quite what the skill is meant for. DC for moving an attitude from Hostile to Unfriendly is 20. Saanath's result: 10

Treth's eyes meet Saanath's for a split second as they sweep towards Irikanu. There is no hint of recognition in them, only madness and fury. He finishes his turn, brandishing is dew claws, and giving all in the doorway a clear view of the wounds on his back

An officer skirts Treth and makes his way towards the door of the bar. On the way, he holster his gun and draws his stunrod. "INSIDE! NOW! Stay back and shut the damn door before you get hurt!" he shouts at those in the doorway, and then turns toward Treth.


OOC: Ktarlewaweikye is up, to be followed by the last officer.

 

[Seonaid]

At all the commotion, Ktarlewaweikye turns back, curses loudly in Trokh and runs back toward McAllister's, digging in her med kit the whole way.

 

[Maerdwyn]

The officer who had been talking to Ktarlewaweikye aims carefully at Treth's leg and fires. The shot hits the Aslan right in the knee, but somehow, he stays on his feet, stumbling in front Officer Irikanu, but remaining conscious, and willing his body to continue functioning.

McAllister, "A'right. Hergvaer, Krueg - sit down. Yer staying out'a this, ya ken? Everyone else, there's a loading door in the back - It's a tight squeeze, but it's there if yer keen ta exit."

Bilem, "If I'm late for roll call on the ship, I'm sacked. Poor devil - hope he makes it through this somehow. Thanks McAllister." And he heads for the back.

With that, Quinn is left to consider his next move.

 

[Maerdwyn]

Next round's order:
Quinn
Treth
Irikanu
Officer
Officer
Saanath
Menuri
Officer
Ktarlewaweikye
Officer

 

[Watus]

With that, Quinn is left to consider his next move.

With the writing on the wall, Quinn spins on his heel and stalks back into the bar.

"I tried," he says to Hergvaer as he passes, shrugging. "The poor bastard." He grabs his duffel and heads out the back door without breaking stride.

 

[Maerdwyn]

Treth swings at Irikanu with all his remaining might, and strikes her once on the arm. Before the next blow can connect, though, she steps back, and fires. The beam burns into Treth's neck, and he falls without even a gasp in recognition of the pain. He lies utterly without movement on the ground.

Irikanu clutches her arm as an officer rushes to her side, while the other officer moves to check on Treth.

OOC: Saanath's turn.

 

[Tonguez]

With the writing on the wall, Quinn spins on his heel and stalks back into the bar.

"I tried," he says to Hergvaer as he passes, shrugging. "The poor bastard." He grabs his duffel and heads out the back door without breaking stride.

Without a word Tomas backs off from the door, nods to McAllister and follows Quinn to the back door.

Finally making it out he looks around trying to get his bearings

"so heading for the Ship now?" he asks of Quinn and Bilem trying hard to put the incident they just escaped out of his mind...
