Patricia stood in front of the judge waiting for him to hand down her sentence. She had stolen a large amount of money from a bank using her teleportation ability. For most cases involving psionic crimes, the Navy held the prisoners in the Australian Shielded Detention Facility at Australia Base.
The Navy refused to put a fifteen year old girl into that prison.
Now she was sixteen and nearly a year of trial was over. They had gone to extra ordinary effort to monitor and secure her over the last eleven months.
Patricia was doing her best to fight the tears threatening to come to her. The judge was going to order an operation to remove her Malenkov Organ.
As he began to pronounce his judgment, a woman stood up in the back of the room. Her features were hidden and she offered the judge an alternative.
Patricia realized The Sasha Malenkov-Wraith was in the court room, offering to give her a way to keep her abilities.
Patricia had no idea just how wrapped up she would be in the events leading to the Edge of Damnation.
