Cerantia wrote:"Eugene Tentones, formerly Cerce Eugene Tentones VII, you have been called before a court of the Senate, an offbranch of Cerantian law, under the terms of: embezzlement, false representation," the Highest Senator, Gregory Longbottom of No Clan, paused; "and conspiracy against the Empire of Cerantia in an attempt to undermine it's goals. How do you plead?"
Cerce (now demoted to Eugene) Tentones stood at a rigid attention, his face with no emotion on it. "Guilty."
The Senate room was completely quiet. Maria's face went completely white.
NomaNick Carver was nowhere to be found.
Gregory looked completely stunned. Then he cleared his throught; "Well. Let the reccords show that he has pleaded guilty. Now, please, may the court present it's knowledge on the subject."
Joan of Clan Aera (she had no appointed last name - a war orphan of one of Cerantia's rare internal civil wars) had been appointed as persecuter. "The first charge against Eugene mentioned was embezzlement. This reffers to a time during the Atlamic-Cerantian war when you purchased 15 units of an Outsider class of tanks withought the approval of the Senate. How do you plead directly to this accusation?"
"Inocent. Reason for saying this is that it was personal spending and that the men working said units were mercenaries also bought specifically by me."
Joan nodded, and said, "A formal investigation into this will be looked into. For the seccond accusation, the false representation, it is known that you had written to Tyeirian forces describing yourself as 'Cerce' when, in fact, you had been impeached by the Senate earlier that day. How do you plead?"
"Inocent. Reason for saying this is that the message, to my knowledge, was sent aproximately 57 secconds before my impeachment."
"But that's impossible - have I been halucinating, or were you at the impeachment at that time?"
Eugene smirked. "Yes, I was. Apparently, someone was mascerading as me." He looked at Nick's empty seat, and smiled.
Joan continued, "And for the third accusation, you were conspiring against Cerantia. This is in your transmition to Tyeirian forces using the Outsider means of 'binary code'. How do you plead?
Eugene said, "Guilty."
All the while, Harmon Julie tried to keep his facts straight. But the last statement surprised him. The sender never specified who he was, if I recall... only 'I'... maybe they translated it wrong... maybe it said 'Cerce', but even then, technicallities would have suggested that it took place after impeachment, and he was no longer 'Cerce'... Why doesn't he stand up and say something, he knows just as much as I do...
Then he had the courage to stand up and talk. Just as he was about to hit the 'Interrupt' button, Eugene cought his eye.
He shook his head.
Meanwhile, Joan was speaking again, "Then by the power vested in me by the Cerantian government, I hereby sentence you to imediat death by decapitation."
Then Gregory Longbottom spoke up, "And, seing as how there is no heir present, the Senate will assume coma-"
"What the hell do you think I am, then?" said Maria, "A bystander? No, I too carry the title of Cerce should Eugene be removed from such title, and that title belongs to me by right of marriage! This is treason against the throne!"
Gregory smirked at this. "What throne? I was under the interpretation that the last Cerce was removed."
Maria fumed, "The last Cerce stands before you - and he has not yet decided if his wife will precede him as Empress."
Gregory still had that diabolical smirk on him, "Do you have the mariage papers of authintication?"
Maria replied, "Of course, I do, I carry them to every court heari---" She reached down into her breifcase, and found that they were missing. "I had them here just a seccond ago..."
Gregory's smirk grew, "Well, then let us take a look into the reccords... [5 minutes of pause and searching through files marked 'C, E, T, and M'] It seems that they are not here. Seing that there are no reccords, your claim must be discounted."
"But I have eyewitnesses, they can -"
"As first act as joint leader of Ceratia, I call a vote to discount all eyewitness accounts from here on out. All in favor, say aye."
2/3rds of the required senate leaders yelled 'Aye', as the rest threw up accusations and threats and yells.
"Then, I'm affraid, Maria No Spouse Tentones, you are dismissed from this Senate, as it is obvios that you are not allowed here, seeing that you have no blood ties to the former Emperor, nor do you represent a clan or branch of the government. Security?"
