Another Teaser from Chapter Four

[Bob Schroeck]

Which is why he goes over the ramifications of the oath and what it means, long-term, with her. (And, from a story architecture point of view, lays the groundwork for a different Crystal Tokyo from that in canon.)

EDIT:

Never been much of a fan of this kind of oaths. They make too many assumptions and give too few details, which is where the devil is always in. I mean, as it is written I could use this oath to justify bombing abortion clinics...

Which is one reason why the Warriors' mandate limits their sanctioned activity to conflicts between nations or nations and extranational/non-governmental organizations. Outside of low-level local crimefighting (which we indulge in for both relaxation and P.R. purposes), the Warriors are forbidden to interfere in the internal affairs of individual nations. We're supposed to be apolitical, as much as humanly possible.
