While that's amusing, I don't think we would proceed with the meeting without the medical stuff set up, since Cass was very explicit about Marbo being there and being ready to study the pirate's physiology after the meeting.Mar 14, 2019 4:37 pm
OOC:
Robb, you got the situation right. And I think we can just say you've been there from the beginning and were just focused on taking notes or something and haven't said anything yet because of that.Mar 14, 2019 4:43 pm
"Well, you know how it is," Cass says. "It's hard to keep things in good working order when you have to contend with marauding pirates stealing your people and ships. Regarding your proposal, are you sure ten bodies will be enough?" She drops the irony for a harder look and tone. "The bottom line is, you have taken an unknown number of my people by force for the last several months, as well as stealing our ships. I notice that you don't mention that fact in your demand for reparations."

Kendall stands up and gets close to the force field at the audacious demands of this parasite: "Your people attacked us, not the other way around. They lied to us, had me board their ship under false pretenses, and tried to do to me...whatever it is you do to people.
"You have not given us enough good faith for us to voluntarily kill 10 of our people for you. What compensation do you offer for the damages that you have rendered to us and our crew?!?"

Cass stands up, waving off the response of the security team, and takes Kendall by the elbow, guiding her away from the cage. "You're here as an observer only," Cass says coldly. "If you can't respect that boundary, I can have you confined to your ship. What's it going to be?"

When she gets back, Moira stands on Kendall's foot to pin her down.
Don'tche know anything about subtlety, Lass? Yeh'd never make it a week in Spacefleet. Shut yer trap and hold still.

The pirate grins at Kendall and says in a condescending tone, directed at Cass "You should learn to keep your servants under control. We're having a grown-ups conversation here."
Kendall, by his tone you can easily tell that he is just trying to get on your nerves.
"As for your question, my pretty captain, we are only acting in self-preservation. I am sure your precious Consortium can understand that."

If someone touches the force field, Moira will die.Joking aside, nothing will happen. He'll just notice it, which you wanted to avoid
Edit: I mean nothing serious. He'll just bump against it and not be able to pass through, possibly get pushed back by it a bit

Hero, I'm going to assume that Kendall, grumbling, backs down. If you don't want her to do that, feel free to write something else.bowlofspinach says:

Lav, you could have set them to be more zappy, if you want. This is just the standard setting.His face suddenly turns very serious. His playful grin disappears. "As delightful as it is to talk to you, Tulak, we need to come to the point. There are not many of my kind left in the universe. I know that the preservation of life is one of your Consortium's highest priorities. Are you really willing to murder an entire species of intelligent beings?"
Mar 14, 2019 6:37 pm
"You mean, like what you're already doing?" she says, just as seriously. "It appears from our perspective to be either you or us. If you're willing to discuss potential alternatives for your species' survival that don't involve consuming our bodies and lives, we can open a diplomatic dialogue. Is that a discussion you're willing to have?"

"There are only a few hundred of us. There are billions, maybe trillions, of you. What difference does it make to your species if we inhabit some of you - not more than we need?"
He slowly rises from his chair, even though his hands still handcuffed to the chair behind his back. You can hear skin tear on his hands as he slowly but steadily pulls them through the tight cuffs. A bone cracks in his hand but he doesn't let the pain - if he even feels it - stop him for even a second. "I am proposing coexistence. You are advocating genocide."
Darcy raises her phaser rifle and aims it at the man. The force field is still protecting you all from him but she is clearly put on edge by his behavior.

Kendall backs off, and whispers to Moira, "I will give you 5 seconds to release my toe in order to maintain my friendliness with you."

Moira gets to about 4.9 before she comes out of her daze and moves her foot, not looking at Kendall. She's too fixated on the drawing.
