The idea that parahumans are forbidden by regulation from joining the PRT is fanon. (And, indeed, I doubt very much they were, at least officially; while the de-facto purpose of the PRT may have been to keep parahumans under the supervision of normal people, and I doubt any known parahuman ever actually rose to command rank, having a law enforcement agency which the population it was in charge of policing was explicitly barred from joining would not go over well.) We also know that the Protectorate wasn't the only option for parahumans in the PRT (citation part 1, part 2); one explicitly named alternative was Watchdog.
Actually, I'm pretty sure it stands for 'Code'. 'Uniform Code of Military Justice' is acronymmed as 'UCMJ'.
Citation?
How exactly are you defining 'civilian' here? Because the PRT are 'civilian' in the same way that the FBI are.
Don't forget the mind-affecting bit of the Dark Lord's soul he spent days wearing around his neck.
Um, this is a Worm fanfic. Ron is unlikely to appear.
In the PRT documents WB drew up, they are equal but seperate agencies, with congressional oversight. Neither of them is in charge of the other.
Both agencies are federally mandated groups with international law enforcement powers and congressional oversight, based, according to WB, on the US military.
You can use a version of this if the event ever comes up in 'For The Honor Of The Regiment'. I mean there Taylor's already blowing cape heads apart.Had a bad Worm flashback
While I agree with the sentiment, I think you have the wrong fic.
Don't be silly. It would be π shakes of a lamb's tail; precision is important if we're to avoid crashing the ship on Mars due to rounding and conversion errors*.
But not in Brokton, that would totally invalidate their experiment.Normals rising up and kill all villains is a valid result to Cauldron is gone.
On what are you basing this? Given the name is obviously modelled on 'UCMJ' and takes the same place in the oath of service, the most likely expansion for the 'C' is simply 'code'. After all, you can't swear to obey 'the Parahuman Response Team Criminal Justice', because 'a justice' is a type of judge.
Source? There are a couple of places in the Worm wiki which describe the Protectorate as something like that - as an independent organization which has agreed to obey the PRTCJ and accept oversight in exchange for governmental funding and legitimization, but which isn't really a branch of the government in itself - but nothing with a citation and nothing whatsoever that describes the PRT itself that way.
...I am conflicted. I want this to be expanded to a full fic, but adding another fic to mppi's library would mean a delay for more Kenny wordz"You are under arrest for murder with a Parahuman power, Villain!"
"No I'm not."
"What... Of course you are! By the powers granted to me by the federal government, I am placing you under arrest!"
"For what?"
"I just told you! Murder exacerbated by a Parahuman power. Kaiser is dead over there, and we have witnesses that say you did it."
"I did do it, yes."
"AHA! Condemned out of your own mouth, miscreant! You are coming with me."
"Nope."
"... you are making this far more difficult than it needs to be. We have incontrovertible proof that..."
"Hold on. Please."
"Attempting to talk yourself out of this won't work."
"Bet it will."
"What was that?"
"Nothing. OK, look. You're trying to arrest me for murdering our local Nazi leader by means of a Parahuman power, correct?"
"Yes."
"And you think that I'm a villain?"
"Yes!"
"Right. I see. Couple of minor points though."
"Which are?"
"Well, point one, it was self defence, he was attacking this entire area and killed at least five people I'm sure of, not to mention injured about another ten."
"Killing a villain with powers is unacceptable and is deemed murder in the eyes of the law regardless of circumstances."
"Which is idiotic. That aside, point two is that I didn't use any powers."
"I don't understand..."
"I used this. It's a gun. You may remember them from such crimes as the bank robbery yesterday where all your Wards got humiliated?"
"..."
"Shot him right in the eye. .45ACP hollow point to the brain seemed to do the job, even with his armor. He still needed to be able to see and he didn't duck fast enough."
"..."
"No powers. No Parahuman crime. Clear self defence case in my view, and I bet the law will say the same."
"...even if you used a gun, you being a Parahuman will still mean that..."
"Not a Parahuman either. Just a normal human."
"You're wearing a mask!"
"It's the middle of March and it's cold. This is a scarf!"
"I don't believe this."
"Sorry. Not a Parahuman, no powers involved, Kaiser was a dick, and now he's a dead dick. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go talk to the cops over there, the ones grinning at us, tell them what happened, and then my dad expects me home for dinner. Nice to meet you, Armsmaster. Later."
That is funny, but a bit random. How is it related to Distance learning? Shouldn't it be in Random (forgot the exact name)?
