---Scene of the crime---
As the temple guard gathered around to move the body and tend to other affairs, many were talking, answering questions and taking statements. One of them approached Arceneaux calmly. "Sir, were you present during the incident?" A fairly calm, quiet voice said. The monk, a human in his thirties, eyed the man warily.
---Meanwhile, at the Temple Chambers---
The audience chamber prepared for this was a quiet, rather uninteresting room. Each of the Mandalorians was brought in, as well as the two Gamorreans. A holographic projection of the dead Gamorrean, a woman named Garrosh, was visible on the display. Five oh looked at the room, his photoreceptors scanning the lot of them. Mostly humans. Aside from RUH4N, all organics. The droid stood there, calmly. "Before we begin, I would like to say that Garrosh did not survive her injuries. The Temple will see to her will accordingly."
One of the Gamorreans squealed out something that while not translatable, had a clear intent of "I want all of these men dead, in the most painful way possible."
"Calm yourself," Five-oh said sternly as he looked at each of them. "We are here to see justice, not vengeance. This isn't some outback crime den, it's a city of free people," he said, his tone surprisingly soft for a droid.
He turned to the Oldest one, a large man...He looked too large to be a normal human, but then again, humans were weirdly diverse in body type. He nodded to Ra calmly. "You, as the eldest among the accused, will begin. Each of your compatriots will testify in order, from oldest to youngest, and say what they believe happened. Then, the other parties," he gestured to the droid and Gammorrean "Will testify. After I have weighed the evidence, both physical and by testimony, with the other statements being provided to me via comm-link, I will deliberate, and a decision will be made. You may begin now," he said softly.
The droid general-turned-priest did his best not to crack under this. A woman was dead. International criminals. The first murder since the founding of the city. What was right to do? Kill them? Exile? Trial by combat? Pilgrimage? They wouldn't honor a pilgrimage, though. Would they? Bloody hell. Why hadn't he planned for this? Of course someone was going to die of unnatural cause eventually. But why today. Why now?
(OOC: I'm not actually that concerned about the order, I just went with the oldest looking guy first, because something had to be said)
