minus-squaresp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down1·edit-22 days agoA warrior’s face is the same, regardless of whether or not they chose to be in the situation they are in. ‘Willing’ implies choice, including the choice to be a coward. Battles imply constraints and conditions you cannot change, combat proficiency implies adaptability to any situation. The Yautja force the scenario, as a test. Being granted the second test is itself an honor. You were worth their time, their considerstion. You passed round one, which is … significantly uncommon. To them, they’ve granted you the privilege of knowing that cowardice, flight, is not an option: You must fight. This makes the battle strategically simpler, for you, as a courtesy. If this sounds inhuman… welcome to Comparative XenoEthics 101. If you cancel the class, you’re expelled, if you fail, you’re expelled. And if you even think about dropping the class: I can see the internal ongoing processes in your brain, in realtime. Do not trifle.
