The Honourable Judge Haengemie, presiding.

To all who read these precepts, the following transcript of this trial is true and correct, to the best of my knowledge.
Clera, reporting.

[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Mac-arena] I believe that no one can be fairly tried, in any way, until three things are known.
[Mac-arena] these three things are means, opportunity, and motive.
[Mac-arena] we already know the opportunity, and some of the means. this trial is to find out the motive.
[Mac-arena] I would like to say up front I do not seek a guilty verdict.
[Mac-arena] think of this more as a subpoena.
[Mac-arena] to know more of the means, let us seek first-hand knowledge.
[Mac-arena] Witness: Michael
[Haengemie] Thank you, Mac-arena
[Haengemie] Michael, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Lilit, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Lilit] Mac-Arena, by his own admission, uses this court for his own ends.
[Lilit] If this jury finds for anything other than frivolous...
[Lilit] You encourage suits of this nature in the future.
[Lilit] Do you wish to encourage the courts use in this fashion?
[Lilit] I think not.
[Lilit] In spite of what you may or may not think of me, Mac-Arena's action calls you away from other matters.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Lilit] I do not think you want to see this done again.
[Lilit] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Lilit
[Haengemie] Mac-arena, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Mac-arena] I say now that this subpoena is not solely for me, it is for all of the exiles.
[Mac-arena] knowledge is power, and if we know how the undine operate, are summoned, etc. we can know how to defeat them at some point in the future.
[Mac-arena] as I have said, we need to know two things at this point
[Mac-arena] 1) more of the means, by which undine are created and/or summoned and how their power comes to them (including soulglasses)
[Mac-arena] (including soulglasses0
[Mac-arena] 2) the motives for lilit's work, besides her religion.
[Mac-arena] Witness: Fuzz
[Haengemie] Thank you, Mac-arena
[Haengemie] Fuzz, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Fuzz. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinent facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Fuzz, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Fuzz] Fuzz smiles
[Fuzz] Fuzz smiles
[Fuzz] poor miss guided fellow he is
[Fuzz] I know most of have read the stoires of the thocracy
[Fuzz] I know most of have read the stoires of the theocracy
[Fuzz] And you can't accuse someone of hate he is
[Fuzz] he issnt even acuseing her of anything but knowing something he dosent!
[Fuzz] he isnt even acuseing her of anything but knowing something he dosent!
[Fuzz] This trial is a waste of time
[Fuzz] find it innocent
[Fuzz] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Fuzz
[Haengemie] Lilit, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Lilit] Mac-Arena disrespects this court, and he disrespects my work against the Darshak.
[Lilit] This venue is not one for investigation...
[Lilit] ...but for prosecution. I am not even accused of a crime!
[Lilit] He states no crime against me, but wishes an audience for his speculation.
[Lilit] Can you abide this?
[Lilit] Is this a suitable use for the courts?
[Lilit] I have stated again and again, and the court record will show...
[Lilit] ...I do my rites so that I may strike at the Darshak.
[Lilit] This exercise is a waste of time for all of us.
[Lilit] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Lilit
[Haengemie] <standard jury verdict briefing>
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's verdict.

[Haengemie] Lilit this court finds you innocent. You are free to go.
[Haengemie] Judge Haengemie bangs his gavel
[Haengemie] This court is adjourned.
