Challenge #03876-J224: Alive and Unharmed

I read your story and I could not help but grin at the comments. Could you elaborate from them?

"Bring them in ALIVE, understand?"

"Whole?"

"They need to be alive to stand trial."

"We promise the prisoner will be very much alive, and will be able to be made healthy enough to stand trial."

"Remember ALIVE means their BODY also has to remain alive, as well as the brain!"

"Don't worry, we promise they will be very much physically and mentally alive so they can be made healthy enough to stand trial."

I can just imagine this being on recording to remind the team their target is to remain ALIVE, mostly. And the target's face when they finally corner him.

"Can you please stop singing?" Zhetilli begged. Though the Alliance guaranteed certain amenities, others were up to the whims of her captors. If she hadn't already suffered a week of it, she might have thought herself lucky that it was only singing.

"I could always start removing your phalanges. Bone by bone," offered Urd. His smile reminded Zhetilli that these were, indeed, the most violently inclined Humans known to humanity.

"I'll... put on the headphones and watch some educational material," said Zhitelli, purposely choosing a place with some furniture between her and the Deathworlder.

Urd continued humming, but now he was playing with a butterfly knife in a meaningful way.

Challenge #03868-J216: Live With Me?

Jay proposes marriage to Lilicoon? -- Anon Guest

"Independent living kind of terrifies me," she confessed, crochetting yet another square for community purposes. It was a form of therapy for her newer hands that had become a kind of nervous habit. "I know there's a community surrounding me, and people coming by to help, but... not having anyone there? With me? It sounds... lonely."

"I could cohabit? It'd mean an on-duty guard or... you could come to the sanctuary world. I'm okay

Challenge #03863-J211: Lucky They Were There

The child stood in the hall screaming high and shrill red-faced. Jay and Lilicoon find the child and get them to some help. Why is the child screaming? The place was very, very, crowded, and they'd lost track of the parents. -- The New Guy

It was too loud thanks to a fault in the nearest air circulation fans. They created a shrieking din so cacophonous that it was hard to hear oneself think. The local engineers were working on it, but

The Pax Humanis members find where he is hiding. A few knocks, then a small bang, the door is now wide open. Don't worry, you'll live through this. You won't WANT to, but you will. After all, we have our orders. And we promised our bosses.

Humans are insane. Humans are dangerous. Humans are deadly. Under the right circumstances, Humans can alter fate, change your life, and defy the odds against them. Sometimes,

Mr Sunshine finds that his usual ... escorts, are around less and less often. And if he looks at his file, he's cleared to interact with kids, at least in public.

Some psychopathic, sociopathic murderers have moral standards. It surprises everyone to know this. Most of them have a better moral structure than your average Deregger CEO[1]. Or, for that matter, the people who support them into power.

Mr Sunshine found himself examining

Challenge #03842-J190: Agent of Restraint

If you want someone dead, you send out Pax Humanis. You want someone captured alive, you send someone like me to join the Pax Humanis member. I have one job, to remind them that the target is to be brought in alive. Most of the very experienced members have learned enough to avoid killing targets when need be, but, well, sometimes the younger ones need reminders. -- Anon Guest

My name is Maan, and I'm a Leash. Not 'leech' like so many

Challenge #03812-J160: That One Place

Fights constantly broke out at this bar, but the man in the red, yellow, and black chevron tattoos down his arms was left strictly alone. -- Anon Guest

The sign out front named the establishment the Brawl Inn. The mandatory Standard Language prefixes for food, drink, and rest stood in front, declaring that all three were available within.

There's always a fight going on in there. It's one of the reasons why the plates and drinking vessels were metal. It's among the

I have often wondered. Individuals that birth children who are Pax Humanis members. Do they get to raise their own children, or is that a case by case situation? -- Anon Guest

Els tried hard not to panic. Deep breaths Just because her child Aed had tested low on empathy was not the end of the world. There were still things that could be done. Courses they could take.

Educator Kam seemed to read Els' thoughts. "Just because they tested low does

They flinched away any time someone came close to talk. They kept to themselves, eyes down, shoulders slumped. But when someone took a swing at Mr. Sunshine, before he could react, they were all over the person, beating them to a pulp in defense of the man. -- Anon Guest

People become members of Pax Humanis because they are dangerous, and can't otherwise prevent that danger. They're kept apart in safe environments, receive therapy, and are supervised to be sure their danger

"I will be honest with you. Pax Humanis is coming to haul you to court, your chances of escape are slim. What, they're sending a Humanis member that's a lucker? Turn yourself in, now, and spare yourself the pain. Your chances just became none." -- Fighting Fit

Humans are, possibly, the strangest Deathworlders known to intelligent life. Those weird little apes had a rough evolutionary path. They almost went extinct several times, and for at least one of those, it was self-induced.

Challenge #03672-J019: A Wolf With Honour

I am a member of Pax Humanis. I have sworn my very life, my SOUL, to this Havenworlder and their family. I will protect them for as long as I can draw breath. They saved my beloved family, they saved my children, anyone that touches them, or my family, will pray that death finds them before I do. -- The New Guy

Once upon a time, a Human decided that it was a good idea to throw food to a wolf. Eventually,

Challenge #03649-I361: A Very Painful Lesson

Yes I'm insane, yes, I am a killer, but I'm really a nice person once you get to know me. It's pretty simple, be polite, be honest, don't break your promises, and treat people with dignity, and we'll get along just fine. Otherwise.... well, I don't kill right away, I first teach a few lessons and let people go. The ones that don't learn? Well, don't cry for them. I did give them a chance. -- Anon Guest

Challenge #03645-I357: The Scars Unseen

They were of Pax Humanis, due to their love of making people who hurt the innocent pay in blood, but had severe PTSD. Their night terrors were such they had stopped sleeping with a knife nearby, lest they do themselves harm, much less anyone else. Fortunately, they have a close friend to try to help them through these terrors, so they can get on with the business of living, and saving other lives. -- DaniAndShali

[AN: PTSD is not an automatic ticket

Challenge #03621-I333: Time Enough and Luck

The rather... unhappy Pax Humanis members, after letting the officially diagnosed lucker depart in peace with their winnings, which was legally gotten since the person didn't KNOW they were a lucker until now and, therefore, had not been breaking any rules, went to find the casino owner and teach them a lesson about judging others the wrong way. And about trying to get innocent people harmed.

Challenge #03610-I322: Safety is Guaranteed

A person once asked, on a sanctuary planet full of predators, and a town full of therapists and other staff that live there as potential "prey", what stops the worst of these predators going after the innocents within those towns, and deliberately doing... well, what got them "recruited" into Pax Humanis in the first place? -- Anon Guest

People who hear about Pax Humanis Sanctuary Planets always get the wrong idea. They think it's a zoo of sorts for the most criminal
