Ok, more confusion as to who is where. Jack is definitely tailing Terry the nurse. Zebulon is definitely in the permit office shooting Logan tailing Jack watching for trouble Sharon has an action statement placing her in the office coffee Henry? Mother? Lukasz? @fabius I will place Thaddeus as soon as I clear up who is where.

Zebulon is definitely in the permit office shooting Logan WAS going to follow Jack, but then also offered to stand watch outside the permit office which do you want to do? Sharon has an action statement placing her in the office coffee Henry? Mother? Lukasz? @fabius I will place Thaddeus as soon as I clear up who is where. OOC: Dang, Frank! Ok, I'll go with the original intention and tail Jack. That was what I thought was the most likely place that trouble would break out, of course, that was before Zeb started shooting off his..um..you know. IC: Logan trails behind Jack to make sure he isn't ambushed from behind and has back up if he is accosted by the nurse (or any other mooks). OOC: Final Answer!

My preference is for Lukasz to be with us in the office, obviously, but I also think it makes the most sense to put most, if not all, of the unassigned characters in the office anyway. We wouldn't want to call too much attention to our shadowing by having more people than necessary.

Can I get a recap on who is where? I've just read the last few pages and I'm still confused.

Zebulon, Sharon and hopefully Lukasz and Mother are in the permit office to get a permit for going into the Outback. Nothing worked, threats were made against us, and now we're negotiating with guns.
Jack and Logan are out and about, tailing "Terry the Nurse." He was there when we went into the permit office, recognized us from the Lombard Clinic on Ludgates, and put in a bad word right in front of us. That's why the office won't issue a permit. So, Jack and Logan are out shadowing him to see where he goes and have a "talk."

To recap: Jack is definitely tailing Terry the nurse. Zebulon is definitely in the permit office shooting Logan tailing Jack watching for trouble Sharon has an action statement placing her in the office coffee Henry? Mother in the permit office Lukasz in the permit office @fabius I will place Thaddeus as soon as I clear up who is where. So Henry, in the permit office, tailing Terry the nurse, or across the street from the permit office?

I think Henry will be across the street, keeping an eye on things.

Zeb has had enough. He pulls out his pistol and fires two shots close to the clerk. "You call off your dogs, or the next round will be in between your eyes! Got it?" With that he points his pistol at the clerk's head. (Sorry folks, I've had a really bad day, and I need to blow off some steam.) The clerk drops behind the desk mumbling "I hope they get here in time." Outside, Henry hears shots fired. Thaddeus is walking down the street looking for a decent bar when he hears shots fired from inside a Permit Office. Several blocks away, "Terry" suddenly breaks into a run, though you are far enough away to not hear the shots. He doesn't seem to have seen you.

"It won't matter whether they get here or not, if you don't hand over those permits! My friend here is testy, as you can see. Just do as he says, fast, and we'll zip out of here."
Sharon keeps her ambushing position by the door.

Zeb maneuvers to where he can aim at the clerk easily. "You heard the lady, bub! Be reasonable, and you may just get out of this alive."

The man cowers... (reaction roll 4... he just doesn't seem to want to see things your way...
Outside Henry sees two church patrol officers breaking into a run in your direction.
"Terry" changes direction from where he may have been heading and now seems to be heading toward the Star Port Office based on your knowledge of major landmarks, at least assuming he's not just heading in some random direction. His previous direction did not seem to be heading towards any landmarks.

"I see you're not going to cooperate," says Zeb. He calls out to Sharon, "I guess I ought to just shoot him now, eh?"

"Doesn't matter to me, I'm not the janitor. It will only take us a little longer to get what we need ourselves, so might as well."
Keeping her gun trained on the door, she kicks the man out of the way and tries to print up a set of permits.

What does the clerk do? Zeb really will shoot him if the clerk keeps resisting.

The clerk is just cowering, Zeb keeps his pistol trained on him while Sharon works up a permit. She is able to quickly determine the correct form to use and sees the appropriate stamps to mark it. Hopefully it will stand up to examination should it come to that (Forgery is a useful skill...).

Zeb walks over to the clerk and rests the business end of his pistol at the man's temple.
"If I ever hear from you again, hell, if I even suspect you have a hand in any interference we may get, I WILL come back and kill you. And I assure you your death will be slow and agonizing. Then he knocks the clerk unconscious by pistol whipping him in the temple.

Reactions from people in the street?
The clerk is neutralized, you have your permit. Whenceforth?
Jack and Logan are chasing Terry.

Bookit! But not straight back to the ship, we have to shake any chasers first. Assuming we can catch a breath in a safe, quiet alley, we can make further plans there.

Agreed. Let's skedaddle!

Well, technically, Logan is chasing Jack, but the effect is the same. "Pant! Pant!" Logan chugs along behind Jack muttering between breaths, "I'm more out of shape than I thought I was."

We have radios, right? Or not.
If so, Henry will alert the ones inside the office:
"Incoming! Two of 'em, on foot."

Captain Thaddeus Pryce strolls down the city street, shaking his head to clear out the cobwebs. Clearly an eye opener would be in order! The heavyset former soldier still wears his military cloth armor, although the insignia must have been torn off by... someone? He takes long strides, his blade swinging at this side. Suddenly he hears the crack of two shots in a nearby office. He tugs his shotgun from the scabbard on his back, slips off the safety, and crouches into a defensive position behind a waste receptacle, his gaze shooting from the office door to the left and right, watching what develops...

Logan slows down and fades over to the corner of a building to look around. Running down the street is way too obvious of a target, he thinks. He looks around to see if anyone is coming after Henry or himself, then if it is clear move around the corner and continue keeping his eyes open for dangers ahead, behind and to the sides.

Ok, those in the office note a back door they can use if desired.
Thaddeus spots the two church patrol officers breaking into a run towards the permit office the gunshots seem to have come from.
Those chasing Terry are so far able to continue to do so. He seems unaware that he might be followed. They do spot 2 church patrol officers heading the opposite direction likely towards the permit office, but they pay no heed to Terry or yourselves.

Jack is glad the patrol officers are ignoring him and continues to proceed. What are his chances of catching Terry? A little forceful questioning might be needed
