Guard: They took down the guard you left behind sir...
Numiz: I thought they might try.... I guess you haven't really deserved this ::He pointed at Pandorn and then at the table filled with food:: But I'm sure you can explain what you did.... and talk me through this?
:: He pointed at the screen on the side which showed a recording of the incident::
Numiz: You think we didn't notice? The man you killed was a criminal. We left him there on purpose. Hoping you'd make a move. Observe your ways... I wonder if he is still alive...
::Krindo looked at the recording. Of course they were monitored. Truly Numiz was a paranoid despot who leads his country with fear and intimidation. As for the guard, upon hearing he may have been killed, caused Krindo a moment of sadness. He was sure he only knocked the guard out unless the Hocktin were more fragile than they appear to be. Numiz motioned to the empty seat, after motioning for Krindo's restraints to be removed. Not much chance of an escape now.::
Numiz: Why dont you sit down...
::Krindo musn't have moved fast enough for the guard's liking and he was shoved rather violently into the seat. Krindo hunched over, his side sore from the kicks and the punches. This did bring a growl from Numiz.::
Numiz: Response
Guard: But, sir....
::Numiz rose and struck the guard, hard. With a trickle of blood running down the guard nose, Numiz motioned to two other guard to remove the third. He straightened his uniform and returned to the table.::
Numiz: Response
Pandorn: ::wincing:: We're at the part where I give you the 'name, rank and serial number' song. It's about all you will believe from me.
Numiz: Response
Pandorn: ::grins with a small chuckle, which caused another wince of pain:: And I bet you would have sat by docilely and not taken a chance to escape if you were abducted, bound and thrown into a cell, being beaten for a while as well. I think not.
Numiz: Response
::Krindo was still hunched over, holding his side. As far as he could tell, nothing was broken and at first he was chalking it up to the bruises from the kicking, but this was different. As if he was burning up from the inside out. Sitting up only made it worse. Could he have been bitten and not noticed? A hard, painful cough produced some blood, which trickled from his mouth.::
oO Great, now the virus is active too. Oo
Numiz: Response
Pandorn: We've *been* telling the truth. Over and over again. We are *not* here to conquer or whatever else you think we are here for. The 'hospitality' you are showing won't change that. ::Another bloody cough::
Numiz: Response
Pandorn: Threaten all you like. I figure I have maybe 30-48 hours to live anyway.
Numiz: Response
Pandorn: A little gift your people gave us when we came aboard the Pathfinder. A virus the little creatures that are with you have. Virulent and deadly. I didn't feel any bites, thanks to your 'welcome'.
::Numiz stared with disbelief at yet another lie, when a guard stood at the doorway. He stared at Krindo a moment before addressing Numiz.::
Guard Largon: Sir, the green-skinned one, the one they called 'Captain' wishes to speak with you. A matter of biology. She also said before there are corpses to clean up.
Numiz: Response
::Largon bowed slightly and left to get Captain Rhani. Krindo winced and coughed blood again. Apparently, the Captain is symptomatic too. They haven't got much time.::
Numiz: Response
::A few minutes later, Largon was back with Captain Rhani and Trellis. Two more chairs were brought and they were seated next to Krindo. Numiz dismissed Largon with a wave, and then snarled at the three Federation officers.::
