Trial of Silence

The 1st trial of silence is history. Jurors have gone home satisfied with their contribution. Zachariah found a host mother for his child and the assassin's sister decides to join the UN team while one of theirs goes rogue. The twins have to say adios to their famous father.

While Sean enjoys a chair on the Junta, Iris visits the psychiatric wing of the UN Hospital, for a rest. Sean must break his silence to release her.

Did Rutledge escape UN destruction of the space station? If so, he will be a big Junta headache i.e. numerous progeny and a gigantic fortune, in which he erroneously included Iris, ignorant of what she signed.

If he shows, Zachariah has plans for the once famous attorney: a visit to families of those he destroyed. Iris suggests the indignity of a 2nd TOS trial, his infamy judged by an International UN Tribunal.
