Aboard the USS Enterprise.
"Enterprise, who made that," Georgia asks
"Ethan did, though I think everyone knows him as Hero." Enty says
"Hero like hero, The Tinker?" Georgia asks
"Yes, that's my Ethan before he triggered he was my nuclear engineer," Enty says
"So, he's an example of what would happen if an engineer became a tinker huh," Georgia mutters
====================================================
May 5th 2011 Thursday.
Miss Militia was on the stand as a witness.
They had already been in the courtroom for 5 hours, and the case was starting to get heated. Thomas Calvert had managed to convince Costa Brown to fully invest in this case so the entirety of the PRT's Legal team was there in the court room and it was Saul's goal to chase them out.
"Miss Militia, how would you describe Armsmaster? I would have gladly had him up here however, he mysteriously died before the trial in a way that is completely unlike him." Saul says
"Armsmaster wasn't killed to cover anything up. I don't like how you are insinuating that." Milita says
"Yes, the man has braved gunfire several times and been fine. How would you describe him as a coworker, a person?" Saul asks
"Armsmaster… Was a great planner and a very logical thinker." Militia
"So he wasn't a people person. Would he be able to tell if children were lying to him." Saul asks
"I heard that the wards had gotten away with lying to him several times," Militia says
"Your Honor Hearsay."
"Gallant told you that didn't he?" Saul asks
"Mr Goodman…" Lawson says
"You're honor, is it really hearsay if she heard it from the subject in question. If a Ward told her something along the lines of that always worked with the Armsmaster, or I wish you were like he was before he made his lie detector helmet. Which I would love to get into the legality of." Saul asks
Hannah was wondering how Saul had known about that.

"Does Shadow Stalker even show any remorse?" Saul asks
"Your honor, why would Miss Militia even know that?" The PRT Lawyer asks
"Because she got to see Sophia yesterday, was she showing any remorse at all or was she proud of her actions, she probably even boasted about them. You all knew of her mental issues yet your boss insisted on keeping her a Ward." Saul accuses
"In all honesty she has full faith in the Youth Guard protecting her." Miss Militia admits
"The Youth Guard protecting a violent criminal? Really? She does realize that the district attorney wants to charge her with bioterrorism right?" Saul asks, baffled.
"Your Honor! Sophia Hess's crimes have nothing to do with this case!"
"You're absolutely sure that a corrupt criminal of a Ward would have nothing to do with PRT corruption?" Saul asks completely
"You can not call a juvenile delinquent a corrupt criminal, it's entirely different!"
"She was put in juvie because she killed a person!" Saul counters back
"Mr, Goodman! Mr Jameson! This is a court of law! Not a goddamn soap opera! Ladies and gentlemen of the Jury I think we are going to call it here for today. I will be seeing council in the chambers." Judge Lawson Says standing up.
Saul smirks and gives a thumbs up to Taylor before standing up and walking towards the back of the courtroom following the Judge, three PRT lawyers following behind.
======================================
"Sarah, what in the world was the plan today?" Taylor asks
"To make the PRT seem childish. You just have to go up there and act like the abuse victim that you once were while Saul will work to drag their name through the mud. Humans either trust or distrust authority, however, our goal isn't to get them to distrust the PRT just to make them realize they distrusted the PRT the entire time." Sarah says
"Ah, so that's why we recorded Coil unmasking himself," Taylor says with a smile.
"Exactly."Sarah nods in affirmation.
