Graves looked at the stacks of files relating to the hearing. He turned to his fellow Guildmasters.
They looked anxiously at the vast amount of paperwork they had to read and sign.
"It would appear that these large sessions involving all Guildmasters make too many demands on our time."
"Therefore, I propose that the Guildmasters for each region deal with offenses in their own jurisdictions in a more informal manner as and when such incidents occur. Summary justice should save us fees for all these photocopying."
"We shall reserve Council meetings for matters of more general importance. Unless there are any objections, I will consider this organisational matter closed."
"As to the present case, the accused has completed his psych evaluation, and after a short stay on Baden-Baden is ready to re-commence duty."
"I believe all our Core operatives may be susceptible to psychic stress caused by the brutal nature of the Omicron Wars and the invasive nature of Nomad mind-atacks. Our research division, headed by the eminent Rheinlander, Professor Franckelin Von Stein, will be operating in Dabadoru. As well as being a leading expert on Nomad research, he is also a practicioner of Jungenfreundenel MetaCognitivePsychAnalysis. He will be available for consultations. I cannot stress too greatly the need for level heads in the Omicrons, given the tenuous nature of our foot-hold there."
Graves closed the folder.
"Now I wish you all a safe journey back home. I would ask you to consider a candidate for the second Rheinland seat in your own good time."
