(I'm just hoping the lawyer saves me from prison.  )

[Kadzar]

Thomas will go the jail to act as Starbeard's legal counselor, while simultaneously working on a posting to the local planetary network for a replacement crewmember, just in case.

"Roh my. Rhwat an unfortunate raltercation."

Is there surveillance footage from inside the bar? Does the bar look like a place that would have surveillance footage? If I don't know from general knowledge, buddy up to some of the police, introduce myself as a fellow officer of the law, tell them I'm actually here looking into some criminals (technically not a lie!) and that I might be able to more conclusively identify some of the malcontents involved.

((I suddenly feel like we should try to get some private investigation or bounty hunter work in the future.))

[randomgenericusername]

(I like the bounty hunters idea almost as much as the being pirates idea. What if we do mercenary work too?)

[GigaGiant]

(sprinkled chariot should probably start preparing his character sheet, in case things don't work out for Starbeard.)

(Also, I tweaked my action a bit)

[randomgenericusername]

(Hey, I still hope that everything will go fine. I'm still not dead so I can still fight.)

[Nakéen]

Interlude 6.7: The Megnat Spaceport (Planet Gavarle)

Katerina wanders around the station for a bit, searching for a hand-held weaponry store.

Katerina left the bar, and looked at a map for the nearbiest weapons store. She eventually finds herself in said store, the shopkeeper hails her from his counter.

"Hey, welcome. Can I help you?"

They are selling all kind of weaponry there. From handheld weapons to rifles, from traditional ammo using ones to blaster-type.

Starbeard slowly gets up and tries to communicate with whatever found him. If they want my weapon, try to convince them that is an outdated and useless old gun that doesn't work.
Starbeard fall asleep
what happen?

Unless I fail to wake up

[Starbeard is Pacified!] (Tazzed)

More coming!

"Roh, you know. Not exactly on rhe force no more, rhjust wondering rhif I can take a look. Rhyou can join me rhif you like, just heard about one dickhead who got away being on this station, curious rhif it's him again. Do an old dog a favor, huh?"

I just want to take a look, he can come along to make sure I don't tamper with anything if he wants to. Maybe I could even help him out!

[Diplomacy +1 Canis Lupus Familiaris +1] [8] -Overshoot-

"Well..."

Before the human policeman can finish, a large humanoid figure appear behind him. Some sort of bluky anthropomorphized gray wolf wearing a police uniform.
"I rheard everything, let that one pass Ketner. RHe rhas a rhonest smell, and we could use some assistance there. Rhey, come with me."

Oh, a 'Wolfman'. A peculiar breed of genetically modified human, or wolf. To be fair no one remember which one is it. Derogatory term Homo Lupus, which is seen as a big insult to them.

On his badge, Jim could read his name: F. Dremus. He followed Dremus into the sole armored police van out there. Now separated from the outside world, he turned toward Jim.

"We retrieved the recordings, rhere, rhave a look."

He pulled a device with holographic display. Some sort of mini computer, in short.

[Jim may look at security records of the bar]

"Aww, I missed all the fun." Sneed sighed, but perked up immediately afterward. "Oh well, maybe next time. Starbeard's a fun guy, I'm sure he'll host plenty more parties."

Take photos. If I see Starbeard, wave at him and yell out my best insult (feel free to roll for this ).

Sneed was a bit dejected. That was quite the one of a kind occasion he missed after all! He absent-mindedly took some snaps of the place, until he noticed the unconscious cuffed body of Starbeard being hauled like a potato sac by a man in body armor.

Well, he didn't know Starbeard was unconscious, and with all his vocal strength, he shouted.

"HEY! IF THAT ISN'T MY FAVORITE [garbled words in some weird language with an offensive feel]! HEY LIMPBEARD! STILL CAN'T HOLD YOUR LIQUOR?"

A policeman showed up right to the left of Sneed.

"Excuse me sir, you know this man?"

Thomas will go the jail to act as Starbeard's legal counselor, while simultaneously working on a posting to the local planetary network for a replacement crewmember, just in case.

[Will keep your action in mind]

While waiting for Starbeard's transfer to a detention ground, he posted a small ad for a replacement crewmember. He was feeling quite jaded.

(Do I not get a luck roll to try to wake up? Even if I know it would almost 100% fail, at least give me a roll.)

Try to wake up again. Otherwise, just have dreams of destroying planets and getting drunk.

[Harry Baldman]

How incriminating is this footage exactly? Do we get a nice shot of Starbeard decapitating a dude at the very start or is it a bit unclear? Is it a CCTV feed or some kind of sophisticated future surveillance?

In short, evaluate the odds of Starbeard dodging a murder rap for this.

[Constitution +2] [4] -Success-

Starbeard, thanks to his incredible constitution, manage to emerge from his stunned state. Everything is still blurry, and his balance is all off, but there is one thing he is sure of.

Somewhere close, he hears these words carried by Sneed's voice:

"HEY! IF THAT ISN'T MY FAVORITE [garbled words in some weird language with an offensive feel]! HEY LIMPBEARD! STILL CAN'T HOLD YOUR LIQUOR?"

In short, evaluate the odds of Starbeard dodging a murder rap for this.

A plain, traditionnal CCTV feed it is. Jim starts the recording shortly before the situation exploded. He quickly locates Starbeard, leaning against the counter and scribbling on his notebook.

Then a group of men comes to him, surrounding him quickly. From their unsteady walk, they are clearly heavily inebriated. One of them empties a glass of liquor over Starbeard's head, and everything degenerates from that point onward. In less than a second, Starbeard has drawn his weapons, wielding them with both hands.

One man got his throat cut open, and another got blasted at point blank range by Starbeard's Flintlock Blaster. Well, that's pretty damn incriminating. Following that, two opposite groups of humans and non-humans start exchanging fire, with some aiming at Starbeard.

Rewinding a bit more, Jim notices that these groups were seemingly already staring daggers at each others before Starbeard even entered.

[Kadzar]

Thomas will try to get a private meeting with Starbeard, and maybe even try to post bail.

[Harry Baldman]

"Hrrwell... that's definitely Starbeard there." Captain Jim looks at Dremus. "Rrhyep. Seems like he got humiliated by a bunch of drunks and responded by massacring two of them. Rrhlemme give you some context on the guy - nonstandard human, one of them Space Pirates, capitalized, if you know what I mean. Nonverbal, none too bright and recently real prone to doing stunts rhof this general nature. Bought in on my shipping venture and thus far we've been on two planets rhand he's fucked things up on both of them within the hour. The first time he unloaded our laser turret several times rhon the inside of the spaceport - authorities came along, said he was some kind of ex-pirate captain, extracted some info rhin return for letting him walk free. Figured rhI'd give him a second chance as well, you know, but this is way rhover the fucking line for me though, shoulda known he'd screw the pooch as soon as nobody was looking."

"Don't think he's mixed up rhwith rhese other perps rhin any plausible capacity, however. Who are they?"

Get background on feuding criminal organizations after informing Officer (detective?) Dremus about the sordid character of my erstwhile partner while clarifying that he's probably not part of whatever shitfight those other gangsters got into.

[randomgenericusername]

Remain calm. Try to reach for my marker in my pocket. If succesful, write on the ground.
Starbeard want lawyer
Starbeard has rights

[Coolrune206]

"I want two things. First, a weapon that will fire well in space and has some decent range on it. Preferably ballistic. Second, I'd like a hand-held drill of some kind. Laser or physical, either is fine."

[Failbird105]

posting to watch and waitlist, couple questions,
1. Can we borrow species from other fictional works
2. Can I make my sheet now?

[GigaGiant]

"Yes officer, I certainly do. Starbeard's my friend. In fact, I'd even consider us best friends. I was just yelling out some friendly insults at him. Space Pirates love those." Sneed said, proud of its demonstration of cultural appreciation. "So, why do you ask, officer? Oh! Was I yelling too loudly? You have my sincerest apologies. I'll try to keep my volume down."

Cooperate with the officer. Answer all of his questions honestly and to the best of my knowledge. If he's skeptical of my friendship with Starbeard, prove it by showing him the 'party invitation' that Starbeard sent me earlier.
