[Swindle is rearranging merchandise on the shelf. Even if some of the merchandise has been hidden removed to comply with the newly enforced guidelines, the shop still looks very well stocked.

And since customers have been going in and out all day (they're one of the few places with power in the area, and the other Swindles have been making a nice profit by renting out some of the recharge berths in the back), Swindle won't really notice another bot coming through the door.]

Swindle, Swindle, and Swindle axiom_npc September 17 2009, 00:28:50 UTC

All right, let's get this over with.

[Demolishor is not the only one at the door. A band of heavily-armed TransTechs are with him, fanning out to either side.]

All right, everybody, if you are not a proprietor of this shop - and we know who the proprietors are - you are to check with the guards at the door, allow for inspection, and then you will either be sent to your place of residence or you will be retained. Line up NOW.

[The others, besides the door guards, begin canvassing the store.]

SWINDLES. Front and center!

Swindle, Swindle, and Swindle areyoulovinthis September 17 2009, 01:11:17 UTC

[Well, that would be impossible not to notice. Swindle's smart enough not to pull anything stupid, and finishes the shelf he's on before following Demolishor's orders.]

If you could keep it down a bit; there's plenty of bots trying to recharge, and they really don't need to be bothered with all of this.

So, to what do I owe the honor? Should have warned me before hand; I would have cleaned the place up a bit more, gotten out some high grade for you.

Swindle, Swindle, and Swindle axiom_npc September 17 2009, 01:24:15 UTC

Shut your exhaust before I add another charge.

[Demolishor faces him, just waiting for an excuse to get him on a resisting charge.]

You owe the honour due to recieving contraband goods, sale of contraband goods, and however many charges of stocking illegal merchandise my men find.

[And his men are, as directed, searching the racks, scanning, tossing stock to the ground to see what's behind it, checking for secret panels.]

It looks like your 'customers' [Can't you hear the sneer?] will have to make do with only three Swindles instead of four.

Cuff the little jerkaft.

[As ordered, one of the officers steps forward with cuffs in hand.]

Swindle, Swindle, and Swindle areyoulovinthis September 17 2009, 03:14:11 UTC

Now wait just a nanoklik! [He runs to try and pick up the things that are being knocked over and tossed aside; those are fragile!] The shop's up to code! Just had an inspection. Proof's right there on the wall.

And speaking of proof, where's yours? Last I checked, you can't just throw a bot in cuffs because you don't like him.

Swindle, Swindle, and Swindle axiom_npc September 17 2009, 17:04:10 UTC

Resisting arrest - that'll get you another charge.

[More than one weapon was leveled on the protesting mech, some of them starting to glow.]

Gonna get smart, vaccuum tubes? Arright then, let's talk proof.

[By now, the smart 'customers' are on their way out after their thorough inspections at the door, and Swindle is getting a big, noticeably tight hand on his shoulder in a way that parodies friendly ( ... )

Swindle, Swindle, and Swindle areyoulovinthis September 19 2009, 15:11:35 UTC

[He winces at the hand on his shoulder; that was gonna leave a dent.]

Can't blame a bot for hoping.

Look, this has been a rough decacycle for all of us. So, how about I go with you, your team gets some high grade from the back, and we handle this like gentlemechs?

Swindle, Swindle, and Swindle axiom_npc September 21 2009, 18:43:05 UTC

That's the first smart idea you've had all day.

You heard 'im, boys! High grade's on him!

[That was not a becoming expression on Demolishor's face. He released Swindle's shoulder roughly in favour of snapping a cuff around Swindle's wrists.]

Now. You're under arrest, Swindle of Malgus 1207.26 Alpha. Your rights...

We'll think about rights after we get you up to detainment.

[And Demolishor's voice was a voice that shouldn't chuckle like that.]
