G Corp. Head Manager: Outis's Story

Please state the corporate entities that colluded with you in the war.

…F Corp, and E Corp.

…Any others?

The child was vexed by the question, especially so, as she knew that having the expected answer come out of her mouth would put her standing in jeopardy.

…The old L Corp.

What you've just testified would signify that you fought alongside the instigator of the war. Do you admit this?

I was only following G Corp's orders as an employee - !

Manager Outis, please.

Annoyed by the child speaking out of turn, the judge lifted a hand to stop her from further interruption.

…Manager Outis.

Listen, the war has ended. Furthermore, it was your side that won.

G Corp. acquired what it sought: decades' worth of energy from byproducts of the smoke.

This court is not being held to find you responsible or punish you. Do you understand?

"As if." The child thought to herself.

The victory of G Corp's alliance does not mean that its influence extends to the whole City.

Rather, it comes with a problem: As the war involved the inextricably intertwined interests of several Wings, the victor will need its justifications.

For those sorts of matters… the obvious move for a company would be to appear as innocent as possible in the public eye by reprimanding an easy target…

"…And that's why I'll be thrown to the wolves." She concluded.

…I understand, your honor.
