[QUOTE="Ladybird, post: 3447607, member: 10689"] Once again, CP's words, my computer. Alas, for CP's computer woes! But yay for his Story Hour! --- "Is there any way we could deter them from attacking?" asked Dame Brionna. "Impossible, even though they know that the mission carries dishonor with it. They know that if they fail, they dishonor the Society in one way, and if they succeed, they dishonor it in a different way." "But would they be honorable if we captured them?" "I do not think you would succeed in capturing them. They would not surrender. The honor of the Masters is different from the honor of one such as me." Dame Brionna frowned. "They would not give their parole and speak honorably?" "Oh, they would speak honorably. But they would not give their parole-- for as long as they lived, they would strive to accomplish their mission. But of course they would speak honorably-- to not speak honorably would be to lack law!" The Harlequin seemed shocked and appalled by even the notion of lacking law. "Do you know anything about the strategy they will employ, or when they will attack?" "I do not know for certain. I suspect that one will wait to the last minute to strike, though perhaps that would be foolish. Our strategist was taken early." "Not very good at strategy, then, was he?" jabbed Kit. The Harlequin's face took on a sour look. "Perhaps you have reason." Dame Brionna continued pressing on the tactical questions. "Would they act alone, or get henchmen?" "Henchmen are difficult to come by here. There are plenty who will take your platinum, but few who will then act with honor. Have you not found this?" "Not when 'acting with honor' means killing the Archduke. Our people are loyal to their liege," said Dame Brionna, a tad sanctimoniously. "Our people also have a strong sense of self-preservation," added Kit. [/QUOTE]
