[T20] High Law and low justice

[doghead]

Saanath stands there stunned. He watches as the officer checks Treth, waiting for the inevitable finding.

*assuming they find Treth dead*

"Well Officer Irikanu," he says turning to her, "you lost your cherry then. Bully for you."

He turns and begins to walk toward the spaceport. Then stops and turns around.

"Ah yes. I nearly forgot. My statement.

"I was trying to help the deceased home as he was confused and disorientated. The police came and shot him.

"So if that is all ...."

Without waiting for a reply Saanath sets off again for the spaceport. Within two steps he has entered the crowd of people gathering.

Without waiting for a reply Saanath sets off again for the spaceport. Within two steps he has entered the crowd of people gathering.

Menuri shouts after him as he leaves "Saanath! I need more than that from you if you really want justice for him!" But the young man is already gone. Instead Menuri turns to Irkinanu, who is being guided towards the wagon: "What the HELL was THAT, Patroler? I say we're going in to a sensitive place to ask some questions and take a suspect into custody for questioning for a 10-24, an now what do I have? I've got a dead, no, a -mangled- suspect, a PO'd witness, and a bar full of Vargr who won't even be willing to point us towards a squid vendor from now on. Why, becuase, thanks to you, they know that if they cooperate with us,THEY're GOING TO GET THEIR THROATS BURNED OUT BY A LASER!!"

Another Officer comes up to him and says quietly, "Come on, Taleh. You got to get back to the station. Let the Jurin's boys finish this up. Go get that cut looked at." Menuri starts to go, and the officer, turning to Irikanu, says "Okay, Rookie, I need your weapons and your statement, unless you want to wait for your PBA rep first. Personally, though," and here he looks at the glowering Aslan arriving on the scene, then at the three Vargr now standing in the doorway of the bar, thenback to Irikanu, "I wouldn't want to say here all that long just waiting around. What happened, Patroler?"

OOC:Ktarlewaweikye is up, and then we're dropping out (for the moment anyway ) of combat time.

The shooting has stopped and the shouting has started. Ruzz'koff picks himself up off the floor and looks as Thomas, Quinn and Belim make their excuses and leave. He dusts himself off laconically.
"And the vultures gather.", he walks to the door and watches the aftermath.

 

[Maerdwyn]

An officer heads off Ktarlewaweikye as she is heading for Treth's body. "Ma'am, I'm sorry...There's nothing more to be done for him. Do you want to give a statement about what happened, or maybe you want to call us in a couple of days instead? Menuri says you were only trying help us get this done peacefully - We appreciate that, and I guarantee you we're going to figure out what happened here." All the while, he is interposing himself between Ktarlewaweikye, Irikanu, and Treth's body, and he is speaking in as soothing a manner as possible.

 

[Seonaid]

She growls at the officer, pushes past him and checks Treth herself. [ Sorry for the delay. ]

 

[Maerdwyn]

She growls at the officer, pushes past him and checks Treth herself.

"Ma'am, I think..." He trails off as Ktarlewaweikye pushes past him. She kneels down by the male Aslan's body, which lies face down in front of the bar. The four Vargr look on along with everyone else as she she examines the body.

 

[Seonaid]

Ktarlewaweikye eyes the man suspiciously. "This man is dead," she says clearly. She then takes a blood sample (and a tissue sample and scan, if possible, in that order). When she is done, she stands, glares at all of the officers combined, gathers her belongings, and walks into McAllister's. "Is there somewhere I can make myself more presentable?" she asks the bartender.

 

[Watus]

"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...

Quinn turns his head and spits. "The sooner I get off this g*dd*mn planet, the happier I'll be."

He turns and stomps off in the direction of the shuttle, muttering darkly under his breath.

 

[Maerdwyn]

Ktarlewaweikye draws a sample of Treth's blood, but as she tries to take the tissue sample, one of the cops notices and shouts, "Hey, stop that!" The other officer, who had tried to block her way before then says, "Ma'am, we need to leave the body as undisturbed as possible until the coroner arrives. In an officer-involved, that's vital. Do you want to give a statement while we're waiting? "

(OOC:Ktarlewaweikye can either give the statement or just head inside, as posted before. Alternatively, following the statement, she can head inside as posted before, at which point, the following: )

McAllister invites Ktarlewaweikye inside and offers her the use of, and shows her to, the restroom.

None of you remaining at the door (Ruzz'koff, Hergvaer, and Kreug) can hear exactly what Irikanu is saying as she give her statement, but she's spending a lot of time gesturing to the cuffs lying on the ground near the body.

[OOC - I'm pretty busy the next couple days(until Monday-ish) so postings may continue to be pretty erratic. Let's shoot for everyone getting their character to the Keruuchan by Monday so we're ready to begin the real thing.]

 

[Seonaid]

Ktarlewaweikye speaks clearly and slowly in Luriani so the officer can understand her. "The deceased was in pain and I was escorting him to the hospital, where he was to receive treatment and then be questioned for something I know nothing about. Somehow his cuffs fell off, perhaps due to the shoddy make of them, and though he made no move to leave or attack, the officers shot him. Many times." Without seeing if he took that as her statement or if he got it all or if he had any questions, she sweeps into the bar.

She goes into the restroom and prepares her blood sample for travel as best she can with the field equipment she has. She then glances at herself in the mirror and then walks back out into the bar proper. She glances around and then walks over to Hergvaer. In a low voice, she asks, "What was that?"
