Careers Fair, Fandom High Front Lawn, Friday Afternoon, 07/21/06

By lunch time, the booths were set up, the guests had arrived and there was quaint music playing from somewhere undetermined. Hawkeye is walking around with one of those portable microphone/speaker set-ups, roaming from booth to booth announcing the various guests that have come to Fandom to talk about their professions.

And despite what the mainland weather forecast said, it was definitely a nice, fine day.

"That's unusual." Briar studied the card but didn't touch it. "How does it work?"

"A Judgement scanner reads a suspect's vital signs after they've been formally charged with a crime. If their physiological response indicates guilt, they're transported to a small pocket dimension housed inside the card."

"Hunh. And if the person is able to keep their physiological responses under control or is just naturally nervous?"

"There are certain signals we have discovered that even the most well-trained are unable to exact control over," Cruger says. "And the scanner is sophisticated enough to distinguish between actual guilt about the crime they're being accused of and mere nerves."

Briar nodded. "Nice. And how long are people kept on these cards?"

"The length of incarceration is dependent upon the severity of the crime. A thief, for example, would not serve as long a sentence as someone who sought to destroy a planet."

Briar nodded. "We need that were I'm from. A murder and a thief get treated the same." Not that he's bitter or anything. "How long have you had this system in place?"

"In other sectors of the galaxy? Hundreds of years. On Earth? Approximately twelve years, from my time."

"Hmm. Well, thank you for your time." Briar nodded politely.
