Challenge of Bill 95
Bill 95 is currently presented in the current form:
I would like to dispute points 1 and 3.
I don't expect someone outside the Empire to receive a nekovalkyrja body unless she were born nekovalkyrja youngling. But it makes sense to otherwise not offer it to non-citizens.
Also, the nekovalkyrja as a species is not so exceptional and important that it needs be so stringently enforced to remain within the empire, on pain of death should a nekovalkyrja leave without returning her body. From what I understand, other nations are not very impressed with us or desirous of emulating us.
Fact is that if I had a compelling enough reason to leave, I would not return my body - because it is mine and part of who I am. I would become a criminal in your eyes, be on the run, forever fear Yamatai as an enemy. I would never dare return and consider that place home again.
It is not because you put a law interdicting something that people will not defy it if they feel they have enough on the line to risk it. Is it truly a good idea to force the issue this way?
To me, it seems extremely counter-intuitive on the part of the government. If Yamatai wants to retain her nekovalkyrja, she should take steps in making Yamatai more appealing to the nekovalkyrja than anywhere else. This is positive reinforcement rather than restriction; isn't this what we have tried to reinforce so far with the image of our Empire since Empress Himiko was appointed to the Imperial Throne?
Also, I view this measure as largely redundant.
Past nekovalkyrja bodies are out of date regarding access to sensitive information to our military networks, and nother nations have analogs to the roles they could play, or the capacity to create thier own equivalents.
In that same vein of thought, the NH-33's features along with any special variant implemented will wear off with time.
Making a big deal about relinquishing when it's not that much worth getting into seems like an excuse of make a big deal of things that, if left alone, would have had sorted themselves out on thier own."
