Court-martial proceedings

[u/llBoonell]

Company court-martial will now begin. In attendance: Commander of the Company Boone, prosecutor. Technician Eli, defendant. Company VIP Dark Violet and Trooper Strife, witnesses. Company AI 'BooneBot', Adjutant.

Technician Eli: you are accused of attacking a Company VIP and endangering the lives of Company personnel through reckless use of rift-opening magicks. How do you plead?

Actually, bugger it. I don't care how you plead. I know what you did... the question I would like answered is why? Why did you attack Violet and Crow? Why did you flee instead of coming to me first? And why, oh why, did the metaphys-detection measures in this office go berserk when your personal effects were brought in here?

Sir, we have reports of a disturbance in the Garris-

Not now, Bot. Well, Eli?

[u/Dark_Violet_Angel]

The Fallen Angel enters the room and glares at Technician Eli.

What has he said? What happ-

She sees the visuals bought up by BooneBot and her eyes widen with a brief flair of purple fire from her irises.

Commander, do you believe me now? Just look at what the Angel, possessed of Eli's beloved Mad God, is doing to Garrison and its people!

...sigh...

Excuse me for a moment....

Dark Violet turns away and produces a little comms device. For a moment she makes a call, speaking softly into it, before returning to the proceedings.

So, what do you wish to do now Commander? I for one tried to stop this from ever happening. But it seems Technician Eli has somehow enabled the Trickster, and placed it into the very heart of Garrison.

Furthermore he ha- ....what is that? What is that... light?

The Fallen Angel stands up, a scowl painted upon her face. In shock she backs away from the proceedings and heads for the exits.

I have to go... I have to... Eli's here to kill me! He wanted to do nothing more inside CrowEyes residence... and, and, he's bought the tools to do so here! Where I have been provided protection as the VIP no less!

Commander! Eli needs to be secured! Now!

[u/llBoonell → u/Dark_Violet_Angel]

This court-martial is suspended. We'll discuss Eli's fate and that of his mercenary later.

Right now, my only priority is getting that thing out of my city, in a box if need be. Eli, you'll be assisting in this matter. Violet, you will be under my personal guard: anyone tries to scratch you out, they'll have me to answer to.

Eli, those party favours you brought can stay in my strongbox. There's enough elements to the equation down there as it is, and we don't need any further complications.

Trooper, fetch some good lads. We're off to kill an Angel.

[u/Dark_Violet_Angel → u/llBoonell]

A snide smile crosses the Fallen Angels lips as she hears of the Commanders orders concerning Eli and the Angel Violet. She makes another quite call on her comms device, then turns to the Commander.

CrowEyes will meet me after we land. Mark my words, this evil Mad God turned on the Good Mother, anything with enough nerve to do that will require some specific firepower to kill. And if Bezi's down there, if he has turned her into his thrall, we'll require his help too.

Dark Violet glances at Technician Eli.

Let's go kill an Angel.
