Buy a Little Mercy [Open; Potentially Graphic Material]
Less than an hour after the ship leaves Agrestic's orbit, an announcement is broadcast throughout Stacy.
|| Attention, crew. Your crewmates, Howard Bassem and Charles Merriman, have been apprehended attempting to desert. They will now be given Punishment. According to established guidelines, you are all requested to report to the Observation to witness the Punishment. Attendance is not mandatory, but highly suggested. This will serve as a reminder of the consequences of treason and desertion. ||
On the observation deck, Archon Yavek, Archite Rekkti, two other Daligig and a handful of Kessek soldiers stand outside a spherical force field. Inside the bubble, Orc and Howard are suspended by tentacles looping around their wrists. Orc's ceased thrashing around and struggling against his restraints; rust-colored fissures have developed around his shoulders and forearms from the strain, but now he simply hangs there, looking defeated. Howard's nose is bleeding, and every time a drop falls to the bottom of the forcefield there's a small sizzle. He's weeping and begging the Daligig with every plea possible, but they act as if they aren't listening. Instead, they wait for an audience.

Re: PUNISHMENT
But Rekkti walks up to him and places a hand on his shoulder. "Enough, Yavek. The injuries around us have more than proven our control of the ship. All this Punishment will do is incite more violence - and you're already injured."
Yavek's lip curls into the ugliest scowl he can manage.
"Alright. Stacy, for their tardiness, they must still be taught a lesson. What is the number of Violations necessary for Punishment?"

Re: PUNISHMENT
He storms off, the Kessek and Archite Rekkti in tow. She casts a glance up at the ceiling, eyes narrowed, as if something's just occurred that she knows she doesn't fully understand. She taps her lower lip and moves on.
She does not notice that Stacy has used her tentacles to cover the mouths of the people she's restraining, to stop them interjecting. Stacy holds everyone in their poses for several minutes until she's sure the Daligig have moved back to the restricted quarters, then gently lowers them to the floor. She silently disables the forcefield too, before setting Howard and Orc back on the ground.
