SD 80330.0745 GMT (as always)... 80329.2345 PST (where I am)<br>
With the 'commish' on Furjen... at the Blue Stork Bar<br>
Ensign Krazny had just watched the Commissioner down another 'Comute', as
one of the local drinks was called. Having limited himself to half a glass
of it, Krazny likened it to an old Earth drink called 'rum and Coke'.
Krazny had then decided not to get drunk, and was limiting himself to a
bubbly drink apparently reserved for children, called a 'Kaktovik', which
was clear and citrusy. Jade was sticking to water, and not much of it at
that, and both of them kept eyeing the crowd in the large bar. The far
wall was about twenty meters away, and within that space were at least one
hundred people. Suddenly, a bottle flew over the three Federation
personnel, and shattered the front plate glass window.
Jade put her hand on her holster, and Krazny grabbed the Commissioner.
"Sir, we'd better get out of here."
"No, no, I'm not nearly drunk enough to go back to the ship yet.
Bartender, another please. "
Jade stared at Krazny as he shook his head. "How are we supposed to
protect him if he doesn't listen?"
By now several dozen people were involved in the growing brawl behind
them, and Krazny shook the Commissioner. "Sir, we are leaving."
"Fine. Go."
"No, sir, we are *all* leaving." He physically lifted the Commissioner
from his stool and to his feet, not hard at his height. "Now."
Jade smiled, and began to push a path to the door. A fist flew and slammed
into the commissioner's face, knocking him half-unconscious. Krazny
groaned. "Now I'll have to carry him." The ensign hoisted the dazed
Commissioner to a position where he was slung over the counselor's
shoulder and the two officers headed out the door.
Just as they reached the street, so did the brawl. Now fully three hundred
people were involved, and it had spread into the glassware shop next
door... which had been closed. A glass crane (or something similar to that
Terran bird) flew out and smashed into the head of an arriving planetary
security officer, knocking him to the street.
Krazny now saw that it wasn't just a brawl, it was becoming a riot.
Hundreds of people were now in the street, looting, fighting, and now
burning, as they got to the corner, where a wide boulevard led in one
direction to the President's residence and in the other to the capital
building. Krazny and Jade headed for the capital.
On the way to the capital, they spotted many more rioters, and fires in
the distance lit the boulevard a faint orange. Then they spotted an empty
alley. "Think we should beam up?" Krazny said, still shuffling along with
the half-dazed, half-drunk Commissioner slung over his shoulder, with his
rank pip rubbing against the Commissioner's ribs.
NRPG: Too bad we can't kill him. And this riot might just be a
misunderstanding, or it could be that political upheaval beginning. MT
should be about 2.0300. or 3.0300, whichever... I lost track of which day
it is, but about the same as the last post from the Science Academy team.
BTW Krazny is 1.9 meters tall... so, quite a bit above average... maybe
six inches or so. And he's only 18.
