In retrospect, it was probably the 'wenches' snipe that had Seally's blade out and slashing.
The Static Blade, a symbol of her house, a gift from a beloved great uncle for her efforts to safeguard House Llewyn when she discovers an embezzler. "Every good sword has a name. Find hers."
She was trained in this weapon more than any other, and while it was overkill for a bar fight, she was provoked.

Thorkell is left speechless as Seally produces the finest blade he's ever fought against. The static blade is no more deterred by his armor than by paper, and he shrieks as it cuts his flesh: "Fucking kill that bitch!"
While Thorkell clutches his wound, his two pals advance, drawing long hunting knives. The first comes at Zuni, slashing like a psycho with his tongue hanging out. Zuni holds his own and avoids every cut, though it's close.
The second comes at Fallon, eyeing her lecherously. Though adrenaline takes over, she isn't fast enough and the thug strikes her arm hard enough to break through her lightly armored shirt.

Seeing things rapidly escalate, even as she crosses the bar, Alerio breaks into a run!
Mar 22, 2023 3:22 pm
To say that Zuni's ire rises would be an understatement. When Fallon gets slashed, he sees red and pulls out his laser pistol, aiming at the jerk. "You bastard!" Zuni shouts as he trains the weapon on the bully and squeezes the trigger.

Zuni's pistol discharges and blasts Thorkell right in the chest, just as he was about to draw his sword. He stands still for a moment, smoke wafting from the hole in his armour, then falls backward.
The few other patrons in the bar suddenly start to run for the exits, including Albright and the JSI squad.
"We yield!" cry the Sword World lackeys. Their knives clatter to the floor as they reach for their fallen boss, dragging his unconscious form toward the rear exit. "We ... don't want any more trouble."
The bar is dimly lit, so its hard to know what other patrons saw. Your characters might realize that with all the droids around, there's going to be video evidence of what happened. If you wanted to eliminate or tamper with it, you'd need to locate the control server, and it's a good guess is that it's in that golden Buddha that runs the bar.

OOC:
The good news is you've soundly defeated the Sword Worlders before any of you got seriously hurt. But, possession of firearms is prohibited by law here on the station, and you can guess that shooting somebody with one would also be frowned upon. It looks like everyone's making themselves look scarce, including the Sword Worlders. Authorities will likely be here soon. What's the plan? Sticking around to face the music and explain the situation? Make a run for it? Something else?The bar is dimly lit, so its hard to know what other patrons saw.

One arm bleeding, Fallon hugs Zuni with the other. "Thank you! Oh my stars that was stupid, but thank you!" she breathes in his ear. Pulling away, she says to the others, "Our best bet is to stay put and argue self-defense. They drew first blood so maybe that will help our case. Alerio, you weren't involved in time so you can make yourself scarce and save yourself some unnecessary heat." Fallon looks for a cloth napkin to wrap around her sliced arm.
Mar 23, 2023 4:12 am
Fallon's breath in his ear at any other time would have been delightful. Instead, Zuni was consumed with guilt. She got hurt because of him and his temper. He risked the entire group. True it was provoked but there were other ways....
"Here take this," he says sheepishly as he grabs a napkin that looks unused from a nearby empty table. "It looks clean."
As he tends to Fallon he realizes he has a problem. I think I have to go make myself scarce. I used that pistol and if the patrons didn't see it, the droid cameras surely did. Or maybe I need a disguise. I don't think pleading our case will help me with this weapon here. Any ideas ladies? Ruin the video footage maybe?"

Seally shakes the blood off her blade, satisfied that it's clean, resheathes it.
"That's exciting!" she says, her breath short from the sudden rush of adrenaline that accompanies the violence.
"Let me check the penalties quickly for carrying a prohibited weapon. Sees if we need to get Zuni scarce." She uses her portable computer to access the station regulations, downloads them, and then searches the local copy for weapon offenses.

Seally finds out that Elixabeth is listed as having a "moderate" law level, but this is a fairly serious offense. Probably a steep fine at a minimum, plus up to a years' time served on the planet's penal colony.

"Bad news Zuni. Could be real prison time for using that pistol. I suggest you apply pressure to the wounds and hope he pulls through. The attempt alone might buy you sympathy with the magistrate."
Mar 23, 2023 11:49 pm
Alerio screeches to a halt.
"Give me that!" she demands of Zuni. She rifles through her jacket quickly, hands starting to shake.
"Quick!" she says, as she finds her identification. She pulls out her old badge, and shines it up.
"You don’t know me. When the uniforms show up, I’ll say I took him out defending some citizens. The boys in blue might look a little kinder on one of their own."

"That doesn't solve the problem with video evidence. Anything that doesn't involve submitting yourself will be useless unless you destroy the evidence. Not to mention the witnesses." Fallon finishes tying the napkin around her arm. She finds a glass of water to wash some of the blood off the rest of her.
Mar 24, 2023 1:00 am
"A couple of uniforms walking a beat aren’t going to bust their asses hunting down whoever shot some jerk off Sword Worlder, believe me."
She looks to the entrance. It was a half lie. They wouldn’t care about the Sword Worlder. But the weapon…
"Chances are, we could walk right out of here and no one would raise an eyebrow. I don’t think dive bars like this would make much money if they were cooperating with police."

"We could get rid of the evidence. Anyone interested in doing that?" He looks at the man with disgust when Seally mentions helping him. "I'm not touching that ass Seally. He can die for all I care. Maybe we should make a run for it. I don't know what the best course of action is and I'm really sorry for putting us in this situation."

Cops are coming on the scene in 2d6 minutes!Hack the security computer to erase the video and any backups: Average (8+) Electronics - Computer (INT/EDU, 2D minutes).
* You can rush (half the time) it at the cost of DM-2 (or double the time for DM+2, but that's pushing you're luck)
* You can try to make it seem like nobody tampered with the video by raising the task difficulty to Difficult (10+)
You can also try to just shoot up the computer, which is a lot faster, but if there are backups off site, it won't take care of them.
Destroy the security computer: Routine (6+) Gun Combat (DEX, 1Dx10 seconds)

Seally uses her portable computer to hack the droids and corrupt the footage. She doesnt have time to spoof the Sword Worlds shooting their own guy, so settles with eliminating direct recordings involving Zuni and his gun.
"Let me see what I can do..."
Fallon looks over her shoulder, suggesting she puts two squiggles before dropping the hash table. "Right, right. Let's try this!

Seally and Fallon get to work on deleting the footage of the event, as well as any evidence of them committing this act. Seally climbs up onto the statue and inserts a datajack directly into the brain of the system. It takes a while to bypass security, but the two of them are confident they've accomplished the task once they're done. They even locate an off-site backup server and upload the changes.
As they complete the task, anyone posted as a lookout spots a group of five station security guards approaching. They are approaching, armour-clad and weapons drawn.
Also, Zuni and Alerio had 10 minutes of time to be doing something. Feel free to post any actions you wanted to take during that time. For example, the weapon is still on your person - perhaps you disposed of it? Attempted to reprogram the bouncer robot to delay the police? Paced pensively? Something else entirely?

"We’ve got company!" Alerio says, having come in from outside. She had stashed the pistol two streets over, and then come back to keep watch.
"If you’re just about done, it’s time to move!"
