Noetic File 15.0: Massacre at the Middleweight Concentric
The Narrator indulges in acts of intense severity, including assault, battery, aggravated battery, trespass, maiming, unlawful discharge of a weapon, manslaughter, homicide, and violation of the Covenant. There is also a question of whether use of midges during a violent altercation constitutes an invasion of privacy.

This passage is disputed, for obvious reasons, but weigh of scholarly opinion regards it as original to the oldest surviving strata of manuscripts.
The editors, on the advice of our legal counsel, expressly do not endorse the use of ultra-continuum negative energies to commit massacres of multiple human beings, nor to inflict lacerations, puncture wounds, bone fractures or blunt impact traumas without due cause. Consult your companions, confessors or conscience monitors for advice and consent before proceeding with any act of violence.
However, we remind all students that the heroic acts of our eponymous ancestors, mighty men of renown, heroes noble and bold, are fit objects for admiration and emulation, for in these days we are not soon to find their like.
