Arjun’s betrayal had taught me it was dangerous to think of these things with names, or with animate pronouns. I’d barely been listening to the proceedings until I heard a predator name, announced in calling the next defense witness. Mynek must’ve been paid off or forced to botch my defense. These were intelligent creatures, so they wouldn’t understand a move so dumb. The prosecutors seemed surprised by this too, along with the jury the vicious eyes of the human judges were narrowed with confusion. When I heard that the Venlil lawyer was calling a predator to the stand, in our defense, I was certain he was throwing the case. I could only lament how pitiful my defense was. As I remembered how compelling their weaponized testimonies were. Thyon was seated on a spectator bench, with handcuffs and guards, while Arjun was lounging with his father further back. We strolled back into the courtroom, and I took a last look at my surroundings. “The more I listen to you, I know you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. The Venlil welcomed their occupation it’s your fault they’re not extinct! Their conquest of the galaxy is off to a swift start, because of you.” I know they’re controlling you all, directly or indirectly.

“Ha! You talk as if the herbivores actually have a free voice. Probably some silly prey observer who can understand why you felt justified in killing predators, and won’t hand down the death sentence lightly.” “Fuck if I know why a verdict wasn’t returned within an hour.

The other was a human geneticist lingering on the Krakotl’s shameful past, even though we’re not that species anymore. We only called two witnesses, and one was an old coworker at the guild with nothing of substance to say. “What took them days to deliberate? Your defense was pathetic. “You’re going to remain calm, whatever the sentence is, unless you want to be dragged out in chains,” Mynek stated. My simple logic was too much for a Terran to get through their hunger-riddled mind. With what I knew at the time, the bombing was the right decision it was only the hindsight of an available cure that instilled regret. It wasn’t like a predator judge could understand why I needed to put them and their progeny down. However, I knew that the humans had rigged the outcome from the start. Six herbivore judges would’ve given me hope, since unanimous consensus was a requisite.

What’s taking so long for deliberations? Ah, the illusion of consideration, of course. So the death penalty is allowed today, and Earth is clamoring for my execution. The exact results of lacking self-regulation were clear, from their bloody, primitive past the Federation saw how little they could police their bloodlust without direction. Humans needed a deterrent not to let their instincts take over, or else their entire world would exist as nothing but chaos. One thing the China and United States tribes agreed on was executing war criminals. The “International Criminal Court” had gone back and forth on its stance on the death penalty, at least from the falsified history I’d heard from Mynek. There was no way their society would function in any capacity, if not. Such claims were an obvious cover-up of the rampant executions that occurred on Earth social predators that favored a pack mentality must have a harsh punishment system. When Mynek told me the death penalty was a “controversial” issue on human turf, I found that assertion comical.
