(Fegh and Kassidy)
The two of you find yourselves in the back of a SWAT hovercarrier, with several other soldiers and police officers. Captain Leenik, the legendary Skrayper Spike tail, chews on an unlit cigar as he addresses you. "alright, from here on out, you are all my deputies - I don't give two flicks of a firefly's wings what your rank is, you all answer to me - got it?' He scans the room before continuing. "Alright, tonight the job is crowd control, there's a situation at the hospital in Victory Gardens - some anti-bio-Freak protest groups are rallying there and causing a ruckus. We break it up, keep the peace. Sound simple enough to you knuckle draggers?"
(Balus and Krystal)
Your kiss is interrupted by shouts. You open your eyes to find the power has gone off in the hospital.

Krystal almost disappointed that the kiss ended so quickly but scans around to see what is going on. "The power is out. That is unusual." She states the obvious while floating back to the ground halfway between cloud 9 and exhaustion. Still she does her best to keep the forcefield in place to at least protect everyone else from the laser Treena is producing.

Balus opened his eyes, annoyed by the interruption. " Sis, you just relax here and try to keep that firepower under control. I'm gonna go find out what is going on. Krystal, you coming or staying here with Treena?" He wasn't waiting for an answer and was already heading towards the corridor to find someone to ask what was happening.

Krystal takes a moment to think and obviously is too late by the time the decisions is made with Balus being halfway down the hall.
"I am just too tiirr....Well I guess he is off being a hero. I just don't have the energy left in me Treena right now." Her statement true even as she still maintains the field that is keeping the lasers from hitting everywhere. "But don't worry Balus should be safe."

Kassidy replies in the affirmative to the Captain, a little awed by his presence. As they settle in for the trip, she shifts a little uncomfortably, then turns her attentions bac k to the Captain. "Sir.. ROE?"

In the corridor, Balus noticed Krystal wasn't following him, and let out a bit of a sigh of releif. No so much that he had to worry about Krystal, but more that he knew she would keep Treena safe. He approached a nursing station and waited to be acknowledged," Excuse me, but what is going on? Doesn't the hospital have a backup generator or something?"

"THis is a peacekeeping operation - do not use lethal force even if fired upon. Non-lethal is to be used if you have to. It's riot suppression 101." The Veteran Skrayper responds. "That work for you?" He says to Kassidy.
"I'm sorry Mr. Walkir, but we seem to be-OH!" The floor shakes. "Just a minor problem outside, sir."

"Outside? Ma'am, that's no minor problem if it can shake the building." Balus replied politely yet concerned. He turned and headed for the way down and outside to see what was going on.

Krystal turns to Balus's younger sister and just offers a smile, "I am sorry I am not more energetic right now. Stopping the bomb took almost every ounce of energy I had and actually hurt. I just wish..." She stops half nodding off but also enjoying the sun as it comes in. "I am just tired is all!"

Fegh listens and has no comment. He cannot help but think how the plan is to break up a crowd and yet not use any violence. He doubted this captain was known for his ability to talk people into submissiveness.
Either way he waits for the transport to arrive on site.

"Yessir." Kassidy replies, considering this. "If there are available munitions, I could reload my grenade launcher and mini-gun with non-lethal munition... tear gas or smoke, for example, and rubber or wax slugs." she adds, pausing then. "Otherwise, my best bet is to park myself in front of the Emergency doors and be a wall... I'm sure I can intimidate the locals if need be."

"I doubt we've got enough non-lethal ammo for a gun like that." The Captain chuckles. "But I think we can score you the rest." A pair of SWAT members start replacing the grenades.
"Intimidation will be key - we don't want to incite anything, but we want to be a deterent. We hit pavement in 5. Keep your radios on the right frequency and no solo acts."

Treena just smiles weakly. "I understand. Thanks for being here...and being Bally's friend." She curls up against the pillow.
Balus, you get out front, and see what has become all too familiar today - shattered glass and screaming. Except instead of the panic screaming of civilians running from a fire, these are the angry screams of mob. The protestors hold out anti-Biofreak slogans on their signs - much of the language equating BioFreaks with the Tarloks themselves.
(Perception check Balus)

Krystal stays there keeping an eye on Treena until she falls asleep if that is indeed what she is doing. Herself being exhausted beyond anything, but seeing the sun help Treena means the forcefield needs to be maintained. As such doing best she can she strokes Treena's hand while waiting to see what happens

Balus was hurt by the chants comparing him to the Tarloks, but knew he didn't want anyone to be hurt. He took up a position so he was protecting the hospital entrance. He didn't know what else to do that wouldn't make things worse.[rand=9126828584296812832514706919243496842443795935211235031162449911]

A soft chuckle escapes Kassidy at the last line. "The armor was made to be intimidating." she replies, shifting a bit as her grenade launcher gets re-loaded. "I can plant myself in front of the main doors.. that should help keep the rioters at bay." she then growls, eager to get to action.
( I was SURE I had posted this like, a week ago. )
