To collect a debt

"Let's just say this is not a social call, Elise" Targ bristles gruffly. "It's about your sizable debt you owe me. I'm here to collect."

Elise looks around the bridge. Her worried eyes give her away. "This is between you and me, Targ. No one else. If it's me you want, I'll give myself up. Do whatever you want with me, but leave my crew out of it."

"Elise, you just don't get it, do you?" Targ says, his voice reeking of sarcasm. "I have you completely surrounded. You can't even jump into hyper space because you don't have enough room to engage the drive system. You are in a position to demand nothing. As of this moment, I own you, your ship and crew, and everything you have on board. that is unless you have the five million you owe me. That's how you were able to buy that derelict flea trap in the first place, if you recall. Do you have what is owed me? Or perhaps something comparable, like that redhead standing next to you?" Targ grins menacingly again, and it seems to be directed at you.

"This is not my problem!" you complain at Targ's image on the screen. "I'm a passenger, not a member of the crew. I have no idea of what's going on here, but I don't want any part of it. I'm an innocent bystander!"

"Spirit!" Targ smiles. "I've broken lesser women in a day. This one would be fun to break. That settles it, Elise. I want her. You have my word your debt will be forgiven if you hand her over to me."

Elise looks at you, unsure of what to say or do. The logical choice is for her to hand you over to Targ to save her own as, the ship, and her crew. You can see the conflict growing in her eyes, and you don't know what she might do. Now you find yourself wishing you would have kept your mouth shut, and not drawn so much attention to yourself. You can only hope whatever Elise decides that she has some alternative plan in mind. "Give me a few minutes to talk things over with my crew" Elise finally says.

"I'll give you ten minutes" says Targ.

Elise looks over at Rin. "Cut the com!"
