What of the Ryoka? (CLOSED)

I still suspect, despite the female Ryoka's assurances that she can return Captain Hitsugaya to life, a dubious claim if I've ever heard one, that our mysterious Ryoka visitors may indeed be a threat, possibly related to the man who killed the Captain. Lieutenant Izuru Kira of 3rd Division has been gravely wounded by one of them while attempting to assist Captain Tousen Currently, my orders are to place the Ryoka under arrest, taking them alive, and imprison them in Senzaikyu while we attempt to deal with this new threat.

I wish to hear your opinions on this matter. Should we trust them, release them and enlist their aid? Should we leave them in prison for a longer time? Should we simply exile them back to Earth? Or are they, like our other mysterious prisoner, too dangerous to live?

This ballot will be secret and will run for three days, at the end of which majority will have ruled. Please discuss your arguments and opinions here.

If this is open for discussion, I believe we should send them back to Earth with orders never to return. If they are left in Senzaikyu I fear that they will somehow be released before we can deal with the Bounts.

However, mind you, if they manage to get out before we come to consensus, I will hunt them down with full force.

I believe we should release them, if they heal all damage they have done to Izuru and assist us with the bount threat. After such when can banish them to Earth, for their assitance will no longer be neccesary... Think of it as a kind of [i]community service[/i].

Mayuri cleared his throat. "I'm in favour of releasing them. So far, what they've said has proven trustworthy - we've all seen this 'Bount' for ourselves. There are only four of them : it shouldn't be too much trouble to deal with them if they turn out to be enemies, but they would make valuable allies if released."

"I am also in favor of releasing the ryoka. They, as Mayuri-taisa has said, have been trustworthy. I'm very keen to know what they can do to help us, and I feel they are very much of better use to us alive and on our side than otherwise."

"i dont particulary trust them, but one of them could indeed help us to bring back captain hitsugaya, also, they dont seem to be refusing to be taken in, so i think this means that they have no ill intentions with us so far"

They have broken our laws in coming here by force. Had they simply spoken with us, things would be different, but as they chose the way they did they must be punished.

I do agree with Byakuya on this issue.

I also agree.

I feel as if sending them back to Earth would likely be the best solution.

We might need some back up with the bount issue if anyone wants to help.

You have spoken. The Ryoka have been released.
