The Paldalorian [The Legend of Vox Machina X OC]

Depths if Deceit

Percy cock his gun as it remains aimed a the prisoner's face.

A name then appears on the barrel; "Dr. Ripley".

Ripley then closes her eyes. Accepting her fate.

Percy: Doctor...

Keyleth: Percy wait!

[It was the closest thing I could find]

But the round missed and Cassandra stands between Ripley and Percy. Revealing that Cassandra pushed the gun away.

Keyleth: Percy, what are you doing?! She's unarmed!

Percy: So was my family.

Cassandra: Percy, she may have something we can use. They kept her alive for a reason.

Vex: Um. Mind telling us who the hell this is?

Percy: Dr. Anne Ripley. *Takes his mask off* Another Briarwood pawn I'm about to remove from the board.

Ripley: *Chuckles* And here I thought you were the intelligent one. We're both engineers, Percival. We know the value of knowledge. You must be curious as to the information I possess.

Percy aims his gun back at Ripley's head and cocks the hammer.

Percy: Not that curious.

Cassandra: *Push the gun* Brother, wait.

Percy: *Turns to his sister* Why should I?!

Cassandra: I've been with the Briarwoods for years, and I know next to nothing about their motives.

Percy: *Sighs, lowers his gun, and the smoke dies out* Fine. Interrogation. Then she dies.

Percy then walks away and Vax gets back to lockpicking the door open. Percy is then brought to a corner with Scanlan, Keyleth, and Pike to talk about the black smoke.
