"If you were indeed with Concord security services, you would be programmed with the knowledge that such actions would represent intimidation and violation of my rights as a citizen of the Rigunmor Star Consortium; thus, any testimony you extracted would be inadmissable in a court of law.

"However, I know that you are not with Concord security, as not only are you violating inviolable legal principles, but I have been working closely with them in investigating the death of my friend Brian Cole. And the serial number on your chestplate states you are of StarMech manufacture, intended for civilian use, and obsolete by the time robotic security aids were purchased here.

Zippy scores an automatic Ordinary success by limiting his target to an extremity shot. Alamein takes a MYSTERY amount of wound damage.

He takes the shot as if he was carved out of stone, totally unflinching. "Now you have committed assault with a deadly weapon, a felony under the Treaty of Concord.
