Duty and Etiquettes
Within Arcadia a lecture in one of the largest Harmonium compounds is taking place. Several new and old a like is taking part of the lecture. A gruff and disgruntled seeming dreadfully scarred man in his fifties limbs to the front of the classroom of thirty people. HeÂ’s missing eye, left hand and his left leg seems to be embraced with metallic supports. ItÂ’s clear this is a real veteran, signs of Mover four in his suit.
As he finally gets to the front, he casts a one eyed glare to the class of expectant students that still seem to sit comfortably and suddenly blurts out on loud and demanding tone “Attention! Superior in classroom, show respect!” the classroom snaps to standing position and salutes, chairs and tables having creaking and being shoved aside, couple falling down. ”As you were. I am Bennok Zar, mover four of Harmonium... Todays lecture is about Duty and Etiquettes. There will be test. Some of you will pass… ” his gaze drifting through the crowd ”But not all of you. So listen carefully!”
He limbed through the front of the class back and forth, though he was clearly damaged man and lacked grace definitely. He seemed to grasp the respect of most within the class in relentless soldier attitude. ”Notaries, what is our duty?!” he shouted the question in demanding tone to the class. A hesitation within the classroom, but then a more unified and scrambled reply “Creating peace!”. Lecturer was not impressed so he shouted again. ”I can’t hear you!” now the classroom seemed to gather unified answer ”To create peace!” a slight grin on the lecturers face ”There’s hope for you rookies yet. And correct, peace is our goal.” he shifts his position again, half-dragging his left leg with him.
”While we create and uphold peace, we have a proper way of doing it. This differs us from barbarians and criminals. It may seem tedious, it may take more time, but the Harmonium is not a place for sissies.” He lifted his fist in air and extended finger each time he added new things to remember.
- [b]”Rule number one: [i]You [u]will[/u] respect your superiors and do as ordered.[/i]” “Rule number two: [i]You shall not disgrace Harmonium or our symbol.[/i]” “Rule number three: [i]You will not question your companions in public.[/i]“ “Rule number four: [i]You will obey the rules of engagement when necessary.[/i]” “Rule number five: [i]You will act in exemplar manner for others.[/i]“[/b] [/li]
You are to act united, if our foes or civilians see our opinions to differ or other dents in our armor, they will use it. If you disagree with your companion or superior, you do not question them openly, you will discuss them in private, if no peace can come between ourselves, then damn we are not going to make such for others either.
Rules of Engagement you need to remember. First a warning is to be given and a chance to come or go peacefully. If warning is not heard or listened you are to evaluate the situation to either make firmer warning and last chance to come peacefully or to engage if situation so requires. If you are under assault, you are not required to warn the assailant. Avoid lethal strikes where able, but do not let it compromise your combat effectiveness, thereÂ’s no one else to blame than the idiots that donÂ’t take a chance to surrender where due.
And if you ever publically disgrace the Harmonium or its symbol deliberately, you will be expelled. Is this understood?!”
A booming reply ”Sir, yes sir!” and another grin spread to the lecturers face. ”Now to see if you rookies have been listening today or on your other lectures, test time.” he limbed from the front to pass pile of papers that were quickly spread around the room for each participants…
