Krakrefr stands up slowly to show no hostile action and follows the commands of the guards. He faces down to the ground, he can see his crewmates doing the same, near the Wildcard. He has his mind in checking the bodies to find more info about the assailants but there is slim chance with the guards stepping in.
Shuth tells silver, "She could be in shock and needs to be seen soon. If no medical treatment shows up soon bring her here and I will get her patched up quickly."
Shuth sees what is going on outside the ship and watches to see what happens as he keeps the door to the ship closed.
Silver is grateful that the noise from the cantina is picking up and covering the transmissions over his personal comms. As if hearing something from the woman again, Silver responds back to her.
"Yes ma'am, I hear you. You are concerned for your children and are afraid they are running wild. No ma'am, the ones I see are staying put and the others are remaining out of sight. Yes ma'am, I hope the nice men will hurry up their business, too. When we are able to move you we will get you the medical attention you need. Stay with me ma'am."
Silver still on the ground, turns his head back to the first security guard he spoke to, "This woman here got caught in the crossfire. She is the only one that could make it out alive, if we get her the help she needs."

Unbeknownst to the crew and anyone else, this woman's name is Adeline Dupre and she is Marq Frazure's former fiancee. When the falling out had occurred, Adeline had come to Ruie in an effort to support the Coalition and its efforts to stabilize itself as a global government. The falling out had occurred over the risks and the subsequent hindrance to career progression. Adeline had left while Marq was called away on another diplomatic assignment.
Adeline had spotted Silver and was coming to talk to him, when the shooting broke out in the starport. She really was an innocent bystander. Now Marq may never have his chance to fix the situation he had created nearly 15 years ago.
The guard approaches Silver, forcibly puts him on the ground and and applies zip ties to his hands. You see the other guard applying zip ties to the downed men as well and scanning the area for further threats. The food court has largely emptied now with the exception of half a dozen security guards combing through and clearing the area.
The guard quickly pats Silver down but in his haste he misses the snub pistol and fold sword, then he moves over to Adeline and looks over her wounds, asking her if she is alright he radios in advising that there appears to be a civilian injured; he requests immediate medical response.
At the Wildcard the rest of the crew are also detained with their hands tied behind their back using zip cord/ties with the exception of Shuth when it is determined that he is the ships doctor. A pair of guards escorts Shuth to sickbay and inform him that a woman was shot during the exchange and will be brought to the ship for immediate treatment while they wait for a medical team to arrive and transfer her to a nearby hospital.

Wildcard Sickbay
1330hrs
The doors to sick bay burst open and a pair of guards carry an unconsious woman in and put her on the bed in the middle of the room "Get to it Doc!" one of the guards says as they back away to allow Shuth to get to work "There is a team coming from the hospital, but she seems to be losing blood fairly fast." Doc can see that there is a bandage on the wound but it is now soaked with blood.
Shuth can make a Medic skill check to treat the wound

Ruie Spaceport Detention Facility
1730hrs
The detention facility at the Ruie Spaceport is located in a basement level approximately two stories below ground and consists of a series of 'cells,' an interview room, and a common room that holds little more than a desk and a filing cabinet. The cells are barred and locked and the crew, save Shuth who remains on the Wildcard, are escorted to the detention area and held two to a cell. Silver and Krakrefr, Gaden and Enerii; Maiokus and Njall.
Each of the party was patted down before being placed in the cells and their weapons, comms, and all other personal items were removed, this time the guards do find Silver's snub pistol but still fail to discover the fold sword.
For several hours the crew is forced to wait, their inquiries being largely ignored by the pair of guards posted in the common room. Finally they can hear the door to the detention area open and can hear the distinct clicking of heels on the concrete floor "Yes ma'am" one of the guards says "I believe the captain is in cell two.Marq Frazure. I think he was the one in the food court, the others were at the ship at the time of the attack."
Again the clicking of heels on the concrete flooring, they draw nearer to Silver's location. A woman in a military dress uniform consisting of a brown blouse and black skirt appears at Silver's cell. She is tall and slender with auburn shoulder length hair. The woman's steely grey eyes look over Silver and Krakrefr.
She locks eyes with Silver "Captain Frazure I presume" she says "Nahi tells me that you are here on Ruie in search of some sort of chemical compound. My name is Major Eliz Natanian. I am an officer of the Vudal Confederacy assigned to the Global Trade Alliance Space Port Security Task Force."
Major Natanian motions to the guard and the guard jingles some keys and unlocks the cell. The cell door swings open "I apologize for the detention and the lack of hospitality toward you and your crew. I hope the guards were not too rough with you; in any terrorist related incident all those involved in one capacity or another are to be detained until the area can be secured and a proper investigation can be conducted. Standard operating procedure, you understand."
The remaining cell doors are opened and the crew is allowed to leave "I will escort you back to your ship of course" Major Natanian says as she and a pair of guards leads you through a series of corridors, up an elevator, and back to the space port terminal "But I wanted to discuss this chemical compound you are after. Perhaps we can come to a mutually beneficial arrangement. Your weapons, comms, and your ship have been confiscated, also S.O.P. Its my understanding that Nahi has already filed the necessary release forms to have this property returned to you, all that's needed now is my signature." Major Natanian looks to Silver knowingly. As you near the gate where the Wildcard sits you can see through the window and there are a pair of soldiers dressed in battle fatigues standing near the main cargo hatch holding rifles they lazily scan the area and appear to be talking back and forth.
"If you'll follow me, we can get this whole mess figured out" the Major leads the crew back through the terminal, you pass by the food court which is taped off and swarming with security personnel and investigators. Major Natanian shakes her head as she passes by "These terrorists are becoming more bold each day" she says. Finally she leads you to the Liaison's Office where you are met by Nahi in the lobby.
Nahi greets you and escorts you to a conference room tucked away in the Liaisons Office, you file in and he closes the door behind you. "Good to see everyone is in one piece" he smiles. The room has a long rectangular wooden table surrounded by chairs and Nahi takes a seat in a chair situated to the left of the 'head' of the table. "If you will all have a seat." He motions to the chairs surrounding the table as Major Natanian stands near the chair at the head. "I apologize for your doctor's absence, he is back at the ship treating a victim of the attack."
In Character: : Maiokus shoulders past the security personnel, sending glares their way if they mutter anything or look at him the wrong way.
Once inside the conference room, he finds a chair near Nahi and sits in it.
"So who are considered the terrorists this time Nahi?" He says loud enough for everyone to hear.
Silver takes a seat next Maiokus and motions for Gaden to sit next to him. Looking to make sure that Enerii, Njall, and Krakrefr are seated, Silver looks to the Major.
"Ma'am, it is an odd thing, being here now. My crew and I knew there would be trouble when we landed and off loaded our passengers and cargo. We only wished that, response from your end had been a bit quicker. There is much that could have been prevented. All that aside, I am sorry for loss of life to your men."
"Major, Liason Officer Nahi informed you correctly. We are after a chemical compound, that you yourselves do not have. We had mentioned to him before that we would like to work out something to both our benefits."
"Some of the thoughts we had included utilizing the Wildcard to transport men and equipment to a tactical location that would allow ease in assaulting one of the locations containing this compound. Such a surgical strike and insertion should save us both time and resources, assuming both our needs are being met in the process."
Turning to Gaden, "This is our crew's tactical advisor. He would be able to more clearly layout the details for any actions involving our crew and the Wildcard."
Persuade +2; Social +1 - Silver plays to his strengths. Edited: Malcolmshaw on 29th Dec, 2015 - 9:33pm
Krakrefr stops his handstand excercises and stands up, as he heards the female voice and the opening the cell. He grabs his vest, from the cells' bench and follows the crew. Somewhere in their route he grabs two bottles of water from a table. Gives the one to his teammates at his back and then drinks from his own. Edited: Morfeas on 29th Dec, 2015 - 9:46pm
