The Previously Apathetic Guard

It's the charming guard who wouldn't help you before. Good. You don't feel bad inflicting bodily harm on him.

"WHY WON'T YOU JUST SHUT UP!?" He's screaming, and advances on the cage to slam a hand against the bars. The second he's close enough, you reach out and grab a fistful of shirt. You pull hard, smashing his face into the bars twice, stunning him. You reach through the bars, wrap your hands around his neck, and pull.

He struggles, kicking and writhing hard, but eventually goes limp. You don't know (or care, really) if he's still alive. You grab a keycard hanging from a clip around his neck, and reach out to press it against a sensor on the wall. The bars swing up, the door slides open, and you are free to go.

You grab the guard's blaster and lock him in the cell. You don't know enough about Falleen biology to guess if he's dead or just ****, and better safe than sorry. Blaster at the ready, head out in search of your gear, and your target. The sooner you find them, the sooner you can get the hell out of here.
