Out the back door it is, and away from the building through alleys & zigzags until we are alone long enough to catch our breath, look presentable and whistle innocently as we mingle with the denizens in the street.

Leave the clerk as is? He will be able to identify you when he comes around...

As the church officials draw near, with their attention on the permit office (I hope), Henry silently backs away from his watch post. If they haven't seen him, he can make his way away from the area. If they have, he could have a problem (even though he didn't do anything).
If I get free I'll make my way back to the ship.

Pretty sure Sharon doesn't have one. I'm pretty sure she's a sociopath too, so I guess she'll get her knife out and do the laundry. That way we can split the terrible decision making between us.
Let's hope we haven't just placed ourselves into the middle of a Coen brothers fiasco.

Well, let's do the deed and slip out the back. I suppose we'll have to take out the nurse as well eventually, since he can identify us too. He wouldn't have any proof, but he may very well state his suspicions.

Hmm, before you get too hasty, here's something to consider. What is the value of your permit if the clerk turns up murdered on the day (and time?) the permit was issued?
Not that you're really in a good position with the permit...

Hmm. Am I right in thinking we only need the permit once, to get through the gate into the outback? After that we can just send the ship out to pick us up.
If the guards show up and there's a murder, then maybe everything will shut down immediately. But if he's alive, he can ID us, but we might also be able to slip out of town on our permits before anyone knows that they're looking for someone.

You could also go back to the ship and just lift off and land somewhere (which was discussed earlier)...
The big question is if there is possibly anything else you want to do in "town." Of course I'm sure you could find a way to get back into town...

In that case, I don't think it matters too much if the clerk can identify the two of us. We'll just run off, try out our permits if someone stops us in the outback (dang, should've thought to try printing them out with a falsified issue date), and if we need to do something in town again then we can just send someone else.

Okay, Zeb looks out the back door to see if the coast is clear. If it is he signals to Sharon and proceeds cautiously.

So at this point you are leaving the clerk alive or dead? Just to be clear.

Alive

Alive, as I originally planned. But Zeb will make sure he'll be out cold for a little while.

Ok, you make sure the clerk will be out for awhile. Mother has Medical-1 so she can administer something to make sure he's out for an hour or more, but not in danger. You slip out the back door into the alleys, making your way back to the ship? Henry is easily able to avoid the church patrol. What does Thaddeus want to do (OOC: I may have him bump into the Permit Office folks in an alley if you don't come up with a better way to get in with the PCs...) Jack and Logan could easily ambush Terry if they wanted. Hmm, I still have Zebulon at the Port Control Office, Piper hasn't been around for quite some time. Anyone have thoughts on what he should be doing?

(OOC: I am not sure yet if Thaddeus is warped enough to start shooting at the church officials without further provocation) Seeing the two armed officials heading toward the site of the gunshots, Thaddeus clicks the safety back on his shotgun, returns it to its scabbard, and nonchalantly moseys down the alley toward the back of the building where he bumps into Sharon and Zeb... and he thinks he recognizes one or more of them.

"Er, Shari? um, Karen? No don't tell me... oh, Sharon! What are you doing here? Do you have time to sit down for and catch up for a spell?"

"Does it look like it? Come with us and make sure we don't cross paths with any police you've seen walking around. I'll explain later."

Slightly flustered, Thaddeus strokes his beard.
"Okay, uh, well allons y! I did see a couple armed churchies, looked like they were heading toward the front entrance of this here building."
He nods to Zebulon.

As you turn a corner safely away, you see another pair of church officers heading towards the back door... Too little too late :-)

Zebulon nods back at Thaddeus and keeps moving.
Upon seeing the church officers, Zeb hides behind a wall and watches their activity.

Sorry for confusion, too late on their part not your part... They will find no suspects inside... You're safe for now.

"Hey Logan, what do we want to ask Terry if we interrogate him?" comms Jack "I thought you were just following him to see where he goes." Logan comms back, "I'm following you to make sure you don't get ambushed. Do you really want to grab him and try to interrogate him?"

I guess my group heads to the ship. After traversing a safe distance, Zebulon introduces himself to Thaddeus.
"Hi, I'm Zebulon, Zeb for short."
