Republic of Liberty District Court; Case# 822-C-S1-A1-163948-37990

[Miaou]

Merlin sat in one of the seats off to the side of the courtroom. He was allowed to watch the trial due to his request to do so. He was nearly denied access to the courthouse due to his translator drone and the metal plating in this body. After being searched, which was done awkwardly by the court guard, they put him in a side room before clearing him. The guards looked up his record and saw the metal plating was medically needed. After a few shrugs and gestures the officers eventually let Merlin into the courtroom, though his translator drone wasn't allowed to. Merlin nodded in agreement to this. They had no clue what some metal robot could do, and to let it inside a courthouse would be pushing it as it is.

Due to his size, he couldn't quite see what was going on, but he could hear it. It seemed some outrage was going on regarding some silly solar system. He shook his head. It wasn't good to disrespect a courthouse, even Merlin knew that. He wondered what exactly was going on. The person next to him seemed interested in this new occurrence. He had been staring at Merlin the entire time before.

He overheard something about an officer keeping the peace and calming the situation down, so he felt safer. The officers were the only ones legally allowed to have a firearm in a courtroom. Anyone else having even a side arm would be outrageous. Merlin's nose flicked in excitement. He could feel this trial would be good. His hope was that the best outcome for Liberty, his beloved home, would be the sentence.
