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.

	Heh.  the problem here is that Sylia never demonstrates that kind of
resolve.  On numerous occasions the Knight Sabers violate the code,
sometimes very flagrantly, and she does nothing about it.  Indeed, she
even participates in such violations.  Personally, I don't think Sylia
is hardened enough to do it, though she tries very hard to look like she
is.

	As for the method of recruiting Nene that is shown in the "Asu E
Touchdown" video . . . it is, to say the least, highly problematic.  I
am not inclined to believe that Sylia is that stupid.  And yet, it is
hard to argue with, because there it is . . . either you accept it or
you don't, but since it's the only real background info on the Knight
Sabers we have . . . what do you do?

	Of course, these are just my opinions, but I like to think that they
are well-thought-out ones.  Any other views on the subject?

Well, I agree that Sylia isn't that stupid. She knew Nene would take it.
But, even if it was a little OOC, wouldn't it be nice to wonder what would
happen to Nene if she turned it down? <Prays for no violent deaths of cute
red-headed hacker girls>
