If your so caring why did you drug me and where is Dan? Roy steps back and shakes his head. And why you helping slavers anyways.  In my books that makes you one of the bad guys.

"That's because you are an ignorant fool." Jek says with a contemptuous laugh.

"Firstly your friend is out securing weapons for the escape.  Secondly if I was  tryly helping the slaves then why are their two unconscious guards lying at your every feet?  Thirdly I drugged you because after you little tirade before I needed to keep you quiet until the right time.  There was a time to move but not when you thought it was."

"Perhaps working for slavers makes me a 'bad guy'.  Me personally did what I could do.  I'm no soldier, I have no army.  Slavery is legal on this world so when I learned of these poor souls what did I do?  I came to work here so I might see that these people could at least get some food and basic medical care.  I lacked the facility to save but at least I could provide some more measure of comfort."

"Fortunately I recently made contact with a group of mercs.  They were planning to raid this base anyway.  So I helped them out with passcodes and they agreed to help me free the slaves.  They're assaulting the slavers even as we speak.  So learn to keep your mouth shut and you might even live to taste your freedom."

Tired of dealing with Roy, Jek turned away to try and spot Daniel.

Daniel ducks quickly back into the cell holding the blaster rifle in his hands. Spotting Roy he nodded. "It's about time you got up. You awake enough to handle one of these?" He asked as he threw Roy the blaster pistol he had picked up from the gaurd earlier.

Daniel then turned his attention to Jek. "Are we ready to get out of here? I know they have my equipment here somewhere so if you know where it is we could stop and pick it up on the way out."

Doc a little I'm going to drug you now and not doing it might have been a big help.    Roy grabs the blaster Thanks Dan.   Now if we can get to a security rooms we might be able to spot this team thats here to save us  Roy takes a breath And while we are there I might be able to alest put a video loop in to the cameras so they won't be able to follow us on the way out.  sound like a plan

Jek stared at Roy flabbergasted for a few moments.  'Is he taunting me or is he really that stupid?'

Instead he turns his attention to Daniel.  "There is an assault happening on this base as we speak.  I was contacted by a mercenary group a few days ago who planned to attack the base.  I think they want to steal some equipment but I agreed to help them if they helped me rescue the slaves too.  They agreed but that doesn't mean they will keep their word."

"Your gear I managed to acquire from storage.  Its in my quarters in the medical centre next door.  Any credits you had will be gone sadly.  Any armour or weaponry you had will undoubtedly be in the armoury in the security centre.  I doubt we can reclaim.  Sorry, I did what I could."

Jek pulls out a commlink and flips it on.  "The mercs gave me this to keep in touch with.  They assure me its heavily encrypted.  I hope they're right."

He thumbs it on.  "This is wild card.  Have arrived at the party.  All of the partygoers are drunk.  I have two friends with me waiting to crash the party."

Jek shrugs.  "Some code their contact gave me."

"Since we have two pistols and one rifle we should split them up between us.  I'll keep the hold-up as a backup.  Daniel you look military.  Perhaps you should take the rifle and give your pistol to Roy there.  Assuming he knows which end to point at the enemy."

Daniel frowned at the news of the lost equipment. "Oh well you win some and you lose some and it's not worth risking our lives over."

Taking the blaster rifle in his hand getting a feel for the weapon. "Yeah this brings back some memories...." he mumbles to himself as he examines the familiar weapon of any stormtrooper.

"Well I guess our first our first order of business is contacting this mercenary group. Once we know where we are going we can move out. I'll keep watch to make sure we don't have any unexpected company." He said as he turned his attention back to the others.

Jerk oh sorry I mean Jek..Look you act like I am to know what is going on in your lettle head.  If you had a spot where this team where to meet you could have just siad so. Roy starts to get a vain in his head. As as far as being ignorant  less see how that happened.  oh yes a some "doc" pushed be down and then couldn't figure out how to med some one up.  Where did you get your training anways? takes a deep breath Then I come to see my friend gone and see the man who almost killed me is in the room what do think is going to go accross my mind?  and it's not ask him how to bake cookies  Roy looks over at Dan But if Dan think your good I will play along.  Jek you just need to put yourself in the shoes of others before you speak.

Jek turns to regard Roy once more.  "Look Roy, what you don't know could fill a space cruiser a million times over.  I'll make it really simple.  Either you play along and help me get the slaves out of here. . ."

He then turns his blaster on Roy.  "Or I pump a few stun bolts into you and leave you here.  You can then tell the slavers you weren't a part of this if we fail.  Either way, you can either start providing productive comments, shut the hell up or I give you another nap.  Am I clear?"

Whilst Jek stands with his blaster pointed at Roy, the doctor's comm beeps and all three of the occupants here a man say:

"Wild card.  You are ordered to hold your position and defend against aggresors.  Once we are secure a team will come to you.  Out."

Jek what is your deal? you say you are here to help but you relly don't sound like it. Roy looks down at the blaster I mean you holding a blaster at me.  Could you think about what you are saying then think about what you are doing Roy looks at The doc I tryed to give you a plain and you called me a fool.    Roy rasies his had with the blaster in it. Mine is not on stun.  So why don't we start acting like growen ups for a bit?

Jek wonders if freeing this ROy chap was a good idea.  'His report read like he was capable but he honestly doesn't get it'

"Let me lay this out really simply for you.  I have been planning this for some time.  I don't need you and your 'I'm gonna fake being sick' act in front of a bunch of guards who've seen it a million times before.  Nor am I going to risk all the lives of the slaves here to soothe your wounded pride.  You clearly have no concept of what is happening."

He takes a step back and bring his blaster up so there is no way Roy can miss it.

"Sorry Daniel if this guy is your friend but he clearly can't comprehend the magnitude of what is happening here.  Everything I do is to keep the slaves alive.  ALL of them."

Now this is your final warning Roy.  I have a rescue to try and effect here.  I would appreciate your help but can manage without it.  Either offer constructive ideas, shut up or take a dirt nap."

Well Jerk I..I..mean Jek why don't we put dwon the guns and you just tell me what you need me to do.  Roy lowers his gun.You may have got the wrong idiea about me when I came too but it did seam like you just tryed to off me and my only friend at this point was missing.  SO I will go first sorry about that but I how was I to know that you had a plain untill you told me.  I can't read minds.  Now if you where a droid I got your number there.  So that in mind what is your plain so that I my help the great king Jek

Jek sighs.  "I'm sorry too Roy."

With that he starts firing his weapon at Roy until he goes down.

"Sorry you can't grow up and act with an ounce of maturity.  If you can't even stop your petty insults I can't trust you to watch my back."

Roy will return fire.

Jek fires his blaster, taking Roy (who has lowered his) by surprise.  The doctor's stun bolt takes Roy in the centre of the chest.  Shuddering under the shock, Roy falls to the ground, incapacitated.


OOC:  I'd hoped you two wouldn't come to this but I'm not gonna interfere.  I would like to point out there is enough baddies outside to shoot without takig down each other.

At least stun is very short acting.

Guys please try to sort this out (once everyone is upright again of course!

Daniel, who had been paying very little attention to the argument of Roy and Jek, stood at the cell's entrance and watched for enemies. At the sound of blaster fire he whirls around with his weapon ready.

"Couldn't you two have just worked things out?" He said as he looked at the unconscience Roy. "We need as much help as we can get you know." Pausing for a momenthe turned back to the situation at hand. "Oh well what's done is done. We've got more important matters to attend to like getting out of here. What's the news?"

Daniel turns back around as he waits for an answer. "I guess I'm going to be the one carrying him out...." He mumbled to himself unenthusiastically.

"Not really."  Jek says, holstering his weapon.  "I've never seen a stun blast last more than a minute at best.  Secondly, we haven't worked out what we plan to do so we can use that time to organise.  The mercs want us to hold position.  Are you suggesting we ignore those orders?"

Jek reaches down and picks up Roy's blaster.  "This was set to kill.  When Roy pointed this at me he told me he would shoot me with the kill setting.  How can you convince me this man will be a benefit to our attempts?  Can I trust him to watch my back?"

He laughed "I'm not blaming you. You did what you had to do. Wi ould have done the same in your situation. I just know that with you two fighting each other it is leaving me to deal with any slavers that might show up. We've got to be on our guard."

Daniel nodded in the direction fo the other slaves in the cell. "You got any ideas of how we are going to get everybody out of here? I'm guessing these mercenary friends of yours won't be giving us much time to sit around thinking of something to do with everone once they get here."

Daniel looked back at Roy. "I sure hope it's cabin fever or something because we certainly don't want him causing any trouble once your friends get here."

Jek allowed a sigh to escape him.  'This guy's got his head on straight.'

"My plan relies largely on the mercs.  I think they're planning to steal as many of the ships as they can.  If they get one of the transports we can load up all these guys and escape.  If they wont take us, well I'm planning on them causing enough damage for us to either jack our own transport or at least clear the path to the main gates."

"As for Roy. . .Look, I'll talk to him when he wakes up.  I had hoped he'd catch on to the situation faster but I guess I'm assumed to much.  You guys have been locked up for a while.  He does need to know when to keep his mouth shut though."

"As soon as Roy's up lets move into the medical centre.  That way we pull any guards away from the slaves.  I'd rather they were gunning for us, not innocent bystanders.  Besides, I have your gear there."

The effect of the stun blast wears off quickly.  Only thirty seconds after being shot, Roy is waking up.

Otherwise the jail is still quiet.  Either nobody has noticed your escape or they just haven't done anything about it yet.

Roy stands up and rubs his chest.  Looks around for a second.  Thats nice doc I mans puts his gun down and you shoot him.  Nice and you say how can you trust me.  I didn't even have my gun pointed at you when you shot me.  Dan I had lower mygun in good faith when this man shot me.

Daniel sighed. "Come on Roy get a hold of yourself. Whether you like it or not Jek is our best ticket out of this place right now. You may not believe what he has to say and may not trust him but he did help me take out those two guards while you were out the first time and atleast has the common goal of getting out of here. We're gonna need all the help we can get right now so we've got to stay focused. Once we get out of here then you two can settle everything but right now we have to worry about getting out of here. You've got to think beyond your own life here because we are all in this together and we've got to work as a team, atleast temporarily."

Turning his attention to both individuals. He nodded "Now can you two atleast put aside your differences for the moment because we need to move."

Where to Dan

"Jek suggested we lead any slavers away from the other prisoners. Since they have no will to fight they will only be innocent liabilities. Our equipment is in the medical facilities so we can hold up there until our help arrives." Daniel says as he motions out of the cell towards the infirmary.

It seams that I no longer have a blaster so you lead on.
