Ethan stood from his seat, buttoning his suit jacket. Then he walked toward the podium calmly.
It felt a bit nostalgic making the walk but when he finally reached the podium, he steadied himself and lifted his gaze to the Court Warden.
"Your Honor," Ethan began. "I stand before you today on behalf of Stark Industries and Miss Lucy Hargreeves, Lead Research and Development Engineer at the company. The injunction we filed is necessary to prevent further harm to a business that has already suffered considerable damage."
He paused, letting that settle.
"Miss Hargreeves is an employee of Stark Industries. She has been working on the development of a mecha using company resources, company facilities, and company tools. This project was undertaken with the full backing and investment of Stark Industries."
"The design she has been working on is based on the intellectual property of her late father, Isaac Hargreeves, a patent which she legally inherited upon his death two years ago."
