[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Mortis] In a recent trip to noids, Suuub abandoned silent attack after he fell to go to wendies.

[Haengemie] John Junkar, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[John Junkar] I was in the noids when Silent Attack fell
[John Junkar] It was obvious that to rescue him would be difficult
[John Junkar] Suuu'ub immediately decided that it was too hard and that Silent Attack should depart
[John Junkar] I have seen much worse situations there where comrades have stood by their friends and effected a rescue.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[John Junkar] All that was required was patience and the mounting of a rescue
[Haengemie] Thank you, John Junkar
[Haengemie] Suu'ub, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Suu'ub] We were coming up from S pass. SA wanted to go to noids. We went, he fell. I try to keep my departs to a minimum...
[Suu'ub] I don't know where in the magical CL book of laws it says "All members of a party must stay with the fallen"
[Suu'ub] It was his idea and he fell
[Suu'ub] Numerous people left.
[Suu'ub] I have 10 histia.
[Suu'ub] I shouldn't have even been there
[Suu'ub] I don't know what the deal is with this "for his own gain"
[Suu'ub] I had to leave for OOC reasons.
[Suu'ub] In fact, I was 2 steps away from library
[Suu'ub] When I got this nice teleporting message
[Suu'ub] I'll call Mug
[Suu'ub] witness: Mug
[Haengemie] Thank you, Suu'ub
[Haengemie] Mug, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Mug. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinent facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Mug, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Mug] I was there at the time...
[Mug] SA did fall, in a very bad spot
[Mug] I tried to chain him out but he was falling to fast into the pit
[Mug] it was obviose that us as a group would not be able to get him
[Mug] by the time that Suuub and I had left SA had already departed
[Mug] That is All
[Mug] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Mug
[Haengemie] Mortis, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Mortis] There is no law it is true, but to abandon a comrade with out even trying to help is beyond cowerdly. Rather than spend the time helping he elected to go kill wendies
[Mortis] There is no law it is true, but to abandon a comrade with out even trying to help is beyond cowerdly. Rather than spend the time helping he elected to go kill wendies
[Mortis] It is true mug was there and left to but he was at least willing to try and rescue him. Suub convinced the others it wasnt worth the time.
[Mortis] Suuub is a respected group of the comunity and should know better, the fact he would abandon someone like that is sickining
[Mortis] he did not depart till he was told they elected to leave
[Mortis] witness: SilentAttack
[Haengemie] Thank you, Mortis
[Haengemie] Silent Attack, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Silent Attack. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinent facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Silent Attack, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Silent Attack] I departed because mortis had ssed me...
[Silent Attack] he told me that suu'ub had convinced them to leave
[Silent Attack] suu'ub left cause he cares about himself
[Silent Attack] and not others...
[Silent Attack] and mortis kept asking if i was alright...
[Silent Attack] as a comrad should do
[Silent Attack] suu'ub could have said why he was leaving, and leave alone..
[Silent Attack] instead of convincing others to leave
[Silent Attack] so that he could continue to gain ranks
[Silent Attack] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Silent Attack
[Haengemie] Suu'ub, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Suu'ub] It was HIS choice to go to noids, therefore he is liable.
[Suu'ub] I was actually the third to leave
[Suu'ub] I convinced no one.
[Suu'ub] I stayed as long as I felt was needed
[Suu'ub] I am not obligated to stay.
[Suu'ub] To prove that I convinced no one
[Suu'ub] ....

[Kardia] ok
[Kardia] Ok--
[Kardia] I was waiting to see if Silent Attack had departed--
[Kardia] He tells me that "I'm near the little column thingie"
[Kardia] (or something like that)
[Kardia] Then I get a message a lil later
[Kardia] "I departed"
[Kardia] I left
[Kardia] By my own will
[Kardia] Not because Sub decided "let's go"
[Kardia] Besides
[Kardia] Not that suu' would've helped SA any
