As the Iridar ship is immobilized against the shore, civil beachgoers flee the waters. In their place, city police mixed with palace guardsmen begin to appear. One particularly bold guard captain, after some discussion with his inferiors, places his weapon deliberately onto the rocky beach and begins to tread, hands raised in a gesture of non-threat, towards the boat. When he is knee-deep in the water, he calls out. "Drop your weapons, come out onto the beach, and free the diplomat. We'll send you back to Iridar, and that will be the end of that."
