"Let's see, great Admiral Jahve, can you explain to me how your conduct cannot be related to the charges we accuse you of?"
"Dear Grand Admirals, Colonel Mephistopheles, the first step in a process before a court-martial is not the defense or the proposition to evidence; as indicated in the updated martial procedure, the defense lawyer or the accused himself must have the opportunity before the start of the substantive trial to present the procedural exceptions that are pertinent and submit them to the court's decision. I am not in a hurry; at least I am not in a hurry"
Grand Admiral Zeus raised an eyebrow.
"Of course, Grand Admiral Jahve, it was neither clumsiness nor a mistake; we honestly did not think that there were procedural exceptions or prior prejudicial issues... but if you have them, please present them so that we can decide"
Hephaestus intervened, saving everyone's face; failure to follow the procedure could cause the court martial to be considered null and void due to a defect in form.
"Well, the first procedural exception is that of res judicata, which would affect descriptors 8 to 23 of your list of facts, since those same facts were already judged in the procedure AJK20004 of Calendars 12. Having already been declared once the charges for the same facts are null and void, that is, for providing the same information in the same way in both cases, it is not possible to include those descriptors in the current trial; the conduct that was not sanctionable then cannot be sanctioned now for the same issue since falls within the field of reiteration of valid conduct as expressed in the resolutions to procedures BRP15524 of Tertius 27 and the most recent MAX87100 of Brunius 18."
Old Jahve took out the resolution of said procedures from his folder and provided it to the grand admirals and the prosecutor, Mephistopheles.
After a long time of reviewing the data and documentation, and after many conversations under his breath, the great Admiral Zeus addressed Jahve and the prosecutor.
"After examining the data found in these documents, this court-martial decides to accept the procedural exception presented by Grand Admiral Jahve, and therefore the facts listed with descriptors 8 to 23 will be outside the current procedure of this court-martial, has any "what the prosecutor's office has to say"
"No, nothing to say Grand Admiral Zeus"
"In that case, Grand Admiral Jahve can continue if he has any other prior questions."
Zeus expected the old man to shake his head, however he stood up to speak again.
"Well, precisely in this case there is a prejudicial question to be decided and that may prevent the prosecution in this session of the facts derived from the descriptors ranging from 27 to 41, in accordance with article 139 of the procedure for the prosecution of evidence and facts before the court martial, and I quote verbatim: When the judge has founded reasons to believe that the assessment of a prosecutable fact must wait for a linked future result, or the fact itself is future, he must postpone the prosecution until he can obtain an objective judgment about it"
The three great admirals looked at each other, and the colonel looked at the ceiling in despair.
"Excuse me, Grand Admiral Jahve, but we do not understand where he wants to go or what those well-founded reasons would be. Would you be so kind as to enlighten us?"
The way this court martial was going, Grand Admiral Poseidon tried to be as cautious as possible, being ridiculed by an old man was not in his plans.
"Well, it is clear that the facts that concern what I said to the media are issues that cover future events, specifically facts that I had not revealed until that moment and that will happen in the following months. I have information about many others, but it will be revealed in due course, which is clear that in order to accuse me of lying or of being crazy, or delusional, it would be important to verify if the facts are at least real or not, and given that there are barely three months left for the first 7, I think it is reasonable to postpone their prosecution until the reality or not of the same is verified. If you ask me for the well-founded reasons, having seen that the first of the prophecies of a Madman, of which they accuse me, was fulfilled yesterday, I believe that as "At least they can have a well-founded reason for not prosecuting that now."
"I ask the court not to respond to this request with a single wish to delay the process; a coincidental success does not make it true."
The prosecutor Mephistopheles seemed like he wanted to at least hit old Jahve back, however he interrupted him.
"I completely agree with Colonel Mephistopheles; a single right answer does not make it true, since we cannot differentiate if it is a coincidence or not, but 7 correct answers would make a guideline for the veracity or not of what I have transmitted..."
The three great admirals were really caught between a rock and a hard place, if they continued with the trial and it was proven that the old fool had been right in everything they would be the laughing stock of the Navy, they would not even be able to save face from the other great Admirals of the Empire or Asgard.
After deliberating for a while, it seemed that not all the great admirals had the same opinion, but in the end the decision was made two to one, Grand Admiral Zeus said with a look of true frustration.
"In response to the prejudicial requests alleged by Grand Admiral Jahve, this court-martial has decided to postpone the trial of this matter to this very day, three months from now..."
Old Jahve smiled as he left the room. He was old but to deal with those stupid bureaucrats he served himself and was enough, he just had to play the same game but much better than them.
The main failure of the prosecutor and the court itself was to think of him as a hopeless old fool, a good-for-nothing, a drunk, a loudmouth. But Jahve was far from that, at least not now that he had regained all confidence in what he had experienced.
