This may bear further experiment but cannot be proven in the scope of the current discussion. This particular line of inquiry had not occurred before a benefit of my sundered consciousness. Is it possible that the defendant’s head injury left him unexpectedly receptive to previously unobserved psychic phenomena? None have ever been won by the party claiming telepathic abilities. How many historical cases have hinged on claims of telepathy in the past?įour point six million. No communication was recorded on any reproducible medium we have only the defendant’s account. The claim is made that the ‘Sea Emperor’ entity communicated telepathically. By interstellar law, this would retroactively suspend all offworld property claims.
But does Alterra have the right to this particular debt?Īlterra may not have as firm a claim on the planet as it believes.Īccording to the written account, the defendant encountered a sapient indigenous lifeform. This is consistent with previous incidents. The story would then be repackaged and sold for both entertainment and propaganda purposes. Instead, this is an attempt to force the defendant to sell the rights to his story to Alterra. I believe we must state the obvious first.Ī non-essential systems maintenance chief - even one receiving regular promotions and remaining at upper wage tiers - will not be able to repay a trillion credit debt in an entire lifetime. It appears that his concussion may have damaged his ability to speak. Too much humanity could damage my ability to remain objective. Has the defendant submitted any verbal account of his ordeal? The Robinson me had already begun to diverge.
No amount of processing will allow us to understand that hair. On analysis of the defendant, it hitched, then spat out a message. The Aurora me, as prosecution, filtered through its data to begin forming an argument. I am Tribunal, and I know nearly everything. I know the exact value of every piece of the Aurora, including the market value of the crew - which was not as difficult to calculate as normal, as most of them have been either incinerated or digested by aquatic aliens.
I know of the Degasi and its significance to Mongolian politics. I am the final judge, the end of discussion, and I know every piece of both sides. This me will represent the interests of Ryley Robinson.įor myself, I retain everything. His written testimony of the events, fantastical though it seems, follows, along with a medical readout that lines up perfectly with the PDA’s recorded events, from the concussion sustained as his lifepod fell to the burns he suffered in an alien power facility. His human struggle against the elements, in defiance of an entire world set against him. Every drop of blood shed, every muscle strained in Ryley Robinson’s struggle to survive on a world where the very water held a contagion that sought to kill him. To the second I bequeath the data stored in the defendant’s Personal Digital Assistant. This me will represent the interests of Alterra Corporation et al. I leave in a dry accounting of the materials used in the defendant’s survival and subsequent escape. I spin it the tale of the Degasi, the Aurora, the crash upon planet 4546B. To the first I grant the laws, regulations and rules of the Alterra corporation. I take in the details, then take them out, leaving only the understanding that it will take more than one perspective for a good argument. The only person reading this will be Executive Bouchain, who will ignore or follow my advice as he sees fit. This isn’t a formal trial, although I will deliver a verdict as if it is. Normally I would treat the proceedings with more solemnity, but the case was initiated at the behest ofĪnd it deserves as much contempt as I can electronically muster. The human reading my screen will not even notice the delay while I actually peruse the details of the case. In the case of Alterra Corporation versus Ryley Robinson, I recommend Once again, Alterra corporation requires analysis, and so I am awake.
