"Based on that evidence?" He chuckles. "The judge would probably be lynched if he tried to pass down a guilty verdict based on that. Besides, whoever said that it was the idiot who planned this thing? Remember, the plot's success hinged on us knowing that he planted the evidence.""Only an idiot or a fanatic would have a plan based on their own death."
He probably meant to bribe the judge and jury.
"It would make more sense if he had big bribes ready, honestly."
Darius shakes his head "Mr.Lorenzo, your over thinking things. The man planted the evidence an wanted to bribe the judge. We both know the judge would be lynched If there was NO evidence...so Cascassi planted evidence. As Iawyer you must know how much can be gotten out of bad evidence...that and I know of the man. He is a coward and would not risk his life, He probally did not expect the doctor to have a spark." The old soldier says shaking his head "It is wiser to find all three pieces of evidence (how did I know that?) and move on to more important things, like finding where These monsters Come from and dealing with them." Darius chuckles "You know, What this entire experiment was actually started for?""Based on that evidence?" He chuckles.

"You could absolutely be convicted on murdering Cacassi. Although now that I think of it, now would be a good time to practice Bound powers." Albert said.Doctor Hematite looks up from his modifications, saying "Eh? I wasn't planning on firing unless the hit squads got here before we'd gotten rid of that garbage. That said, I do have Cacassi's position locked into the targeting system."
Closing the panel on his modified machine, the Doctor notes "Anyway, if your other side has whispered any new information to you about this plot to have me arrested, I would like to know."
Crap, crap, crap, stop the Doctor now, the evidence sucks, the plan is to have him murder the culprit in rage, that's what he'll be charged with. OK, going now. He runs inside yelling "Stop the machine! Don't kill Cacassi! It's a trap!"
Mina curses. "Oh for--but then who made him the fall guy? Or is that just the contingency plan?
"Can you give me the bastard's location? I can keep an eye on him if need be." Or some teeth, but that's for later.

Elizabeth uses her power to find where each of the items are and then where the monsters come from."It is wiser to find all three pieces of evidence (how did I know that?) and move on to more important things, like finding where These monsters Come from and dealing with them." Darius chuckles "You know, What this entire experiment was actually started for?"
Meanwhile at the Cacassi Manor"You could absolutely be convicted on murdering Cacassi. Although now that I think of it, now would be a good time to practice Bound powers." Albert said.
Albert invokes the TROPE: Hoist by His Own Petard on Cacassi.

Doctor Hematite nods, before saying "Well, now that we probably aren't in danger of being thrown in jail on spurious charges, I think we can all think about getting some sleep. I'll personally be retiring to my personal dwelling just south of the city, while there will probably be someone coming by in a few minutes to show you to your new headquarters.""He's rich, he'll probably do five years under house arrest." Mina shrugs. "It's a good start, though.
"So now that the idiot is dealt with, what do we do next?"
"Well, no reason to wait. Let's go." He strides out to the bus.Doctor Hematite nods, before saying "Well, now that we probably aren't in danger of being thrown in jail on spurious charges, I think we can all think about getting some sleep. I'll personally be retiring to my personal dwelling just south of the city, while there will probably be someone coming by in a few minutes to show you to your new headquarters."
As Doctor Hematite goes about undoing his alterations to the Binding Device, he adds in "Also, Mina, it would probably be wise to be a bit more subtle when it comes to your opinion on politics."
Sure enough, about fifteen minutes later, a bus pulls up, ready to bring you to your new base.
Before Doctor Hematite left, Darius told him that one of the incriminating evidence was hidden inside of his house, in his restroom, in a cabinet under the sink.Doctor Hematite nods, before saying "Well, now that we probably aren't in danger of being thrown in jail on spurious charges, I think we can all think about getting some sleep.

Darius moves a little in place and says "Wel to be fair, I was the one who called her out on it. I have seen many of her...politcal leaning so I could spot it more easily. Other might not have this skill.""You're the only ones I trust with it, and only because you're already associated with me. Well, that and the fact that I can walk out of any prison on the planet now."
She grins and saunters onto the bus, then closes her eyes. "It's been a long day. Wake me when we get there or something interesting happens, hmm?"
Elizabeth should have expected that.Monster Origin Point: E̢͟͠͞Ŗ̷̨R̵̡Ơ̵̶͘Ŕ͘̕͟: OUTSIDE ACCESSIBLE REALITY SET...

What? Is Elizabeth even needed here?"My Evv'See, who thinks it's an odd term, by the way, says he's already handled Cacassi." Albert said, giving the Doctor a grin.
"He adds, go watch his trial!"

He has no clue how he knows this and how it got their, but beter to inform the doctor.

"Miss Elizabeth! How are you? You've been remarkably silent about this whole affair. Do you have any thoughts or opinions?" He verbally pokes at the mostly silent subject. "Do you need anything?" He quirks his brow.
Darius look to Elizabeth and says "You look worried girl, are you worried about something? You seemed rather worried since I mentioned...miss Lankins views..." Darius sighs "Come sit next to me girl, we need a talk. I my thoughts about your origins are correct, I can understand why you are worried. However, it is wiser for you to have the full picture." Darius says, patting the seat next to him. Darius sitting in front (why walk farther back and let his leg hurt more?) looks backwards to where Mina sits with Typhon on her lap, both sleeping (He can only assume Mina is sleeping, as her state would make pretend sleep easy).Elizabeth should have expected that.
What? Is Elizabeth even needed here?
Elizabeth really isn't needed here.
All that drama and now he's just dismissing them? Elizabeth's shoulders tighten indignantly from the exhausted slump they were falling into.
Is no one worried about the revolutionary in their midst?
Elizabeth wonders if this is a situation where the power of trust and friendship triumph over all and decides that it certainly isn't.
She breathes a sigh of relief; she never figured out trust and friendship.
Unfortunately, that leaves her with the same terrible dilemma.
Surely, reporting Miss Lankin to the police and having an enraged shapeshifting monster as her mortal nemesis would be less dangerous than being a pawn for her cunning ploys and mindless hatred?
However, all the more vocal members of the group she is currently a part of seem to accept having a Token Evil Teammate, so arranging the revolutionary's removal may cause them to disapprove of Elizabeth. That would ... not be good.
...
Elizabeth decides she'll have to wait for an opportunity to change things.
Elizabeth gets on.
Darius looks sideways then says "Tough shit young man, should have thought this through better. The doctor gave full disclosure, this your own fault. However, as you can see Miss Mana and Mr. Jericho are gone. They left because they lost their power, their See'Vee lost interrest. In otherwords, dear boy, be as uninterresting as possible. If not that, the doctor said the See'Vee are balancing on the fourth wall, to much of them into this world they burn our brains out and are banished. To much of our wil to? They are pushed out." Darius stand then, on his full high, at this point having to look down to look the other man into the eyes "So if you want it gone, grow a spine and throw it out through force of wil, that is the way BOY!" Then Darius sits down. "Now if you excuse me, I want to have conversation with Miss Arche, if at all possible."Rannoch steps toward Darius. . . "I'm curious if you would know any way to get our Esvee out of our heads? I suddenly regret very much allowing such a perverted and disgusting creature inside of my soul. I can hear it talking about eating souls, whatever that means. I can't tell if it, or he or she is joking, or maybe just exaggerating through hyperbole or something."
"Please, get it out!"
