The Story
"OUTRAGE!!!"
Jan-Piet's booming voice sounded through the halls of the Society, followed by an echoing roar, obviously Dolores. Pinkerton had assembled many of the strongest fighters among the Explorers in his office. This is where he had told them about the International Peace Day, and that the Society would observe it by not using any violence on their current expeditions. While Pinkerton tried to keep Dolores from breaking a precious globe, Molly started a steady but intense stream of curse words, for which he would normally ban her from the club for at least a month. But the chairman understood these explorers' emotions. They had joined the Society, or were even asked to do so, to do great things with their talents. These fine people's talents just happened to be hitting people on the head, and for a large part that was very important, but this time it had to be different.
"Dear Explorers, I know I my advice is always to play your strengths, in all your cases quite literally, but please remain aware of the fact that violence always has a loser. Often not even winners. Use it to save your lives or escape from dreadful situations, or use it perhaps in a rare case to secure a precious artefact. But never use it lightly. Now, I won't judge you, as I've been known to throw a unnecessary punch myself in my younger days..." this remark made Bia's right eyebrow lift. "...but on a day such as this we should send a message to the world that peace is something worth striving for. And it's worth making our individual lives harder or even to change our ways entirely. I ask you all to find your other strengths. Do yourself and the Society proud, and choose the challenging path of peace.
