[Video] Second summoning- knowledge is power

[Forward dated to... after Madara shenanigans.]

[Nathaniel's face flickers on the screen again. His background looks slightly familiar- as a matter of fact, he's currently in the building formerly known as the Pokehouse, formerly known as Whipstaff manor. In one of the studies, to be exact- and if you look, really pay attention to the sliver of ( Read more... )

1. Obviously, murder and severely injuring someone is condoned. And yet it still happens. Why? Because the consequences for such an action are little more than a slap on the wrist- even less so if one is powerful enough to get away with such acts, ie: Lucifer, Madara, other villains in the past. True, in Adstringendum, murder isn't as big of a deal, not when people can simply return from the dead. However, it's still something to be taken seriously, and should be treated as such.

1a. Since we cannot simply go by the 'eye for an eye' theory, we must consider the murderer first. Is he or she powerful enough to resist all efforts to make him or her submit? If so, then this is why we need the Animus- or at least a being of equal power- on our side. There is no other option- we need to be able to overcome these people's power. Once we are able to do that, then they must be restricted, confined, and rendered unable to use their abilities. Consider sensory deprivation or the use of certain drugs to dull their awareness. The time ( ... )

6. Openly defying or attacking a police force member should be met with a higher level of punishment. We are here to keep the peace, to try and protect others- targeting those on patrol is an obvious ploy to leave citizens unprotected. Anyone caught purposely attacking an officer should be arrested.

7. This is not a law, but a suggestion. In order to form a more advanced society, there should be more than a mere police force. We need a governing body to regulate laws. We need a judicial system. And we need more public events- people have allied with one another, but they have not put their talents to significant use. A market place where those who can knit, forge pottery, cook- should be able to sell their wares and benefit from contributing to the rest of the community. What we have here is not merely lawlessness, but a system in which people feel that they benefit by keeping to themselves- the only feeling of unity is in the small circles of friendships people have formed. We need more than that, it we're going to ( ... )

Good work, Monsieur. Pts. 4 and 5 will be up for discussion during our meeting on the 9th as they have an immediate effect on unit duties and organisation. Laws against stealing and murder are natural additions to any civilized society and I propose that we write them up outside public voting. As for the PCDs, we need a seperate article. The way things are now, misusing them is much too easy.

Your pt. 7 is, of course, an important observation. I believe that a network-based trading system should be created in addition to the market place.

Did you observe the containment of Madara? This is relevant to your pt. 1a in particular.

Re: 4 and 5. I didn't mean that they should go into effect the instant a police force is made. We need time to build a reputation of accountability and trust before we attempt to completely change the way people live.

I can also take on the task work of trying to generate a feeling of community. It's similar to what I did as the Information Minister back in London- however, as my servants are currently unavailable, I may need a few assistants.

As for Madara... yes, I've watched all of that carefully. While I don't believe we have the power to say what should be done to him, it's an interesting learning experience for anyone considering joining our police force- in how to deal with criminals, once they have been apprehended.

Of course not. But in terms of unit structure, we need to consider such things from the beginning. Any potential unit leaders need to know what we're aiming for.

Someone like Sokka would be a good assistant for you in this endavour. As a note, on an overall basis, I'll maintain records for the time being. This extends to your project.

The technique used for containing him might be applicable to others. I'll speak to Unohana Retsu to obtain further information.

True.

I'll attempt to contact him, and I appreciate your record keeping. I'm sure it will prove extremely useful in the future.

And I like that way of thinking. Miss Unohana and I are... not exactly close. But if you do speak with her, I would very much be interested in the outcome.

'Not exactly close'. Did you make her angry?

She isn't fond of my views.

Ah. That's predictable of her.

What makes you say that?

She's simply a very careful woman.

[By this, he means that she's really old and rigid. -_-]

A useful ally, though.

Yes. She's offering me information, so I suppose I can't have made her too angry.

So long as she's cooperating. Incidentally, she'll be amongst the people looking over your proposals tomorrow.

Oh dear. Well, I hope they meet with her approval.

I'm sure.
