Hey, Blackmage, I hardly recognised you without your *hums Santana* Black Magic Woman.
Anyway, my attitude of fighting false dichotomies continues. My answer would be: I'd choose neither or die trying.
Just because the Order tells me it's no option to break out of my prison, run from the underworld and hide untill I have the necessary weapons to fight the whole damn Order, does not mean I have to accept it. ... And if during my daring escape plan, I come to find out, that I am as good as dead, I would take as many of those suckers with me, as possible.
But basicly my defence would be earlier: "Ladies, Gentlemen and Other of the Underwolrd jury. Your laws do NOT apply to me. You might call it "laws", but if they are kept in secret, without any choise to approve or oppose them, by official definitions of the words, they are nothing but thug policies. If you choose to kill me, I guess I can not stop you but don't delude yourself with the illusion it would be justice, it's nothing but murder. And as a murder it would be investigated by my fellow humans, and I tell you one thing: I was not very secretive during my investigations. Everything I found out a damn lot of people will find out once I'm dead. Now that I am clear on this, if I knowingly and willfully entered a contract with you, about my secrecy and your noninterference with my life and that of my family, well, that would be something, I would feel lawfully bound to and something that is in your intrest of protecting your secret."
