Gil pulls out his communicator and attempts to call the ship for pickup as he runs. Gil is able to put in his call and when it is answered he can talk with a puff... Who's answering aboard the ship?

The trio is almost all the way to the cover when a pair of men come strolling around the bend and out from behind the low hill. The pair don't appear to be armed and both appear very startled by the trio charging toward them. A slightly muffled shout from one the pair of men rings out, "What's going on?"Takheal doesn't even slow down. "Run!" He keeps moving, checking behind them to see if anyone is pursuing them. No immediate pursuit, but Takheal does see the figure he had seen before and sees him raising a rifle to fire as he runs. The sound of a shot rings out, followed by another and another, but none of the runners are hit as the bullets dig into the flank of the hill they are running behind. The pair of men who were walking toward Leroy's let out loud curses and break into a stumbling run bringing up the rear behind Takheal. When you round the hillock and are out of sight of Leroy's dome do you continue to run, or slow to a walk?

When you round the hillock and are out of sight of Leroy's dome do you continue to run, or slow to a walk? "Keep moving," Takheal calls out. "They may pursue us, and we must contact the local authorities." He looks for possible destinations that could offer concealment and access to communications.

Gil will follow Takheal's lead, but he will continue to try to arrange for a pickup from the ship.

Peng is - of course - keeping an ear on the comms [whether or not this is his official function . . .] "We hear ya, Gil. Cap's organizin' a rescue, usin' th' airraft. I wanted to just lift ship and come get ya', so's we can use the cannons if need be. But I'm thinkin' Cap don't trust me not to fire first."

Not sure what was going on at Leroy's, but there were gunmen. Might have just been a holdup but we didn't stick around long enough to find out. I've got a couple of locals who are looking for work or passage that the Captain knows about."

[OCC: Can Peng's turret "see" Gil's broadcast, meaning we can home on it? Or is there too much ground clutter from this angle? I ask because - should the latter case be true - then this strengthens Peng's case for lifting off with the ship (in order to get a clear homing signal).] "Ya' bein' chased? If so, ya might let us call you. They might can track you."

The ATV (not Air/raft...my bad) meets the trio half way back to the dome. There has been no pursuit after the initial gunfire and although the three and the pair tagging along behind them are a little winded they are unharmed.
Once at the ATV it is up to Raven to decide whether to carry Takheal and the two unknown men back to the dome. It is also up to her whether or not to call Company Security. They might be interested that there was gunfire at Leroy's, then again, as it is Law 0 outside the Domes, they might not care.

Back in the Main Dome, Tokheletoi (Matt's character) has finished her research at the local library and is just about to comm Takheal to see if he has had any more luck finding a "ride" off this place than she has.
The only thing she's come up with is a ship called The Clear Sails that is heading deeper into the unexplored Mantan Sector. It's possible they might be able to book passage on her, or maybe get a working passage.

" Peng . . . come on." says Raven. NOTE: If this is an order for Peng to leave his turret and get in the ATV, he reluctantly does so, filing into the vehicle last and grumbling under his breath, "I *still* say we should take the ship, darn it."Peng will be weaponed up to his normal max, meaning Blade, Body Pistol, Heavy Revolver *and* SMG (with as much extra ammo for each as Raven will allow). He will TRY for at least a couple of grenades as well, although he will be ready to have these denied to him.

Emiya rushes up to Raven, "Captain Raven, what's going on? Do you need an extra blade? I know I haven't formally joined the crew but I am willing to assist you if the need is there". A grim looks crosses her face as she talks to Raven, her hand caressing the hilt of her sword as if eager to dance with death once more.

Gil looks back the way they came to be sure there's no trouble brewing there, and then gets aboard the ATV. "Captain," I'll need to see to it that this shotgun gets back to the bartender at Leroy's."

Cyril says nothing. He's busy mopping up blood and gore inside the ATV. He has his shotgun, though, and a mop.

As the ATV pulls to a halt, Peng swings out and takes up a covering position, holding the SMG at waist level on it's assault sling. Once everyone is inside, he reboards cautiously, still covering their backtrail with the weapon.
[OOC: If a fight breaks out, we really need to figure who is actually aboard and whether it happens going to or coming from the pickup. This thread has become rather confused, as regards the "current" moment in time.]

Everyone piles aboard with some huffing and puffing. There is Gil, three humans you don't recognize and a tall alien. One of the unknown humans says, "What the hell was going on back there?" "Hey, thanks for the ride." says another, "Just drop us off back at the Main Dome." OOC: I'll let Terry and JR speak for their characters. Eris

I think there was a robbery back there.”

Peng glances first at Gil, then at the driver [don't know which character that is] then finally shrugs and replies, "Long as we don't get shot twixt here and there, it makes no nevermind to me where we go, long as we end up back at the ship."

Tokheletoi looks up from her work and answers. "What is it Takheal? I've found some possible leads." "I may have secured us transport aboard a ship. Meet me at the west entrance." Takheal's voice is calm, but it has a deeper timbre that she hasn't heard him use before. He turns to the ATV driver. "Can you take me to the Main Dome, please?" OOG: Matt's here! <happy dance>

Tokheletoi shuts down terminal after making careful note of her findings. Her ears perk a bit as his deep, masculine tone of voice but now is not the time to think of such things. "I have found something as well that might work. I am curious as to what you have found and what trouble you seem to have gotten yourself into." She knew male Aslan and could only guess what he'd stirred up in his typical bull headed rush. "I will meet you in a few minutes."
The lithe female Aslan strolled casually from the library to the west entrance to see what he had found

Peng nods encouragingly at the driver: "You heard th' fellow. Main Dome and step on it. Don' like hangin' 'round, lightly armed like this."
[OOC: Peng much prefers sitting in his turret with cannons at his fingertips, to toting around little baby bangsticks while exposing his fragile flesh to the slings and arrows of Fate. Nevermind that he's much more likely to get dead at the former rather than the latter. Peng's a tanker at heart, not a infantryman.]

OOC: Thazar is driving for now...
"Main Dome?" says the driver, "Why don't I just head for the ship. You guys can go into the Main Dome from our docking bay."
"I'm Thazar De Vrass, and that's Peng the hot head on the guns. He's looking for any chance to blow up Leroy's." Thazar adds with a grin.
OOC: Did anyone else sortie with the ATV...Raven? Cyril? Thazar isn't going to call in the possible robbery at Leroy's to the local Security Office...are any of you?
The trip back to the ship takes only a few minutes...
