When Fortiss prepped for his next duty shift,
Which, though the day had come to change on Earth,
Was still the night on Perurere F,
A man of greater rank did beckon him
And out in open air proceeded to
Call Fortiss out on the carpet
For “acting out of his jurisdiction”
And threat’ning to rescind all his honors.
Brave Fortiss merely hoarded his resolve
And in defiance answered th’officer:
“I see the syndicates have got to you,
And much it saddens me to see of this,
But I am here to do what I have sworn:
Protect and to uphold the coded laws,
Ensure domestic tranquility, and
finally, deal with evil criminals.
If that means you, O sir, lose whatever
Small, cushy benefits the gangs kick back
To you, then so be it; but I shall not
Rescind my stated goal: To them attack.”
