No, he has the chara's name changed to Anthony Hopkins.

Damn, Jex, you're so on to me! Rather than say, avoiding a beta game sans engaging content like the plague lately... I've been playing as Anthony Hopkins. How did you know?

The ITAN officers have hired a replacement chef for Lecter's special no-meat diet.

It would seem the previous chef might have slipped a few lamb chops under wrap.

The new chef's credentials can be observed here: http://homepage.mac.com/mouser/vendetta/trial/SaladaBoomBoom.mov .

This chef was preferred to one whose main recipe is chocolate salty balls.

Lecter's relatively good behavior lands him a bottle of Itan liquor. Our second cheapest available. ITAN is not harsh enough to give him the cheapest stuff around. Besides, we're in short supply of engine degreaser fluid.

Um, Lecter took a joyride in a Valk? Hey, I was *NOT* on guard duty at the time!

Great security...
Feb 27, 2006 Dr. Lecter link
Well, these things happen >.> <.<

I was out for my exercise period, the guard was doing some prayer nonsense, I was feeling hungry...

And then, while gnawing on his severed arm, and strolling around the hanger deck, his hand must have brushed his ship's interlock control. The thing just jumped to life next to me...

So, entirely by accident, I found myself in a Valk and out stretching my legs in Sedina. All this is so totally not my fault. And, I came back! So nah :P

We hear ya, Lecter. Next time, though, don't agree to return until they promise to put you off that vegan diet.

I liked Pa Sol better than So Lotus.

Anyway, Lecter ate lots of my body parts, and once he turned me into a newt!

OOC: I already pointed out to Mogul the deal with the nanites, as soon as I saw it on the list. Strike it from your defense argument, please.
Feb 28, 2006 LeberMac link
He does not deny turning me into a Newt! A WITCH!

I think we should add to the list of charges that:
1) Dr. Lecter, defendant, has been observed on multiple occasions attacking an Ineubis convoy capturing and delivering Itani Nation property cargo for use in building Serco weaponry.
2) Dr. Lecter, defendant, has never ONCE filed income taxes for any of the national authorities in known space.
3) Dr. Lecter, defendant, has repeatedly made bad puns in grayspace, a most dire penalty among the Corvus.

Quoting Lector-
"1 count of forceful rape—Defendant denies any illegal activity in connection with this count. Specifically, Defendant asserts that party claiming illegal…violation…of her…um, rights…had consented to said actions and was contractually bound to perform. Defendant hereby further asserts a counterclaim against Miharu, under Itani law, for damages Defendant suffered while using extra judicial measure to compel performance of contractual obligations, in the amount of one BILLION DOLLARS!!!"

What are dollars?
Feb 28, 2006 moldyman link
EDIT: Na na. No proof. Now if everyone is treating this so formal, I will go dig up some logs and brush up on my meager knowledge of the law.
Feb 28, 2006 Dr. Lecter link
"Um, I wasn't there but" Objection, hearsay! Defendant moves to strike offending remark and any allegations supported thereby.
Feb 28, 2006 MSKanaka link
However, I feel bored, so I'll go point-by-point and note stuff about Lecter's defense (in my case):

Intimidation—Defendant demurs to this count, as being too vague for Defendant to admit or deny any illegal activity in connection with this count.
» I concur. Please elucidate.

2 counts of Genetic Theft in the form of cloning (Miharu, Joyce) —Defendant denies any illegal activity in connection with this count. Specifically, all clones were given freely to Defendant by those who possessed ownership rights to genetic material in question.
» Granted, the Witness (Miharu) gave the Defendant a few clones as a one-time bribe to prevent herself from being eaten. Said clones were then modified and augmented without the Witness's knowledge to the extent seen in her testimony.

Battery, attempted choking*—Defendant denies any illegal activity in connection with this count. Specifically, Defendant claims that any such actions were reasonable in light of self defense.
» OBJECTION. Apparently, the Witness needs to point out that she is 1.5 meters tall, Itani, and by no means possess anywhere near the amount of muscular strength required to actually injure or impede the Defendant? The Witness kicked the Defendant once and broke her FOOT, doing no more to him than making an interesting metallic echoing sound in his abdomen. And even with her energy focus skills, the Witness can't do any damage to the Defendant. The most damage the Witness caused was severing a good inch of the Defendant's tongue, and that was repaired by the Defendant's nanites—and wasthe Witness acting in self-defense.

2 counts of Cannibalism—Defendant denies any illegal activity in connection with this count. Specifically, Defendant only ate non-Serco and thus cannot be charged with cannibalism.
» The charge should have indicated that the Defendent forced the Witness to commit cannibalism. Mogul, again, elucidate.

1 count of Illegal Access to Brainwaves for the Purpose of Enslavement—Defendant demurs to this count, as being too vague for Defendant to admit
or deny any illegal activity in connection with this count.

» Elucidate, Mogul. While I can see where you're going with it, not everyone else can.

1 count of Enslavement—Defendant demurs to this count, as being too vague for Defendant to admit or deny any illegal activity in connection with this count.
» See above response.

1 count of Illegal Use of Stolen Medical Device—Defendant denies any illegal activity in connection with this count. Specifically, Defendant does not now nor has at any time been in the possession of or had any control over said medical device. Any use of medical devices by Defendant involved devices built by Defendant from legal materials, utilizing knowledge of a proprietary nature.
» Strike this from my set of charges; the NSI was never used on the Witness from the time of its creation to the time of its destruction.

4 counts of Battery (throwing of body, choking, biting and slapping) —Defendant denies any illegal activity in connection with this count. Specifically, Defendant claims that any such actions were reasonable in light of self defense.
» OBJECTION. See previous comment about the Defendant's "self-defense" claims.

1 count of Unlawful Use and Control of a Clone—Defendant denies any illegal activity in connection with this count. Specifically, all clones were given freely to Defendant by those who possessed ownership rights to genetic material in question. Hence, all use and control of said clone was lawful.
» Gotta agree with the Defense here. See previous statement about Clones.

1 count of Forceful Dancing—Defendant denies to this count. Specifically, Defendant does not dance.
» OBJECTION. The Defendant was not being forced to dance. The Witness was, and the Defendant most certainly danced for a minute or two.

1 count of Unauthorised Use of Waitress Dress—Defendant denies this count. Specifically, Defendant does not now nor has Defendant ever worn a waitress dress.
» OBJECTION. Charge refers to forcing the Witness to wear said dress, thought the Witness would never describe said garment as a "waitress dress".

1 count of Lewd Act—Defendant denies any illegal activity in connection with this count. Specifically, Defendant asserts that Itani by their very nature are lewd and hence any action Defendant requested of an Itani must be lewd and is therefore lawful. Defendant further asserts that it’s not lewd if it’s fun.
» OBJECTION. The Witness asserts that the events that occurred on the weekend in question were neither fun nor lawful, and that for making racist comments in a court of law the Defendant should have that added to his list of charges, and should be punished accordingly.

1 count of Forceful Rape—Defendant denies any illegal activity in connection with this count. Specifically, Defendant asserts that party claiming illegal…violation…of her…um, rights…had consented to said actions and was contractually bound to perform. Defendant hereby further asserts a counterclaim against Miharu, under Itani law, for damages Defendant suffered while using extra judicial measure to compel performance of contractual obligations, in the amount of one BILLION DOLLARS!!!
» OBJECTION. Defense is trivializing the act of rape and assumes that said contract was even entered into by the Witness willingly, which is not the case. That said, the Witness was in a great amount of mental distress and anguish at the time said contract was formalized and signed, and as such her signature and/or agreement to such a contract is null and void.

1 charge of Torture in the Biting off of Tongue —Defendant denies any illegal activity in connection with this count, asserting the affirmative defense of consent by opposite party, due to contractual obligations.
» OBJECTION. See previous statement.

1 charge of Murder by Nanites—Defendant denies any illegal activity in connection with this count. Specifically, Defendant asserts that Miharu did in fact commit suicide by nanites, and Defendant cannot be held liable for murder when the alleged victim killed herself. Defendant hereby further asserts a counterclaim against Miharu, under Itani law, for attempted tortuous frustration of contractual purpose and attempted intentional avoidance of performance of contractual obligation. Defendant hereby demands specific performance of all unperformed contractual obligations.
» I move that this charge be stricken from the record, as the evidence-surveyors clearly did not review it carefully. The Witness did in fact willingly commit suicide, however said action was in self-defense for the purposes of removing herself from the situation, and the Witness would have died anyway had she not done so due to wounds inflicted by the Defendant.

I think that covers everything.
