On Knives and Gunfights

14 September 2009-

So a human, a Narn, and a Minbari walk into a bar...

As of last time, our PCs had staked out the bar, positioning some people inside and some right outside the major entrances, but no one had made any serious moves yet. Jeff's Minbari telepath was trying to blanket our group from the scans of the criminal Psi, and Schmitty and Craig were trying to surreptitiously approach the table where the buyer and seller of the bag of suspected biotech were negotiating. Unfortunately, their Psi noticed the interference Jeff was putting out, and called in some muscle to figure out where it was coming from. EMichael- the other Minbari in the group- went over to back up Jeff, and things looked like they would soon get ugly.

About that time, station security forces swept through to clear the bar, since the biotech monster was on the move, and things sped up. The negotiating party came to an agreement, credits were exchanged, and the seller left the bar while the buyers moved toward a back entrance. With the crowd of bar patrons moving, our guys (plus Craig- whatever he is) headed for the bad guys, and got to them just as they reached the door. The bad guys made a stand at the door with a martial artist and some guys with asps (retractable clubs), but we quickly upped the ante with Minbari Denn'boks (fighting pikes) and PPGs. PPGs win. After a brief shoot-out, we grabbed the bag, planted some false evidence that the theft was perpetrated by a rival criminal gang, and beat feet before security returned.
