Arawn listened as Fremea, Kiet, and Will discussed the potential fate of
the Katai soldier.<BR> <BR> "I think it would be best if he is
simply teleported away along with the corpses. It would be a more
humane option," finding it odd to use the obviously racist phrase. "He is
helpless at the moment, to kill him now would be a stain on our
souls."<BR>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Kiet just looks at Arawn with a look that says
"yeah...righhhht"...and then says out loud "Killing him wouldn't stain my
soul. He gambled and attacked us, lost, and forfeited his life. I
just don't think it wise to leave him lying dead here. I certainly
wouldn't object to him just going away, but I also wouldn't be disappointed if
his lifeless body disappeared. He attacked us with the intent to have us
killed and, in my mind, unfairly so...just because many of us have certain, er,
skills."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>"Dead, he'll never bother us again. Alive, even far
from here, he and his allies might someday return to plague us. The dead
rarely muster up enough energy to be vengeful."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>"But I also know I am in the minority about this...which
continues to amaze me."</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
