Liberté, égalité, fraternité (and a hard-boiled egg)

With the Council having laid down the groundwork with the Daligig to gain their trust in the uprising, the crew prepared to put on a show, and the Daligig at their wit's end and impatient with the crew of the Transmigation 9, it was time to act.

The plans were clear. Allenby would be leading some of the crew in what looked like a hotheaded attempt the attack the Daligig and Kessek and oust them off the ship. Those that wanted to stay out of the fighting and take a neutral position of some kind were to make sure they stayed safe or acted their parts as the horrified crew-members that wanted everyone to make peace. And of course, anyone else was going to play a roll in pretending to side with the Council and the Daligig to put their fellow crew members down (without hurting them) making it look like it wasn't a clear-cut issue, so the Council could get the command codes necessary to start the crew's true takeover of the ship.

More observant members of the crew had noticed where the Daligig, Ghyll, and Kessek had been entering and leaving the restricted areas of the ship. The attack was to start at one of those entrances, as the fake rebels tried to storm in and take on the Daligig forces. After that, as the Kessek were drawn into the ship itself to put down the rebellion, it was going to be a free-for-all, a faux civil war of sorts, as flashy and convincing as they could make it without anyone actually dying.

Lights! Cameras! Action, people! It was time to put on a show and hope it was convincing enough for the Daligig to give the crew what they needed to truly be free.

The Kessek had gotten their act together by this point, thanks in part to Splicer's timely intervention. Nevertheless, the barrage of attacks still coming made tactical retreat the best option. They withdrew into the restricted zone and sealed the doors, but a few stayed to ensure that Splicer wasn't completely without support.

"Your crewmate is right!" one of them shouted, holding up his arm to shield from the icicles. "You cannot win this fight! Surrender!"

"Simon! Ow!" Allenby stumbled and just managed not to fall over completely when Lagann toppled. Lina's and Splicer's fireball and Kaya's waterbending gave her a chance to recover, but she still got a blast from Splicer's blanks. Not enough to put her out, fortunately, but damn it hurt like hell.

"Yeah right! Take out those last three and we'll be in!" Allenby shouted. Actually, she was sure that it would be impossible for them to break through those sealed doors, but charade. "Then we can deal with this turncoat!"

"Turncoat? Ha, sweetheart. There's no right or wrong in war. Only winners and losers. Sad to say though, you ain't on the winning side."

With the kessek buying it, all he had to do was make sure that they didn't hurt his friends and crewmates. For that to happen, he had to be the one dishing out the 'damage', while preventing the kessek any clear shots.

He motioned for the kessek to move back and got in front of them. "You guys make sure you're ready to take em to the brig, I can handle this rabble."

With that said, Splicer set forth to letting lose some more blanks, coupled with precisely placed flash bangs, far enough away that they wouldn't cause any serious damage, but close enough to make it believable.

"Surrender... That word isn't in my vocabulary!" Lagann pushed back up, though a bit shakily. That mind-stuff was just weird.

One hand points toward Splicer, the remaining Kessek, and the door. "And we haven't lost just yet!" A flash of green energy erupts from Lagann's hands and forehead, arming the little robot with a trio of drills.
