[103] [150] Incident
Running super late, probably because I am hideously tired this morning for some reason. I got a decent amount of sleep, I have no idea why I feel so crappy, ugh.
Way to go 'Murica!
Your guide, who is called Fioral, shows you from room to room, explaining the planet. 'Our gods are freedom and equality,' says the little creature. 'This is an extremely pleasant planet to live on and it welcomes settlers of all types. Everyone is entirely equal, whether they have lived here all their lives or have just arrived. Everyone may also do anything they like here - we have no need for laws.' He shows you round the records office, planning area and rooms of state.
On the way back to the debating chamber, you pass the guard room. You ask why, if there are no laws, they have the need for guards. Fioral stops and explains, 'Guards do not guard things, we do not need to protect things. It's just that some members of our community get pleasure out of attacking others and, of course, they are free to do as they wish. But in fairness to the rest of the population, they dress up in uniforms and call themselves guards so as to warn others that they must be on guard when a guard passes. Do you understand?'
While you are considering this, however, three of these guards have left their room and have crept up behind you. They leap on your backs and wrestle with you. Fioral backs away.
First GUARD (Skill 8, Stamina 10)
Second GUARD (Skill 7, Stamina 9)
Third GUARD (Skill 7, Stamina 10)
Fight! Redshirt Throm takes the first guard, you take the third, while your Medical Officer and Science Officer team up against the second one, because they're kind of crappy at beating people up. It's a tough one to start out with, but everyone makes it out mostly intact.
Fioral steps back out of the shadows and approaches you. He seems not to be in the least bit surprised by the scuffle. You ask why the guards attacked. 'Oh, for no reason,' he says. 'They are free to do anything they like.'
