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. | |||
