I was sitting here talking with a friend of mine (Wyrm, Jeremy says
"Hi!") about the Knight Sabre Code. He asked what would have happened
if Nene had turned down Sylia/Celia's offer when she deciphered it. I
said that Nene would probably be toast. He wondered aloud if there were
any other women that Sylia/Celia petitioned to join, and the applicant
turned her down, and Sylia/Celia killed her. I put forth, what if she
missed one, and that one woman came back.
Aw, man . . . I'm practically working on this idea already! One of the
projects that was in progress on my disk that went missing hinged, at
least partly, on the idea of a potential Knight Saber coming back - except
that I consider the situation very differently.
My position is that Sylia didn't approach *anyone* about the Knight Sabers
until she was nearly certain. The one person who found out about the
Sabers without becoming directly involved herself was sworn to secrecy;
only when she desperately needs the Sabers' help does she even contact
Sylia.
I don't think Sylia's a cold-blooded killer, like your idea would sort of
require . . .
