Considered missing for months, General Ristus was one of the contestants that went MIA when the annual Doombox showdown went awry. Inadvertently rescued when a dimensional invader brought forth by Ristus' own unhinged experiments opened a portal trying to escape a battle! He was arrested when the Ronin made a deal with the Consortium and The Iriorians to end the conflict. Now, The general must stand trial for endangering the already weak and isolated world of Rehinn.
ALL RISE
I Am the Honorable Adjudicator Corva. Guests, Heroes of Rehinn, and Quantum Surfers, we convene today to parse the depth of this man's sins.
I need not speak on how rare it is that the Iriorians take note of the outland power's activities. However, we take the safety of this world extremely seriously. If found guilty today the most severe punishment imaginable will be levied against you Ristus
The charges are as follows.
1. Count of Unauthorized use of interdimensional portal tech
1. Count of Illegal Dimensional R&D in violation of the Isolation Code
5 Counts of accessory to the disappearance of the 5 still missing heroes
14 Counts of Murder, these being the Daucans that came through to Die at your forces hands.
