When the firing started he swooped back into range to watch the destruction. When the rumbling ceased he landed the vehicle in a corner and took the control activation unit. Then he went and sought out Prema. "What new miracles do these Imperial wizards promise?" He glanced at the equipment still lying about from the demonstration. "Now all they need to do is make something that fits a Vargr."

The redhead leans down and picks up one of her heavy gauss rifles. "Maybe you can have Doctor Metz modify one of these to suit your preferences." She holds the weapon out to him.

Many of my former pack mates would kill for such a piece." He looked around. "Where is this Imperial Grand Wizard lurking? The Vargr must not be left behind in this stampede of wonders and the birth of a nation."

Jaleah, who has been standing close to Prerna and T'Lia with her family, hears the conversation and turns to Dzofin. "No one will be left out, not even the Zhodani. Where there is abundance, there is no need for war."

Voss approaches and says "Sir, you need to hear this. It's on the surface shipping channel in clear. I'll patch it through".

Frank (and anyone either monitoring the local frequencies or that he shares the transmission with) hears:

"Bartizan base, Bartizan base this is CPN Monitor Truculent. You are in breach of Collace Planetary Law and Collace Prime Maritime Ordinances regarding possession of high energy weapons. Standby to receive our boats and shore party who will deal with the offenders. Acknowledge our transmission. Message ends".

(OOC: CPN = Collace Planetary Navy (the "wet" Navy). Monitors are surface/sub surface leviathan craft with the strategic role of close orbital and surface/sub surface defence).

Metz can work from jail.

Skeet adds "They seem a bit keen. Mind you it was a big show. We set off a lot of ordnance from the Asphyxia Terrace... but I squared that away. Frank, I'm fully paid up with the City - how about you?"

Voss pulls up his comm and indicates a payment "It's here - we're paid up too. "City Admin Widows and Orphans" went in last week".

Polly blushes and says "The Twilight has an arrangement with Alderman Gibbons regarding the publication of his... bath house activities".

Forgot to add this earlier.

"Should we have been contributing to something?" Ciencia asked. "That would have been helpful to know in advance."

Your mother shakes her head. “Those are nice thoughts, but people find ways to fight even when they have everything they need. Look at the Imperial Nobility.”

William chuckled for a moment before wiping the grin off of his face and going deadpan serious. "I am extremely experienced at playing clueless and arrogant Imperial noble. I volunteer as the sacrificial ass hole."

The scientist looked mildly offended, but didn't argue.

Metz if questioned:

Roscoe turned to Jaelah. "We need to get your family out of sight. They don't need to be caught up in this."

He turned to Colonel Cross. "My in-laws could use a tour of something far away from here, if you could arrange it."

William laughed and kissed Ciencia on the cheek. "I'll take one for the team. It is my job as Prince Consort. You should suit up as one of your guards if you want to watch things play out." He looked over at Metz who was being hounded by a brightly dressed Vargr. "It looks like our good Doctor will be distracted for a while."

Shaking his head and chuckling William walked over to Frank where his expression sobered up. "Colonel Cross, please call me William or Silencer. I am Imperial Marines crossed with Sword World before I was demoted to nobility. I will be your Imperial face if you need one but I defer to your local knowledge."

helvorn wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 10:57 pm Dzofin trotted over to where Doctor Metz stood. He bowed. "Imperial Grand Wizard I am known as Dzofin and am associated with these mercenaries. I saw what you did for Prema and her gauss rifle. I beg of you a boon to upgrade some of my equipment. We must ensure that these new upgrades work with my people as well and what better example of a Vargr leader that myself?"
