In Paris, my brothers and I fought for a republic that has, from what I am told -- now come. Our lives were given to that cause and for that cause; for a day when all the people of the world were to be equal, free, and peaceful. We fought to remove power from the hands of the tyrants and place it in the hands of men who would live as brothers, as they are meant to. That may have come to pass. It may have not. I know there are many on this ship who are from different worlds.

If it has not -- in a place such as this, what does one do? Does he continue the fight? There is nothing to barricade with; there are kings but they do not hold power. My future is uncertain, I mislike it. I need something to do with myself.

I have studied law. I had not yet passed the bar at home, I would have taken it again in the end of June. I am well-versed in various political philosophies and writing articles, speeches, pamphlets, that sort of thing. I am also proficient in canne de combat and various firearms. What might I do here? Assistance would be gratefully appreciated.

This also begs the question of how do we determine whether or not it has here, does it not? How might we determine which world we have come from? Albert and I were discussing the idea that some type of cause may yet present itself here. I know that is not much help to you at the moment, but it is something that has been on my mind too, is, I suppose, the best way to put that.

If it has not, I am not certain what we should do here. We could not return to Paris, our Paris at least, and hope to do much for the republic so that is not a course of action that we could plan work for either.

...I should not have just typed that and have no idea how I might strike it out, my apologies. I know that you know all of this already, Lucien, I am just attempting to reason it out a it, to try and discover something. Perhaps they may have need of lawyers in the future here, as more people arrive and misunderstandings happen? It does not sound like much and it is not yet...

The other idea is to find a need, as you have started asking about, for something on this ship, and to work towards fulfilling it. The ship has so many resources but there may be something along these lines that we may still be able to fill.

I wish that I knew more to help with this.

I do not know. There is no legal system here that I have seen.

I ...I am lost, I fear.

I wish that I could offer something insightful, but I am still unsure of everything myself.

Your statement does beg the question of who is in charge here, and what the purpose of such a ship is. I am uncertain as to the society we now find ourselves in, but as their seems to be structure and order, I do wonder after the form of government here. Perhaps some agreed-upon leader will seek you out and inform you? If not, I cannot doubt your ability to figure out these mysteries all the same.

If there is a such fight to be continued... it may make itself known. If not, and we are all free and equal men, perhaps you might be able to continue your studies?

There's so much to learn. I'm afraid I'm not of any real help.

There are -- not captains. Former members of the ship staff, I believe.

I am relatively certain that law has changed quite a bit. Who is to say what year we are even in?

Hello! Albert here.

It's hard to keep busy here, isn't it? Have you thought about maybe trying something outside what you already know? Maybe something you've always thought you'd try but never had the time for it before! Ah, for example-- one of my friends here is teaching me how to cook! Since I've never had the opportunity to learn, and I thought it would be a good idea to become self-sufficient.

Or, if you'd like, I'd be happy to help you keep your combat skills sharp. I've only been trained in the classical style of fencing, but I don't think it would be too different to use a cane, am I right?

[untamedantinous]

I devoted the past eight years to this. I cannot give it up so easily.

It is similar to fencing. I shall teach you if you like, though I cannot promise patience.

It sounds like you might be a good fit for the Gunnery team, actually. Have you spoken with Jim Kirk yet? I think he's head of the department, so he would know better than me. But. It seems like, while Security is sort of like a police force, Gunnery is more about.. planning, in crisis situations. I would think leading a revolution puts you at the top of the qualification list.

[ okay so no, she doesn't know if he "LEAD" the revolution, but he was involved enough for her to figure he knows what he's doing. plus, firearms. she's taking a shot in the dark, in a way, but she's mostly just doing it because she knows how much is sucks feeling idle for too long. ]

I have not met the gentleman in question. How might I contact him, do you know?

I did not precisely lead it, mademoiselle. I lead a small group of my friends at the barricades, but there were several barricades.

[tofindthesun]

He begins a new fight for those who are estranged here with him, those he cares for, or will come to care for. Though how he fights will be his own choice to make.

[brief pause.]

..You might instruct others in combat, or firearms. I do not know of much else, but-- have you thought about the Security team?

voice.

[untamedantinous]

That is so, I suppose. One may fight for peace and freedom just as easily here, though it is difficult to gauge who is an enemy and who is not.

[He sounds a little distant, but at least he's agreeable enough. ....Until the last question, to which his voice sharpens.]

I have not. It would seem to be rather counter-productive, I do not get along well with police officers. [Or their spies. But he's leaving that bit out.]

[thebreakingwave]

I don't know what I could offer in return, but I'd really like to know more about the law and how it works. Or, I guess, whatever you think would be good to know.

[untamedantinous]

I am afraid I only know of French law up to the year 1832. Natural law, of course, is something entirely different. I might speak equally well on both, but I cannot promise overmuch patience if you wish to learn.

[ploughing]

Equal, free and peaceful. And admirable goal, but not often completely attainable for long periods of time, realistically. In two thousand years, history has never known it in the world I'm from. Even in a closed community like the Tranquility, man is still man, and utopia is still an ideal. [ And maybe talking about how there are probably one or two people here willing to go tyrannical isn't a great idea, so he's just going to try to stay on the topic of what homeslice here can do with himself. ]

If defending the innocent is something that fulfills you, I've heard there's a security team. Speak with Tyke.

[untamedantinous]

Even so, I am firm in my beliefs. There will come a day when men will put down their ploughshares, their weapons, and we shall all be free. Not just France, though I love her dearly; but the world. It is simply a matter of time; though soometimes it may be forced.

Thank you.

learn how to fire a gun, make close ties with people who'll watch your back. physically and mentally. and then keep moving forward even when nothing seems like its working

no matter what happens.

we gotta keep fighting it.

[untamedantinous]

I know how to fire a gun. As for the second, my brothers from home are here, and they will surely do that for me as I will do so for them.

Fighting what?

[unparental]

That depends. If you want to keep fighting? Maybe Gunnery, Security.

[ a beat ]

Or you could try something more like those pamphlets-- try Nathan and Comms.

[untamedantinous]

Thank you for the advice, mademoiselle.

I do not think this ship is in need of revolutionary rhetoric at the moment, however.

[undercovergirl]

You already know that I think you should join Security.

But, if you want to take an unconventional route, maybe you can start some kind of club of your own — talk about progress, strategy. There's already a fight club, too, for hand-to-hand improvement and recreation.

[untamedantinous]

Perhaps. That is much like the Amis were at home. It would feel rather ...odd, to do so here, but it might be done.

I'm not really sure if it's your "thing," but i'm starting a music club!!

[ rachel no. ]

[untamedantinous]

...Mademoiselle, I have told you both of the songs I am most familiar with. I do not have much interest at all in a music club, but I shall pass word along to my brothers if you wish it.

They are of a more artistic temperament than I.

I've been told it's inadvisable to begin a revolution in close quarters.

Are you alright?

[Text // Private // Unhackable]

[untamedantinous]

You are the only proper lawyer I know here, aside from M. Edgeworth. Someone mentioned drafting a legal system aboard this vessel. Would it be feasible? I would welcome your thoughts.

I am fine, Pontmercy.

[ringbearer]

As my dear friend told me, there is still good to be found even in places such as this, and they are worth the continued fight. There is enough bad here as is.

On fighting, I don't think I'd be much help to you, Enjolras. I cannot say I wield my sword much better than a child might.

voice;

[untamedantinous]

I cannot say I know much of swordplay. A few of my brothers might, if you ever have interest in learning.
