009: Talking Turkey at the Bartizan

[terrymixon]

All (but by Character)

Now grappled by the warrior woman Bona (who clearly has the strength and melee attributes of a Marine) whilst also held at swordpoint by Frank Provost Maclean shouts "Хватит драться! Stand Down!" He is bleeding heavily from a deep slash wound to the face and may be fighting to remain conscious. He's then again and apparently fatally stabbed by a drone/remotely manipulated dagger.

Bona bounces up and goes after any threats with her robotic daggers.

(OOC: I had a second thought and after review of your helpful link to Swords (Flying) gave the thing a "saving throw" to tactically interpret the situation / apply the law of robotics (if only to Bona only! ). Whatever the sword's brain "thought" (and they are "clever") it stayed it's... er... "unhand" and understood/interpreted the Provost to be non combattant / a POW.

In light of the above please feel free to add/alter your post as necessary (not sure you need to) but there it is! )

They are indeed that smart. Metz builds well.

The dagger will politely request the prisoner drop his weapon and cease moving as it hovers ready to plunge into his neck.

Bona will continue looking for a worthy target with her other dagger.

Walt projects his telekinesis at the the energy weapon and flings it at the nearest PGMP welding armored sailor. He knows he can’t use enough kinetic energy behind it to injure him, but he’s hoping to interfere with any offensive action it takes this turn.

He then runs toward that man and calls for his Flying Dagger as he runs.

Frank Cross

Frank calls out "Men of the Navy, you heard the provost. Stand down and you will not be harmed and will receive medical treatment. These men who claim be provosts are nothing more than criminals send by the King of The Deep to kidnap these imperial citizens. Whether you knew this or not, stand down and you will not be harmed!"

Provost Burgess thinks «Чёрт. Это их психопат по кличке «Nails» — половина «The Red Death»! Этот план идёт очень плохо». On hearing Maclean's order he thinks "Либо Кошки, либо Красная Смерть убьют нас всех! Нам здесь пиздец!" Addressing Prerna he drops his pretense at "Imperial neutral" and in a thick Avastan accent says "I know you. You are Krasnaya Smert' and so we are all dead because no one survives your will. I am Bratva and I do not fear death but I will speak words with it". He shouts loud enough for all to hear "I demand Parlay on behalf of The King of the Deep!" He pulls off his gaunlets revealing tattooed hands and knuckles and then his helmet and balaclava to show a scarred face with neck tattoos.

Prerna steps up, grabs him with her free hand, and shoves him toward the deck at her feet. "Get down on your belly!" She calls through her suit speakers.

"That what bikes? I'm not familiar with them. What magic do they have?"

Dzofin brought up his PDA and showed Metz pictures of the bikes in question along with the really cool side cars. "These are the bikes in question. As for magic they have the magical property of improving the leaders standing with his pack. What better magic could you ask for except a well-padded bitch seat"

Metz will make note of the details. "I'll see what I can do. The bike already has a holographic hull for the display. I take it you want side cars? I can do that."

Dzofin eagerly wags his tail. "Sidecars are essential to carry your important pack members about with you." He glanced at the Aslan assault. "And really good acceleration to get away from an attack by angry Aslan warriors."

Metz leaned sideways to look. Then he shudders. "That is terrifying."

Dzofin chuffs in agreement. "Lots of acceleration!"

Provost Burgess thinks «Чёрт. Это их психопат по кличке «Nails» — половина «The Red Death»! Этот план идёт очень плохо». On hearing Maclean's order he thinks "Либо Кошки, либо Красная Смерть убьют нас всех! Нам здесь пиздец!"

He pulls off his gauntlets revealing tattooed hands and knuckles and then his helmet and balaclava to show a scarred face with neck tattoos.

Prerna steps up, grabs him with her free hand, and shoves him toward the deck at her feet. "Get down on your belly!" She calls through her suit speakers.

"Burgess" lies down as instructed by Prerna. While he doesn't want to die he seems either fatalistically resigned to it or is simply not fearful. He adds loudly "I again ask for Parlay on behalf of The King of the Deep. I have the rank to ask it. I am a Brigadier - an Avtorityet in the Deeps Bratva".

By interpretation of the certainty of his statements Ciencia can verify that he is a high ranking officer in what he knows as Дип братаны.

Held at sword point by Frank Provost Maclean has had his face is laid open to the bone by a flying dagger but he seemingly ignores the pain. He casts about and seeing QSM Henker shouts across the Flight Deck "Авторитет, я вторгся на вашу территорию. Это были мои приказы. У нашего народа нет ссор". He likewise removes his helmet and gauntlets to reveal a street fighter's face and tattoos and tears a blank patch off his armour to reveal a red and white device. He further adds "Могу ли я попросить выпить, чтобы лучше извиниться?

QSM Henker replies «Я вижу тебя, брат» then sends over the comm "Cheeky bastards but you can't touch 'em for "front". These are The Deep's top war dogs. Boss, if we off them out of hand we're at war with the one million people "underneath". Course we could turn 'em over to local law. They'd get life in The Deeps SuperMax - but The Deep own it. Um, the wossname... er, apostrophe's significant here".

Aboard the sub Walt mentally hurls the tripod based laser cannon across the flight deck to land on a plasma gunner quite possibly saving him form immediate death. He notes that the gunner (who he has previously ignored) simply slumps from his sitting position behind the weapon to lie still on the sub's cargo deck.

Frank Cross

Frank looks at Provost Maclean "Get your men to stand down and we will talk. They will not be harmed while we do so."

[Thumper]

Seeing the armored soldier laying still, Walt will direct his telekinetic power to fling the tripod-mounted energy gun at the other armored pirate in the same way as the first…to obstruct any shots and knock him off balance before he/she can harm anybody.. He sends his Flying Dagger at that soldier to threaten it’s vulnerable joints while he holds his Flying Sword to the most vulnerable neck joint of the prone armored pirate.

Kit

Kit will make sure that his team does not escalate the situation and will be considered standing down.

Hostilities cease on the Flight Deck and the Collace Navy shore party drops their weapons and puts their hands in the air. They seem to have poor weapons handling skills and their actions and demeanour suggest a lot more "street" than service professional. Those lucky enough to be facing human opponents seem overly keen to offer their surrender.

The Aslan stop killing per the limitation of both having killed every enemy within reach and having the discipline to not clash with either their 4DC or SEMC allies. Warlord Ikazuchi absently drops the armoured human leg he no longer has a use for and pads over to William and Polly. He speaks like tumbling rocks "Polly Iyhlua, Clan Representative and assistant to my wife Yūgure "The Twilight", you were attacked and insulted by these deceitful criminals". Focussing on the Warlord's feet Polly kneels to proffer Philby's severed hand loudly stating "Warlord, here is the unworthy hand that tried to touch my person and the Clan Mon that I wear. It's owner fell dead next to it - killed by William Larsson Imperial Prince Consort himself. I see a full third of those that came here dead, their leaders squirm on their bellies in fearful surrender and I am unharmed. None can deny the result nor the justice of what happened here". Ikazuchi bids Polly rise and dutifully examines the hand before discarding it "My wife has able and resourceful staff. It pleases me that you are unharmed, Polly Iyhlua". He manages to refrain from patting Polly on the head with an enormous bloodstained paw then bows to William while maintaining eye contact before rumbling ""William Larsson Imperial Prince Consort himself" (sic), it is good for warriors to meet on the field of victory. You have saved me a task so I return one. I will have this worm's head prepared so you may stare down on it and my warriors will execute the criminal prisoners on your behalf". He looks slightly at a loss for anything else to say then offers bluntly "My wife has a new ship that travels in air and deep water". By volume Ikazuchi seems to be addressing all present as he awaits a response. He makes sure to nod to Colonels Cross and Skeet and casts his eye among the "civilian guests".

Walt (and anyone else notionally in melee) sees their opponent surrender. The two remaining Provosts themselves seem keen to negotiate further and their henchmen's preference is to most definitely not be given over to the Aslan.

Prerna pokes her prisoner with her rifle muzzle. "If you value your life, tell us who sent you here. Otherwise, I will have the Warlord question you."

Walt holds his advantage, but doesn’t harm his surrendered foes. He looks over the scene from his perch on the deck of the ship and looks for Bona and his friends.

When assured all is well, he’ll look into the Neural Link recording to see what impressive action Tourmaline performed in the fight to learn what types of things he might be able to learn from her.

He’ll be spring-loaded to advance on the cockpit of the grav sub and capture it should it try an escape.

As the pilots are staring into a heavy pulse laser gun barrel from a couple of meters away, I don’t believe they’ll be moving much.

Prerna pokes her prisoner with her rifle muzzle. "If you value your life, tell us who sent you here. Otherwise, I will have the Warlord question you."

In response to the prod "Burgess" replies in Imperial (with an uncultured Avastan accent). He states simply "The Warlord will kill me. I am Vyacheslav Kirillovich Ivankov, Avtorityet in the Deeps Bratva. I am sent by The King of the Deep who is the Pakhan, the Krestniy Otets. I follow his orders".

Walt sees Tourmaline charge and engage a Navy trooper hacking him down with her axe even as his rifle fire goes wide. She then confronts a huge Aslan and the two seem likely to duel but Lannigan approaches and as her fury abates she puts up her axe.

Checking on the access to the cockpit Walt suddenly notices the slight cowled figure of Sazanami “Ripples on the Water” (Yūgure’s Assistant) standing demurely unarmed on the cargo deck of the grav submersible. Yūgure herself climbs aboard the sub from the Flight Deck.

[terrymixon]

Bona will continue to guard her prisoner. Bianca and Lucius will stay behind their protector.

Aster will head back to Garvin. “We make a good backup Imperial couple.”

Ciencia will walk over to William and remove her helmet, looking between her husband and the two colonels. “This was unexpected. What do we do with them. They attacked us, but they sound like they have powerful backing.”

Roscoe leaned his head closer to Jaelah. “The fight is over and the attackers are dead or captured. Do we go back?”[/dialog{

William bows equally deeply to the Warlord while also maintaining eye contact. "I would be honored by the presentation of the head of this criminal. Justice and honor have been satisfied. The remaining criminals have appealed to the honor of your allies and myself for a parlay." He raised his voice so that all could hear. "Should they or their leader violate parlay then I would request your aid in executing all these criminals and their leaders. In the meantime they will be kept as prisoners."

When Ciencia approached William bowed slightly to his wife. "Grand Princess may I present Warlord Ikazuchi “Thunder” Commander of the Teahleikhoi, the Regiment of the Falling Night." He switched to Trokh and bowed a slight bit less to the warlord. "Noble Warlord Ikazuchi may I present my wife Grand Princess Ciencia Iphegenia Guuilbataashullibaa Alkhalikoi." William then turned and bowed to both together, clasped his hands together and recited;

"Imperial heir
Far seeking, Sunburst gleaming
Warrior and life's soul."
