[^] What reason would I have to do that? ][
>> As has already been stated, your motives are not relevant at this time. Did you call out to them? <<
[^] This tribunal already has all the evidence necessary to discern the answer on its own. ][
>> If that were true, this tribunal would not have been convened. Again, did you call out to them? <<
[^] Would you have called out to them? ][

>> This tribunal acknowledges your admission of guilt. <<
[^] Was that ever in doubt?
Might I suggest a more fruitful use of cycles, such as a plan for addressing signs of rampancy in this Assembly's senior – ][
>> This tribunal is now closed. <<
