Qob: Tranquility 10/17/10

[Joe Manning 0]

Joe Manning -> That would be Pher, LaHaye, Duff, and Duff's boys crawling through the maintenance tunnels toward LaHaye's bank ...

Joe Manning -> While the rest of us are in the general vicinity of one of the port district's bridge stations.

Joe Manning -> BEGIN SIM

Joe Manning -> #::Seated on the bench inside the Guardian station with Troy and the others::

Pher -> What a wonderful basement. :: Not a little irony. ::

Dash_Andrews -> #::Detained with the rest waiting on Joe to figure something out...::

T'Aral -> :: Down in the drainage system, attempting to move under the port, rather than across it. ::

Troy Parson -> #::wonders if smoking is allowed in the Guardian station...one way to find out!::

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff> I just stepped in.... something...

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> ::Glances back at Pher:: These tunnels service the entire city platforms with air, water, power ...

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> But I'm sure you knew that. ::Glances back:: You seem the sort who knows her way around a city. ::Leading the group down a tunnel::

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff>::Making sure his boys keep up::

Joe Manning -> #::Looks over at Troy:: So ... once we're off the planet ... I imagine you'll be leaving us at the next port, right?

Pher -> :: Nods :: Haven't been that much of a tunnel crawler. I know the theory, but haven't danced the dance down here.

Mitar Precip -> # William the Guardain>::walks over to the "people" he's supposed to be helping:: ::stands near Joe Manning the presumed leader of this group and whispers:: If he does get in contact with the sheriff I cannot do anything regarding your departure.

Pher -> I'm actually not that much of a techie type.

Pher -> :: Looking about ::

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> ::Stops at a ladder leading up a twenty foot shaft. Looks over at Pher:: That is unfortunate ...

Dash_Andrews -> #::Joe... hearing the Guardian:: I believe that means it's up to T'Aral...

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> Because this shaft is protected by electronic security. Normally, I would use my preferred client status to appease the guards. But this preferred client is a wanted man it seems.

Pher -> You mean the door between these tunnels and a bank has a few alarms on it?

Mitar Precip -> #Wiliam the Guardian># quietly to Joe::::you'll be detained..and discovered who you people are. I cannot do anymore unless I shoot the guy.

Pher -> You're not that preferred, I take it.

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff> I don't like this one bit... we're walking straight in to trouble here...

Troy Parson -> #::to Joe:: I think we should probably worry about the present right now.

Joe Manning -> #::William:: We certainly don't want that sort of incident. We're not in too much of a rush though. Not yet.

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> If the Guardians are looking for me ... they have no doubt contacted the bank staff.

Pher -> And you have no where near the clout of the Guardians.

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> On Tranquility, the Guardians have the backing of the Taurus Brothers. ::Shrugs:: No one has their clout.

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian>::can't believe he just suggested such an action::;::to JOe Manning:: I suggest you rebook your travel plans if that shreriff says no. I don't have any authoritiy here in ports...remember where you met me.

Dash_Andrews -> #::Joe:: If we don't make it off the planet today, I find it hard to believe we'll be getting off for another week... did you SEE the lines out there?

Pher -> How badly does Joe really need that stuff? We could try to brute force it. I could likely take down two Guardians stationed that close together, but after we do that we wouldn't have a lot of time to secure the stuff and get out.

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian ::just stands with his group who is sitting as the other Guardian is on the call::

Pher -> I'd rather abort, go back to the airport, and come back when we have our techie type.

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff> No way in hell no siree Bob... I'm not about to put my boys in that much heat...

Joe Manning -> #::Looks at Dash:: If Minos ain't bluffing, we don't have more than a couple of hours.

Pher -> I'm with you, Duff.

Dash_Andrews -> #::Joe... sideways grin:: I believe you see my point

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> ::Shrugs:: There is, perhaps ... a way to draw them off? Make them believe I am elsewh-- ::Cut off by the sounds of gunfire up the shaft::

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff>::Sigh of relief::

Pher -> :: Looks about for cover, then points Audrey towards the noise ::

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff>::Eyebrow raise:: Think someone is beating us to it...

Joe Manning -> ACTION: Audrey sounds off as a recent burst of pheromones gently falls down the shaft

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff>::Huddles in a dark corner back from the ladder with his Sons::

Pher -> OK. .... Ohhh....

Pher -> Audrey, hush.

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> Are they coming down here? ::Looks over at Duff::

Joe Manning -> #Wilson> ::Emerges from the back of the station::

Pher -> :: Checks to see if these are Deltan flavored... ::

Joe Manning -> ACTION: They are

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff> ::Shrugs to LaHaye... Motioning they should find another way around::

Joe Manning -> #Wilson> ::Looks at William and the others:: Well ... got in touch with the Sheriff. He's got no clue about anyone being cleared through here.

Pher -> Yep. Hush and be prepared to jump a deltan and a few other terrorists.

Pher -> :: Takes A position not too far from where the shaft to the bank meets the tunnel. ::

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> A Deltan? ::Puzzled look:: What is going on up there?

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian>Not a suprise given what's going on....too much. He has Minos on his thoughts and our HQ in ashes.

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff>Deltans? Oh my... ::Motions his eldest to move to the opposite darkened wall for attacking::

T'Aral -> :: Moving through the under-tunnels ... ::

Pher -> ( Quietly ) One of Mino's people is delata, and I'm showing Deltan pheromones.

Joe Manning -> #Wilson> ::Shrugs:: If these folk were as important as you make them out to be, the Sheriff would know about it. I've got to stay on the safe side.

Joe Manning -> ACTION: The shaft above remains sealed

Pher -> :: Points to move everyone to one side of the shaft so there is no cross fire problem. ::

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> You mean to say the Rainmakers are up there? ::Tugs at his collar::

Pher -> Hmm.... I hope they are going to come down this way.... If they don't...

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff>::eyes narrow a bit as his boy is redirected as is he::

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> Listen, this is getting a bit too hot for me now. The Guardians -and- the Rainmakers?

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian>::looks to his guest (captors):: then to Wilson. Red Tape. Sometimes one has to cut it.

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff> ::LaHaye:: You said it chief

Pher -> Yep. Who would you bet to win a fire fight?

Pher -> And do we join in?

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff's Eldest> Let me at'm...

Joe Manning -> #::Looks at William:: Let it go, son. ::Nods to the Guardian:: We'll just have to wait like everyone else ::Grins::

Pher -> Can we open that door brute force and join the fun?

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff> Quiet...

Pher -> :: Looks at the door ::

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> ::Sighs:: If you can give me adequate cover ... I may perhaps enter the vault and grab my safebox quickly.

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> As I will be dead anyway if all you have told me is true, I have little option.

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff> That's taking quiet a chance...

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian> ::feigns an apology:: I am terribly sorry for this inconvience...the Marshall will give the Sheriff an earful I assure you that.

Dash_Andrews -> <<quite>>

Joe Manning -> #Wilson> ::Crosses his arms, looking unimpressed::

Pher -> OK. Let's do that and ad-lib. Can you get the door open?

Joe Manning -> #Well, let's shuffle off, gentlemen. ::Gets up and moves toward the door::

Pher -> If so, I'll wander through first, and try to join one side or the other.

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian>I'll get the door , sir. ::sounds like a butler::

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> Anyone can. It is not locked. ::Motions up the ladder:: Ladies first, please.

Troy Parson -> #::follows towards the door, putting out his cigarette against the wall::

Pher -> :: heads up ::

Dash_Andrews -> #::Stands slowly, putting on a show of handicap for the Guard's benefit::

Pher -> :: Quite rapidly heads up. Ear to the door to judge the fight. ::

Joe Manning -> #::Heads out ahead of the group::

Joe Manning -> ACTION: There are no more sounds of gunfire

Joe Manning -> ACTION: The sound of a female screaming out can be faintly heard

Pher -> :: Opens a crack and takes a look around. ::

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff>::Back against the wall side steps to the ladderway to look up after Pher::

Joe Manning -> Redera> I will kill them, I swear! Keep your people the <censored> away from that door!

Pher -> :: whispers back :: Hostage situation.

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian>::realizes his usefullness is probably at an end...ponders returning to Wilson and turning these guys in....but then hesitates..they could of killed him already::

Joe Manning -> #::Looks over the rioters and back at the others:: Well, we won't be ticking any of those people off, at least.

Pher -> :: tries to see if she can move in without being seen ::

Dash_Andrews -> #::Joe:: Not directly anyway...

Pher -> The woman is a Rainmaker.

Joe Manning -> Redera> ::Quickly pacing back and forth behind a teller's area, releasing periodic nervous bursts of pheromones::

T'Aral -> :: ... finally reaches an access point, climbs up to lift a grate to see how far she is from the Qob ... ::

Troy Parson -> #I think most of them are as ticked off as they get already, anyway.

Joe Manning -> Guardian> ::Poiting a phaser rifle down at T'aral's head:: Good evening, madam.

Pher -> :: Waits for her to be heading away, and dashes out of sight if she could. ::

Dash_Andrews -> #::Grunts a laugh at Troy::

T'Aral -> :: Lets go and drops back down into the tunnel ... ::

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> ::Glances around. Crouches and quietly makes his way into the opened vault::

Pher -> :: Takes cover, and pulls out a small mirror on the stick to use to watch Redera. ::

Joe Manning -> #Well, if no one has any suggestions ... might we retire to the Maze?

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff>::Pulls his overeager Boy down from the ladder and then heads up himself... slowly::

T'Aral -> :: ... bolts laterally to gain cover. ::

Pher -> :: Looks for other rainmakers ::

Joe Manning -> Redera> ::Pacing a few feet away from the three tellers, crouches in one corner with their hands behind their heads::

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guradian> Listen I don't know what you have in mind..but I basically cannot get you in there....and your team member is right...if Minos that bastard is not bluffing you don't have time to wait around.

Joe Manning -> << that should read *crouching >>

Pher -> :: Alternates between the mirror and Audrey to see if there are others with weapons involved, or if it is just Redera. ::

Dash_Andrews -> #::Mumbling:: where is a transporter when you need it...

Joe Manning -> Guardian> ::Not pursuing T'aral. Merely keeping the entrance to the landing pad covered::

Joe Manning -> Redera> ::The only Rainmaker, it appears::

T'Aral -> :: ... proceeds to a different drain access further down the line ... ::

Pher -> :: Wonders if she ought to care about the tellers at all. Wonders if it is the right time to settle with Redera. Mission first. ::

Joe Manning -> Redera> ::Appears to be trying to think out a solution to this problem::

Pher -> :: Listens for active guardians. ::

Joe Manning -> #::Waves to the others:: Let's go. Hopefully, T'aral will come up with something. But if not ... we'll be ready to rush the port with the rest of these people when they get desperate.

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian>I suppose you could ....::looks at the speeder:: Crash it through....you'll draw fire...but once in the spaceport ...the vastness of the area will work against the Guardians..who are holding the crowd back..looking elsewhere.

Joe Manning -> Guardians> ::Outside the front of the bank::

Dash_Andrews -> #::Does not like the sound of that one bit... rushing is not his strong suit::

Joe Manning -> #::Looks at William:: We're not fighting a war against the Guardians, son.

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian>::You are going to end up with a lot of rioters on your speeders viewshield you realizae that.

Pher -> :: Looks to see ho LaHaye is doing with the vault. ::

Dash_Andrews -> #::Joe:: He has a valid point though Boss... they couldn't chase a few for fear of the many... scattering

Mitar Precip -> #Wililam the Guardian>Could of fooled me. ::thinks of his recent treatment::

Troy Parson -> #::looks at them:: You're not seriously considering that, are you?

Pher -> (how)

Joe Manning -> #We've already incited one riot. Are we desperate enough yet to excite it further?

T'Aral -> :: Considers the thought of crossing the tarmac out in the open ... opens tricorder and scans ... ::

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> ::Giving his voice recognition confirmation to the security system on his vault box::

Troy Parson -> #'Are we desperate enough to save our own skins by driving a speeder through a mass of living people,' you mean.

Joe Manning -> Redera> ::Looks over at the hostages:: Stay right here!

Pher -> :: has a cockeyed plan but wants to wait on LaHaye getting his box first. ::

Dash_Andrews -> #Joe, think of it this way... We might be saving more lives than risking in the long run... This whole planet is about to erupt... If we do it on our terms... well.

Joe Manning -> Redera> ::Turns to head back into the vault, an energy pistol raised::

Pher -> :: Gestures to dash to hold his position ::

T'Aral -> :: Locates a junction point where the drain system and the power system for the port share an adjacent wall. ::

Joe Manning -> #::Grabs his chin:: I have the think the Taurus Brothers are going to lift the blockade before Minos' threat ... real or not ... can be carried out.

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff>::Nods Bolt Rifle held tight against his shoulder::

T'Aral -> :: Proceeds ... ::

Mitar Precip -> #Wiliam the Guardian>Listen, coming from a law enforcement point of view..you have not even seen a riot until the next few hours..people are going to rush this port. People will be shot. Many...Guys like Wilson will be there with the snipers.

Joe Manning -> #But ... knowing as much about the Taurus Brothers as anyone else ...

Pher -> :: If she has to pass Pher's position... Pher gets ready to take her, watching through mirror. ::

Joe Manning -> #I guess it couldn't hurt to fan the flames a bit.

Pher -> :: Girly gun left hand, stun stick right... ::

Joe Manning -> Redera> ::Closes in on the entrance of the vault, pointing the pistol in::

Dash_Andrews -> #::suddenly regrets his plan:: This should be interesting

Pher -> :: Starts with the stunner on high power wide stun, closes with the stick on heavy stun ::

Pher -> Hello Redera...

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff> ::Sweat drips from his forehead::

Joe Manning -> #::Looks at William:: Do you -really- think the Guardians would shoot at innocent people?

Joe Manning -> Redera> ::Spins around, pointing the gun toward Pher. Shocked to see the Orion::

Pher -> :: If the gun misses, intends to close with the stick. ::

Joe Manning -> Redera> ::Frozen::

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff>::Fires a shot above the doorway to let his presence be known and hopefully shock Redera::

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian> WHen people start to climb the walls of this port...over the wires..Beating the crap out of eachother to get off this rock...It's going to be bad.

Pher -> :: Tries to freeze her even more, kicking the gun clear if possible. ::

Joe Manning -> Redera> What are y-- ::Hearing the shot, spins and points the gun toward Duff::

Dash_Andrews -> <duff>::Tries to duck down in to the shaftway::

Joe Manning -> Redera> ::Assuming she's under attack, fires back::

Pher -> :: Takes another shot ::

Joe Manning -> #::William:: And you honestly think your colleagues would shoot to kill? Even at a mob?

Mitar Precip -> #Wiliam the Guardian>Do you think all Guardians have a heart? Most are employed for pay or an ego trip...myself the former...but one of those ego guys is going to be up on one of those towers and weill shoot.

Joe Manning -> Redera> ::Shot in the back. Falls forward::

Pher -> :: Rolls to confuse the aim. ::

T'Aral -> :: Locates the access wall between drainage and utility conduit ... snaps TOS Type-1 phaser into a type-II pistol mounting ... begins to cut through the wall. ::

Pher -> :: CLoses to seperate Red from her weapons. ::

Dash_Andrews -> #::Joe:: Have no illussions... he's right someone will get itchy.

Joe Manning -> #Well, do you know any of them? Do you know which ones might get trigger happy?

Dash_Andrews -> #::Je

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian>Then again...they might abandon their posts..But their will be a hell of a lot people here in a few hours.

Troy Parson -> #::lights up a new cigarette:: It doesn't matter if he knows or not...

Dash_Andrews -> #::Joe:: It's not just that... What about someone in the crowd?... they could strike first just as easily

Troy Parson -> #There'll always be at least one, and once one person opens fire, the rest will follow. It's group thinking at its worst.

Joe Manning -> #::Looks toward Troy:: No, Troy, it does matter ...

Joe Manning -> #If he knows which ones might shoot, he could try to relieve them.

Troy Parson -> #If you push people hard enough, even some of the reliable-seeming ones will break.

Pher -> Duff, convince the tellers they shouldn't move yet, if you would please.

Pher -> I've got red.

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian>Again I am not from this district....I don't know the people personally..but when you go through Guardian Training...it isn't Like the Federation....was or is.

Pher -> LaHaye... finish what we came for?

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff>::Stands up from his frozen cowering position in the hole...:: Uh... yea...

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guradian>We are mercs...

Pher -> :: Stands cautiously over Red ::

Joe Manning -> #Well, you two sounded like you were trying to talk me into this. Now it sounds you're trying to talk me out of it.

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff>::Heads out to the front Lobby Rifle in Hand::

Joe Manning -> #::Shrugs:: So we wait at The Maze.

Pher -> Duff, just buy us time to get in and out. Don't let the guardians see you if you don't have to.

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> ::Emerges from the vault with a box:: I have the information.

Pher -> :: Quickly frisks Red. ::

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian> Suit yourselfs..but just dont expect an easy egress to your ship.

Dash_Andrews -> #::Joe:: I'm on board Joe... Fully. But you have to know the consequences...

Pher -> :: Pulls out a set of cuffs.... pink fur. applies them to Red ::

Dash_Andrews -> #Someone will get hurt...

Joe Manning -> Redera> ::Only carrying a map of the district and some false ID's, in addition to the ODRI strapped to her arm and the pistol::

Pher -> LaHaye... Start the exit. We're out of here.

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff>::Pointing his rifle around at the patrons in the bank:: Nobody moves nobody gets hurt!!!

Pher -> :: Slides the pistol to LaHaye ::

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> ::Nods. Glances toward the front of the bank and heads down the shaft::

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff>::Can't believe he's doing what he's doing.::

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian> ::tries to understand these guys..they dont sound like common crooks...or mercs ...or a gang...they seem to have...morals? ::

Joe Manning -> Guardians> ::Perplexed by the sound of a new voice ... ::

Pher -> :: Makes her weapons vanish somewhere, then throws Red over a shoulder ::

Pher -> Anyone think of a way to block the tunnel behind us?

Joe Manning -> #::Shakes head:: I'm not willing to stand by and let people get shot down. Not this soon. Not while we're not sure that Minos intends to burn the entire planet.

Joe Manning -> Guardians> ::Calling in with a bullhorn:: Who is that? Identify yourself!

Pher -> Dash, as soon as I'm down, discourage them, and follow. We're gone.

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian>Just keeps his mouth shut...and allows them to figure what they want to do..he's said all he can.

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff>::Wonders who Dash is :P :: Ugh... right right... ::Points to a the guardians:: You on the ground face down now... ::fires in the air::

Pher -> :: considers ::

Troy Parson -> #If this is going to go without bloodshed, we have to find a way to get rid of the Guardians. And I mean all of them...

Pher -> (( Sorry ))

Joe Manning -> #Unless anyone can think of a way to minimize the loss of life ::Looks at Troy:: And that includes even trigger-happy Guardians, no rioting yet.

T'Aral -> :: Cuts through panel, steps aside to allow cut-through panel to drop away - exposing powerline routing. ::

Pher -> :: Heads down the shaft, following LaHaye ::

Joe Manning -> #::Troy:: Well ... the only feasible way to do that ... would be the threat of another terrorist attack. Or even an attack.

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian>Do you have a slicer? ::to Joe::

Joe Manning -> #::William:: I'm sure T'Aral does.

Dash_Andrews -> #::Sighs:: We're only delaying the inevitable, either we insure our survival and someone else suffers... Or we wait around to see if WE are the ones whos' number is called...

Pher -> Duff, Out of here.

Joe Manning -> Guardians> ::Begins firing into the bank again::

T'Aral -> :: ... hyperpower circuitry: mega-voltage which feeds power to the entire grid, routed across the landing pad for convienence's sake. ::

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff>::Backing back to the tunnel entrance... Fires again then dissappears with suprising finesse::

Joe Manning -> #::Glances up the street::

Joe Manning -> #Troy ...

Pher -> LaHaye.... We want to loose pursute. Want to take the lead?

Mitar Precip -> #::William the Guardian:: Shakes his head...No...sorry Law Enforcement term....Someone who can work with electronics...I mean really well....get into the Guradian COMM system here locally.

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> ::Already halfway down the ladder:: I'm waiting on you, sweet lady.

Pher -> Then don't. Move.

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> Where do you want me to lead you, exactly? ::Jumping down to the tunnel below::

Joe Manning -> #How long would it take you to construct a bomb out of some alcoholic beverages?

Pher -> Away from pursuit, to start. We want to break contact with the guardians.

Pher -> After that, we'll be heading towards the spaceport.

Troy Parson -> #How big a bomb?

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian>::says nothing about what Joe just said::

Joe Manning -> #Big enough to get everyone's attention.

T'Aral -> :: Considers the effects of cutting a hyperpower line ... open mega-voltage ... and standing in a wet culvert. ::

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff>::Drops down and holds position under the ladder a moment:: Well whatever we're going to do... let's do it

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> ::Sighs:: I have never had to evade the Guardians before. When they came looking before, I merely surrendered. ::Guides the group through the tunnels::

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian> ::confused..he thought this guy did not want to kill people::

Pher -> Always a first time.

Dash_Andrews -> <duff's Boy> Wow you were so cool Pop... ::makes bang bang sounds::

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> When they suspect the hidden access, they will begin scanning down here.

Pher -> Look, if they are going to catch us they will be moving fast. If they are moving fast without precautions, I can likely jump em.

Pher -> But I'd rather not.

Troy Parson -> #Throw some gardening equipment in and give me twenty, and I'll give you a bomb that can get all the attention you want...just make sure you set it off very far away from anyone.

Pher -> :: Very agile, but carrying the deltan ::

Pher -> If worse comes to worse, we can leave them this here distraction, but I'd like to keep her.

Joe Manning -> #We'll use an abandoned building. Evacuated if we have to. I happen to know of a hotel nearby where Duke Redding is staying.

Dash_Andrews -> <Duff> It's narrow as it is down here... if the ones above pursue a fire fight would be easy enough... ::running along:: But we need to be prepared.

Pher -> :: Checks for pusuit with Audrey ::

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> A few blocks away maybe or ... no they will seal the entire platform most likely. Down to the planet's surface?

Mitar Precip -> #William the Guardian>I don't have my ORDI..otherwise Id be looking the name up right now.

Troy Parson -> #You know that I don't usually approve of such actions...

Pher -> Surface works.

T'Aral -> :: Considers the alternative ... the stalemate that everyone appears to be in ... no solution until such time as the Rainmakers decide to make their move ... the potential consequences ... ::

Troy Parson -> #But if Duke were to somehow miss the evacuation message, I could look the other way.

Joe Manning -> #Redding's in the hospital. He won't be in the hotel. ::Frowns:: But I'm sure some of the spoils of the raider mission will be in his room.

Dash_Andrews -> #::Laughs::

Troy Parson -> #::shrugs:: That works too.

Mitar Precip -> #Wililam the Guardian>::you guys really need a slicer:: Chuckles...

Joe Manning -> LaHaye> ::Guides the group toward a ladder leading down to the surface:: Always the way to go when police are chasing, no? We can make our way up to another platform and grab a taxi.

Pher -> Sounds good.

T'Aral -> :: Determines that a catalyst is needed - something to break the stalemate. ::

T'Aral -> The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

Joe Manning -> #To The Maze, then. Pete's the only person who'll let us build a booze bomb in his joint.

Dash_Andrews -> <<or the one>>

T'Aral -> :: Takes aim, and fires on the hyperpower circuits. ::

Joe Manning -> PAUSE SIM

 

Mitar Precip -> I am confused about Deltans....

Mitar Precip -> How much pheromones does it take for a Deltan to mess people up....I mean the Rainmaker was spewing them in the bank...yet noone went..well like Nickleles.

Pher -> I was assmuing the dosage was fairly low. She wasn't really in a sexual situation, so wouldn't be kicking out that strongly?

Joe Manning -> Redera was releasing pheromones because she was nervous ...

Joe Manning -> Pher's Audrey is trained to pick up pheromones, so she saw them

Joe Manning -> Nickles was being pumped with both pheromones and drugs

Mitar Precip -> oh okay Joe..so normally a person slightly exposed like the team and Pher perhaps would not be effected.

Dash_Andrews -> well bouncing back to the Motion picture obviously people are drawn to deltans sexually

Dash_Andrews -> but they are trained to focus them for potency and to protect against it as well

Pher -> I am assuming females are generally not strongly effected.

 

Joe Manning -> I guess the power in the district is going to start flickering, fading, dropping, or whatever backup power can provide for

Joe Manning -> In that context, preparing to set up a bomb in a nearby building is the task for our group. However you think you can chip in, take the ball.

 

Dash_Andrews -> but yes a log about what the heck she was doing there with no goons would be good

Joe Manning -> That actually brings up an interesting point, Dash ...

Joe Manning -> There seems to be a recurring feeling that Redera is surrounded by muscle. :)

Joe Manning -> Redera actually works alone, following the transmitted orders of Minos. She's sort of a covert operative, secret service type

Dash_Andrews -> ah, I was under the assumption she would still have had some Klingons with her

Joe Manning -> She used an enslaved Klingon for extra protection when she was holding Nickles

Mitar Precip -> phermone enslaved?

Joe Manning -> Yes

Joe Manning -> Our absent players got into some trouble with a hotel full of enslaved Klingons

Joe Manning -> Except for the maid. Being female, no, she was not affected. :P
