Talak was growing tired of this game. It still nagged at his mind that he couldn't place skullface, but while he wouldn't be able to place him as associated with the Knights of Ren, the fact that he recognized him at all pointed to a position in the Sith. Or perhaps the Syndicates. Neither were allies, but he'd never actually sat down to talk to a living Syndicate member, so that was less likely to have left a familiar impression. Sith is more likely, though this is a weird situation still, he thought to himself. When the Mando mentioned collecting the bounty, that pointed to 5S and turning in an illegal bounty from a crime organization.
At best they're murderers-for-hire and at worst they're Sith. Both were groups he had killed before and neither were people that were going to back down willingly. They weren't even going to stick around to sort out the issue via questioning, let alone an actual arrest. If he said he was taking their bounty in the name of the Jedi. Well, they wouldn't go for that either.
He'd asked nicely, now it was time for something more direct. After all, noncompliant suspects weren't simply asked nicely by police to "please stop committing crimes."
Without Vinry preventing him any longer, the skullboy had picked up the unconscious Sith and only been stopped from making his way out the door by Talak, cursing and telling Talak to get out of the way.
That was fine. Talak's right foot shot out and would slam into the man's closest knee with enough force to easily break it. His saber ignited just after the kick began so as not to give any warning of an impending strike but prepared in case by some miracle there was a follow up attack. With over two hundred pounds of unconscious Sith, armor, and weapons over his shoulder there would be no leaping out of the way, dodging, maneuvering his feet to avoid it, or even drawing a weapon with his arms occupied in a fireman's carry given that he'd received no assistance from anyone else.
If there was any consolation, it was an improvement over the straight up impaling the Arcanist would have given him. While old habits died hard, he was fairly comfortable with subduing someone involved in kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon, resisting arrest, - or something like that - and probably murder. Not to mention, he had more than a nagging suspicion that this one at least was actually a Sith. @Wit @Sreeya @Insalius @KinkyPrawn @Darasuum
