Team Evolution is not terribly popular in the city, and so the Council saw fit to grant them guards. Sword of the Savior guards. So you have Manfred (and several others) following them around at a discrete distance, making sure no one throws rocks at the new visitors. He doesn't look terribly happy about it, but judging by the bloodshot eyes, that may have less to do with wanting the throw a rock himself and more with being hungover.

Later that evening, after he was off duty and devested of armor in the Swords Barracks, he made a post.

I dunno, after all the fuss on warp band channels, I thought they'd have glowing red eyes and scales. Maybe a smell of brimstone. Team Evolution looks like it's made of regular folk to me. Maybe we should cut them a little slack.

Who's saying that?

[giantprince]

A bunch of people. They're talking about magic balls and forced evolution and stuff. Theology has never been my strong point, so I'm not taking too much of it to heart.

[makeitquick]

Meant who you are, and working for. Just so I can hear out who's saying that.

I'm not taking it to heart either, and I'm trying to give them benefit of the doubt.

[giantprince]

Oh. Manfred. Swords of the Savior.

[ Eww, Swords... her big sister and all... ]

It's fine if we don't like them. I'm more worried this will end up as a completely missed opportunity, just because of some minor difference in values. Here we are, having gotten in touch with another splinter of human civilization, and nobody sees the big picture behind it.

[giantprince]

I'm more worried about people trying to mob them while I'm on duty.

[eggsellence]

Oh. So you're a City Guard, are you. I'm sure you'll be wanting to ask for a raise soon enough.

[giantprince]

Sword of the Savior. Much more elite.

[No comment about the raise.]

[eggsellence]

[Oh. That group. Robotnik's reply comes a little late.]

You know, a person might say that your stance on the evolution team is surprisingly... rational. For an SotS member.

[giantprince]

All I'm saying is if you're going to mob them, I'd prefer if it wasn't while it was my job to keep them unmobbed.

[eggsellence]

There's an old saying in my family: the more you wish, the less it'll happen. It has to do with acting on what you want, but in this case, I'd take it as is.

[niepokonany]

red eyes and scales I can deal w/
