Digital Scales of Justice
by Mike Pollock
“The N.E.T. rests its case.”
The agency prosecutor nodded towards the juror’s box before returning to its
seat. ‘Gordon’ swallowed as she stood; she took a major risk
representing herself.
“Your honor,” ‘Gordon’ began, also casting a nod toward the
jurors box, “I begin by saying I didn’t do it.”
Just then, video from Hazen’s VR feed swam with static, leaving her with
nothing but her avatar’s audio.
“How does the Jury find the defendant, Hazen Gordon, on the single count of
impersonating a N.E.T. agent?” The Judge asked.
“Guilty.”
Hazen cursed as her feed was terminated.
