Justice | [Video&Text]

[closedcircuit]

Hello, Vatheon.

[Ky's carefully formal, seated at his desk with the SFC set up to create a very formal atmosphere.]

I'm Ky Kiske, and I don't represent any formal group. Nonetheless, I was hoping that you might take the time to answer a few questions. We all live in this place together, and I think there are some steps that can be taken to make this more of a community and a community where we can feel safer.

You can answer either verbally or with a written response of your own, but either way I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your answers with you, to determine what nuance there is.

[He pauses, then sends out the questions by text.]

1. What is the most severe crime where you come from?

2. What is your society's stance on murder?

3. What keeps you from murdering people? (Is it concern for the consequences or concern on a moral level?)

4. Have you ever found yourself on the "wrong side of the law"?

5. What is your experience with courts or judges?

6. Would you volunteer for jury duty if it was asked of you?

[He inserts a brief explanation of a jury here.]

7. Do you presume innocence or guilt in a case where someone has been accused of a crime?

[He switches back to video.]

Thank you for your time.

No problem

Do you...generally kill people for money?

[ Ky has lots and lots of disapproval for that idea. ]

Da, I do. I am mercenary with contract for RED Organization, like my teammate Medic. I kill the mercenaries in contract with BLU Organization. Both of us have respawn system, I kill them, they kill me, we come back and do it again.

Has been that way for years.

A...respawn system?

[How odd and unnatural.]

What's the point, then, if you both come back? Who would pay you under those circumstances?

[sandvich_good]

To complete goal. Whether it be pushing kart, defending base, capturing intelligence, or something else, killing each other is only part. Once goal is complete, we win. We are paid to kill each, as well as finish goal.

You understand that things work differently here?

[sandvich_good]

Da. Does not mean I will just stand here, though. If comrades are attacked, there will be retaliation.

If your comrades are attacked then what needs to happen is a proper judicial procedure that works to decrease the likelihood of such a thing happening again.

[sandvich_good]

Tell me. Is there judicial procedure in city now?

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

Not just yet. That's what I'm working on.

[Video]

[sandvich_good]

Well. Good luck with that.
