I sense a distinct lack of motion here...
If ANYONE wants to think of a decent way for Rand to put his law skill into effect, please do so. I already gave the criteria... err... ages back.
Meanwhile, Takuan and Gallador- still ready to go with you whenever you want!
Tanic, are you talking about finding how to get them legitimately, or otherwise? Takuan has already been scouting out for spares, of course.
my idea on how rand is supposed to use his law:
they agreed to let us in here in order to fulfil our purpose, namely acquiring the parts we need, and the get out.
what we must use here..is the fact that our goal fulfilment on this planet is obstructed by us not being in full force. there have to be all of us out there for maximum efficiency. we might not even be able to complete the gathering witrhout all of us doing their parts.
a damn shame about us not thinking of asylum when we could....that would have been best by far.
as for meeting the guy..i'm ready when you are
Actually, I like that idea, Dexx.
"Look, sir," Rand says. "To fulfill our goal, we need to be all together. You agreed to let us onto the planet to do our intended things, namely acquiring parts, and then we leave. But, if we are not all together, this is obstructed; we will never be able to leave with our goals finished if you do not allow our friends clearance, meaning we won't be able to leave."
"As you said, we are allowed to finish our goal before we leave..."
This is where it went wrong at interview (and I appreciate you weren't playing at that point, but that's just a difficulty you will have to live with)- those confined to the starport failed to convince the Bureau that they had any such expertise at all. Everyone who did so convince them, they let out (even though they did not want to).
