While trying to be extreme for the bots, Mike is put on trial for his unintentional planet-killing spree. Through every fault of his own, Mike chooses Prof. Bobo for his defense attorney and Pearl as his prosecutor. The bots offer him video depositions, which only makes Mike look guiltier, and the Observer and Ortega give their own testimonies. In the end, Mike can only hope to throw himself on the mercy of the court, or at least what little mercy the court actually has for him.
