#maybe even groups that want to get rid of the human pet system entirely because it's inhumane

[randomidiocyncrazies]

okay since humans are viewed as 'pets' by the aliens in alien stage... I think it'd be really funny if ALNST is like the equivalent of horse racing or fancy dog shows in our world (except the contestants are culled on live TV when they lose the competition). So while there are diehard fans and a respectable amount of casual fans for it, there is also a significant amount of folks who just don't care about it at all.

(I know ALNST is a huge thing in-universe as shown in the TOP 3 video, but i just think it'd be interesting if it's not as far-reaching as the alien show-runners/sponsors want audiences to think.)

Sum Witchy Info Dump

This time, the regular Rat Coon dump has been replaced with an Info Dump about one of the Author’s other AUs. Warning: This is one of, if not the most, the darker aus of mine. Do not continue past the line if you are not okay with: Major Character Death, Implied(but not explicitly written or said) Non-Con, Anxiety, PTSD, Gore, Violence, Child Abuse, Burns, Severe Scarring, Disabilities, Needles, Hospitals, Child Manipulation, Human Trafficking. Depression

If you can’t tell: This is going to be dark as shit. Maybe don’t continue reading if you’re going to question the status of my mental health

Izuku does have a quirk in this AU, he has a mutation of his parent’s quirks together. He can summon “Shadow Flames” that grow in power the darker it is. These are the most powerful at night(especially around Midnight aka “The Witching Hour”), he has dubbed this quirk “Witch’s Curse”.

His quirk is named Witch’s Curse because he was made to believe that his quirk is the result of being related to a witch. While this isn’t actually true, multiple parties had a hand in this. The main contributors towards this were his father and the human trafficking group he was sold to. 

The day he got his quirk is the day his mother died, he doesn’t like to celebrate his birthday as a result, because to him it acts as a reminder of the day her death plagued everything he once knew.

What happened was he had gotten his quirk at school, and after he wanted to show both his parents once his father got home. His father, being a very suspicious man, absolutely flipped when he saw the quirk his son had. He started raving about the family being cursed and the need for Izuku to be killed to get rid of the curse.

Inko didn’t agree to this, and moved in front of Izuku as her husband was going to use his quirk on the four year old, and he ended up killing his wife in a fit of rage. She couldn’t block all the flames from hitting her son in that moment, resulting(partly) in the scars on his arms. He then blamed Izuku for the death of his mother, going on about how if he hadn’t “chosen” that quirk his mother would still be alive.

Hisashi is to blame for the scars on Izuku’s arms. After the death of his mother, Izuku didn’t use his quirk very much. Typically he would end up accidentally activating it if he did use it.

He used to visit his mother every day with his “Auntie Mitsuki”, in which he told Mitsuki a very disturbing message. This resulted in the making of the posters they posted for Izuku after he hadn’t appeared for a few months, one of which is the poster of the mysterious boy in Katsuki’s room(and later his dorm room)

After he stopped showing up, Mitsuki stopped tending to the grave of Inko as it felt wrong to be visiting without Inko’s beloved son. 

Izuku was sold on the black market around six years of age, he was mostly used for labor until he was ten years of age. That’s when they locked him in a bright room with no way to use his quirk, the entire time he spent there is mostly why he doesn’t trust people.

Aizawa was the person who discovered Izuku in the raid on the place he was kept at.

When he first arrives in the hospital, he doesn’t have the devices that stop his quirk. Izuku ends up getting overwhelmed by the environment and having a panic attack. He ends up activating his quirk and nearly causes a fire in his hospital room. Because of not using his quirk for years the drawback is extreme.

He has to use crutches because he was malnourished, and his knees ended up getting the blunt of everything. The joints end up getting jacked up to the point where he needs crutches to move around for awhile, but even after he’s released from the hospital he’s really unsteady without them.

Even after his release he’s still extremely light sensitive, he keeps his hair and bangs long to help cut down the brightness levels of being outside or in a brightly lit room. 

Izuku actually has a support item that helps regulate his quirk, it doesn’t block it, but it just helps him control his quirk. The brighter it is, the less it regulates, and the darker it is the more it regulates. It took him a long time to get used to it, but without it sometimes his quirk can over power and could potentially cause him fatal injuries. So he doesn’t take it off when he’s in dark areas.

Izuku actually prefers the dark, because of the lighting system from his time in the ring was set up so that fully lit meant he was available, and unlit was for when he was done for the day. So he’s learned to associate the dark with being safe.

Izuku doesn’t actually remember his mother, so when he spends time with Mitsuki he likes to ask questions about Inko. With the help of Mitsuki, and a couple images Mitsuki had let him look at, he’s been able to piece together what type of person she was and what she looked like. Izuku thinks of Mitsuki as more of a mother figure. 

Sometimes when Izuku gets stuck in the area of Mitsuki and Katsuki arguing, he goes and camps out with Masaru. It’s not uncommon to see the two together when Katsuki is home, Masaru is also the one to supervise when Izuku is in the garden they made.

Aizawa is the one to adopt Izuku as the loud environment of the Bakugou’s house makes Izuku’s anxiety go through the roof.

Izuku has an Egyptian Mau mix named Tadaaki, who is very protective of Izuku and gets moody around everyone but Izuku. Tadaaki serves as his ESA and goes to school with Izuku in a little bubble backpack, Tadaaki isn’t allowed on the field so instead Izuku keeps a little beanbag cat in one of his pouches. 

When Aizawa has to be gone for a couple of days, he has the Bakugou’s watch over him. Aizawa knows that Izuku doesn’t like the noise, but Tadaaki actually does a lot for Izuku.

Izuku has special gear that strengthens his legs and can provide support to his body, this removes him having to fight with his crutches, and gives him more mobility. 

Izuku is like Tamaki, he doesn’t really like people and is actually very shy and wary. Sometimes he can have moments where he’s brave, but most of the time he’s very distant from his classmates. Because of this, with his disability and his quirk, many people say that he can’t be a hero. As a result, Izuku often doubts himself and his abilities.

Izuku is absolutely terrified of All Might. To Izuku, All Might is loud, stronger than a team of ox, and incredibly fast. Not to mention the height difference and intimidating factor about his overall appearance. And the hero is like a mini walking sun, so Izuku doesn’t like to be near him.

Izuku wears wraps on his arms that hide his scars, when he can’t wear them he prefers long sleeves. Often he won’t even change in front of his classmates. 

Izuku is often times called a Witch because of his quirk becoming strongest at Midnight, the fact that cats(especially black cats) gravitate toward him, and just his general appearance. 

Izuku doesn’t remember anyone from his past very well besides his father, but in all his memories his father’s face is never shown. So Izuku actually calls Katsuki by his first name(Katsuki/Katsuki-kun) and not Kacchan. 

Likewise, Katsuki doesn’t call Izuku “Deku” in this au as he does have a quirk. Instead he calls Izuku “Witchy” or “Sheep Dog”(because of his long curly hair)

Izuku and Katsuki are like brothers in this AU, because for most of their lives they’ve been separated so much of the bullying that happens in cannon does not exist here. Katsuki sees Izuku as a brother and rival while Izuku sees Katsuki as a brother and someone he can trust.

Beyond Izuku, Tadaaki really only likes Aizawa. Tadaaki will get moody with the Bakugou’s sometimes, but only when they try to forcefully pick him up or pet him. Tadaaki doesn’t like most of the people in 1-A, and has bitten fingers and ankles of people who have tried to touch Izuku. 

There have been times that Aizawa has gotten home to find the door to the deck fully open, but Izuku’s shoes in the entrance. The first few times he thought Izuku had been taken, only to find that he had fallen asleep waiting for him to get home. Aizawa still comes home to find the deck door open, and always checks there first. A couple times Izuku had fallen asleep waiting for him on the couch, and didn’t wake up when Aizawa walked in(Izuku is a light sleeper, it doesn’t take much to wake him). 

Nobody knows where Izuku goes to eat lunch. Typically after he grabs his food, he goes to eat with Aizawa in the teachers lounge.

Izuku will sometimes hang out with Present Mic. He refers to him either by first or last name when in private, and by last name or “Mic” in public/class. Izuku doesn’t remember his father’s name, so the fact that Hisashi and Hizashi are very similar doesn’t bother him.

Trivia:

The nurse that took care of him the most was a woman named Senzuki Sorasatoko. Her quirk is the ability to produce a mist that calms people down, and in high enough quantities, can be used as an anesthetic.

Vermin As Well As Insect Control

Vermin As Well As Insect Control

There are lots of parasites in this world, and also eventually everyone will certainly locate themselves battling a bug. Bug can invade our garden, our home, structures; the checklist continues. Insects can be insects, plants or pets. Just the mention of fleas, roaches, dandelions, mold and mildew, mice as well as rats can elicit solid feelings. Bugs offer a health hazard to your household, animals, as well as yard.

It is necessary to know just how to appropriately control these parasites that attack our lives. It is almost difficult to remove bugs, but it is important to manage these intrusive parasites. There are numerous techniques of managing bugs; these can include chemical control, organic control, mechanical approaches, or a combination thereof.

  Mechanical parasite control is normally one of the most affordable and if implemented before a large invasion takes place can produce wanted outcomes. Mechanical techniques consist of hand picking (such as pulling weeds) and also traps (such as a computer mouse catch). Mechanical techniques of bug control are normally the most eco-friendly.

Organic pest control includes pesticides that are stemmed from plants or various other naturally occurring substances such as microorganisms.

Chemical bug control includes the use of even more toxic synthetic pesticides. Chemical pest control is not environmentally friendly and also is never ever thought about as a natural method of control.

" Integrated Bug Management is the coordinated use of pest and ecological info together with offered insect control approaches, including cultural, biological, genetic and chemical approaches, to avoid undesirable degrees of insect damages by the most affordable methods, and also with the least possible danger to individuals, residential or commercial property, and also the setting". (Procedures of the National Integrated Bug Monitoring Discussion Forum. 1992. American Farmland Count On).

Integrated Insect Administration emphasizes the use of corresponding techniques of bug control such as the introduction of all-natural predators. This method of insect control is far more ecologically sound than relying upon chemical methods.

The very first step in insect control is to recognize the issue. Particularly when plants are involved, the issue might entail poor growing conditions rather than an assault from an intrusive pest. In some cases determining the pest is obvious, if you see a mouse scurrying throughout the floor it is obvious you require for parasite control. The next action is to recognize just how significant the problem is, or is this just one mouse that has located its way into your residence, or exists a family of computer mice that has actually used up habitation in your house. One computer mouse can typically easily be eliminated utilizing a mouse catch or potentially the family members feline. Nonetheless if you have a large infestation of computer mice, you may need to consider more powerful chemical techniques or discover it needed to work with an expert exterminator to rid your house of the bug trouble.

Pests have always been part of the significant problems or worries that influence the markets of agriculture as well as production.

Along with it, when parasites proliferate, conditions comply with, so health companies as well as companies can be found in.

Via the years, the human race has actually established different and also potent equipment and chemicals to regulate pests. History as well as existing insect standing will after that judge if those efforts have been effective, or if they have actually mosted likely to the brink of futility.

Bed pests.

Bed insects are one among those pests that influence houses. They may not influence plants, but did you know that bed insects can prey on chickens and birds?

Yes, researchers think that old bed bugs used to prey exclusively on birds. Maybe, centuries or millenniums back, bed insects did not such as blood of individuals. All they drew was birds' and also fowls' blood.

Now, bed insects flourish not just in bird nests yet additionally in individuals's 'nests.' It is believed that in industrialized countries, 5 out of 10 apartments have bed pests in it. In the developing nations, the number can be worse.

It can be since developing nation might not have sufficient budget plan to be designated to the control of bed bugs. Or it can be that because governments in third nations do not invest much on education regarding the particular bug.

Bed pests are tiny pests. They are among the millions or billions of insect species. They have multiplied with the years and can be widely spread in all nations around the world.

Bed insects are scientifically known as Cimex lectularius. They are wingless animals. Think of just how it would be harder and much more hazardous if bed insects have wings. If that happened, then, bed pests would undoubtedly be irrepressible.

Bed bugs are extremely resistant pests. It is because bed bugs, in their entire lifespan can endure by having only one dish or feeding time.

It resembles they are one-time big time. Eat today, rest tomorrow, see you following year. That is exactly how they are.

Pest research study located that bed bugs' lifetime is just around greater than a year. Yet female bed insects can lay eggs 3 times throughout that period. Each egg-laying session by the women bed insect can be comparable to 300 eggs.

The reality makes bed insects among the most quickly spreading out parasites in the world.

Bug control compounds.

In general, pest control materials or pesticides and insecticides used to manage bugs, including bed pests can be categorized right into 3 groups:.

o Insect Growth Regulators. IGRs aim at impacting or hindering the advancement of larvae or eggs of bed insects and insects. It can be kept in mind that however, these pesticides to not efficiently exterminate grown-up bugs, they work to harm recreation.

Hence, no new generation of a specific pest is anticipated to arise from the exact same website. IGS likewise make up for the slowest insect control group since results will certainly not be evident till a few time.

But IGRs are certainly an effective means to manage parasites. It has one of the most special strategy among all parasite control pesticides and also pesticides.

o Call pesticides. This group of pest control materials eliminate pests immediately. The group can be taken into consideration the fastest method to kill bugs. Within seconds, or mins, or immediately, the target insects or bugs will be eliminated.

Get in touch with pesticides can be the fastest, where results can be seen and examined instantly, however amongst the pest control substance teams, they are the least reliable.

It is because contact insecticides have that repellant residential property that pests and pests can quickly recognize.

Thus, bugs as well as insects will certainly repell from or stay clear of the surfaces which contain the chemicals' residues.

Insecticidal dirts. This is the group is in between. They are likewise fast, yet not as fast at get in touch with insecticides in regulating parasites, but they are a sure bet, like the IGRs.

Insecticidal dirts function by assaulting the protective layer covering the bugs' skin. They damage the bugs' skin so the chemicals can enter into their systems and also toxin them.

The group is the most harsh and also sure means of managing insects.

Parasite control is not a very easy job yet it is an activity you must do, anyways. Simply be great as well as do your homework before starting the objective.

Chapter Nine

Chapter Nine

The Roman Empire 

           The boys had gotten used to visiting room 307; they had been there so many times. They entered and the adults rose to greet them. Rabbi Cohen made the introductions. “Gentlemen, this is Prof. LeBlanc and Prof. Giuliani. They are both from the UNH History Department. Prof. LeBlanc and Prof. Giuliani, this is Mr. Weaver, Mr. Pope, and Mr. Castleton.

           “Please, everyone, sit down,” Rabbi Cohen continued. The group took their chairs at the table. “Mr. Weaver, would you please describe your experiences to us?” Patrick recounted the mission in Paris and all the boys had seen. He choked up as he described the girl in the cart, and the nuns. “Prof. LeBlanc, can you tell the boys what they witnessed?” Rabbi Cohen asked. “I know that you can’t make the shock go away, but it may help if they understand their experiences.”

           “Certainly,” Prof. LeBlanc said, clearing his throat. The man was old with white hair and a white beard. “I’m afraid you boys ended up in the middle of the French Revolution. You witnessed a particularly violent period the French called La Terreur, or The Terror. Before the Revolution, France was ruled by an absolute monarch. This means the French king had total power. The king who ruled at the beginning of the Revolution was named Louis XVI. He was a weak man, with little understanding of his country’s problems. The French had helped the Americans win their Revolution. As a result, some people in France began to think that maybe they too could get rid of their King.

           “French society was divided into three groups. The nobility had all the power and most of the wealth. There was a small middle class of business people who were wealthy, but had no power. Most of the people were working class. They had no money, and no power. They lived in the cities or in the country, and for them life was hard.

           “King Louis and his court lived rich and easy lives. To live in this kind of luxury, they needed lots of tax money. France was also fighting a war, and so the king needed even more taxes to pay for his army. To top it off, there was a famine. This meant people paid all their money in taxes and had nothing left to feed their families. Many were starving.  

           “The revolution began with a simple idea. The revolutionaries wanted the king to become more democratic. They also wanted him to take better care of his people. Those were the revolution’s first goals, but things quickly spun out of control, and radicals took over. Eventually, King Louis and his queen were executed by the guillotine you saw in action. After the king and queen, the radicals began executing anyone who opposed them. The nobles and rich people fled France, or went into hiding. Meanwhile, the revolutionary government tried to stamp out anything that reminded anyone of the king. They tried to make everyone equal. People had to call each other Citizen rather than Mister, or Sir.”

           “We learned that,” Mike added. “That must be why everybody we saw was dressed in working clothes. What was the funny red hat they all wore, with the round ribbon?”

           “That was a liberty cap, and the ribbon was called the cockade. It had the French colors: red, white, and blue,” Prof. LeBlanc responded. “Wearing the liberty cap showed that you supported the revolution, but back to my story. Just as the revolution got out of control, so did executing political enemies. Soon, no one was safe. The year you were in Paris, most of the victims of the guillotine were common people. Most had done nothing worse than hide food to feed their families. It was called hoarding. Neighbors accused neighbors they didn’t like of being unpatriotic. That’s all it took to lose your head, for someone to not like you.”

           “So, that girl was just a regular person like everyone else?” Nick asked. “Why would people cheer at seeing her head cut off?”

           “The revolution’s leaders told the people that their accused neighbors were enemies of the revolution,” Prof. LeBlanc explained. “It was like some evil cloud had set down over Paris and had turned good, working people into a bloodthirsty mob. Cutting off peoples’ heads was like a sport.”

           “Disgusting,” Patrick said, almost spitting out the word.      

           Dr. Newcomb spoke. “Remember what I taught you in Ethics; be careful how you judge people. We are all alike. You are no different than the people you saw in that crowd. Bad leaders could make many of the people you know, your family, your friends, or even you, do the same thing. It has happened many times in history.”

           “The French people made up pet names for the guillotine,” Prof. LeBlanc said. “They called it things like Louisette and the National Razor.”

           “That makes sense, now,” Mike said. “Those are the names that drunk guy used. I thought Louisette was the bartender’s wife.” The adults looked puzzled. They had not talked with the drunk. “Never mind,” Mike said holding up his hand. “You had to be there.”

           Prof. LeBlanc continued. “The revolution taught atheism and made the Church an enemy. Priests were slaughtered. You witnessed the sixteen Carmelite Sisters of Compiegne being executed. This was the turning point in The Terror. The people were so disgusted by guillotining nuns that the killing stopped soon after. The nuns did not die in vain. Their deaths, and the very calm, dignified way they died shocked the people out of their thirst for blood.

           “The Terror killed as many as 40,000 people,” Prof. LeBlanc continued. “That is as many people as live in some cities. It was the first time a government tried to exterminate an entire group of people. The French radicals did a good job of it. Unfortunately, they taught future dictators a horrible lesson. In the 20th century and even during your time, the same thing happened over and over. There is a name for wiping out a particular group of people. It’s called genocide. It is one of humanity’s greatest evils.”

           The room was silent. The adults felt sorry for the boys. They had landed in the middle of The Terror without being prepared for it. They were still in shock from their experiences.

           After a time Prof. Giuliani spoke. She was small with a dark complexion and a curved nose. She reminded Mike of a crow. Even her voice squawked like a bird’s. However, she was friendly and helpful. “My specialty is the Roman Empire. I talked with Dr. Singh. It appears she requested a time team do research for her in the mid-2nd century. This was a good time for the Empire. It was ruled for decades by men who are known as the Five Good Emperors. Good means they were better than some of the emperors before them, and after them, who were really bad. These five emperors were not what we would call good today.

           “The Roman Empire was one of the greatest empires in history. Rome controlled all the countries around the Mediterranean Sea.” The same holographic map Dr. Singh had used appeared, but this time with the Roman Empire highlighted. “The Empire also included all the western European countries, including Britain. It was a vast area of land inhabited by millions and millions of people.

           “The Romans called the tribes that lived outside the Empire barbarians. To protect the Empire’s long borders from the barbarians, Rome had to maintain a huge and powerful army. Inside its borders the Empire needed a large army to keep conquered people under control. It was very expensive to have a military this big, and Rome needed a lot of tax money.

           “The Empire provided important benefits for the people living in it, even the peoples Rome had conquered. Countries in the Empire did not fight each other any more. Rome would not allow it. So, life was safe and there was a lot more trade than before the Empire. Rome and her Empire became very wealthy. This was called the Roman Peace. Conquered people paid a price for the Roman Peace - lots of taxes.

           “Being a Roman citizen was a major protection. In the Empire, Roman citizens were best off. Citizens could not be accused of a crime or tried by anyone other than Romans. A Roman citizen had full freedom, and so becoming a citizen was very desirable. People who were not born Roman citizens paid a lot of money to buy their citizenship.

           “You need to be mentally prepared because you will see things that will shock you. The Empire was built by slave labor. The Romans had more slaves than you could imagine. Even ordinary Roman citizens owned several slaves. Rich people owned dozens and dozens. A man who owned a business owned a whole factory full of slaves. At home he had a house full of them. Slaves built the roads. They built the buildings. Slaves did nearly everything. Without all this free labor the Empire would not have existed.

           “When slavery is this important to a society, there has to be a system to provide the slaves. There have to be ways to buy and sell them. When the Roman army conquered a people, they took their captives to the slave markets. There, they sold them to be distributed all over the Empire. When people in the Empire revolted, they were made into slaves and scattered. They never saw their friends and families again. In these ways, new slaves kept pouring into the markets. Children of slaves were slaves. That meant that Rome bred and raised generations of slaves.”

           “This is awful,” Mike said. “I’m glad we did away with slavery by my time. I wouldn’t want to grow up in a world like that.”

           “Oh, Mr. Castleton,” Dr. Newcomb responded. “There is slavery in your time. There has always been slavery. You don’t see it because it’s not in the open as it was in Rome, or even in the United States before its Civil War. However, I assure you, you do live in a world where people are owned by others. People are bought and sold, and have no freedom.”

           “No way,” Nick answered. “I’ve never heard of a slave in my time.”

           “They are there, Mr. Pope,” Dr. Newcomb responded. “Research the matter when you go back. You’ll be horrified. Slavery did not finally end until after the Hampton Summit.” Mike, Nick, and Patrick were stunned by this information.

           “There were different levels of slavery in the Roman Empire,” Prof. Giuliani continued. “Most were just laborers, and were treated terribly. Slaves that were skilled usually had a better life, as they were worth more to their owners. Some slaves were so trusted they even ran their owners’ businesses. Slaves with an education often worked as tutors for wealthy children.

           “Slave women sometimes had an even worse fate. Their owners could do whatever they wanted to them, and they could not refuse. The master was often the father of many of his own slave children. Those children also belonged to him as slaves and he could do anything he wanted to them.”

            This knowledge turned the boys’ stomachs.

           “A slave owner owned a slave’s body and life. If the owner wished to punish a slave with death, he had that power. A runaway slave was treated harshly. He or she was whipped, branded on the face, or put to death.

           “You saw the guillotine,” Prof. Giuliani went on. “Roman people were just as bloodthirsty as the crowd you saw in Paris. Their leaders made sure they had a steady diet of blood sports. Criminals were put to death publicly. Runaway slaves were killed to entertain the crowds. Some religions were illegal. People who practiced those religions were persecuted and eliminated. Some slaves, called gladiators, were trained to fight and kill to amuse the people. A gladiator match was the equivalent of a cage fight, a popular form of entertainment from your time. However, gladiators used weapons, so the loser paid with his life.

           “The people were always happy to see someone die. There was no need for them to stand in the city square to be entertained, like in Paris. Every major city in the Roman Empire had a public arena. There, the people were amused with a steady stream of death. When it came to killing, Romans were imaginative, and they continually dreamt up new ways to do it. One of the favorite methods was feeding the victims to wild beasts. Animals like lions, tigers, and leopards were starved for days. Then, they were let loose in the arena with the helpless victims, who became dinner. The crowds loved this. They especially liked it when the beasts played with the people for a while. The longer it took the victim to die, the better.

           “Romans did not kill all their victims in the arena. They also liked public executions. The most common way of executing a slave or a non-citizen was crucifixion. This is the most horrible method mankind has ever developed for killing people. Crucifixion was terribly painful and lasted for days. The Romans tied or nailed the victim to a large wooden cross, and left him there to hang by his arms. After the victim died, the body was left on the cross to be eaten by birds.

           “The Romans preferred to crucify people outside a city’s main gate. This way, everyone coming and going saw the crucifixion. It was a real effective way to spread the message - do not cross the Roman Empire.”            

           The boys sat back in their chairs with their jaws hanging open. “Was there ever a time in history when people were good to each other?” Mike asked. The adults all sadly shook their heads.

           “Humanity’s history is pretty bad,” Dr. Newcomb said.

           Prof. Giuliani continued. “Curiously, Romans were very religious, and like the ancient Greeks, they had lots of gods. Romans also believed that the emperor was a god. Rome was tolerant of other religions, but in a very strange way. When Rome conquered a people they let them continue to worship their own gods. All the Romans demanded was that everyone make a regular sacrifice to the emperor. Most people didn’t have a problem with this. They considered it their patriotic and religious duty. If you did not sacrifice to the emperor, you were either an atheist or an enemy of Rome. Either way, you found yourself in the arena amusing the crowds.

           “You need to be aware of one final horror,” Prof. Giuliani continued. “During the mid-second century the Empire experienced a series of major plagues, known as the Antonine Plague. The Romans didn’t know what the illness was, but we do. It was smallpox. The army picked up the disease while fighting barbarians. They brought the illness into the Empire, where it spread like wildfire. Hundreds of thousands of people died. Entire cities were wiped out. Two of the Good Emperors even died of the plague. There was no way to stop the illness. All Rome could do was wait for it to run its course.

           “You don’t have to worry,” Rabbi Cohen added. “As Cadets you were vaccinated against any illnesses you will run into in the past. You are immune.”

           “Yes,” Prof. Giuliani went on. “However, you may witness the plague. If you do, it will not be pleasant.”

           “I saw the plague in London when I was a cadet,” Nick added. “It is bad. People die so fast the others can’t bury all the bodies. There are too many.”

           “To top it off,” Prof. Giuliani added, “Roman people were not compassionate with each other. If you got sick, you were on your own. There was no health care, no hospitals, and no nurses. Only the rich had doctors, and they weren’t very good. The idea of caring for the sick came about long after the time you are visiting.

           “I envy you and I feel sorry for you,” Prof Giuliani said in conclusion. “You will see some of the most wonderful things in history. Romans built beautiful cities and they had beautiful art. You will also see some terrible things. The Romans were a brutal people. They built their Empire with slaves and saw nothing wrong with it. They liked blood and they had little compassion.

           “I hope I have been able to help prepare you,” Prof. Giuliani concluded. “I can’t promise you won’t witness events like The Terror. At least you know you may.”

           The boys thanked the adults and got up to leave. “When will you go to Carthage?” Rabbi Cohen asked.

           “Right away,” responded Patrick. “We might as well get it over with.”

           “No,” said Nick. “I have an idea I want to work on, but it will probably take me a while. Give me three days, Patrick. Let me see if I can find a way to talk Roman.”

           “The Romans spoke Latin,” Prof. Giuliani added. “Conquered peoples spoke their local languages in their homes. However, most learned Latin as well. They had to. It was the Empire’s official language. However, in the east, everyone spoke Greek as a common language. That was left over from Alexander the Great. He conquered all the eastern Mediterranean and made everyone speak Greek. So, depending where you are in the Empire, people will be speaking Latin or Greek. In Carthage, it will be Latin.”
