When the two Lindemanns attempted to force General Ulbricht into confessing, both Malcolm and Relena stood prepared to protest the action. Relena began, “Lord Lindemann please –“ but heard the General give his answers. The first one was enough to calm any protests and provide any ears to what he had to answer, but the second was the moment that broke the ice among the gathering.
As soon as the General gave his confession there was a collective gasp and mass confusion among the House Representatives. The very notion that someone the Earth Sphere had come to trust had participated in such an act was one few leaders would have wanted to see happen. The strength of the issue showed when even Malcolm was unable to contain his surprise.
Malcolm sat down and gave a deep breath before he sentenced, "General Klaus Ulbricht. The people of the Earth Sphere United Nations gave their full support to you when they believed you would do everything to protect its fellow citizens. For your defense of Berlin and the willingness to come to our aid, we believed that our debt to you could never be repaid." Malcolm hesitated before continuing when he tried to determine how he could carry out the sentence. They couldn't have an execution such as this at the time. He knew the people would begin to wonder what would happen if one of their own was willing to attempt violence against their own ranks. 
He was able to recall a few things that would play to his government’s advantage with this moment. With OZ now an independent entity and the real orchestrator of Lady Lindemann’s assassination in the room, they could permit him to be a separate case from the Earth Sphere while giving something to show good faith to their critical ally. It was the sort of thinking that his years as a representative for the First Priority had accumulated to. I’ll give you this Franz. You did show many of us to value the first opportunity of victory at any turn… He thought to himself before continuing.
He rubbed his head temples before he continued with the sentence, "...I regret to inform you however that you are no longer under the Kecker administration. Regardless of his return or his resignation, we now recognize your action as a confession under a new leadership. Regardless of Kecker's intention at the time, we can only recognize your willingness to follow on such an order as nothing more than subservience to the underhanded schemes of a prior administration..." 
Before Malcolm could continue he heard the Secretary of Justice announce, “Mr. President, I believe this sort of immediate trial goes against our constitutional process.”
Murrow was among those who voiced this concern when he reminded, "I should also remind Mr. President, if we go through this action we will hereby revoke any possibility of President Kecker returning to office."
Relena corrected, "If what General Ulbricht is saying is true, then the former President is in fact responsible for directing conflict among the Earth Sphere officials. Regardless of the extent of his work, it was these actions that we cannot permit the President as a legitimate leader.”
Malcolm nodded to the observation when he added, “Our charter with the new OZ has determined that prisoners of war shall be handled under their jurisdiction before being brought to the Earth Sphere Justice system.” He gave the final sentence when he announced, "With your guilt now recognized by the people, your status has hereby been revoked. With your fate in the hands of the new OZ leaders."
The sentence was carried out and it seemed the Earth Sphere politicians didn’t like the idea of working with this sort of man. Mercurio heard everything about the mission General Ulbricht conducted and recognized other families probably met with the same fate at one point or another. “I suppose it’s fortunate Uncle Milliardo didn’t remain here. He might have met the same fate.” He recognized. He remained with the mission when he prepared restraints on General Ulbricht’s hands while he apologized, “I honestly never wished to see such a day sir.”

As Oleg and the squad stayed low in their trench the Sol Thero units began to pass them like a threatening thunderstorm. They were spared when the programming in the Sol Thero unit determined on their red screens, 'Not vital to mission. Threat inconsequential.' Regardless of what Oleg could know how the mobile dolls were working he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them leave. His moment was interrupted when he heard someone on the channel announce, "This is secondary team. The enemy is making its way to the outer edge of the city."
Oleg didn't see the mobile dolls moving back to their location and decided to respond, "You're able to track them without getting noticed?"
"They're probably not on orders to destroy everything that moves."
The leading voice rallied the Leo III units, "Let's get around and see if we can flank them."
Oleg moved his Leo unit out of the trench when he tried to warn, "Hold up!" Almost as soon as he got out he saw the Sol Thero units turn around and offer a volley of gattling gun fire before any of them could get close. He was almost hit before he managed to rush back into the trenches. "Ah shit it's fast!"
One of his fellow pilots was clearly shaking through his voice when he asked, "Hey what's happening out there?"
Oleg took a quick look outside and saw the Sol Thero units continue to move without resistance. "Those units were practically anticipating secondary team's next move. Not a scratch on them."
Another one of the pilots was more frantic approaching the situation, "We've gotta have something to stop them! We let them get to any of our other installments we are off this planet!"
Oleg knew that close range combat at this point was probably not an option, but maybe the right distance could give them the advantage necessary. He signaled his fellow pilots to follow, "It's a long shot but we'll have to see if we can get a decent hit from a distance. Lets head to the weapons installation and see if we have the resources for one."
The pilots were slightly more encouraged at the suggestion but the odds were observed when one of the pilots asked, "We got something that can breach those defensors?"
Oleg didn't have any other assurance when he answered, "We better. Our only other option will be to bum rush them and pray for results." A plan no one at the time seemed to have excitement for attempting.
