"You don't leave me with a whole lot of choice..." The man keeps his hands above his head and motioned for Will to approach. "I choose option one." Will can see the man's gun located in a drop holster underneath his armpit. He lets Will get close and then says, "I an't gonna bite."

"Well, you know how this goes. Also no movements until I say so." Will obviously isn't leaving his guard down. Once close enough, he explained his plan some more. "Okay, I'm gonna take your gun, and escort you back over there." Now Will is finally pointing his gun at the thin man's head, overkill, maybe, but you can't be too careful. Will's aware that this is probably being captured by the camera, but there's not much choice here. Maybe the security is asleep. Fingers crossed.

Will reached for the man's gun, before shoving into the belly pocket of his hoodie. Provided that the thin boy didn't change his mind and give Will a reason to pull the trigger, Will walked behind the thin person, with his gun still leveled at the guy's head. "Now stand up, and go to where the lady was. Hands remain behind your head." He gave the guy a gentle push. "Coming through!" Will notified those in the pod area, if Alexis hasn't already.

OoCWill is trying to escort him back to Gary. I assume Alexis will make way this time, so no need for a check? If the guy needs his hands in order to climb back to the pod area, Will will okay that, though he's still pointing his gun.

As soon as the guard was successfully unarmed (assuming he was), Alexis put her pistol away. But before climbing up, she turned back to Gary. "We'll send him down to you. Oh.. and he has a false leg, just to let you know..." she told the lieutenant. Then she climbed up out of the tube and into the enemy ship. She moved to the side and pulled her sword free of it's scabbard, just in case their captive got any ideas.

The man lets Will take his weapon and the he stands at Will's command. He moves slowly towards the door to the escape pod as Alexis exits. As he gets closer he suddenly stops and makes a move to attack Will by swinging his arm out towards the gun. However, Will is poised and ready.

OOCWill gets +20 to hit along with any other relevant bonuses (e.g., aim, skill, etc).

Actually Will froze a little and didn't pull the trigger, instead he reflexively tried to whip his gun back, which may or may not be too late.

What Will does next, is a lot more decisive-- with a backhand grip on his stun baton, he took a step forward swipes it hard at rebelling hostage, finger down on the shock setting.

"Help." He stated briefly to let the others know the fight has started, though he fully intends to take down the guy by himself.

The man dances out of the way of Will's thrust of the baton. He spins on his heals plants one foot and kicks towards Will but he misses. He spins again with his hands in a defensive position.

OOCWill had surprise hold action. Everyone has an action now.

Gary steps back from the entrance to the umbilical. "Hand to hand. You're up Dagnals!"

Gary looks at Thom, "Can it soldier. Quietly is word and you don't use it."

"Carlyle, get ready to loop any vid feeds and erase any other records of our entry."

The stealth entry isn't fracked yet but it could still go either way and Gary knows it. "What play would you make Ray?"

Gary backs up a little picks up the box of robotic toys he made while they travelled to the system...

"Jason, if we disengage and run, how quickly can we reenter for the diplomatic mission?"

Alexis' electric sword hummed to life. It was pretty dumb or desperate for the man to challenge them - which was probably exactly the point. He didn't see his situation improving any time soon, so he probably felt that he had to act. He had forced her hand, and now she had to do what she had to do, which in this case meant thrusting her sword towards his ribcage.

The orders Gary demanded had Dar's heart pounding. Close quarters combat was always a dangerous situation. He pulled his weapon in close and kept the muzzle down. The last thing you do in these extreme situations was holding your weapon out at arms length. It was too easy to have your weapon taken from you in that stance.

He watched the marines disappear into the hatch. He let out a growl of frustration.

Will immediately goes for a backswing at the thin man.

The man becomes bolder with both Alexis and Will missing their thrusts. He shouts "FIRE!!" and spins to kick at Will again. The main loses his footing and falls to the ground.

Brothers looks to Darman and says "Get up there. My team stays below with the ship."

Jason looks to Gary and shrugs, "it will take a few moments to uncouple the pod and then fly to a safe range to jump. Maybe 20 minutes...."

Dagnals waits for Darman to ascend into the ship and he unbuckled his pistol.

Carlyle shrugs to Gary, "i will need to plug into their system...you want me to go up?"

Gary does nothing to countermand Brothers decision to throw another rock into the fire. "Twenty minutes! Tay's titties." Gary assumes time could be saved if they just ripped the umbilical but not enough to stop fighters scrambling and closing them down with or without radar assistance.

"Yes Carlyle. Follow Darman up and look for somewhere to plug in pronto. We have to scrub this incursion fast."

He hears a stranger's voice shout 'fire'. And begins to consider how to back up the claim and hide their entry with an obfuscating escape pod 'malfunction'. "Would need to hack the log and modify times to seal the deal..."

Dar made his way to the hatch. He could see that Gary wasn't happy about being overridden by Brothers. He paused and looked at Gary with a questioning look. Gary gave him a slight nod and without hesitation he shot up the hatch and into the ship.

He had heard someone yell "Fire!" as he headed for the hatch. With that in mind and his weapon in close, he swept the area for targets.

When the man fell down, Alexis did her best to try to take advantage of the fact, moving in and making another attempt at stunning the pirate.
