Was William Adams, the first English samurai, a major historical figure in this world? Ed makes a mental note to look up its history of Japanese-English contact later. "Rest assured that I will not. I don't like bladed weapons." Swords are like guns — made for killing, not for incapacitation or defense, and too easily turned against the wielder.
"And I most certainly am not. Either the propaganda is true and nothing can be done about their arrival, in which case there are few ethical solutions, or imPorts are victims of kidnapping, experimentation, and coercion, in which case the only ethical solution is to ally with them against their captors. It's simple logic — which, if these anti-imPort protestors have any, means that they're willing to publicly state their desire to murder people who wanted nothing to do with the situation in the first place." It's a stomach-turning thought, reminiscent of the reactionary insularity that presaged wholesale genocide in his home world.
