Assembly [Both Schools]
By Sunday morning the translation system was back online. Signs were readable to everyone and each screen ordered students to the Battle Arena for 12 noon. Prefects were sent out to make sure no one leaves the campus until that time and then gathered up everyone to take to the battle arena.
Once everyone was seated, the prefects taking up the first two rows, the staff appeared. All of them looked grim; even Recette who's usually cheery face was gone, Dolorosa had an expression usually worn by Santana. As they came to stand in a row in front of the students, it was Dunleavy that stepped forward.
"As I am sure you are all aware, yesterday there was an attack on the Exaclan system and the city of Rakuen itself. I first would like to apologise for the inconvenience and the amount of time it took to get the system working again. Luckily there was no permanent damage."
That was the easy bit, Lee blinked, they hadn't had any sleep at all, working until the early hours to help repair the system. Considering the six of them did not share a common language, it had been a difficult process. The next bit was harder; she hated punishing people. She always felt like she had no right to. But she did, she had taken on that right and responsibility when she became mayor and this was a serious attack.
Perhaps they had been too soft with them, experimentation and trying to cheat was one thing. But this was an entirely different category.
"We have, of course discovered the perpetrators of this crime." She nodded, sending Santana and Nanami to collect Suzaku Kururugi and Lelouch vi Britannia from the stands. They were both prefects which was disappointing. Lee would have hoped they would know better.
"Lelouch vi Britannia and Suzaku Kururugi were both found to be the ones that began the attack." Though she had a feeling she knew which one had had the idea. The other didn't seem intelligent enough.
At least they were responsible for each others wrong doings, and so Lee didn't have to punish an innocent.
"You have both been found guilty of attacking the city of Rakuen." She paused, because giving the accused a chance to speak was considered civilised in most worlds and cultures.

3/4
Of course that was ridiculous, but although Dunleavy knew who it belonged it, she wasn't sure it was her that had sent it to attack the mansion. And though Lee had her suspicions, she wasn't going to accuse anyone without proof. Which she didn't have.
So instead she held up the rabbit, and waited.

Ah, and then the other shoe dropped. No wonder Lil Seb hadn't returned. Dirk bit his lip and shifted his eyes over to Jane.
He really hoped she wouldn't say anything.
sorry bro, jane confesses.
After the punishments had been dealt, and everyone was left silent. Jane spoke up. "It isn't my place to say what happened, because I don't know. It was likely a wire malfunction! Seb probably didn't mean it!"
Jane was panicked. Something so precious to her, attack people? There was no way! "He's mine. Let me take responsibility for his actions. I'm sorry."

Either way, Jake was going to get penalized. At least this way Dirk would get whatever else was coming, rather than Jane.
Oh. But she hadn't stopped talking. Dirk winced. He just hoped this wouldn't make things worse.

"And which of you sent it to my mansion?"
no subject
Dirk found himself holding his breath. He looked to Jane and quickly, abruptly shook his head. Don't say anything, was the message.
no subject
"Am I to believe then it decided to attack the city on its own?"
