[b]The soldiers hesitate but the prisoner quickly drops it. After a few moments they lay theirs down as well.[/b]
-
[b]They Scouters digitize them[/b] Now, we can get to the meat of the matter. Lay out why you ran to this System?
-
"I was escaping the prison these tyrants-" "Now sir, I can assure you our governing is nowhere close to tyranny, the rebellion is only a problem because of unruly citizens like this man." "...liar."
-
If you are calling it a rebellion, it must be a lot of unruly citizens then, am I right?
-
"Why no! This man is simply blowing the issue out of proportion you see."
-
Hmm..... So much so that you chased him, a lowly rioter, all the way here?
-
"Well, he was causing the riots to grow much larger than necessary, it was an attempt to reduce the damage. He's one of the leaders of these riots."
-
If you were looking to reduce damage control, why not just let him leave and lock down the Xanar System? The more I hear, the more holes I see.
-
"We had a large shipment of weapons coming in, and couldn't afford waiting for them. A lockdown would've stalled them."
-
More weapons? Why, if your trying to calm people?
-
"We were hoping a heavier arsenal of a few more miltarized police ships would keep them in line. Not necessarily planning to use them." *other guy* "Ha! Funny." *the well dressed man glare at the prisoner*
-
See, the way rebellions work is, the more you push, the more they push back. And vice versa.
-
"Which is why we aren't trying to use the force, just show that we have it."
-
Were honestly going in circles here.
-
"Then let us go, this is of no concern to you. We will try to manage a reward once we get back, however, for assisting in this man's capture." *prisoner* "You're not actually going to hand me in are you?"
-
Ahh..... I am a Bounty Hunter.... Hmm.....
-
"Well, as a bounty hunter, you have the choice between a reward, or a bounty on your own head."
-
[b]The smile disappears from Phantom's face[/b] [b]He steps closer[/b] Was that a threat?
-
"Er, just stating the... eh... The stakes and all..."
-
[b]He steps closer again[/b] What's wrong. Where's that Officer attitude you had before? Getting scared?
-
"I Uh... Your just putting on a lot of pressure is all..."
-
Pressure? You've only seen the surface. [b]He's standing inches away now[/b]
-
*he starts to back away* "I... I thought we had an agreement..." *gulp* *the other guy giggles some*
-
Edited by Bardo XCIX: 9/26/2015 12:40:22 AMI don't recall ever saying that. [b]He looks over at the prisoner[/b] Shut. Up.

"An agreement that we'd settle this peacefully..."
