Transcript For Strip 2016

Panel 1
On Bok, full panel

Bok: And so the Arbs reviewed Diana's new evidence, as did Miller.
Bok: Over the three-day break they both asked Diana, through Montoya, for some clarifying details, which she provided through the same channel.
Bok: Finally, on the 4th of Nuntiary, 1071, the hearing reconvened, and the decisions rendered.
Panel 2
Re-establishing the scene … the Arbs at their bench, with the complainants and observers assembled.
Arb Andrews: Since council for De Castries, et al, have declined to rebut the additional evidence, we will proceed directly to our decisions.
Arb Sandini: Our primary concern must be the protection of life, liberty, and property from unjust infringements.
Arb Feingold: Our social order cannot endure on the basis of who can amass the greater personal army.
Panel 3
Angled shot on the Arbs.
Arb Andrews: While Senhoras Roaz and Martelli were at that time without a contracted defensive agency, Roaz still had the option of acting as her own agency and negotiating with Gianturco Guarantia, de Castries' agency, for a search .
Arb Feingold: She did not even seem to consider that option, but charged in with guns blazing.
Arb Sandini: Even a 'Pillar of Bubbleopolis' is subject to the same laws as everyone else.
Panel 4
On Diana and Alyss & friends, looking unhappy.
Arb Sandini: Still, the exigent circumstances are a mitigating factor.
Arb Sandini: Therefore we find that Roaz owes de Castries only for the damage to his building and costs incurred defending same. 19,000 Moebits.
Arb Sandini: Likewise, the agents of Gianturco Guarantia who sustained injuries defending that building are owed, collectively, 6,000 Moebits.
