@BCTheEntity@SophrusGood questions, and I had considered that...I may make a follow-up post after Bright gets his done, but I'd say that the easiest thing would be to run out the back door and fund a way to escape from there. Although the Arbites (not soldiers, BC) have the place encircled, there are always gaps to be exploited - sewers...back streets...gang turf...etc.
How much control do you have over them? Another good question, and I'd say that as much as you want
if it's plausible I.E. Leaping behind the bar and scurrying out the back door while avoiding shots is plausible, running full pelt at an Arbites and surviving/not being arrested is not. Then again, you could just let yourself be arrested...but that's up to you.
Never be afraid to ask questions, I'm all for them, especially if it helps things proceed.
