The Projects And Zero

Zero nodded and waited.

The sound came back on. "the Votes are in." the Guild Master informed. "Guilty is 2, Innocent is 7. the Charge has been dropped." Labule gulped as the Justice Minister simply smiled.

Zero simply looked at Shia.

Shia had a small smile on her face. It was clear she was enjoying Labule's reaction.

The Guild Master calmly said "Miss Z, would you like to continue?"

"yes Sir" she said

The Guild Master smiled "the Next charge." Labule announced "property Damage. As you know Miss Z did property damage to the Mothership, A full list of the Damage is now on your screens leading to losses of 3 million credits." "Objection, that is a clear exageration." The Justice Minister butted in. The Guild Master nodded in agreement. "It is at the most 1.5 million." Shia added. Labule suddenly asked "so then, why did you exactly like to damage alot of Guild property."

"I would like to stick to my previous defense " Zero said

Labule almost laughed when the Guild Master said "defence accepted." Which took the smile off his face. As the Justice Minister stood up "Can I ask Miss Z about if she meant to damage property?"

Zero took in a breath "The control I had was very little due to my fathers technology which works on both a psychic and chemical level attacking both the mind and the brain by sending out a powerful psychic wave pulse on the target and releases a very specific set of chemicals into the brain to tell it what the controller wants the controlled to do"

Labule butted in "what a load of nonsense!" he shouted out. The Justice Minister calmly gave him a glance "I see thank you." He sat down. The voices muted. Shia gave the thumbs up.

Zero looked at Shia.

Shia calmly made sure that they couldn't be heard "I think keeping to the same story is working. Not sure though, depends on this vote." she simply told her.

Zero nodded and waited.

The sound reopened "votes are in. Guilty 4 Innocent 5." Labule almost swore in Elven, he instead banged the table, it had been so close. He was getting close to a breakdown. "Is there any real point to charging her any further sir?" The Justice Minister asked. "No, All charges with permission of the cabinet will be dropped." shia blinked, Labule suddenly protested in Elven shouting at the guild Master. Who was simply staring straight ahead letting it wash over him.

Before the Trial could proceed any further it was interrupted by a blue distortion appearing in the centre of the podiums and materializing into a 6 foot tall black armored thing much like the ones that had attacked TFL. Only this one had it's sights set on one person and walked over to Labule its red visor completely focused on him. Zero looked genuinely shocked to see this soldier here wondering what ti oculd want with Labule.

The Guild Master calmly watched this. He made a signal to the honor guard to go on guard. Labule looked utterly scared, but he didn't proeprly show it.

The figure looked Labule dead in the eyes and his visor glowed an angry red he withdrew and gun and pointe dit at labules head and gave him enough time to wet himself.

Labule straightened himself out. "go on then." he confidently retorted at the gun.

The figure clicked the safety off and the gun let out a loud click signaling that it was loaded. The figure then shot Labule in his left arm then took aim at his head.

Labule felt the pain "By god, if you were on my ship you'd so be dead." He taunted again, through the pain. The Guild Master gave a signal to the honour guard, they had loaded their assault rifles but were not raising them, yet. Some had their blades built into the armour unsheathed.

The figure deciding it had had enough of the small creatures jabbering tore off his right arm then shot him in the throat allowing Labule to die slowly. He then vanished with the arm.

That got gasps, as the Guild Master walked down and politely saluted him. He said darkly "All charges dropped. Court is now adjourned." The holo Terminal cut out. Shia stood there Before politely saluting as well "At least he died with honour."

Zero fell to her knees unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Shia calmly asked "Want me to get you a drink?"

Zero stood up.

"yes please " She said
