They moved through the crowd with menacing scowls, shoving and kicking back the crowd as if they were dogs.  The guards were somewhat ceremonious since the force field was the primary barrier between the nobles and the proletariat.  But history had taught them a bloody lesson, since then the guards served as a back-up defense.  In a place such as this, it was imperative that order be maintained.  Some of the most prominent citizens of Nethic would be in attendance, including Nethic
