(The front doors of the Palace slowly creak open by 0 and Rytlock to allow 14 and his men to enter, then they all step inside and begin to stroll up to the throne.  The group of soldiers can see 1, the Governor of New Paris decorated with a black robe accented with red and violet sitting on his throne, next to him is his wife Alpha, a feminine taupe Stitchpunk with long braided dark brown hair dressed in a magenta gown and pastel blue cardigan, casually sewing something.  Sitting next to her is her's and 1's only daughter Amaranthine, a young sand colored Stitchpunk with cocoa brown hair and dressed in a Amaranth pink gown, and she is also sewing. 
14 glances up at the Governor smiling at his family, clearly he hasn't noticed them yet.  The captain clears his throat and the Governor turns his attention to the guards and soldiers.
14 and his men bow to the family.)

[14 speaks:]
Good day to you, you're excellency.

[1 smiles & speaks:]
Ah, Captian 14 de Châteaupers.  It is a pleasure to finally meet the hero who led the assault at the nest of the Queen Beast.

(14 stands tall and folds his arms behind his back.)

[14 speaks:]
Reporting for duty, sir.

[1 speaks:]
I also see that you've arrested the first crook of the day.

(1 gestures to X-15 on Vlast's back.)

[14 speaks:]
Yes sir.  He was causing a disturbance in the Marketplace, your grace.  He harassed and tried to rob a woman and her younger brother in front of the Tinker's shop, he even got two of your men involved and made a false claim.

[1 speaks:]
Is that so?  In the case, bring him over.

(X-15 slides off of Vlast and is escorted by 111 in front of the thrones.  1 meets the man's gaze.)

[1 speaks:]
Do you have anything to say in your defense, sir?

[X-15 speaks:]
Yes.  The guard's claims are false, you're excellency.  I saw the boy grabbing the money from the ground in a haste, and as an honorable citizen, I stopped the the thief and motioned your men for an arrest.

(Vlast steps up beside X-15.)

[Vlast speaks telepathically:]
"Your excellency, Captain 14 and I witnessed the event.  May I be allowed to speak?"

(The Governor nods at the fox in approval

[Vlast speaks:]
"Thank you.  Earlier today, the Captain and myself were walking in around while the Tinker's shop customers, who are siblings, were waiting for him to return with their order, and they had a Spy Mouse in their cart that had their earnings in it.  I mentioned the mouse because it tipped their bag oved and the brother went to pick up their money when this man started harassing and tried to accuse them of being thieves.  Your guards joined in on the harassing and threatened to put the customers in the stocks for no reason."
