This is the oath that Achilles Mojave asked of his Myrmidons.
I swear by all I hold inviolable that I renounce all other ties, and from this day shall live, and fight, and kill, and die only for Achilles.
Its shortness and simplicity is commented upon by the Myrmidons, who had just finished listening to the Humanist President’s delivery of that oath.
