[Coincidentally enough, he's already had to make that sort of choice here, so he doesn't even need to think very much about his answer.]
I have already dealt with such a criminal here and I gave him a warning to stay out of Nova City. I did not kill him, even though it was well within my power. His crimes are not yet of this world but I intend to keep an eye on him.
So I can agree to those conditions. Any who have broken the laws will be brought to the appropriate people to be dealt with as your laws see fit.
[If he's being attacked though of course he'll also defend himself - and he doesn't mention his temper - but he can follow these sorts of orders when he has to. Bring them in alive.]
[ It helps that they can call the robotic police force for back-up, which means there's camera footage when they're around, so if he needs to defend himself she's not worried about that with that sort of attitude. ]
I suppose that answers whether or not you understand that criminals are not criminals until they've broken the law here. Are you willing to work with former criminals?
[ ..Just something to check, considering one of her deputies. ]
If you are giving them a second chance at redemption, then so shall I.
[He understands enough that things are different here than how it is for anyone back in their respective homeworlds. Their actions here should be taken into account instead of dwelling on their past. Although, he will still have his grudges against any more Jedi that arrive here - as with Obi-Wan, he will try to restrain and restrict himself to warnings unless they start a fight with him themselves.]
Have you ever had to work with someone that you don't get along with? How did you solve disagreements with them?
[ She's mostly thinking about Mercury. She's not sure anyone really gets along with Mercury, and she'd prefer no one breaks the office furniture trying to kill each other in the Skyrise.
..but honestly, Satsuki can be incredibly judgy, and Jaune's kind of a mess most days, and Garrus is a pain in her ass personally so it's just best to check. ]
Many. But if we have a mutual goal to accomplish any personal disagreements can be put aside.
I did not agree with all the politics on either side of an ongoing war but I did not argue with my master over it. While all of our ideas did not match up, we had other mutually beneficial goals to achieve.
The goal here is the protection of the city and its inhabitants and so that must be the focus, leaving aside any other differences that may arise.
There was also an incident here upon my arrival. One of the deputies - a Jaune Arc I believe was the name - was very disrespectful to me but we did come to an understanding after we had a meeting in person.
[ That's good. It's a start. She's sure it'll work out. If not, they'll fight it out and work through it. She tilts her head. ]
That's fair. I didn't get along with Jaune for a long time because he kept ignoring my requests to cease certain.. behaviors, but he's gotten better since. I also didn't get along with..
[ She trails off. ] Well, what's important is arguments lead to greater understanding. [ HER ENTIRE FUCKING TEAM. BOTH HOME AND HERE... whatever they got over it and so did she. ] Moving along, do you have any particular species, social class, abilities, religions, or any other types of people you hold bias against or toward?
[ it's a question she has to ask. She's had her own biases in the past against Faunus and even telepaths, but more than that, Fayren, Nova City, and Everglade have all faced discrimination problems of their own sort. Weiss doesn't want that leaking into her team, and even if he lies, it'd mean he was hired under false pretenses if that was the case. she's at least guessing cyborgs won't be an issue but she doesn't want surprises. ]
There are perhaps two but I can give you good reasons to be wary and alert to their presence.
The Huk are a race of insect-like sentient beings but make no mistake that all they want is war and to enslave as many planets as they can get their claws on. Thankfully, I have seen no trace of them here.
The other is the Jedi.
[There is extra venom when he says that word. It's clearly very distasteful to him.]
There is but one of them currently in the city. As I mentioned before I have already given him a warning. They are dangerous creatures, thinking themselves better than others and judging without finding out all the facts. I know how to deal with them, should any more arrive.
[ great. They don't sound like great people from the way he's explaining them but also enslaving planets is a bad thing. ]
Huk it sounds like you have fair reason to be wary of in large numbers, but from the sounds of it you're judging all of these "jedi" whatever they are before finding out their individual opinions, aren't you?
[ She just wants to see what he thinks about that. If he's willing to be flexible, to move forward.. If not, it's something they can work on, or at least by aware of what a jedi is and find out more. ]
[So it's personal, even before the Sith tampered with his mind to enhance his hatred of the Jedi. That's something that eventually may be discovered here, once he goes to some medical staff. His brain has had some negative adjustments - quite against his wishes.]
They never came to us. They merely believed the Huk's lies and made my world suffer as a result. The Jedi follow their own set of arrogant rules and prey on the weak minded to force their own will and agendas.
If there are Jedi that do not do so, I have yet to meet them.
[But implying that maybe it was a possibility and he would deal with them accordingly, if they turned up in Genessia.]
[ Anyone who elects to punch first, ask questions later is definitely not someone that Weiss would tend toward siding with, so it's good to know. Especially if they prey on people who can't defend themselves. She'll reserve judgment until she meets one herself and remember that not all of anyone is the same. ]
I can promise you they won't be preying on anyone here if that's true. "Weak-minded" isn't something anyone's ever called me.
[ So at the very least, the lead protector is confident that won't be an issue. ]
Just bare in mind that for any and all crimes, we do require untainted evidence to prosecute beyond hearsay. It's not the easiest thing to do all the time, but it's important to protect the rights of everyone regardless of what we think of them as well as physically protect people. I can't blame you for holding a grudge, particularly since I don't have all the details from both sides of the story, so for now I don't think this will be an issue as long as you swear to treat everyone fairly under the law.
[ She pauses for a moment, then allows her hands to settle in her lap. ]
I'll discuss it with my other deputies first, but if you agree to that, I think you're a good candidate.
