Re: Chapter IIb: On Your Own

Lorq will try to move to the side so we are not bunched. Make it harder for both of us to be attacked at once.

OOC:

Oh and someone is still on the bridge right?

Ummm we got a situation in here!

OOC:

You, Meyers and I are in the ready room doorway, so yeah, moving out and away from being bunched is good. Zephyr was still on the bridge.

Re: Chapter IIb: On Your Own

Zephyr...we have a hostage situation here. Just a heads up.

OOC:

As a doctor can I tell that if I stunned the hostage and he went limp, would the nails seriously wound him on the way down? I will make an expert medical roll.

Re: Chapter IIb: On Your Own

OOC:

Lorq, Zephyr is the hostage. I would assume he has noticed.

And the pirate has moved to the bridge now. Alex and Meyers are stilla t the door to the ready room, Lorq, you have moved away from them a bit. Meyers is starting to move in the other direction, trying to encircle the pirate with you.

If you manage to stun him, the nails might hurt him some more but he's probably not going to die from it. However, stunning the pirate doesn't seem very easy, so he might have time to kill Zephyr if you choose to shoot at him.

The pirate looks at you, Alex. "You're trying to lure your people here to kill us. Let me and my people escape with a shuttle!", he demands with a monotonous voice. "And drop your weapons!"

Re: Chapter IIb: On Your Own

OOC:

Sorry. Names are my kryptonite. I was thinking that if I stunned Zephyr and they went limp, it might surprise the host enough for us to get a series of stuns in...or even a kill.

It is hard for us to negotiate while you are threatening one of our lives. Besides, we do not kill new life forms we meet. We could have killed you and our guards, but we chose to stun you.

Re: Chapter IIb: On Your Own

Alex moves in concert with Meyers and Lorq, as the three of them spread out evenly around Zephyr and his captor. "We have no intention of killing anyone. In truth, we have offered assistance on many occasions since we were taken on board. As my colleague says, we have had many opportunities to exact revenge and kill many of you along the way, but we've taken none of them. We only want to return to our own people."

She reaches up with one hand to touch the narrow line of blood on her face. "We have no intention of dropping our weapons as long as you hold one of our people's lives in your hands," she says, nodding toward Zephyr. "Nor do we have any intention of killing you. We will have to trust one another. But if there can be no arrangement, then we are at an impasse."

Re: Chapter IIb: On Your Own

The pirate eyes the three of you that are circling him suspiciously. He pulls Zephyr towards the door. Zephyr, his claws dig deep, sending waves of pain through your body.
"Just let me leave the bridge without shooting again. I'll leave this meatbag with you!"

Lorq looks at the others and shrugs.
Does one more out there make any real difference? I vote to let him go. I don't want to lose anyone.

Re: Chapter IIb: On Your Own

Alex winces in sympathy. "Let him go, and you can leave. We can leave each other in peace until we are able to return to our own ship, yes? We don't need to fight one another, and we can go our separate ways."

She doesn't lower her own weapon, nor does she suggest to the others that they do so either. "Just let him go."

Re: Chapter IIb: On Your Own

He slowly inched towards the door, still pulling Zephyr with him. Eventually, he gets close enough to the door, that it opens. He keeps moving until he's right in the doorframe.
He eyes the three of you suspiciously one more time before quickly pulling his fingers out of Zephyr's neck, throwing him forward to the ground and jumping backward through the door, which closes behind him.
Zephyr falls to the ground, bleeding rather heavily from his neck.

Re: Chapter IIb: On Your Own

Alex lets out an explosive breath. "Lorq, see to Zephyr. Meyers, lock that damned door. Lock us down in every way you can think of. I don't want to see another one of those cursed things on this bridge again," she says sharply. A shudder rolls over her body. "I've never seen anything move so fast. I honestly thought we just needed to find a way to communicate and understand one another but... the malevolence in its eyes..."

She shakes her head, and moves over toward Zephyr to help Lorq if need be.

"Well that was unexpected," Zephyr says while holding his hand over the wounds on his neck. "I wonder if that one was stronger than the others. Maybe that's why he was in the captain's chair.

We better hurry and do what we're gonna do before he alerts the others. We don't really want them leaving this ship do we?"

Breathing a sigh of relief, Zephyr moves over to one of the nearby chairs and lets Lorq do his work.
