Judge: Mr. Ecclas, you may proceed.

Ecclas: Very well, your honor, we have a fairly straightforward case of unrestricted will. As the court knows, Mr. Omndeist, the defendant, was displaying blatant immoral behavior on the basis he was expressing 'his inherent right' to 'free speech'. Mr. Omndeist, I call you to the stand.

Omndeist: Are there no other witnesses? My behavior was exhibited publicly...

Ecclas: Unfortunately for you, Mr. Omndeist, there are no witnesses to testify.

Omndeist: There were well more than a hundred people present! You know that! This was a busy street!

Judge: No one was there, Mr. Omndeist. The cameras #14654 and #14673 show this.

Omndeist: Those tapes are edited! This entire society is edited! A woman noticed me, she was there!! Talked to me! She said her name was Nadine Descartes

Judge: No woman of that name has ever existed. The database says so. Let me caution you, Mr. Omndeist, if you proceed in exhibiting this defensive and absurd behavior, I will find you in contempt! Please do what Mr. Ecclas has asked.

**Omndeist proceeds to the stand

Automaton: You will tell the truth.

Omndeist: I will to the fullest extent.

Ecclas: Now Mr. Omndeist, now that you are co-operating, let us begin. Your explicit behavior.. What prompted you to behave in such a fashion?

Omndeist: Freedom of speech is a right of which all man has at birth! It cannot be taken from him.

Ecclas: That is not a satisfactory answer, Mr. Omndeist..

Omndeist: There is no right or wrong answer! This is what I believe!

Ecclas: Mr. Omndeist, I am aghast at your behavior... Your 'belief' is wrong, it is against the will of society of which we work for. Free will is a serious crime in this society of order.

Omndeist: A better description of your 'society of order' would be..

Omndeist's Attorney: Your honor, my client is suffering from delusions. Perhaps it would be easier for him if we should continue this case for another day.. He needs treatment.

Judge: Very well. Let me advise you to lose the radical behavior, Mr. Omndeist, or you may suffer the consequences... perhaps sooner than expected

Omndeist: **mutters** Is that a threat?

Nurse: Come now, Mr. Omndeist, you need your medication.

Omndeist & Nurse exits

Ecclas: Clearly this man is mad

Judge: Mad as he is dangerous.

Omndeist's Attorney: Measures will be taken.

The Jurors: Measures will proceed.
