Uh filler is not what Shaz had in mind I don't think.  Longer as in taking time to develop characters, not longer in terms of posting volume.  Let's face it, the post was filler, accomplished little (it did not develop characters, in fact it went contrary to how most characters act), and really needs to be seriously edited to be of use.

Can we move on and just get the story going again?

"The way of war is a way of deception. When able, feign inability; when deploying troops, appear not to be. When near, appear far; when far, appear near. Lure with bait; strike with chaos. If the enemy is full, be prepared. If strong, avoid him. If he is angry, disconcert him. If he is weak, stir him to pride. If he is relaxed, harry him; if his men are harmonious, split them. Attack where he is unprepared; appear where you are unexpected. This is victory in warfare; it cannot be divulged in advance. Victory belongs to the side that scores most in the temple calculations before battle. Most spells victory; least spells defeat; none, surer defeat. I see it in this way, and the outcome is apparent." -- Sun Tzu

Uh Jack.  Starting to shoot at the guards surrounding us with your arm is really not a good idea, especially since we are all in binds and can't exactly take advantage of the element of surprise.  We do, however, have what gear we hid in our armour.  I know I have a pistol and maybe one or two others hid weapons.  Once we are locked up, standard procedure would be to lock up our gear and weapons, probably at some kind of vault near the detention centre entrance.  This way, they would be in the care of the sergeant or officer on duty who was incharge of the main desk.  A good course of action might be to be put in our cell.  Then once a guard enters, cause some form of confusion in order to gather what few guards there would be (guard at the desk plus a couple on staff to deal with problems, food, etc.) and then get our gear.  We could even tie up and gag the guards and leave them in our cell, whatever method seems fitting and above all, realistic.

Guys, I'm really sorry that I haven't been posting on the story recently. What I'm trying to do is save up for the next story and give it all I've got. I'm trying not to screw up twice in one story, basically. But for the next one, since I have learned from my mistakes, hopefully I'll be able to make some great posts.
