-----

Night watch. Capital City Theodora, East Sector.

Two guards walk the beat, chatting idly. 

They are Ben and Buck. 

A normal enough pair of Guards on patrol. 

A warm night.

A light rain falls.

-----

Ben: "Say, Buck?"

Buck: "Yeah mate?"

Ben: "Why do you suppose that water is sticky on some things, and more slip-ish on others?"

Buck: "Explain what you mean mate"

Ben: "Well...just now, me knee slipped up a bit on the cobble."

Buck: "What of it?"

Ben: "Why is that? The water's a bit slip-ish then yeah?."

-Buck glances down.-

Buck: "...Isn't it always mate?"

Ben: "Well...no. Look at this."

-Ben puts his foot in the gravel off to the side of the paved road.-

Ben: "Look at that mate. No slips, the water is sticky."

Buck: "Hm, Sticky you say? Yeah...I suppose I never thought of it that way."

Ben: "Yeah mate! And look at thi---!!"

-Places muddy foot back on the paved road and proceeds to immediately slip, flipping onto his back with a loud clang of Armor and flailing limbs.- 

-Both men stare at one another.- 

Buck: "..."

Ben: "..."

Buck: "I see your point...and I won't be tryin' that one mate."

Ben: "Yes...best you didn't then...best you didn't."

-----

-From atop the inner wall, just 20 feet above the impervious pair of Guards, a pair of Officers watch on in disbelief.-

Officer 1: "Did he just?..." 

-Slaps forehead.-

Officer 2: "Yesir."

Officer 1: "Fire him." 

Officer 2: "Immediately Sir."

-Scurries off into the night.-

Ignorance is bliss, but it is also inadvertent. Stupidity is a choice. 

Stay safe.

 Stay healthy.

 Stay vigilant.
