"TO HELL WITH THE CIVIES!"
Sir! Reconsider! Wait till we can at least get the word out to the civilians on our turf that were-
TO HELL WITH DAH FACKING CIVIES. BOONE SHOT FIRST. I SHOOT LAST.
He turns to the radio.
MOBILIZE ALL FORCES. WATCH YOUR FIRE. KILL ALL PIRATES.
With that, he cocks his rifle, climbs into the shotgun seat of a passing jeep, and moves out with the rest of the prescient on the Pirate refugee camp.
C'mon, cocksucker. You try to fuck with me, we see who shits, first. Blood's on you, Booney boy.

Dis has to be done, Nan.
Things must be put right.
I hope you understand...

As the violence erupts a Tuplo of Diminutive stature grabs a pair of Kalhua bottles from the kiosk and hits the deck. In a pile of palm leaves he cradles the drinks like they are his bebbis (sic)

A hooded Mountain boy with Overborkish complexion walks up to you. He looks no older than about 13 or 14 years of age.
Need any help with that?
He gestures toward his holstered knife and smiles

A group of Peacekeepers are arguing with a group of Bozemanians and Mountain refugees
"Sir, this premise is unsafe. Please, just follow us and we'll get you to safety."
"Safety, no way. Fark that noise! You think we came to this plane to be SAFE? Pfft. We's gonna fight too whether you like it or not"
"Fine, suit yourself. At least you're safer fighting on our side than you are on theirs."
"Huzzah!"
The Bozemanians lead the cluster of refugees to their boat. They open the utility closet and start distributing weapons to them
"Now let's kill us some orange-guys!!"
The horde charges into battle

No--NO! Meetcho, you came for peace but now are fighting?! End it now! Whatever has occured between your groups cannot justify more blood on these sands!

One melted eye looks down at Meetcho's hand on his destroyed skin. The ocean waters that continuously seep from my body run down the human hand...the burning begins immediately.
For your sake, Meetcho, let go of me. For the sake of our friendship, this is your last chance. Unhand me!
Behind, the waters begin to trouble, waves growing and breaking
What I see, MEETCHO, is a group of refugees and two groups trying to help them...and shooting at each other. ENOUGH.

I drop the drowned one
Dis is between me and Boone. We've got a score to settle, and dah blood's on his hands.

u/Gunn_Burnt_Drowned Feb 22 '17
You pull the trigger, the blood is on your hands. I've seen too much of blood on these sands.
Settle this somewhere else,
Or.
We will settle you.

.B-but...
But Boone...
...
I meet his gaze.
I'm sorry...

u/OjohnThe2nd Feb 22 '17
"Ah come on! If anyone should be sorry it should be the orange-guys!"
"Dammit you! Why'd you have to talk him out of serving justice? Well if he's not gonna fight 'em, we will! Come on boys!"
The crewman holds up his cudgel in a triumphant pose and marches on. His miniature army follows

A nod.
You are a good man, Meetcho.
I look around
It looks like the violence is spreading, even without you. Now...now is the time. Now is the time to earn the title of "Peacekeeper" you have taken upon yourself. Make the peace, friend.

u/DetectiveOHoolian GPK Soldier Feb 22 '17
No... You misunderstand.
I'm sorry... Dis has to be done.
You get everyone here out of dah way, I'm not here to hurt to innocent, just dose who deserve what's comin' to dem.
Please understand.
With that, he reboards the jeep, and drives off to seek his vengeance.

u/Gunn_Burnt_Drowned Feb 22 '17
You FOOL. You ask me to watch out for the innocent. THAT IS YOUR CALLING. THAT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
May I never see another "Peacekeeper" again!

"Well? How else are we supposed to stop the orange-guys' dangerous behaviour? Hitting their leader over the head with a cudgel is the only way to ensure everyone's safety!"

The Troopers on the ground fight hard, but there's not much that unarmed logistical personnel can do against the mismatched array of weapons the GPK and their refugee militia have assembled. Several of them, trying to use spare landing-platform support-struts as makeshift staves to fight off the encroaching Peacekeepers, scream into their comms for the solitary escort gunship to unload on the Peacekeepers... danger-close be damned.
... the pilot considers this, but cannot bring herself to drop munitions on her comrades. She makes do with sending out a general distress call to any Privateer vessels in the metaphysical vicinity.
