Transcript

[[Juni watches a recording of Ed Lombard's testimonial; screen captions read Edward Lombard and Recording: 423:87]]
Arbiter: Did you direct Agent Harris in the assault on Officer Melrose?
Ed: I directed her to miss.
Arbiter: Why?
Ed: That breezing eunuch asked me to... convinced me to, somehow.
Ed: It said Haring was experimenting on it, needed a motive to escape the South.
Arbiter: Did Officer Melsore describe the nature of these "experiments?"
Ed: Juni said they were because of the Homin, that Haring wanted to discredit it before it could prove something about the world.
Arbiter: And you believed it?
Ed: Juni showed me... things, devices. They looked foreign. Alien. And Juni seemed to know what it all was.
Ed: But no, I didn't believe it.
Ed: And then it told me that if I didn't help that we would be doomed, and it would forget everything. But I decided not to do anything.
Ed: Then it went to the hospital and I got orders to distract it. So I acted.
Ed: But Juni still forgot and it left me here to rot.
Juni: That's enough.
