Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shadowdancer" data-source="post: 1765960" data-attributes="member: 515">Ian, Swann, and Saro head towards the lounge area where the figures covered by blankets (presumably Mark and Koolishu) lie and the hard–looking man in his 20s (presumably Eric) sits in the lounge booth a meter or so away. Ian takes up position opposite the man in the booth (Eric) and glances towards the bridge. Swann moves towards Eric to examine his arm as Saro kneels to examine the first blanket–covered figure. -----Meanwhile, Vasilii boards the Oser as well, moving to just inside the Oser’s airlock. -----At the same time on the Bray Keaven, Kevon and Vargas turn their sensors towards the ghost that Kevon saw. About the same time, they manage to tune their sensors (visual and otherwise), so that they make out the shape of what probably is a man in a vacc suit coming around the ventral side of the Oser towards the Bray Keaven’s belly. He probably has a maneuvering pack on and seems to be holding something half a meter by half a meter in front of him. Distance to the vacc–suited figure is about 12 meters. ETA to Bray Keaven is about 10-15 seconds. Just before Kevon and Vargas are about to shout out a warning, over the open comm they hear someone yell, "Freeze!" -----On the Oser, Saro kneels down to take examine the first figure (Mark), and he finds himself staring down the muzzle of a really big looking pistol and hears the man yell, "Freeze!" A split second later, Eric pulls a snub pistol from underneath his blanket (pointing at Swann), and Koolishu raises a shotgun from underneath his blanket (pointing at Saro, Ian, and Mark). -----Out of the corner of his eye, Ian sees the iris valve to the bridge rapidly shut. -----Vasilii jumps at the sudden shout and then finds himself trapped in the airlock as both iris valves shut suddenly. -----Aidan starts to fool around with the elevator controls but has an attack of conscience and tries once more to cooperate with the crew. "Lounge to bridge. I’m getting nervous up here, gentlemen. Any chance I might come out and arm myself? I’d be happy with the sword, the gun is not necessary." -----Vargas turns to Kevon. "I say we take this guy out," gestures toward the sensor screen, "before turning the laser on the scout. Our guys are all in vacc suits, right? Put a hole in the scout. If nothing else it’ll buy time."-----Swann quickly brings his snub pistol up, pointing it at the head of the seated man. He disengages the safety — but does not fire. "Looks like we have a Vargr standoff here," he says aloud. "I have to find a line of work that doesn’t involve people pointing guns at me," Swann thinks to himself. </blockquote>
