Draiss grinned at the Valeyard, and then shrugged. "Well, since I never signed any agreement or whatnot stating I would abide by said Pact, I believe you can, and this is legalese terms I think, fuck right off to hell with a rusty poleaxe up your ass, kangaroo. And make sure the log got that right. And the others are merely recombinations already in existence, with the possible exceptions to the outsiders that had been naturally spawning on my personal plane. And if you plan to call me out on THAT, you are clearly pushing a hidden agenda, and I move that this so called 'impartial judge' be replaced with one that can at LEAST pretend to be so."<br/><br/>He played the Tome of records thrice, ensuring it got the enunciation correct, before smiling grimly at the Valeyard. "I would like for Gammon to present its own examinations on side devices, as well as what I call 'balefire' which it is, in fact, not."<br/><br/>He let Gammon present its observations, and that it had known about his experiments with all three, before turning back to the Tome, and bringing up the exact same recordings the 'judge' had used against him for balefire. "So, I will assume that at least one person knows nothing about true balefire. It is basically a magically sustained attack that burns so hot it kills things before it hits, creating paradoxes. For example, if the opponent kills someone, and then I kill the opponent with balefire, with enough power, the person the opponent killed is still alive after the balefire attack. IT would also be shown in both the Tome, as a graphical glitch most likely, and every Inevitable coming to have words with me, up to and including Primus. Now, does ANY of those records in the Tome show that kind of anomaly? Gammon, did any of my 'balefire' uses cause the kind of paradoxes described in lore regarding 'true balefire?'"<br/><br/>He shook his head as the Tome was then rewound, back to each scene the 'judge' had used against him, which had mostly been showing the explosions and their damage radii. "Lets add some transparency, shall we, jumping marsupial judge?"<br/><br/>Each scene where nova or core bombs had been used showed long battles with his constructs and several clearly NOT natural species, and after an hour of fighting, and most of the time just BARELY holding their initial lines, with their audio logs supplied from his archives showing that the constructs where doing everything in their power just to hold, and kept trying to advance to the target zones. Other archive shots showed what the observer drones had shown, nests that had been rife with beyonder energies, ritual circles that clearly were far, far, FAR worse than the nova bombs deployed against them, or similar things, and all of them were shown that the constructs had tried everything, he had confirmed that they had tried everything up to and including saturation carpet bombing from the Gray Lady heavy bombers, and still had not stopped whatever they had gone in for. None of the uses had been frivolous, except for the Sunny island, where he had blown their production and storage areas apart for the constructs Verdelet used, and had even removed night shift workers with non-lethal means, ensuring no one got hurt during the explosion. That had been in retaliation for the naturalized beyonder hatchling going nuts. "So, what was the final charge? Something about assisting the ultimate entities against reality, or some such nonsense?"
