The man behind her was about to respond, but then suddenly stopped, shifting uncomfortably.  "Heh, maybe we should just fuck the little fembot instead, looks like one of the kitties has teeth."  Came a reply from the other.  "Stowe it.  You're all Alliance military and I suggest you ACT that way.  Get your guns lubed another time, we have a job to take care of."<br/><br/>There was a simple 'yes sir' response.  Neymi's own question got him to look back.  "Well, there were three charges tossed around.  Treason, Willful Destruction of an Alliance Military Ship, and Illegally carrying out an operation."  Rooney responded.  "Treason carries the penalty of death, Willful destruction carries the penalty of 3 to 5 years on a penal planet, and the illegal operation carries with it a 3000 Credit fine.  But it seems someone outside of my pay grade has already taken personal interest in this, meaning likely the latter rather than the two formers."<br/><br/>Continuing on through the dark underbelly of the world ship, he continued.  "Mercenaries are considered a threat to security.  While you're unarmed, that doesn't mean you won't try to make a break for it, or someone might try to break you out, or one of you is a psionic.  In an enclosed space, if something goes wrong, it'll give us a clear view of the threat and allow us to take action without anyone able to get to cover.  So, if you try to run away, we'll shoot you.  If someone shoots at us down here, we'll shoot you.  If one of you tries to use some psionic power, we'll shoot you."  Giving a slight chuckle, he looked back at Neymi.  "And you're rather attractive, so i'd prefer you didn't get shot."  It seemed his intentions for Neymi were a bit lustful, although he kept it in check, just sending a bit of a flirt her way.  "It wasn't my idea.  You'll meet the person who came up with it, we should be rendevousing with First Leutenant Rhi soon enough, she'll be acting as your Defense as well as your escort into the Central Administration Building."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
