[He's aware that you killed a human girl. He's not impressed. If his leg wasn't broken, he'd probably do something about it.]

We have video and audio evidence of your crime, and we will process the matter as such. I repeat, do not attempt to resist. Should you do so, I am capable of authorizing my forces to move from brute, to potentially lethal force.
I suggest you present yourself to the front of the arena immediately.
