Congeal, deliberate, is there a consensus if you should stand trial? (Sabrina)

Congeal, deliberate, is there a consensus if you should stand trial? (Sabrina)

Walking down the rather bleak but well lit corridor, Brad reading. The vanilla file was open and the cover was folded so that he could hold it with one hand, be able to read, while still being able to use his other hand to open doors or swipe his key card.

He seemed rather lax considering the job he had before him. Then again he was the prosecuting attorney that had litigated and won the case that had found Malice Draclau guilty of a bucket list of crimes. Proving Malice was guilty was the easy part. The difficult part was it was a media circus and that Malice was always such the drama queen the courtroom appeared to be more of a day time soap opera the a courtroom of law.

Coming to one door Brad stopped and put his card up to the red panel that sat adjust to the door. It red the card and a click from the door echoed down the hallway, the door opened. Brad walked in not looking directly at the poisoner that was still behind the same energy cell she was in when Memorial integrated [member="sabrina"] . There was still Ysalamir lizards in the room creating a large Force-neutral bubble that kept Sabrina and Brad from using the Force. Yes Brad was affected by the lizard as soon as he stepped in the room.

He did not say anything as he entered and the door shut behind him. He quietly; while reading still, walked over and sat down in the same chair Memorial was sitting in, what was it a day ago?

Brad looked up from the file, set it down upon his lap, tap his lip with his finger and lightly cleared his throat. You know that light little cough that is not really a cough. A not so subtle hint that someone was about to speak. “Just to make sure I have the right lady could you please give your name before we proceeded”, it was a polite request but a request with merit. There was always that chance there could be one wrong number is on the paper work and he was sent to the wrong cell room.

She looked at the man, as he coughed to get her attention. She was still sore over her last visitor, was this one going to beat her know. She then replied to his question, I am Sabrina Kotass, also known as darth Banshee. Yes I am a member of the sith order, and you are? She was still trying to keep a modicum of pride, after her last talk. Though know she was a little more scarred of these people. Her face had black eye, and busted lip. Her gut was sore, from all the blows she took from that man. Though she may have manged to make bargain with him. So know what would this new comer want from her, more questions, or just another pound of her flesh.

 

[Brad Solo]

She had openly declared herself to be a Sith and yet Brad felt disturbed by the fact the prison was left in the state she was in. [member="Darth Banshee"] was not clean up by either the battle she was in or some run in with someone here at the prison.

Tapping the lapel pin on his suit Brad began to speak to someone on his comlink/ lapel pin, “Could someone please bring me a field medical kit?” Brad tapped the lapel pin once more.

“Miss Sabrina Katass, I am Brad Solo and a district attorney from Coronet City, Coreilla. I am here to evaluate your situation and give my legal opinion if you should be tried in a civil court or to keep you detained as a prisoner of war. It is the opinion of many we should remain humane”, motioned with his finger using his face to point out his question about her, “Miss Katass did that happen on the field of battle or?” Simple enough question that should get a simple enough answer.

 

[Darth Banshee]

She was a bit confused, by his statement that she would be tried in a civilian court. As she had committed no crimes, she was taken prisoner during a battle. Then again it would probably be show trial, to try prove they where better than the sith are. Then he asked a question about her injuries, she wonder weather or not to say. She decide not to, as she may manged to make a deal with her attacker. If she did it might be away of this world. With this in mind she decide to answer during the battle. Though any one checking holo records, would soon realize differently.

It happened during the battle, if you must know. She had know lied to him, but it may help her in the long run, or be her undoing. May I ask what crime I am being accused of, since my incarceration here was part of the war. Please bear in mind, we do have prisoner too. As you may remember, you did try and retake coruscant, oh and failed. She had realized from his remark, she was not going to be hit.This bolstered her courage a bit, meaning she was willing to taunt him a little. Oh and may I ask, what is your name?

Any courage the Sith Lord might have felt would likely have vanished when the door opened next. There, in the doorway, was none other than Lord Protector Ayden Cater himself. He wore a frown on his face rather deeply and he crossed his arms over his chest. After a moment, he stepped into the room before letting the door slide shut. "I'm not entirely sure what you're doing here, Councilor. You seem to be misinformed, as the prisoner in question was captured on the battlefield. She was discovered, attempting to hide away, while her crew was detained following their surrender during the Battle of Naboo. As such, this is not a civilian matter. She attempted to assault Protectorate military property during a planetary invasion. As this is a military matter, her guilt has already been decided. All that is left to the matter is what we will do with her."

He paused briefly to glare at the Sith before continuing. "And please do not mistake my tone for disrespect, Councilor. I do not believe you are here by any other reason than accident, a mix-up in paperwork. You should never have received any manner of legal aid request for someone like this. I do apologize for the inconvenience."

Brad smiled, really there was no reason not to. “No need to apologize. This happens more then you know. That is why all possible cases are reviewed before we proceed with any legalities. This makes my work here pretty cut and dry. Evaluation is not needed to determine guilt or innocence by civilian court.”

He got up from his chair and took a step forward, looking at the prisoner. “So convicted of war crimes. Your not in a very good position Miss Katass.”

Still Brad, he was not upset if his time was possibly wasted. In fact he believed this was a interesting development. He looked over to Ayden, as he Brad was done addressing the poisoner, “So she really hid while her crew was being detained? Typical behavior for a Sith, I seen quite a bit of that when I was a Republic Commando.”

[Darth Banshee]

She was just a little flabbergasted, by that remark. What war crimes has she committed exactly, then again what else could she expect from the enemy. May I ask, what war crime I committed? She then went over everthing, she had done in her mind. At coruscant she stopped her advance, to allow a Jedi to give birth. At cardia, she was involved in a space battle, her first ever and lost. Then it was teta, where the only civilian casualties, where killed by the Jedi. The invasion of Alderaan, she gave medical aid to enemy soldiers. Then she came back to coruscant, to repel them, she may order the the carpet bombing of the enemy position. Though that was the only way, to remove the mandalorian weapon the braal. After that a sniper almost killed her. Then it was back to alderaan, where she tracked down and helped take out a republic spy. Then back to teta, where the mandalorains invaded. Their she failed to protect Darth [member="Ordo"], she does not know if he is dead or alive. Then their was naboo, her contribution to that was to get captured. So all that fethin war, what crime had she committed. ​Also may I review this evidence, as I think you may be mistaken! Her voice was annoyed, she so far gone out her way to protect civilians. As she did not want unnecessary deaths, to be on her hands. Unlike some of the Jedi, when they tried to take down teta. Also the omega hands where not clean, if her battle reviews she had where true. Some one deliberately crashed a space ship in to civilian building. Also some else was shooting down civilian evacuation transports, a member of havoc squad with an rpg. Their act`s on that planet, actually sickened her a bit. Then again these where the evil Jedi, who committed those horrors, so what else could she expect of them.

"No, you may not. I don't know how you think this goes, but this is the Protectorate, Sith. We do things our own way here." Ayden chuckled in disbelief and contempt. The gall of the Sith... "I reviewed the sensor logs. You tried this same little trick at Carida. You were -at- Carida, leading a fleet against the Republic and the Protectorate forces present. Whatever little tricks you've tried to weave, however clever you think you are, it's all failed." He turned to the Councilor and shook his head. "If all Sith were this deluded and ineffective, we'd have won the war already." He pulled out a data pad and pulled up some relevant data to hand to the Councilor. He had no need to, since the Councilor didn't have any authority on the matter. However, Ayden was in an indulging mood and since the Councilor was already here, he might as well have something to do.

"You'll be moved to a secure facility on Hoth where you will be held and interrogated, until such a time as you provide us with meaningful information, reform, or expire. In all likelyhood, you'll see the end of your days on Hoth. And I wouldn't be to expecting of a rescue attempt. The Sith abhor failure, and that is exactly what you've done." He tapped on his wrist device for a moment before turning to the Councilor. "Unless you have something to add, Councilor, we'll begin out-processing to get her transported to Hoth within day's end."

[member="Darth Banshee"] statements were invalid. Looking over the document Brad could see just that. “Miss Katass your questions and comments are arbitrary. The Lord Protector here. The only fact he needs to detain you is that you were a enemy combatant during the time of war. The fact that he provided evidence was not a courtesy for you.”

“Thank you Lord Protector”, Brad handed the data pad back to [member="Ayden Cater"].

There was something Brad did have to add. It could be something or it could be nothing. Still the he felt complied to let Ayden know. “I do have one thing to add Lord Protector”, Brad looked at the ysalamir at the top of the cage. A fact everyone in the room knew it to be there and it rendered Force Abilities mute. Then Brad looked to the holo security camera in the corner of the room.

Then again this could be something, “Talking with the prisoner I had asked her a relatively simple question. The answer I got was quite interesting. What the prisoner failed to know is I did not need the use of the Force to deduce if someone is possibly lying to me. She claims her black eye and her bloody lip is from the battle on Naboo, yet it had been days since the battle. Not to mention there was subtle unconscious tells in her expression that lead me to the possibility of her lying. A Sith lying is not surprising but the circumstance is. Why would she need to lie about that? Is she trying to protect someone here? Or is she trying to hide something? It maybe something or it may be nothing. This is your poisoner. I just may you would want to know she might be up to something. You can always check the security feed and watch the holo tape if your curious.”

She looked at them both in contempt, how dare they accuse her war crimes. Also that lawyer was still getting her name wrong, it was kotass not katass. Then his lord protector, decide to insult her. The was one thing though, the sith where winning this war. Yet they had failed grasp the very fundamental, of the one sith order. They where all linked to their dark master, when she took her tittle she was given a tattoo of their order. Her`s was in her scalp, it linked her to dark order. She knows she not been forsaken, as he love all his children. Then again a Jedi would never understand that.

Then the lawyer spoke, about her injuries. She new the man would cover his tracks, well she presumed he would have. Do what you want, it seems the rule law, has not found a home here. She was having problem with being called a war criminal, as she done her up most not to kill civilian unlike her enemies.

He shrugged. "It's not a care of mine why a Sith has a bloody lip or a black eye, nor is it a care of mine why anyone who would attack the Protectorate display any manner of injury." Ayden was utterly unfeeling to the Sith's plight or condition. "On the off chance that she knows anything of value, she'll be sent to Hoth for interrogation. Any data she gives us will be cross-checked with our own intel. Anything that clears the first pass will be put under a second check. Any intentional lies will be punished." He briefly looked at her with malice before speaking in a surprisingly cold voice. "If she doesn't know anything then we'll simply kill her. I'll not waste Protectorate credits, manpower, and resources to keep one of them alive when they would certainly never do the same were the situations reversed."

 

[Darth Banshee]

She looked at the Jedi and then [member="Ayden Cater"], and in grimace she said ​So let me get this right, my options are. One die, two get beaten and torchered till I betray my friends. I can't believe you have the gall to call me evil. She knew she had to find away off this planet, and out this prison while she still had the strength to do so. Otherwise she would buried on hoth, and that was not something she wanted to do.
