andres ♔ the terrifying rarity of truth

[bancroft]

♬ Haunt - Bastille

WHO || Thomas, Thoster, Brantley, David L., Andie
WHAT || The Knights intercept a boat shipping something to Andres Isle... with some high seas piracy
WHERE || The Atlantic Ocean
WHEN || December 9th, 2013, 6:00PM
HOW || Actionspam , single thread to start.  

The mission to intercept a shipment heading to Andres - one among many such mysterious deliveries that Wynn suspects have some sinister ties to the movements of Prime Minister Dimitris Sarandis' involvement in a Shadowkind slaver cult - is already off to an interesting start.  No sooner have the crew gotten aboard Thoster's pirate ship and headed out on a course that's meant to intercept the vessel then the winds start kicking up and dark thunderheads roll in on the horizon.  Lightning streaks the horizon as rain starts to fall, and Thomas stands on the deck, looking out with one foot up on the railing, frowning out. 

"Gonna be rough waters.  Not sure yet if that's going to work to our advantage or not."

[What's wrong with being squeamish about killing someone? He might not be a hero who can save the world, but even this world need someone to think about those who live like Emile, right? That's the reason he chose to be a fixer. So he can help people get out of troubles and have a new start. He releases a sigh before replying to Thomas.]

If you need some help with the immigration and stuffs, let me know, I'm experienced in this area of expertise.

[And as they're discussing all of this, David starts leading the prisoners up to the deck. If he sees the guy they weren't supposed to kill dead, he doesn't acknowledge it.

He figures there was probably a reason. Chain of command and all that. Regardless, he'll stay over here, telling everyone to stay together and wait for orders.]

[ thomas' eyes move to the people david is bringing up, and he nods to thoster's boat ] Let's get them on our ship, fast as we can. We'll have to take him too [ he gestures to the man whose throat he cut ] so they don't try to rez him or speak with his corpse.

[ he looks back to the others with a frown ] Brantley, we can use your skills in helping to double check all the organizations we have running ex-slaves out of Slovechnia to make certain this wasn't the only one Sarandis had in his pocket.

[ to thoster: ] Wynn will want a full debriefing with each of you on what you saw here. For now, let's concentrate on getting this people free of this wreck before anyone comes looking for them. If you can smash the place up a bit, loot anything of value you find, we can help sell the idea that pirates took off with their cargo.

[No one has to tell Thoster twice to start ransacking. Excuse him while he takes out his aggression at the way this mission has gone on the nearest crate or barrel before he makes his way to the different sleeping quarters to throw things around and see what goodies he can find (search 14).]

[generaldavideus]

[David focuses on getting everyone onto Thoster's ship. It's not an easy jump to make, especially with the weather, but he tries to manage it as safely as possible.]

[Brantley sighs again before nodding to Thomas.]

I'll take care of the list once we get back.

[Then, he helps David directing the refugees to get on their ship.]

[ thomas stands aside for a moment, watching them work with a grim expression on his face, before finally gathering up the body of the man he killed and bringing him over to thoster's ship himself.

it's going to be a long ride home. ]

[bluffcheck]

[Eventually, Thoster is satisfied with his job on the enemy vessel and makes his way back to his own ship.]

Everyone safe and accounted for?

[asap]

I guess. Seeing as you're all healed up now.

[She may not be all that pleased with his quickness to try the murder option, but she's still gonna fret.]

[generaldavideus]

[He nods, helping the last of the refugees over onto the ship.]

I think we're good to go.
