The Rogue had remained silent this whole time. She couldn't entirely hear Lia and Tenebros' conversation, but she didn't miss the voice change or the dropping of his disguise, and body language is telling to one practiced in reading it. On raids, body language was often the only way to know what was going on.
"A.C.," she murmured. "Out the door, run for your life and hide. Find this card thing before they find you."
Aloud, she said, "Marshal, drop the gun. Neither of us care, I think we've made that clear. Prisoner, yes, we would. Not even a foreigner deserves death by spidrill, not when rescue is so close. But you're giving us time to think, time to choose, and we choose to let you t'ft yourselves and figure your own way out. We, on the other hand, have nothing better to do than wait for our next existential state." She stepped forward, covering A.C.'s exit. "So, who wants to shoot me for your condemnation?"
A.C. slipped out the door as unobtrusively as she could, then ran.

"No honor among thieves?" Syx shook her head, "Death is death, kid, Spidrill or not. I have a feeling you're just being stubborn for the sake of being stubborn." She spat to the side. "Honestly have no respect for your kind, and before you take that as a racial slur, I very much mean that in a different sense. You can blame this on us threatening, you can blame it on the fact you're already fated to die, you can blame it on the fact that you've been beaten, abused and left to die yourself. It's just blame, it doesn't change the decision you make when you leave a ship full of people to die. When all is said and done, you're not much better than a spidrill." As AC began moving for the door, Syx took a few shots at Lanita, and with her enhanced speed pushed past the Rogue and after the girl.

Das Steube Eulalia Danae The suit beeped, a loud warning, and Lia had to struggle to calm herself to a far extent than ever before. "Benefit to us? I'm not looking for any benefit, and I don't want anymore lives on my head, enough trouble has been caused, enough has been lost. I hesitated once, and the result was a massacre, and this suit." Xeen paused, a brow raised. "Has it ever occured to you that the possible benefit could be getting you OUT of that suit? Or that I might be capable of removing it myself?" He stood straight, his eyes narrowing, "If we want to leave here alive, and not just you or I, ANY of us, that stone MUST be in our possesion. If we can join forces with the law woman and her paramour, then that is what we must do. If we have to kill a few convicts and degenerates, then I will gladly do so. I plan on leaving this ship alive, Ora. What say you?"
She glanced in the direction of Lanita, and tilted her head curiously. "I'm surprised, but I always am by mortals and the choices they make."

She grabbed Syx's arm with her gloved right hand and twisted, tasering the mashal. "Try again!"

Jarred had just finished sending his reply, which read.
When he turned at Tenebros' raised voice, then at the firing of rounds. He moved to the side, holding his gun up glancing around, seeing Syx running and Rogue taking a swing at Syx.
Jarred dropped to one knee, taking careful aim, and fired two shots, one at each of Rogue's knee-caps.

Having been shot five times without trying to dodge and still losing her target, the Rogue screamed and smacked her right hand on the ground.
EVERYONE was tasered, glass broke, plastics warped, and the lights went out. Anyone touching raw metals would be scorched where they were touching it, and alloys would give the equivalent of a raw rub. Any unprotected software would be wiped, half-protected software would be damaged, Jarred's PDA is no doubt untouched and the containment suit suffers zero damage or tampering.
The Rogue bleeds and is crumpled painfully on the floor.
A.C. is also in some very serious pain, and cannot see. She is leaning heavily against the doorway out of the prison.
((And that is where I get the leaning-against-the-wall pose for her. I know it would come up sometime, if I just waited for it! biggrin W00t!))

"Ah sonofawhore!" Jarred cried out, dropping his gun, his palms scorched, and his entire body seizing up as he fell. His own tendency to curse quickly amplified by the current through his body, leaving him muttering '********' over and over, fast enough it was hard to understand what he was saying.

((And with all the cute little implants and augmentations, all the things people are doing to one-up each other, everyone BETTER take the damage here. Significant amounts. The Rogue's glove is not able to do all that, I was pushing things just to do what I did in the hallway, but this is not fair. I'm trying to be as reasonable as I can, but I swear to God, every last one of you is making me change my characters just to keep them all from dying. If you don't take this, frankly? I can't play it. That's not what this was supposed to be, at least I thought it wasn't. I thought me were all done playing superhero, except for certain immortals who've since grown up and changed. If this doesn't settle down, I'm going to switch and play my characters realistically despite you, and I can tell you right now they're both going to die. As odd as they are, they are too normal for all your characters.))

Xeen's eyes went wide as the surge went, his only mental "implants" going haywire, scorching brain tissue as he fell to his knees, not speaking, and hardly breathing.

((All right, I'm confused now. Is this because Syx avoided your attack? You grabbed her arm and I considered that a little presumptuous, which was why I wrote her out of it the way I did. I figured it was a completely fair call when you completely ignored her gun shots. I could have used "superhero" actions and ran and grabbed AC, but I didn't. And all those gun shots for syx, were on stun, just to clarify. She never had any intention of killing anyone. I would write more, but I would sound mean, very mean, and I'm not going to be mean while angry.))
Syx dropped to the ground, gritting her teeth as the shock wave ran through her. She yelled some very nasty words, all with a very very unusual accent.

((Kill or stun, the Rogue took the shots. Presumptuous is saying you pushed past her, and any kind of pushing would rather easily put you close enough to be grabbed.
Aww, screw this.))

((you just want an argument, and I'm not going to give you one. I'll say things I'll regret. But do ******** not blame your characters death on me, because heaven forbid I tried to push past your character and then blocked her ******** attack.))
