The diplomat's face was a stone mask as he listened, and then spoke again.[color=3399FF]"I must remind you that we only have your word that she has committed any crimes at all. In our records, there is no account of Sophia Aethis conducting any offence aside from the ones you accuse her of. If she and her compatriots are ever shown to be a serious threat to our global security, we will takes steps to prevent them. However, it is the view of the UNCETREM that we cannot with good conscience refuse extra-terrestrials the rights we fight adamantly to maintain for our own people. If you can give us proof of her crimes, it will go a long way towards swaying the court in your favour. But make no mistake: The rule of law is sacred here above any gods, and we will enforce it with great zeal. Whatever the outcome, we will stand by it and fight to uphold the judgement."[/color]
