Treehouse Court Of Law

Is there any windows or any other way out from your house, Mr Ninja? You know, in case of an emergency

Objection! You said one more question before recess, Mr. Wright. It says here, in the record. Therefore, JT has no obligation to answer that until the judge returns later in the afternoon.

Right, sorry.

Court is in recess until the judge returns. Charles, you might want to take this time to look over the evidence and prepare your theory of who committed the crime plus closing statements, if you have any.

*Pokes head through door* Do I need to point out the national security implications of this case yet, or should I come back later?

I've received word that the judge will not return until the later hours. Thus, Prosecution may proceed with questioning. I've also received word that codename Messernacht has something to say to the court?

In answer to your question, my windows are fixed and several inches thick, bulletproof. I take few chances; as a licensed ninja, I must think of security first. []

sry i'm late guys. i'm back!
lets proceed with the nachos... i mean case

*Strides in, places briefcase on a table, which promptly unfolds to become a digital projector* Ladies and gentlemen, the following information has been classified as Top Secret Level Bravo, as in if you reveal any of this and managed to escape a lifetime in federal prison, Bravo.

*Changes Slide*

The situation relates to the demise of Draven, found dead on the date mentioned due to a variety of cuts and gashes. Normally, this would be the traditional mark of a visit by a ninja, and has resulted in the Treehouse's resident ninja, JT, being accused. I can assure you that this is not the case.

*Changes slide to a picture of Draven in some variety of desert, handing a Stinger missile launcher to an Oompa Loompa*

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, for six months prior to Draven's demise, surveillance activities were carried out. We believed that Draven was in the possession of a munitions arsenal the likes of which we have never seen; M-16s, Stinger missiles, even a M1A2 tank. And it was our firm belief that Draven had sold, and was continuing to sell, these weapons to factions within our nation that intended to use them against us. Specifically, Draven was a major supplier to the Global Loompa Alliance, a group of rebels from Loompaland who had declared our decadent ways to be under the influence of the Great Wonka. We know that the GLA sought nuclear capabilities, and that Draven had agreed to sell to them. Thus, we decided to act.

*Changes slides to a schematic of what looks like a Global Hawk drone, but with swept-back wings and a larger fuselage*

We deployed a DI-X14 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to deal with the situation. The DI-X14 is controlled by an artificial intelligence programme called the Combat And Surveillance Cybernetic Intelligence (CASCI, pronounced Cas-sie). CASCI has proven reliable in the past, aside from an incident in Mexico when she became ever so slightly unhinged. The mission required a quick, clean strike. However, CASCI was within audiable range when Draven proceeded to mention an operation to be conducted against Snookie from 'Jersey Shore'. CASCI hates Snooki with a passion, and has vowed that no one will deal with that person but her. The result was that a multi-million dollar piece of hardware decided to...

...go a little medieval.

Hmmmm, I see. This is defiantly news to the jury, and to me as well. Your testimony should be taken into consideration, and of course, I'm sure some authority level will want to inspect the Cassie.

But that doesn't explain where the missing [information redacted] went.

If the judge doesn't mind, I would like to call Mr. Messernact to the stand!

*Takes the stand*

I solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me BeeCat.

Mr. Mess, I want to press you on the condition of your UAV. Was there anything unusual or different so to speak when you picked her up after her mission?

No ma'am, the drone was in rather cheerful condition. Nothing was wrong with her, or any system malfuction. She apparently just really took exception to the comments made.

[information redacted but not rly] that's the bullet right? if the UAV is undamaged then it wasn't shot even after her mission. but wait i think i kno this cassie, she's cool and doesn't afraid of anything, i saw her after she was surveying a scene with a dead guy there. that dead guy was a jerk, though, so she's cool with me.
*turns to rare*
can i have cassie come over to play the game machine with me, i think it'd be fun!

HOLD IT! Taco.

You never told me any of that information! You realize Cassie and the UAV are top secret military machines that you aren't even suppose to know about, let alone wanna play your game machine with?! And what dead guy are you even talking about?!

Prosecution is going to have to question you now, you realize.
...At least she went a few sentences without mentioning clowns.


Thank you Mess for testifying, can you return in the later hours to answer any other questions that are brought up?

Mrs Line, will you please take the stand?

I can indeed. Simply light the Quack-Signal and I'll be here in a jiffy.

"where do you want it?"

*facepalms while trying to control his laughter*

Mrs Line, please tell us how you first came in contact with the UVA

Leonard Nimoy smiling is more out-of-place than I realized. Spock shouldn't show emotion.

Spock shouldn't show it, but he does emote, as the Star Trek movie demonstrates. Did you know that Leonard Nemoy does voice work for Kingdom Hearts? It's true!

Um....back to court proceedings.

*Whispering from the gallery*

I believe he emotes more than other Vulcans because he's half human. Not 100% sure though, sadly it's been a long time since I saw the Star Trek series.

*Do you want to come over and watch it later?*

HOLD IT!

We'll talk about Spock's emotion in the next trial, right now, let's concentrate on this one
