a text message is sent to Suleiman saying he must either take the post of Field Marshal or find someone better qualified, for the sake of the ummah.
Suleiman would meditate long and hard, and reply "If i am able to continue to learn, so that way I may serve the
ummah, then I accept."
Meanwhile, Aceus seemed to relax. "...She is my daughter, one I thought lost to me..." the Dancerian prince would explain. "Neither myself, nor her Uncle the Kaiser would have
condoned this sort of action. As for my own personal request." he would pause. "The Most I could ask is to take her into custody, as a ward. I will try to keep her on the straight and narrow, and curtail her violent tendencies. But I understand that I cannot just ignore the lives she took, how she acted as a soldier." he would pause, "I ask merely for mercy and care for her, as much that can be administered without diminishing the law. I trust you will do just that."
Looking at Aceus, Judge Dunn smiled slightly as he spoke,
"Aceus, you are clear in your thinking. I can promise you that whatever verdict we deliver will ensure that Erika will remain unharmed. However, like you said, she will have to face the consequences of her action so who knows how severe it will be. in the meantime, if you wish we can have a bed brought down to the cargo hold so that you can be near your daughter until the time of the trial. Currently even we are unsure of where it will take place though. Some bureaucrats in our government want the trial to be performed on the Significance peace ship though all of us judges are in agreement that this is an unwise decision."
At that moment Jennifer Johnson just so happened to be looking for the judges and Ryan McNeil to deliver information regarding a change in plans. As she ran down the corridor towards the cargo hold she heard talking from the engine room and it sounded like the Ambassador she had seen earlier. Opening the door she was shocked to see Ryan rubbing a red throat while Aceus spoke with the five judges.
"Erm... is this a bad time? Aren't you not supposed to talk with the defense team until the actual trial?"
This time Judge Dixon spoke up,
"To put it bluntly Jennifer, yes. We aren't normally supposed to speak with the defense team until the trial. However, since this is a special circumstance we agreed that we would address the defense team beforehand."
Nodding her understanding, Jennifer informed them of the shifting plans.
"If I may interrupt, we just received word from the President's office to proceed with the trial on this ship and not the Significance Ship. Supposedly some bureaucrats were trying to play
trip up the others to rise up the ranks and tried to say that President Sobchak ordered it. We are clear to perform the trial on this ship so when the defense and prosecution teams are ready it can be held."
With that she turned and left while closing the door gently.
"Alright, well that actually solves that issue with having the trial on the Significance Ship. As such we will proceed when you are ready Aceus and Ryan. The prosecutors are already ready for the trial."
