mutiny

For real men serve their country with random acts of kindness, not vicious acts of violence. And real soldiers have one duty, and one duty only; they have a duty to mutiny!

You help us, they__l lock you up for the rest of your life.

The last week hadn__ been any better, come to think of it. On Monday they arrived at Gorda, just to find that the cargo of electronics he was to ship to Beowulf had been taken by another freighter for a lower fee. It took him until Wednesday before he found another cargo _ which had to reach Earth by Saturday. The last straw was when his crew mutinied a day out of the Hermes system and demanded a pay increase. The union tended to call that sort of thing __ollective bargaining_, not actually mutiny, but hey _ the results are the same. He tended to favor the term __iracy_, but this wasn__ the high seas and out here, there were real pirates to worry about. His former crew had also wanted more time off and a better cook _ at least one who knew how which end of a frying pan to hold. He was unable to comply, and so was forced to stop at Beowulf anyway. That was the last time he saw them. Fortunately for him, Weaver, Fuller and Jang opted to stay with him. Whether it was out of loyalty, or perhaps just convenience, he never knew.

Such is a communityof inviolable immunity, protectedfrom tampering or harpooningmutiny. Every better thinker__ impulse to shrink us (at the shoreline from our lifeblood__ deep pulse) uses disparaging scrutiny to sink us.

If a ruler who wants to act honourably is surrounded by unscrupulous men, his downfall is inevitable.
