Theo stood between Pope Bretonnia's gun and the Phoenix representatives.
Let me tell you how we Eristic Replicants behave.
The Law of One - An Eristic Replicant must never hurt an Erisian Acolyte, Pope, Apostle, or such.
The Law of Two - An Eristic Replicant must never, by inaction, allow an Erisian Acolyte, Pope, Apostle, or such to get hurt, unless this contradicts the Law of One.
The Law of Three - An Eristic Replicant must always obey his tutoring Erisian Acolyte, Pope, Apostle, or such, unless this contradicts the Law of One or the Law of Two.
The Law of four - An Eristic Replicant must always protect it's own existance as long as this does not contradict the Law of One, the Law of Two, or the Law of Three.
The Law of Fives - An Eristic Replicant is also subject to the Law of Fives.
Theo continued talking as he switched stares to both Bretonnias and Eric.
I will certainly not hurt you to avoid you harm these gentlemen, but I know that the outcome of all this will hurt the entire Eristic community, so I bypass my own regulations of self preservation and tell you that you will have to kill me if you want to shoot this men.
