Grego cuts the sergeant across the neck ever so slightly to emphasize Ash's point.

Sergeant Tanau
"We got you beat, Ashley," he snears, and then winces as Grego cuts him with the laser. He holds his breath and then says, "Look. I don't want to die for that chicken shit, but my best men are out there. You so much as sneeze wrong and you'll get tazed until your urethea freezes permanently open and you never stop pissing yourself. Compute? I got six men in there, including Panama Peete."
Panama Peete is a known war veteran who is rumored to have punched his way into an armored vehicle with an exosuit. While on fire. And gut shot. Also, he may shoot lightning out of his ass, but that could be another rumor.

Mina claps and giggles with delight when Rik makes his moves. "That's amazing, Rik! Suicide Split!" She repeats the name. Seeing Damak with Sergeant Tanau pulls her attention away from the good time, though. She slides up to Rik again, holding herself close to him. "We need to draw off those guards so somebody can take out the governor. Want to ask them to dance?"

"Call your men off, Tanau. Unless you want to be a foot shorter that is. Let us peacefully escort the governor out of here." Da5id pokes him with her rifle for emphasis.

Rhugo is busting his head, trying to come up with a plan. His gaze travels to the fallen bucket of shrimp and soon enough a plan forms in his head - one that he's not really fond of, but it could break this stalemate.
"Got a plan. A ridiculous one, but might as well work." he says and proceeds to share the details with his comrades.

[ +- ] El plan
Rhugo would be the distraction. He'll pick up a few shrimp and ruin them a bit more - rubbing them against muddy boots and hairy carpets; you get the gist. He'll storm out there throwing shrimps around in a rage, taking advantage of his imposing figure, trying to get to the governor and complain. Security should close in on him and try to calm him down and/or escort him outside.At that point he could even flip a passing waiter's tray, for extra attention. Any chance someone can snag the fucker so we can scram?

Rik blushes when Mina compliments him on his moves, but still tries to be smug about it. "Just a little something I've been working on. It's no big deal." He then remembers what he saw in the split second he was in the air. Damak was being escorted to a side entrance. That can't be good... For that guy.
When she mentions distracting the guards, he nods. "Good idea. Something is going on with Damak. Did you see?" He looks over at the guards. "I'll distract that one." He points to one of them.

Mina reaches up to her earpiece and turns up the volume as Rhugo explains his wild plan. "Roog, this sounds more like improvising than a plan to me... I love it!" She approaches one of the guards and begins to sway a bit as if she's suddenly drunk. She trips and pitches herself forward towards the guard, letting out a girlish squeak. Here goes nothing, let's see if he'll catch me. If not, I'll play hurt.

If that's your plan, then maybe we should have a roll or two to enact it.

Rik watches Mina walk towards the guard, then gets to work on his own distraction.
He walks to one of the others guards. "Hey son. Would you be so kind as to show me the way to the illegal poker game." He says in a hushed voice, so other guests can't hear. A high class party like this always had one. Usually they played Teculon Hold'em, and Rik was not unfamiliar with a bit of gambling. "I was invited by a friend, but lost track of him when I reached the dance floor."

"Oi! I forgot about the commlinks! Wait up Mina!"
He said - already too late, as Mina fancied some good old mayhem apparently. He scrambled to scavenge a couple handfuls of shrimp, stashed his blaster rifle inside his utility vest and rushed outside.
"This is outrageous! Borderline blasphemous! A disgrace!"
He looked around in an exaggerating, theatrical way;
"Scandalous! Intolerable! The humiliation! The insolence! Governor! Oh Governor! I demand reparations at once! Let me through, let me THROUGH! GOVERNOOOR!!!"
Throughout this badly played overdramatic monologue, Rhugo begun shoving the stepped on and messed shrimp underneath people's noses; reaching his crescendo, he begun flinging shrimp at every direction and shoving everyone in his path, putting those huge muscles in use.

"You guys are all the same. All bluster. No follow through!" She hopes the other guys don't hear that but what can you do? Sewing some seeds of chaos was a good approach in her mind.
"You know I'm a celebrity, right? Celebrities have privileges!! And you. You aren't as tough as you look! Big words don't cover the fact that you're a wimp without a brain dressed in large muscles. If you think that blade scares me, think again, loser!"
It did but she wasn't about to admit it. Instead, she jabbed him hard in the back with her rifle and tazed him.

Reminder: dice showing 4+ are successes. Combat is fairly abstract, and results in reduction to the guard's collective morale/stamina. You've now engaged them in a variety of ways. Governor's Guards: Good armor, light blasters, laser halberds; Morale 13
I'll let Grego and Ash act, and Rik if he wants to add dice, before the remaining guards retaliate. They'll then roll dice and potentially reduce the morale damage you do, or if they exceed yours, you'll take stress instead.
Rik and Mina begin to distract the other guards, Mina trip-falling into one, and he catches her, which takes his hands well away from his sidearm. "Easy there, miss," he offers lamely. Meanwhile, Rik asks another guard about an illegal poker game, but the guard just ignores him, watching the action rather than the guest.
Damak zaps Sergeant Tanau, and he crumples to the ground in a small pool of his own urine.

Grego begins to lose his patience with all this sneaking around and other tomfoolery. "Gah! Just put someone in front of me to kill." He adopts a drunken posture and steps out of the hall into the party. He snags a drink from a passing waiter, splashes some on his shirt and downs the rest. Then he begins to stumble toward the side stage the guards took Rhugo too. "Hey guys, what are you doing with my buddy?!?" he slurs out.
Then, when he gets to the stage, he closes the curtain behind him. "Hello boys." Igniting his laser sword, he attacks the guards, venting his frustration on their bodies savagely.

"Oh! Well then ...."
Damak presumes the sergeant is dead and heads over to the others prepared for all hell to break loose which apparently it has already as she hears lasers and all kinds of commotion and then sees Rik and Mina making perfect nuisances of themselves.

After hearing Rhugo's plan, Ash agrees and realizes they don't have much use for the sorry sac of a sergeant that Tanau now was. He's about to clock him over the head with his rifle when Damak tasers him. As the convulsing security chief collapses under him, he smiles and gives Damak a nod of respect, "Nicely done," before stepping over the body and entering the party with the others.
Doing a quick scan of the room with his targeting goggles, he immediately finds Panama Peete, his exosuit giving off insane levels of radiation. "Fuck, that guy is holding serious electrical potential in that thing!" he says over the comms to his team, "but, if I can maneuver behind the Lieutenant and get my magnetic boot on the him, I might be able to sabotage the suit to trigger an uncontrolled release of that energy and we'll have some Pan-fried Peete ... Now that will be quite the light show for the party!"
He waits for Rhugo's distraction and then makes his move at the same time as everyone else ...

"Hey buddy, the poker game?" Rik tries to get the guard's attention, but the guy seems to be looking across the room to some ruckus near where he saw Damak earlier. Is that Rhugo's voice? Oh, shit. I forgot my comm link.
He looks down at his jacket pocket, where he put the thing before entering, and spots the guard's sting pen. Standard security equipment attached to his belt. Like an epi-pen, but instead, delivering a dose of muscle numbing drugs. Oh, well that's just perfect! Rik grins. With Rhugo's distraction, he'll have this guy taken out in a flash.
He reaches for the pen and tries to jab it into the dude's leg.
@Qralloq, do I need more than one roll here? Maybe one for stealing and one for attacking?

OOC:
Tanau is down, taken out quietly. The other guards have a go, opposed rolls to your own - they have armor and training and GM fiat. The rules are a bit loose, but I'm interpreting that: 1) they started with 13 morale; 2) taking out their leader Tanau was worth 4 morale (the roll made against him);
3) the 9 remaining morale/guards get 2 dice each (per morale) for defending against your shenanigans;
4) their successes will reduce yours;
5) their morale (and numbers) will reduce of your successes exceed theirs.
Let's see! They show 10. You rolled: 14, so you reduced the guards to 5 morale. That means there are roughly 5 elite guards remaining. The others have been distracted, kidney punched, bribed or seduced (no judgements) and are out of the action.
The crowd screams, pandemonium ruling and the remaining guards leap to intercept Ash and the others not wearing party clothing.
Your moves once more!

From her position in the guard's arms, Mina sees the chaos around her and does her best to try and contribute some of her own. She slips out of his arms and sends him sprawling as she bolts for the place where she and Rik stored their gear. "C'mon loverboy, let's get our stuff!"
