Tyrannus and Matricus were on their way to the council chambers. They had been chosen by the council to give their testimonies because they were among the last to see Nihlus alive.
"Matricus, how can you believe Saren is innocent? You know he hates humans." Tyrannus said.
"Look, I know their is bad blood between you and Saren. And he may hate humans, but not enough to wipe out an entire colony. I won't give false testimony because you're still angry over something that happened 5 years ago." Matricus said.
"He's the reason that THING got a grip on you. Don't you doubt him even a little? Even after that monster took your eye?"
"It would have taken more if he wasn't there. Saren saved my life. I trust him."
"But I-"
"Quiet. We're here. Damn, we're late. Stupid reporter."
"Did you have to hit her?"
"YES."
The two turians quickly took their seats as a shouting human was insulting Saren.
"Ah. Tyrannus and Matricus. What do you have to say regarding the incident?" said the asari councilor.
Matricus swiftly rose from his seat.
"Saren is a spectre and a hero. I've fought alongside him. He has always protected others no matter their race. I say, without a doubt, Saren Arterius is innocent."
Tyrannus stood next.
"I have seen Saren in action as well. He kills indescriminately. He shoots anything that gets in his way. Is it not likely Nihlus stood in his way?"
"Based on the evidence provided by Commander Shepard, we have confirmed the geth to be directly responsible." said the salarian councilor.
"I've heard enough. What is the decision?" said the turian councilor.
The council exchanged quick glances silently coming to a decision.
"It is unanimous. Without further evidence, we cannot deem Saren guilty. He is innocent." said the asari councilor.
"I am glad to see justice served this day." said Saren.
Saren's hologram disappeared and Shepard stormed off. Matricus and Tyrannus left the chamber and began their own investigation.
"I say Saren is guilty. Why can't you just accept it?" Tyrannus asked.
"I won't condemn him without good reason. I say we search the presidium and ask around. Someone is bound to have some info." Matricus said.
