I'd look at my Triax Calender with the centerfold picture of Erin Tarn. Double Check. Then assume the old woman was her Grandmother, not the infamous beautiful woman in my Triax books. ;) 8)

I would also make it clear to HQ that I DON'T want the fame and for them to NOT mention my name as the person who captured her. Last thing I want after her execution is for all her vengeance seeking allies to take out their anger on the poor soldier (me) who brought her in.



Great plan until you get Court Martialled for going AWHOL :lol:

See by just blasting her you can make up some lame excuse(She was a witch!) and while you might be on latrine duty for a few months, atleast you're not sitting in a CS Prison.

Besides I'm sure the PA department would spin it so that you were a Hero of the Coalition!

Ya, I'm sure that would be a fair trial.

Will she be found guilty? Absolutely, Erins so stupid she'd admit to her crimes, she'd probably give a two hour lecture on the 'Evils of the CS and how Karl is the most evil man in the world!' complete with huffy voice and stomping her feet.

At that point the trail is pretty much just a formality.

Will she then be executed? Absolutely. she'll go to the gallows telling everyone how 'evil, twisted, and stoopidz' they are.

And justice will be served. :lol:

Apparently the definition of illiterate has been softened for the CS to mean "I don't read good" so even if you're illiterate, you can still read at a "primary school level", whatever that means.

I don't care about canon answers. I'm interested in good, well-reasoned answers and, perhaps, a short discussion of how that answer is supported or contradicted by canon.

If I don't provide a book and page number, then don't assume that I'm describing canon. I'll tell you if I'm describing canon.

I let her go because the old white haired human lady clearly isn't Erin Tarn. Where are her horns and tail? Why isn't she summoning demons or making head's explade with her infernal power? She clearly is just an old woman with dementia who thinks she's Erin Tarn. No way I'm taking her to my commanding officer just to get chewed out for harassing some poor old woman. I made that mistake once before and I still have the bruises.



To Quote from the Malfas Malicieum,

'Trust not your eyes when dealing with the witch, for they will deceive you. Trust not your thoughts, for a witch can alter them as she see's fit.
Trust only in your weapons, and unleash them without delay. Suffer not a Witch to Live!'


And thus in their blindness they really miss that big plot hole that if a witch can change your thoughts wouldn't she make sure you never thought her a witch, and only a powerless innocent could be thought a witch because a witch would never let you think them a witch?

Of course once you start demonizing people (like Erin) common sense and logic fail, although I love that reasoning that it can't be the real Erin because the demonizing has ascribed power enough to her that some powerless old woman couldn't possibly be thought to be her. The backfiring that can come from going too far in your demonizing of a target.
Fair warning: I consider being called a munchkin a highly offensive slur and do report people when they err in doing so.

'Reality is very disappointing.' - Jonathan Switcher from Mannequin

It's 'canon', not 'cannon'. A cannon is a big gun like on pirate ships, canon is what you mean when referring to something as being contained within one of the books such as how many dice to roll for a stat.
