Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[Darth Revan]

((Fixed.))

The Director gives Terenia a look that says, Oh don't insult my intelligence as he speaks, "Oh please, it's written all over your faces. Stop lying to yourself. Either way that's not the important part. The important part is that you've got a gun in your hand, knuckles white as the driven snow, and you're storming towards someone you just broke the heart of." He looks in the air and gives a sideways nod, "Okay, 'storming' is a bit of an exaggeration, but my point is the same. Everything you say will be tainted by that weapon."


Parker saw the ship land and a small crowd assemble outside it. He then noticed Terenia with a gun approaching Corliss. He stood up abruptly and placed a hand on Silver's back asking her patience while he removed himself from the table. He then walked out of the front door. He watched the situation posed to interfere at a moment's notice. Luckily there was already someone in Terenia's way, hopefully talking her down. He couldn't be sure the intentions of Terenia, but he didn't want any harm to come to her. Shooting another patron would definitely bring harm upon her.

[Terenia]

((Her human morph is actually a morph of her sister, so it'd be a late teen/early twenties morph. They were identical twins, so it was as close to getting her old self back as she could get))

[Chad32]

Temrash had been eyeing the exodus from where he sat with Fletcher.

"It looks like my friends might be back. I'm going to leave you to think things over, Fletcher, and we'll resume our discussion later if you'd like."

He walked over to Keiko. "I'm going outside with the others. Don't get nervous, though, as I think it's just some friends back from a trip."

He left the building to join the crowd with the others. It was the Mirage, all right, but the hatch was closed. They must have been successful at capturing Sukohn, and possibly got Terenia's sister, and were taking some last minute safety precautions.

He noticed Terenia looking tense and holding a dracon. The Director was trying to calm her, so he just left them alone and waited. He gave a wave in front of the ****pit just in case anyone was looking.

[Terenia]

The muscles in Terenia's shoulders tense as she turns back around to face The Director, shooting a quick glance in Corliss' direction as she does so. He doesn't seem to have noticed her yet, a fact that makes her stomach sink.

"I am not storming towards anyone." She says in the most reasonable voice she can muster. It comes out in a halting staccato, her words enunciated through her tightened jaw, "I came out here because the Mirage landed. His -" she couldn't quite bring herself to say his name again, "-presence is unrelated. My business is on board that ship, not out here."

[Darth Revan]

The Director stepped back in her way, "You don't seem to be listening to what I'm saying. You're too busy denying your feelings to yourself." He put his hands in front of her to hault any sort of future denials before continuing, "'Whatever you have to say will be tainted by your weapon.' Even if you completely ignore the man who shall not be named, and speak only to those contained in that ship, your words will fall unheard. They will pay attention to only your gun. Everything you say, to anyone, will be tainted by your weapon."

[Terenia]

Terenia lets out what could only be interpreted as a growl, baring her teeth slightly. She is tempted to raise her weapon right then and there on The Director, but she has noticed that the relatively small crowd has grown somewhat, and recognizes that perhaps starting a shootout would be a bad idea.

"Depending on who exits that ship," Terenia says, glancing up at The Mirage, "I'm not too interested in saying anything."

[Myitt]

"Hmm?" says Corliss to Elayne, turning to look.  Terenia is standing some distance off toward the bar, Dracon drawn, and although it is dim it looks like she's arguing with the Director from her tense stance.

His heart beats faster and he swallows.  "Oh, Christ," he whispers, "what should I do?"

<Go and talk to her, mate,> Mike urges.  <Myitt's all right in the end.>

<Yes, but she tried to kill them!> Corliss exclaims.  <She would have cold-bloodedly written off our people just for her own foolish benefit.>

He realizes he's staring just when Terenia looks up toward the Mirage.  Their eyes lock for a split second, and he drops his gaze, still facing Terenia but squinting intently at the gravel beneath his boots.  The little green holoscreen hovers near his side, neglected.

[Darth Revan]

The Director's eyes deepen, "And with those words I'll have to stop asking." He reaches into his trenchcoat's pocket and removes a short oddly shaped flashlight and points it directly at Terenia's Dracon, his finger steady over the button to activate it. He adapts a fencing stance, ready to move or dodge any movement made. "Put your gun away."

Parker sees the man point a device at Terenia and immediately removes his Battle Rifle from his back and raises it. Quickly Thor speaks to him inside his helmet, <Sir, the device is non-lethal. She's in no immediate danger.> Parker lowers his weapon, but keeps it in hand just in case. He also begins to move slowly towards her. He approaches from behind the man, but in Terenia's field of vision.

[Terenia]

A shiver runs through Terenia as she briefly locks eyes with Corliss, quickly returning her own gaze to The Director just in time to see him raise some sort of weapon. Terenia steps back instinctively, raising her Dracon Beam and thumb-dialing the power setting down from 'kill' to 'stun' in one motion.

"This bar is filled with people armed to the teeth," she says tersely, "why are you concerned with my weapons?" She pauses for a second, taking note of Parker moving within her range of vision, "I won't shoot if you don't give me a reason to. I'm asking that you let me tend to my business. Alone."

[Chad32]

Temrash saw Parker raise his rifle at Terenia, but then lower it. The Director was aiming something at her as well.

"Ok, what is going on?" He said aloud to himself. He walked over to Terenia.

"Hey Terenia. You mind putting the firearm away? You're not exactly completely trusted around here. I know we don't keep a constant eye on you, but don't do anything stupid. Why are you so tense anyway?

(I don't know if Temrash is aware that Tamora hates Terenia, so he's not expecting an unpleasant meeting if Tamora is on the ship.)

[Terenia]

"What have I ever done to you?" Terenia spits at Temrash, "Good God, I didn't realize I was being babysat. Besides, he pointed the weapon at me first. I'll gladly lower mine after he does."

[Darth Revan]

The Director moves his aim, obviously following the gun rather than Terenia herself, "See, again, all I hear is 'Gun gun gun gun-gun gun.' I'm concerned with your weapon, because I care about what happens to you. I want to help you, and I can't do that if you're aiming to kill someone. And I'm not aiming at you if you'll care to notice."

Parker continues his slow approach, making no noise as he walks. Which is surprising as he weighs over 1000 lbs. He replaces his BR on his back and removes his swords' hilt from his hip. He gives Terenia a shift of his head letting her know he's awaiting her signal.

[Myitt]

"It's okay, you're with friends," Myitt replies to Derrel.  "My name's Tara.  You got a bit of a knock on the head.  You're on...it's...an airplane.  Yeah, you'll be okay.   Now just sit tight, alright?"

She takes the wired computer cube and climbs to her feet, disinfecting them with a couple of sterile wipes as she walks into the med bay.  

"Hi, Sukohn.  Cody."  She holds up the memory probe device.  "Time for us to get a little personal, hope you don't mind."

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin disengages the transponder and opens the flight-deck door again.  <Myitt, how are you coming?  There's a large crowd out there to greet us...I think it best not to keep them waiting...they look about ready for blows.  Terenia's out there too...not surprisingly.>

[Chad32]

"Uh, yeah you've been babysat since Ossanlin decided he didn't want you going anywhere." Temrash said. "Seeing how you were aiming your weapon around first, you should put it away first."

Derrel instinctively drew his knees up to his chest, but didn't really do much else. "I'm Derrel." he said before Tara went to talk to the tied up guy.

Sukohn shrugged his shoulders at Myitt in his usual nonchalant way. He wished he could have gotten out of the ship before they tried this, but apparently they were playing it safe.
