[Very deliberate (and deliberated over) video]

[Ky's sitting in his apartment. It's afternoon now, and he's spent since midnight thinking about this, almost entirely off the network. But it's clear that the solution isn't just thinking, and that he can't implement his desired solution on his own.]

It's become apparent that one thing this place is suffering from is a severe lack of justice. There always remained the question of once we caught the murderer what could be done to keep them separate in what passes for society here, to keep them from hurting another.

And now, failed joke or not, a woman lies dead. And we do know who is responsible.

Are we really going to sit back, be distressed and discomfited, but do nothing?

Or is it time to set up some system of justice? -- Not vengeance, that's not what I'm recommending, but there needs to a rehabilitation process.

I see what yer sayin'...

[It really is weird, being in a place without an ancient order for justice already set up. Then again, that system had its share of worms crawling around.]

What about the potential for abuse of power? Where there's leadership, there's always a scumbag or two, and a crappy justice system can't be much better than no justice system at all.

Put checks in place to catch and punish that. Decentralize the power as much as possible.

[Good answer. She nods in approval.]

People've been making a lot of fuss bout different laws in different places, but some things are pretty standard. Don't kill, don't steal, all that. I'd stand behind a plan like yours, if ya did it right.

I will do my best.
