Private to Security

[archeologue]

[Private to Security]

I wish to turn myself in. Any security personnel, you may come to my rooms at the resort and arrest me. I am unarmed and will not resist arrest.

I am guilty, very guilty. I have stolen artifacts and assisted in smuggling them off the planet, I have been guilty of associating with criminal organizations, I have willfully attempted to cause another man's death. I should be locked safely away for the good of the community.

[And safely away where Jabba and his bounty hunters and Orion thugs can't get to him, looking for a diamond sword that he doesn't have. Belloq knows that Jabba doesn't forgive people he thinks have stolen from him. Time in prison, with possibility of parole or escape, is better than becoming dinner for Jabba's pets.]

[Belloq sighs. It's humiliating to be carted across town in chains, but he can survive humiliation.

He puts his hands wrist to wrist behind his back and turns around to be cuffed.]

[thumbsdown]

[With the handcuffs in place, Boone nudges Belloq towards the door.]

Get moving.

[The nudge isn't particularly gentle, but it's not enough to hurt or trip Belloq. He doesn't see any point in pushing him around excessively when he's in cuffs, no matter how pissed off he is. He already made his point with his machete. He doesn't see much point in talking about what happened, either. Niko is right- Belloq will never regret what he did, and he's sure other people have already brought up anything he would've said. The best thing he can do is leave Belloq to rot alone in jail, and be there for Niko when he needs him.]

[Belloq smiles grimly and starts to walk. Whatever comes, he means to survive it. He doesn't expect his time in jail to be pleasant, but this is where his choices have led him. Perhaps they'll at least allow him some books. Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" would probably be appropriate.]
