minus-squaresp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down1·edit-211 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.
