Kriegdiana Chronicles: Requiem of Automotons

Chapter 1

Kriegdian Supreme Court, Aquila City- 9:00 AM

-"So, you have received the documents?"
"Yes, I have. That owl keeps on nipping at me."-
-"Heh, sorry about that, boss. You really owe Zephyr."
"Alright then, thank you for double checking with me."-
-"Anyways, I'll have to hang up, I have to head out to the courtroom in a few seconds."
"Ah, that bites."-
-"I'll talk to you later, goodbye."
"Goodbye."-

The police officer hangs up the conversation with her boss. Due to the severity of the case, the Supreme Judge requested the highest officer to be the Bailiff. That responsibility fell onto none other than the Police Director General Fengbao Zhengyi. She looks over to a blue holographic screen floating beside her. "This one is definitely a doozy..." Fengbao sighs as she closes the screen, making it disappear.
"I thought that you liked murder mysteries." The Supreme Judge snickers as he gathers his documents. Fengbao rolls her eyes at the comment before sighing. Her voice softly echoes throughout the Judge's Chambers. "Your Honor," Fengbao begins, "we are only a few seconds away and all you can do is make snide remarks and fumble around with your documents?"
"Don't be so strict with me, Bao-Bao, I'm only 2,000 years older than you."
The Police Director General sighs once again as she looks back at him. "What did I do to deserve you?" She asks.
"Maybe it's because of your ethereal blue eyes or your soft, wooly tail..." the Supreme Judge suggests, getting the somewhat stoic Director General's face to get a hint of red. "...but I know it's because of your charm and wit." He finishes his flirt. Fengbao, however, was not amused. "That's sweet of you, but we still have a job to do."
"Agreed." A somewhat robotic voice adds. Fengbao looks over to see an android with white hair and orange eyes. "We all must remain professional."
"Yes we need to, Axel." Fengbao agreed before leaving the chambers. The Supreme Judge followed suit. There already was a lot of clamoring in the courtroom, even Fengbao heard it back at the Judge's Chamber. The prosecution was confidently ready as ever while the defense kept to themselves in fear of losing. As soon as Fengbao stepped out, all eyes were on her.
"All Rise."
The court obeyed her by standing up.
"The Supreme Court of Kriegdiana, Criminal Division is now in session. The Honorable Supreme Judge Dreaxuashtir Jinxiros now presiding."
Jinxiros walks out of his Chambers. His tied up white hair flowed along with the robes due to the drafts created by the doors. Despite his age, he still appears to be a man of anyone's dreams. His wings were still out, giving an imposing image to himself, along with his left horn being broken off. Jinxiros adjusts his glasses. "Thank you, you may now be seated." He spoke in a professional tone instead of the playful and flirtatious air he had in his chambers.
"Another disclaimer here: Unless you are the press or the Judicial Archives, we would like any and all recording devices off," Fengbao warns,"otherwise you will be arrested on the spot for exploitation."

Emperor's Office, Volkshalle, Aquila City- 9:15 AM

"My liege, the Brigadier General would like to see you."
"Bring him in."
The emperor let his hand off of the holo-com system. A young blue-haired man stepped in. "Ah, Akiba, just the person I needed to see." The emperor said with a haughty and relieved tone. Akiba stepped in  and stood in front of the emperor's desk. "Why do you need me?" Akiba asked, "Also, can you please turn the lights on, Hollow?"
"Oh, fine!" Hollow complained before turning the lights on, "well you're no fun..."
"The only thing I was able to see was your monocle augment, how can I take you seriously if you're nothing but a red dot?"
"Hehe, I have my ways." Hollow lightly taps on the augment. He then twists the holographic monocle like a dial, making a screen that looks similar to the monocle appear, "Anyways, I'm going to have to ask you for a favor."
"Alright," Akiba obliged without second thought. "What do you need me for?"
"Please be honest with me, you are my right hand man and I need you-"
"Get to the point."
"It's about a...personal project. It went missing."
"...couldn't you have asked the police for help?"
"They wouldn't understand." Akiba narrows his eyes at Hollow's comment.
