Give him up.

[piratejoe]

If they want to take the Katzar, a leader of a sovereign nation, by force and/or decide to just kill everyone on board they can enjoy the diplomatic incident that will almost certainly make the rest of the world unwilling to trade or support them should someone survive. And I'm sure they wouldn't like that.

[Doubloon-Seven]

Let's not give him up just yet. We might be able to convince them to let us go, after pointing out that we'll only have enough fuel to reach a certain number of places, and certainly couldn't flee. If not, then maybe convince them to get an escort or something. Losing the Katzar would be awful for morale.

[NAV]

Surrender the Katzar.

[Glass]

Give him to them. We just want to find someplace else to live, it's his fault we're in this mess in the first place.

Now, let's try to recover our farming tools. It's not of huge priority because we're going to fucking Antarctica, but they're worth having hopefully.

[Sensei]

"What punishment would you put upon him?", asks a colonist.

If the penalty is capital, suggest exile instead. Explain that we are bound for Antarctica.

"He will be tried before the Parliament, and take whatever punishment they deem fit. I expect they'll want to execute him, though." "And I don't think they'll be happy if we tell them he's in a self-imposed exile. He managed to insert spies into our nation from one frozen hellhole, maybe he can do it from another. My mother always told me, never trust a Vlanladosian!"

And I'm sure they wouldn't like that.

They seem a little nervous at the Katzar's words. Maybe they really wouldn't do it. Maybe they might feel some remorse at sinking an unarmed ship. But, they say nothing.

[Doubloon-Seven]

Another colonist stands and talks.
"...what would it matter if he went to Antarctica? How would we get a spy to Forenia? We have nearly no outside contact, nothing to pay a spy with. Why would we? What possible benefit would we gain from spying? Machine guns and bombs to turn on the walruses?"

[evictedSaint]

Hey Sensei, how do are Katzar's replaced? Is there a Vice-Katzar? Do we hold an election? Does he designate an heir? Is it a Rite of Might sort of thing? 

[TheFantasticMsFox]

Colonist from Iradiatedshitholia: "Good Forenian sirs, we would be horrifying people if we gave up our leader. For free. In return for our preferably ex-leader, could you provide us with escort towards our goal, as well as possibly materials to help us in our hour of need? Surely we can come together over the desire to help our fellow men. We help you get this lost man back to his fellows, and you help us get to our new home in Antarctica. What could possibly go wrong? Also, you and you *points at colonist*, grab him! If you Forenians don't deal, we shoot him and toss him overboard!

ERIN QUILL: "Look, I know that these types try to take their enemies alive and such, but seriously. You're holding hostage your own leader, using him to negotiate with people that want him dead."

(Glass can just steal Quill back when he gets here)

[TheFantasticMsFox]

These fine Forenians want him alive for a trial. Think of it this way, we aren't holding the Katzar hostage, we are holding the Trial hostage. Sorry gentleman, just get an answer to our offer, and we will rally the wagons and give you the goods.

For fucks sake Blue I told you not to do this

[blueturtle1134]

You know what they say about never trusting a turtle...

[Unauthorized theft of character detected]

WENTON CELLING: Wait. There's such thing as an authorized theft?

[andrea]

The katzar voluntarily and peacefully turns himself to Forenians for the good of his people, negotiating for supplies on the way.

He is old and wheelchair bound anyway. He will live longer in Forenia than in Antartica anyway, even with execution being likely.

[evictedSaint]

"I'm gonna go with the Forenians and wait in a nice warm jail cell.  You guys keep going to Antarctica without me."
