Definition of a Lady

Note:  I'm not sure if this counts as a vig, though I do have one particular Beast Wars scene in mind.  Most of my Q/A style stories have no set time period, just characters to torture, though.  Done for RedMageSalyre to celebrate 3k hits on DevArt.

What was a lady?  He was not certain.

Was he always uncertain?

No, he must have known at one point, a point before the Axalon journey, for he could feel it in his damaged memory banks.

If he could recall that it was not right to harm a lady, then he had to be able to remember the basic definition of a lady.

Were ladies supposed to be a separate, elite class of femmes?

He did not remember.  However, the information was vital, for it determined whether or not he could shoot this femme.

His vague memories of the past made him seem like a hero, and heroes were supposed to know.

The femme before him was a Predacon.  Could Predacons be ladies?

Could true heroes judge based on faction?  According to his distant, almost inaccessible memories from his days on Cybertron, no.

If he could not judge based on faction, then he could not decide whether or not this femme was a lady.  Only Primus knew, right?

Was there an inner lady hidden inside the Predacon?  That was more than likely, which meant that it was not right to strike a female.
