1 A Trial

Year 3019

Earth

In headquarters of United Worlds Federation, there was a solemn air as a group of 50 or so armed soldiers armed with Laser Blasters walked towards the courthouse surrounded by crowd of news reporters and onlooker staring at a man in the center of the soldiers with a look of anxiety, fear with a mix of anger and hope. The man in question was walking with chained limbs in chains of Mithril nanotubes.

When the entourage entered the courthouse, the man was caged in a cage large enough for an adult man to stand. The escorting soldiers let out a sigh of relief as the cage doors are locked.

Then the judge entered the hall and took the seat while saying "let the trial begin" but there was a difference in this trial as there was no defender and no jury as if it was a casual meeting to decide the punishment of a troublesome kid, not a trial but it was far from one, very-very far as this was the trial of federation's most wanted, evil scientist Dr.Alfie Cornel.

"This man, Dr.Alfie Cornel is brought here to be prosecuted for his acts against the whole humanity, the whole federation itself" growls the prosecutor with anger in his eyes he asks Dr.Cornel "Will you plead guilty for your crimes?"

Prosecutor again asked "Will you accept that you committed genocide in name of science, for your own research you slaughtered 1.2 billion people by conducting human experiments, gene alteration, and human cloning. Do you accept that you Dr.Cornel wiped out more than 1% of all humanity just for your inhumane research, do you accept that you one of the most acclaimed people in scientific community 70 years ago slaughtered so many people, just so you can increase your life span."

"It doesn't matter if he accepts or not, today he will be sentenced not to death but a punishment worse than death" sad a man from the crowd.

"Yeah, he should be given a life worse than death" talks of this nature soon started but work cut short by a snort from the judge.

"We are aware that he committed such atrocities just to be able to live longer, just so that he can have a life span longer than 200 years and to be able to increase his life span up to 500 years which shown from his research data as such Dr.Alfie Cornell is sentenced to life in prison, to live the rest of his life in solitude without any human interaction but as his research can help humanity as a whole the federation has come to the decision of giving him a merciful 'death' if he chooses to give his whole research Data to federation."

"Haha ha...…" a burst of maniacal laughter can be heard full of killing intent that came from the cage.

"I, Alfie Cornel never heard such a farce in 169 years of my life. Those old fogeys a federation wants my research then they can do their own cause I Alfie Cornel will never surrender no relinquish even a single penny of mine let alone my research, the fruit of decades of my hard work even if you with me apart."

"You want me to plead guilty just for killing a mere 1.2 billion people, the let me ask you, kid, will you ask the same question when federation wipes out entire planets to test their weaponry or subjugate entire species, will you ask the same when federation rallies billions to their death in wars in the name of patriotism or just so that the elders of the federation can have few resources or test subjects"

"Do they plead guilty or are they caged? No. Just because I was in possession of something they want but they can't have, the cage me."

"Now tell me where is that bitch, tell me where is Sofia? Where is that backstabbing bitch hiding now? Tell me how much did she get for selling me out? How much did you promise her for giving you that incomplete data" He shouted hysterically.

The judge reprimanded coldly "it's not your place to accuse others, this is your trial as for Lady Sofia, she is given the reward she deserves for informing the federation about you and your atrocities" he continued "Now that you have made it clear that you do not intend to provide your research data to the federation then you can't be shown any mercy."

"This court sentence Dr.Alfie Cornell to life in prison so he can live his wretched life in solitary confinement without any possibility of parole. You will be administered stone fish poison on daily basis so that you can feel the pain of your victims every day of your life for the rest of your days and regret that the life you cherished so much will turn into hell and even if you wish to die it will not come as your body that you got from your research will not let you die"

"This case is closed and the sentence will not change until the guilty submit the research that he completed by committing such atrocities" the judge says solemnly before leaving the courthouse.

The cage was then opened and Alfie is taken to the prison escorted by the soldiers.
