A knight's imprisonment

[stupidhonor]

[1, right after mission]
[If you open the captive Ankaian unit cockpit, you find its pilot to look like a completely normal human woman. People who hoped for more weird aliens will be disappointed.

She however is armed with a sword - and points it at you! But the sword is sheathed, and given hilt first.]

I yield. By my name I swear to act like a captive should, make no attempts to backstab nor escape unless let go willfully.

I am now at your mercy.

Yes? What comes now?

Torture, is it?

[Sitting in a cell, Sielje is ready to be interrogated. She actually behaves without causing trouble as promised so if you have questions, ask them and see if she answers.]

Honor demands we let the non-combatants go unharmed. Which is what we did, but the warriors you fought did not. May these actions speak for themselves.

We do not need approval of Earth's people. We want as little to do with Earth as possible, as it was before.

I'm a non-combatant, if you didn't notice! And when I told your boss that he tried to kill me with a giant rock!

And you keep talking like those terrorists are a perfect representation of people on earth-what, you don't have thieves back in happy perfect knight land?

[stupidhonor]

Wicked people exist everywhere. But on Earth, they are accepted part of society. Not only that, they can thrive, and reach great heights, led only by their own wickedness!

... Lord Moswar was forced to make a judgement, in a chaotic and unpredictable situation. You were inside an Earth made machine of battle so he took you for a foe.


My apologies for this indiscretion.

What's a little attempted murder between friends anyways

[a_monetized_mind]

...Fine, I'll accept your apology on his behalf, but I've got one condition.

[stupidhonor]

What condition is it?

[a_monetized_mind]

I want you to actually learn about Earth, from the people who live here. Read some history books, talk to the people who work here, whatever-because I don't think you actually know all that much about us, or how things are run here.

[stupidhonor]

Do you expect my opinion of Earth to change once I learn more?

[Sielje's expression changes back and forth between self-contemplation and trying to discern intention from your face.]

[a_monetized_mind]

Well, I hope it will.

[stupidhonor]

Do not hold too high hopes.

However, I will do it. I will experience how Earth really is, to the extent that I can.
