10/3/2025 Kick Recap - "They Better Hope I Get Exiled"

Skipper gives Lang a quick recap: OTT hanging with Edgar, AC being made temp security lead, and a book he found that Lang thinks was made by Eliza. As they wait for their trial to begin, Lang shows Saab the book and has him read through it. Lang and Saab check out the artifacts that they got from the mission, Saab suggests for Lang to try on the armour in case he gets a new power, but Lang claims he's afraid to be cursed by it. Harry B calls to arrange the jury for the trial, Lang reminds him that they're about to be in phase 2 of the tunnels. Arush calls Saab to warn of 6 helicopters above New Babylon, so they race back to help.

Lang and Saab don't see any conflict, Luciano meets them to inform them of his suspicions of Edgar. Luciano withdrew his claims to the trial in hopes to avoid dividing NB. Lang clarifies that they're still friends, but warns Luciano that he's stifled his growth in NB. Saab and Arush have a short Merchant's Guild meeting that ends in zero conflict, Bazim asks Lang for some mercy else he'll leave NB, Lang has a short Moleman meeting to discuss spice distribution and that Imo won't be around the same time as him anymore. Arush pulls Lang aside to talk 1 on 1, they iron out some disagreements about cliques and what the security team was meant to build.

The Trial

Lang and Saab sit on the stage, Eliza announces Klevin and Jesus to be additional jury for this trial. Clark is called forth by Harry B for his previous outburst towards the Marduk during times of conflict. Luciano is called forth by Eliza for the same crime, as well as his refusal to do his assigned laps. Both of them are meant to wait for the entire trials deliberation before their consequences are determined. Saab is called first, he admits to testing security with the Marduk. Lang admits to being guilty of everything, reminding everyone that when he returned to being Marduk, he told them it would be different than before. Lang tells them that after punishing security for being lazy with the firework RPG, he met with Dark Stone who offered to help test their equipment. Lang and Saab tested New Babylon by water, by air, and by ground. Lang claims that he would do it time and time again, regardless of how people feel about him, he's doing it for those who would live and die for NB. Jesus and Queenie question Lang for his decisions, and why he felt negatively towards security. Lang claims he is still not above the codex, for taking trial of his actions is still a result of the codex. "Put up with it, or have the balls to get rid of me" - Lang Buddha.

After taking time to deliberate, Eliza returns with verdicts for everyone. Luciano and Clark are fined 1 BBL and given time in the shame pit, Saab is temporary exiled to the Isle of Shamash for a week and fined 100 BBL, Lang is temporary exiled to the Tunnel, tasked to rebuild security from the ground up, and fined 100 BBL.

Harry, Eliza, and Skipper pull Lang and Saab aside after the trial. Harry B and Eliza get into a small argument about how Harry B is presenting the result of the trial. Lang gets changed and heads into the Tunnel. He calls AC to make him his eyes and ears while he's on punishment, AC agrees. Lang heads to bed.
