Leo sat in the defendant's box, restless and anxious. His eyes darted around the courtroom, searching for any possible clues. At that moment, the guards standing nearby began to pace rhythmically, and the tense atmosphere inside the courtroom gradually intensified.
Suddenly, the door behind the towering judge's bench swung open, and two uniformed guards emerged. Their steps were precise and powerful, as if each one heralded the impending justice and authority. Following closely behind, three robed judges slowly emerged and moved toward their positions in front of the judge's bench.
These three judges each exude different qualities. The one on the far left is a stout middle-aged man with dark skin, his eyes sharp and deep, as if able to see through everything. In the middle is a man with white hair, showing the marks of time on his face, but his eyes reveal deep wisdom and experience. The one on the far right is a middle-aged woman with brown skin, wearing glasses, her expression serious, with a hint of impatience in her eyes.
When the three judges stood in their respective positions, the atmosphere in the entire courtroom reached a climax. A heavy silence enveloped the space, making people feel oppressed. Leo's heartbeat became even more rapid at this moment, his gaze fixed on the three judges, filled with a mixture of anticipation and fear.
These three judges represent the highest judicial authority of the Interstellar Federation, and each of their decisions will have a profound impact on Leo's fate. Leo realizes that this trial is not just a judgment of himself, but a culmination of all his actions and choices. At this critical moment, he can't help but recall all his experiences on the Four Minnow Star, every decision, every battle, and even every sacrificed comrade flashing through his mind.
Leo takes a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions. The moments to come will be one of the most important in his life. In this courtroom filled with authority and justice, he is about to face his past and all the potential consequences for his future.
In a tense atmosphere, three judges sat in their respective positions. The White-haired elderly judge in the middle, dressed in a solemn black robe, held a thick stack of files in his hands. He began to flip through them, furrowing his brow at times and relaxing at others, as if carefully examining the details of each document.
The middle-aged woman judge on the right and the strong middle-aged black man on the left silently stared at Leo, their eyes expressing both seriousness and inquiry. In the almost palpable silence, Leo felt an unprecedented pressure. His heart raced in his chest, each beat reminding him of the importance of this moment.
In the entire courtroom, there was no sound except for the faint rustling of pages as the white-haired judge flipped through the case files. This sound seemed particularly loud in the quiet space. The few minutes of silence seemed to elongate time, filling the entire space with a sense of oppression.
Leo sat in the defendant's box, his hands trembling slightly. Despite his efforts to maintain a calm exterior, his inner struggle and unease were impossible to hide. He occasionally took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, while constantly speculating in his mind about what kind of judgment these judges would pass on him.
Finally, White-haired elderly judge closed the case file. His gaze lifted from the documents and met Leo's eyes directly. In that moment, it seemed as if the atmosphere in the entire courtroom had changed, like the calm before a storm. Leo knew deeply that every decision that followed would determine the course of his fate.
"The defendant, please rise!" White-haired judge announced solemnly. Leo obediently stood up, his back straight, hands naturally at his sides, striving to maintain the discipline and dignity of a soldier.
White-haired judge adjusted his sitting posture and then, with a penetrating gaze through his glasses, stared directly at Leo, asking in a serious and deep tone, "May I ask, are you the United Earth Federation military academy, 89th graduating class, Interstellar Federation Navy, combat department, Border Defense Department, Second Lieutenant Leo?"
This question was like a key that opened the door to Leo's memory. Countless scenes from the training ground, the bitter tears shed on the battlefield, and the countless life-and-death moments experienced with his comrades flashed through his mind. All of these memories surged up at this moment, causing his voice to carry deep emotions and determination.
Leo took a deep breath and then answered loudly and clearly, "Yes! I am Leo, Second Lieutenant of the Border Defense Department of the Interstellar Federation Navy."
The others in the courtroom silently watched this scene, and the air seemed to be filled with an invisible tension. After hearing Leo's response, the White-haired judge nodded, then exchanged a glance with the judges beside him, before refocusing his gaze on Leo.
The judge's gaze seemed to contain many unspoken words, their eyes revealing deep contemplation of the young officer's fate in this heavy atmosphere. Leo stood there, his body trembling slightly, but his gaze unwavering, waiting for the judges' next question or the pronouncement of his future.
White-haired judge continued, "According to the Interstellar Federation Military Code, you are charged with insubordination to a superior officer, attacking a comrade in non-combat situation, and misconduct during a mission. These actions seriously violate the discipline and code of conduct of the Interstellar Federation military. Defendant, how do you plead to these charges?"
Leo's heart tightened at the accusations, which not only threatened his career but also dealt a significant blow to his reputation and dignity. He knew that the outcome of this trial would determine his future. Lifting his head, he gazed into the judge's eyes, ready to make his defense.
