LAST EDITED ON Aug-10-01 AT 05:29 PM (EDT)

Only two were being made today, and the second would cause no
little bit of controversy: it would mark the first time in
Salusia's long history that an automaton was sworn in as a
Knight-Defender.

This brings in a couple of questions;

What's ED's status under Touring III?

Isn't a Knight-Defender supposed to train and maintain
a cadre of "Squires," and small army of "Men at Arms"
for use in defense of the throne?

What is ED's Coat of Arms?

--
Wha-CHUNK.
The sound of the safety interlocks in ED-209/A1's autocannons
snapping out of battery instantly commanded everyone's attention.
"Thank you," said Ed, and he opened fire.
