"Hope took sheltered position several metres back, Charles took a more open but also protected position two metres away from the boathouse. Tifa and I assaulted the building, with myself taking point and Tifa on flank. We were initially met with heavy resistance and I became worried lethal force may have to be used. Tifa and I took out a wall to provide cover for the hostages. We were attacked by five Cult members once we breached the interior, and would have suffered mortal injuries were I not able to create a defensive shield. Because my shielding is electric in nature, when one of the cultist attempted to attack though it, he was killed. As Tifa and I took a moment to regroup, Charles alerted us to the presence of two other rescue parties. One didn't make it inside the boathouse, but one did. Shortly before the arrive of the second party, consisting of two males, the Cultists began to attack each other savagely. Several of their own perished under the 'friendly fire'. In the mayhem, I was about to grab Vanille and hand her over to Tifa, who had also grabbed another girl. Tifa led them to safety. The two male hostages were rescued by the second party."

With a small smile in the direction of the witness stand, sincere in the parts that it wasn’t cocky, Franziska gave the witness a small bow before now redirecting her attention to first the judge - who seemed to be paying less attention to the proceedings than his Los Angeles counterpart - then to the jury, as her time would be far less wasted by addressing them instead. "Thank you, Dr. Michael Xavier. As we have just heard from this witness, the culprits in this case turned violent when their plans were interfered with. Do these sound like the actions of rational, well-intentioned members of society to you, ladies and gentlemen? Or do they sound more like the actions of desperate radicals who pose a clear threat to society? In the end, that decision lies with you." The lingering pause at the end implied quite clearly what Franziska thought the answer to that question was -- yet, she couldn't say it. Whatever, it was rhetorical enough.
