Isabelle!
Lucas!
I got banished.
- Wait what?
- The guard in front of her turns around:
+ What...?
+ The guard behind Isabelle gives her a stern look, the one in front of her
+ turns around:
No chit-chat, move along.
Isabelle takes a moment to understand the implication of what Lucas had
said.
...ohhhhh. Congrats!
- The guards grab her by the arms and drag her away from his cell.
- Move.
- Lucas:
- Good luck with your trial!
+ The guards grab her by the arms and drag her away.
+ Move.
+
+ 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:
+ Does that work in English?
+ Under normal circumstances, robbery,
+ compromising operationally critical systems, and conspiracy of terrorism
+ would land you in jail? prison? 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...
+
+ He grabs few sheets of paper from his bag
+ Aktentasche? and slides them over.
+ Basically admit to everything you're
+ accused of and you will get to leave Sunside Cove. You'll be free
+ as long as you never come back.
+ She absentmindedly acknowledges what he said as she is already reading
+ the first page.
+ Isabelle questions the deal.
+ What about bogus charge xyz? take it or leave it
+ What are they trying to get out of this deal? avoiding controversy and
+ removing her from the city
+ 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.
