Other Matters (Open)

Aaron couldn't believe he was 'back' here. First, he was sentenced to prison and then bailed out by Maximus. Now he was being tried once again for letting out some humans with another human named Eve. In the process of releasing those humans, he found an ape-raised equal. Although, Olivia was younger than he, she was still an ape-raised human. Aaron felt that he was doing things the right way by breaking Olivia out of a cage in a human district. He could argue with the Council by saying that she was too young to be given any choice between an apprentice or pet. It was every ape-raised humans' right as a citizen. He would rather be noble than not. So his thoughts were only on equality.

He wondered if Zaius would be present to 'discuss' his apprentice as well. But that wasn't something he was prepared to 'endure'. Well, this case was about ape-raised humans more than pets. He hadn't really set humans free. He had nothing on him like a pole. The hack of the cage Olivia was in was easy since Rowan's code worked in several districts. It wasn't odd that he recalled all the numbers in his head. He had met Rowan and Bartu when he wanted to go horseback riding. He hadn't showed up for that day since he met two Council-members that day. Then after a rocky lesson, Aaron went to Norrix to ask if he had what it took to be in the Army. Upon arrival, it seemed that the gorillas were too busy or something, so now he went back to Maximus and Zaius. There were 'holes' because sometimes, not every ape kept track of every ape-raised human in their free time.

Aaron was in a private courtroom, Kratos really didn't want the media to discover it. It really could place ape-raised humans in a bad place. Perhaps even draw out that title and have all humans as pets. It was a possibility that Kratos would secretly attempt to do.

Annoyed, exhausted, Kratos storms through the two doors. Once he received word that humans had been set free over the weeks, it fired him up, forcing him to take action. However, after discovering it had been a ape-raised, it was a cringy thought.

Loudly he placed himself in the largest, highest seat. He took one glance at Maximus, who's likely to defend as it was custom. Not all the council can go for one side. He sighs, 'gently' slamming the cube onto the pristine tabletop. "Alright, alright," he grunts.

He scowls down after reading the reports. "Aaron, many witnesses spotted you through the streets with the runaway humans," he sighs, "we'll review the footage. I want your side of the story first." He grimaces, snarling coldly, "I hope this all is a misunderstanding."
