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.

Those last words barely register with Jamie, as the anger he's barely been holding in check boils to the surface at the dismissal. "Turn your back on me, will ye?" he snaps, then lunges towards the Archon, intent on making him hear sense - with his fists, if he has to.

He doesn't get there. Even before the Kessek can move to pull him away, a tentacle snakes down and wraps around him, bodily lifting him off the ground and out of reach of any possible attack - and it's quite clear Jamie doesn't care for this at all. "Hey! Put me down this instant! Do ye hear me?"

Thoroughly incensed by now, he tries to break free, and when it becomes clear that he's not about to calm down anytime soon, there's no choice but to sedate him. He slumps into unconsciousness, twitching slightly in Stacy's grip before growing still.

"Bloody-!"

Okay, this was Carson's first time seeing stuff like this, so it's a bit of a shock. The Scottish doctor runs over to his fellow countryman, pulling out his medical scanner to make sure he's still alive.

"Thank god..." He mutters. Sedated. All the readings were showing up fine...

Whilst he hasn't forgotten about the Daligig and their spectacle, there was someone who needed his help right in front of him. He's going to wait until Stacy lets him go, and cart him off to the medbay.
