Jupiter, Mars. Come, boys.
6:58:25
Come.
6:58:30
My good boys. My brave boys.
You seem to be well-fed.

6:58:36
I thank you for that.
6:58:37
I'm afraid I don't know your name.
6:58:40
I'm a colonel in the Continental Army.
My rank should be sufficient for now.

6:58:45
As you wish.
6:58:48
Please be seated.
6:58:49
Thank you.
6:58:52
Would you, as the initiating officer,
care to begin?

6:58:56
I will, unless you'd like to
claim aggrieved status.

6:58:59
Yes, I would like to claim
aggrieved status.

6:59:02
Very well, sir. Proceed.
6:59:04
You have in your possession belongings
of mine including clothing...

6:59:09
...furniture, personal effects
of a non-military nature...

6:59:13
...which I'd like returned to me.
6:59:15
Indeed. I will do so
as soon as possible.

6:59:20
Thank you.
6:59:21
Now we come to the matter
of the specific targeting...

6:59:25
...of officers during engagements.
6:59:27
You must know that in civilized
warfare, officers in the field...

6:59:30
...must not be accorded inappropriate
levels of hostile attention.

6:59:36
To your mind, what are appropriate
levels of hostile attention?

6:59:39
Imagine the chaos that would follow...
6:59:42
...from leaderless armies
having at each other.

6:59:46
There must be gentlemen in command
to lead...

6:59:49
...and, where necessary,
restrain their men.

6:59:53
Restrain them from, say, targeting
civilians. Women, children and such.
