Question Regarding Sith Prisoner Transport

[SoloWing]

Could've sworn I'd posted this last night, but I guess I disconnected a touch too soon.

Anyway, yes. What is Jedi protocol for transporting a Sith Prisoner?

And as a subset to this question, who would have the final say-so over such a transport: the GA or the Jedi?

And as a subset to the subset question, what would be procedure for handling a dirty GA military agent?

 

[Matt]

With regards to the GA.

Ga equals Jedi so just speak to one of the council members.

In regards to how to transport sith/dodgy agents, I'd do it by a case by case basis and again, ask one of the council.

And in answer to your next question, yes you can ask me! lol

 

[SoloWing]

Mmm'k. Well, let me lay out the situation, then.

In A Furry Night:

Animus, a Sith, lands on Naboo.
Lt. Lyco Marin, a GA agent, discovered her, got allured, and decided not to report her presence.
Nuala, Aj and Lumin show up and have a brief showdown with Animus.
Lyco shows back up, fires a few warning shots in the air, and announces that he's arresting Animus.
<Insert way too many rounds of bickering among the PCs over who really has jurisdiction.>
The group arrests Animus and has been en route to a security checkpoint to put her in custody.

That's where we are now.

What's going down is that Nuala, through cooperation with Aj utilizing IC methods of observation and fact-checking, knows that Lyco covered up Animus' presence earlier; she also knows that Lyco is pretty much underneath the influence of Animus' charms, which is a bad mix. This also means that Animus wanted to be arrested, although she does not know why, which is unsettling to say the least.

So her plan is, upon hooking up with the security detail at the checkpoint to request that Lyco remove himself from this case/incident based upon her suspicions of his trustworthiness. All of this is probably going to go down in my next two posts in the thread.

Given that situation, I'm trying to figure out what, if anything, specifically needs to be done in the thread over the course of the next few rounds. Basically, what the upper limits of acceptable actions are. Because, right now, Nuala knows that the situation smells wrong and she doesn't want a repeat of any Temple Bombings. She also doesn't want to cross the line or do the wrong thing in the situation. Hence all the questions.

Just to let you know I haven't read all of the thread so I don't know exactly what's going on, but I get a good picture.

I think it would be viable for the Padawans to explain that they'd be much more capable of escorting a Sith than a low-ranking GA soldier, since they're ya know.. Jedi. Then they can explain to the security that Lyco could be being influenced, as you said, allowing the Padawans to take Animus back by themselves without risk of Lyco being corrupted any further. One of the Padawans could also stay behind and 'cleanse' Lyco of his influences, I guess.

I also apologize if I completely missed your question :p

 

[Dmitri]

This gives me the idea to provide a suggestion: Create a Sith detention area, so you can isolate them, question, and imprison them away from prying eyes, susceptible guards that could be influenced, and private enough for interrogations.

 

[SoloWing]

Hmm... Nice. Thanks, Weiss.

@ Prancing Yawn. Your suggestions validate my thinking quite nicely, yes. So its good to know that I'm on the right track here. I was also asking if there was anything in general that I had to immediately do in order to make this 'legal' since the overall situation isn't conductive to checking with the Council at the moment.

More or less I'm just trying to cover my bases since this thread's already been through the mud once and I'm trying to prevent it from sliding any further.

 

[Lupe]

Ok but since Lyco a member of STROST is he not above her and take the prisoner himself?

 

[Nevermourn]

The padawans barely have any experiance. Animus could slaughter them if she chose to.

 

[SoloWing]

Okay, I mean no disrespect, but can we please hold off on the IC thread proper until someone with proper clearance fields this question?

 

[Nevermourn]

Ask Brandon, or Deathtoll. Pm me when your ready for my reply in our thread. PLEASE.

 

[Dmitri]

Maybe the Padawans aren't the best choice. Best to let Geist Weiss take Animus and take him to prison.



Wait for it...

 

[Nevermourn]

Oh yes, I completely agree. Exilis should come to. ^^

 

[Matt]

Padawan rank for the GA is Commander if memory serves.

If the ranking officer there is a jedi then they should take em.

Not to sound like a jerk or anything, but why should a padawan have the same authority as someone with the rank of a commander in GA. Padawans have for most time not as much experience leading troops into battle as commanders have. A more reasonable rank that a padawan could be equal to, let's say a Captain or a Lieutenant. But that is just my personal opinion.

 

[Lupe]

Actually if you look at it it makes more sense like this:
Padawan= Lt.
Knight= Commander
Master= General:CHappy

But like I said the individual in question is part of STROST, the GA and Jedi Orders Special Operations squad. So wouldn't that give him more authority then a padawan?:CStern

 

[SoloWing]

Perhaps if I clarify where I'm coming from with this we can work this out.

This is not a power grab on my part nor am I trying to throw weight around here. Like I keep explaining to Sat, I'm not in this to build a powerful character or to make a faction succeed. I'm in this to play my characters straight and have fun playing them. Maybe this makes me the odd one out on this RP (because given the general attitudes across the board I've seen lately, I wouldn't at all doubt it at this stage of the game). I don't know.

On the forums I left to come here, the threadrunner and the participants were expected to work together in order to make sure that PCs of differing factions survived their threads as well possible and to the degree that the participants wanted. That's the mindset I've been going into this with and that's what I've been trying, with varying degrees of success, to do in this thread. I want to get everyone through this without rendering any PC unusable.

And while I can't speak for anyone else, that is why I brought this issue of jurisdiction up. As I've tried to make clear via my IC posts, Nuala has more than enough evidence to arrest Lyco for dereliction of duty right now. She's willing to let that slide for the moment if she can get Animus away from Lyco, because she knows that Lyco is on Animus' side.

Maybe you want that to happen. I don't know, and if so, then I need to know. Sat's got a way worked out for Animus to survive and so I'm not so much worried about Animus at this juncture as much as I am Lyco. But if Lyco remains this steadfast, then the only recourse that Nuala's got left is to arrest him. And that's something that I'm trying to avoid.

 

[Lupe]

Thats the thing I'm not sure u can arrest Lyco he is a STROST member, I'm not sure why this keeps getting ignored>.>, I'm not sure u can even tell him what to do, and he is not on her side but lenient to his kind and maybe a little lenient towards her but he isn't aiming to just let her go, not now since she caused harm to GA agents. Also if you keep on threatning Lyco there is no telling what his cousins will do.

 

[Master Maverick]

All Padawan's are lieutenants. This is non-negotiable. Therefore Nuala and Lyco have the same authority. If corruption is an issue, then a smart/reasonable/rational person (of power) would take that variable out of the equation. I assume that Lyco would be taken into NPC custody, which means little to nothing. You don't even have to really RP her getting out if that's the case. If not, then it just adds to your character's story, so no big deal.

Either way, Nuala is going to have to convince whoever it is to get Lyco out of there. If someone of a higher rank agrees with Nuala, then Lyco has no choice. If not, then Lyco will have to be allowed along.

From what I've read, I didn't know that death was a worry in this thread. 1) the GA doesn't really kill prisoners and 2) there's ALWAYS a way out. So no one should be worrying about that.

As well, Nuala has the authority to arrest Lyco and vice versa. Because they're of the same rank, it would be brought under a bit of scrutiny either way.

Even though Lyco is part of STROST, he's still an Lt, so equal rank, equal authority. While that might give him slightly more authority than someone in the regular GA forces, being a Jedi has it's perks; a bit more authority being one of them.

Anyway, my point is that Nuala needs to persuade whomever that Lyco is a liability and needs to be left behind. If she can't do that, then that's just another problem you're going to have to deal with.

And Sat; if Animus could beat them easily... why hasn't she???? hmmmm??? Answer me that!? hahaha, jk of course.

Edit: of course, I'm not the head of the GADF or STROST, so I could be wrong. However, this is my opinion and not a ruling... I'm just the Lore Master so... yeah.

 

[Lupe]

hmmm I'll PM the question to Yawn and/or DeathToll ;)

 

[SoloWing]

Alright. Then I assume that our next step would be to get that said someone of higher rank into the thread proper?



(Although at this point I would not be at all averse to just terminating the thread where it stands, but that's not my call to make.)

EDIT: Ninja'd by quite a wide margin.
