![]() ![]() In a dark Tiresian alleyway, Rebecca Nicks recognizes the soldier before her as the man who stole Lang's Delta Fighter prototype and tried to help Minmei escape the planet. As the council members disperse, Lang approaches Edwards. She suggests a short recess, adjourning the hearing until 19:00 hours. Edwards begins to approach Wolff, but Huxley slams down her gavel and demands order. but this war is winnable for those with the courage to fight it!" Wolff says. ![]() still hold the Local Group in a grip tyranny! Tyranny that will reach Earth if we don't stop them here! You may not be at war with them, but they are at war with us. #Robotech ii exedore trial" Edwards interrupts, reminding him that the Invid are not on trial here. We've freed Karbarra, Garuda, and most recently Haydon IV, but the fight is far from over. Since then we have continued our campaign to liberate the planets of the Local Group from the Invid. If I had not taken the SDF-7 to rescue them, they all would have died. Praxis was destroying itself because of an unfathomable experiment conducted by the Invid, you refused to send help for fear of antagonizing the Regent at the peace talks. They were stranded there after a surprise Invid attack destroyed the Farrago. "It was absolutely necessary in order to save the lives of Admiral Hunter and the Sentinels at Praxis. #Robotech ii exedore full"I realize that, your honor, and although I take full responsibility for it, I do not regret taking such action, for this council gave me no choice," Wolff explains. Shortly, Huxley reminds Wolff that the charge he admits to, theft of an REF vessel, is a serious act. My lab is standing by to receive the monopole and we can get on with the repairs." Breetai agrees, and Huxley rules it so. "If Breetai is willing to hand over the ore at this time, I think we could see our way to reducing the charge to midirection of REF property and mark the whole affair down as a miscommunication between species. ![]() Lang suggests that they could make a new agreement with Breetai. Ours! By a previously arranged agreement! You promised the ore and then you took it!" Breetai plays dumb, suggesting that he may have misunderstood. " Edwards leaps to his feet and says that's a mere technicality. "I do." One of the senators tells him that the trajectory records and cargo scans state otherwise, but Breetai argues that in order for him to steal the ore, the REF would have had to have had possession of it. Huxley asks Breetai if he maintains his innocence of the charge. The next charge is the theft of the monopole ore. Are we to believe Colonel Wolff strangled a being four times his own height with his bare hands?" With these points taken, Huxley orders the charge dropped. Death was caused by asphyxiation from a crushed windpipe. "Furthermore," Lang says, "the Regent is twenty-five feet tall and weighs over five tons, there are no invasive wounds on the body. "Impossible, General," Lang says as he enters his own data card into evidence containing records that reveal that Wolff was in his office from 21:45 to 22:10, within the time of death given by the medical examiner. In any case, it appears the Regent constructed a clone of himself and sent 'it' in his place to the peace talks." General Edwards leaps to his feet and says this is beside the point, that it Wolff still thought it was the genuine Regent and killed it. "It is possible that the Invid developed a cloning technology of their own," he says, "or stole it from the Robotech Masters when they conquered Tirol. Exedore reminds them that his people, the Zentraedi, are clones. Lang suggests to the council that the being that was aboard the SDF-3 during the peace talks was not, in fact, the real Regent. Huxley asks him to explain, and he hands an aide a data card filled with images provided by the Haydonites' surveillance systems - images of the Regent's fleet in orbit around the planet and of the Regent himself on the planet's surface. When asked why this is, Wolff tells the council that the Invid Regent isn't dead. "The charges of treason and conspiracy are completely groundless and the charge of murder is totally non sequitur and unapplicable," Wolff tells the council. Wolff, speaking for the three, admits to the theft of the SDF-7, but pleads not guilty to the rest of the counts. Chairman Justine Huxley of the REF council asks the accused how they plead. "Summit" Story & Art - John Waltrip & Jason WaltripĬover date - October 1996 THE STORY In a makeshift courtroom within the Tiresian Royal Hall on Tirol, Jonathan Wolff, Vince Grant, and Breetai stand accused of high treason against the REF, conspiracy, theft of the SDF-7 and the monopole ore, sabotage of the peace talks between the REF and the Invid, and the murder of the Invid Regent. ![]()
