[How long has it been for him? Since he's been sentenced? A year. It definitely wasn't in the courthouse when it happened the first time, but those details fall to the way side as Scott stares up at Jerry. So, he's the actual judge this time?? The council isn't here, maybe they never were. It's hard to remember every detail and while Scott wants to try and commit everything he sees here to memory, Jerry starts speaking.
And he's being charged. For killing Charles Xavier.
That change in his parchment that also happened about a year ago and he didn't do it. The Professor is alive back home and--]
I didn't kill him. [Somehow, Scott doesn't shout, but his jaw's clenched, fists curled into fists by his sides.] Want proof? Look into my mind or something. He's fine.
And I'm telling you, Charles Xavier is alive in my world. [.....] You know that you got the wrong Scott, you've heard about that, right? The fucking multiverse.
[Yeah, go figure. This whole thing has always been bullshit to Scott, so why should he expect anything different? It's pointless to argue about that specific point.
Although...]
Alright, fine. Can you at least tell me how I kill him? Or when? Do you know what Professor Xavier even looks like?
[there's a long silence as Jerry's gaze fixates somewhere over Scott's shoulder. he's not looking at anything in particular, almost as if he's... thinking...
[Scott can't help but glance back, to see what Jerry may be looking at. He... doesn't see anything in particular, the lack of anything actually noticeable getting Scott to return his focus on the AI with a small frown.
Honestly, it's his small confusion that tempers some of his irritation about all this. He's still calling bullshit about his crime, but.]
You don't have any connection to my universe and yet you're sure about my crime. [...] Are you connected to any universe, Jerry? Besides this one?
You never thought about doing something beyond that? Like stuff you actually want to do, Jerry? What about the other AI-- or are you just an extension of it?
[Or her?? Scott doesn't fully understand all that honestly, that's more... uh, people who are familiar with that kind of thing. Not him.]
You know there's been other robots and stuff that has been able to break out of that. Like... Aigis.
[How did it happen? Probably determination and friendship. He doesn't know the answer.] Okay, then what do you consider yourself? Also, who created the AI in the first place? They still around at all?
Your superior them-self. [Scott slowly repeats, like he's trying to keep up. He thinks he is!] So, the other AI. Great, of course, the one that no one's been able to talk to in a while.
[SIGH.] So. What's with that crack from before? Saw something weird in it.
[he doesn't seem offended by the question in the least.]
What did you see, Scott? You've been here long enough to know that there are times when you all can see through this world. It's not our intention, but my Superior isn't perfect, unfortunately.
[He folds his arms across his chest, but it's kind of cool that Jerry is answering his questions like this. Maybe he'll actually try to do his sentencing later! ...Well, he would've anyway, if only just so he doesn't have to deal with worse consequences.]
So, can you tell me if that crack would've led to some 'outside' world? What would happen if I managed to fit through it?
[Is Jerry sassing him... wow. It's really come to this now.]
I'm not the one that blew up city hall. Just putting that out there. [...] But of course not. Is that because you don't know or you're just 'programmed' to be super unhelpful?

The crime that is charged to you doesn't lie. That deed you've done has happened.
no subject
And I'm telling you, Charles Xavier is alive in my world. [.....] You know that you got the wrong Scott, you've heard about that, right? The fucking multiverse.
no subject
[or rather, he knows what he's been programmed to know about it-]
But you are the one who's charged with the crime, whether or not you agree with it.
no subject
Although...]
Alright, fine. Can you at least tell me how I kill him? Or when? Do you know what Professor Xavier even looks like?
no subject
finally:]
No. I have no connection to that universe.

Why would I exist anywhere else? I was created for one purpose, by my superior. To carry out these sentencings.
no subject
Would you want to exist anywhere else? Do anything else? [Jerry's superior though... he should probably ask about that too.]
no subject
No. I exist only for one purpose, and that is to carry out sentencing and help monitor the Chosen.
no subject
[Or her?? Scott doesn't fully understand all that honestly, that's more... uh, people who are familiar with that kind of thing. Not him.]
no subject
[their curiosity is very strange, this time.]
I was created by the AI. I am also semi-regularly updated by the AI, but I wouldn't consider myself a complete extension.
no subject
[How did it happen? Probably determination and friendship. He doesn't know the answer.] Okay, then what do you consider yourself? Also, who created the AI in the first place? They still around at all?
no subject
[there's no determination and friendship here!!]
I do not have access to that sort of information. You would have to talk to my superior them-self.
no subject

[Should he be mentioning this?? Too late.]

[at least he'll admit that.]
no subject
[Yep sure is Scott not answering Jerry's question and just asking more of his own...]
no subject
[said simply enough.]
no subject
So, can you tell me if that crack would've led to some 'outside' world? What would happen if I managed to fit through it?
no subject
You wouldn't be able to fit through it.
[that's not an answer at all, Jerry.]
no subject
[ALSO. He noticed the not answering of his questions.] So, can't tell me what's in the crack, huh? Or you just don't want to tell me?
no subject
[was that... sass.........
he just stares at Scott now for a moment, before he answers.]
I'm unable to tell you.
no subject
