They bring her to a room adjacent to the main court room where a bunch
of important-looking people in suits are waiting for her. They introduce
themselves and they all, including herself, sit down around a somewhat
large table. One of the suits takes the word:< br / >
< span class = "comment" > Does that work in English?< / span > < br / >
< span class = "quote speech" > Under normal circumstances, robbery,
compromising operationally critical systems, and conspiracy of terrorism
would land you in < span class = "comment" > jail? prison?< / span > for a long
time. We' re willing to make an exception here since you caused rather
little actual harm – if you are willing to accept this deal...< / span >

accused of and you will get to leave Sunside Cove. You' ll be free
as long as you never come back.< / span > < br / >

removing her from the city< br / >
Are they going to honor it?

Note: It was always intended that at least some of the rebels who got
caught will be released to the outside. However, before starting this
chapter, I have never actually considered what this means for the rest
of the story. The following chapters weren' t originally written
with this in mind and may need to be revised to take it into account.
