Title: Chapter 4: Irrefutable
I got the urge to play one of the Ace Attorney games after reading the part about the evidence. It seems they were very quick to come to a conclusion without conducting a proper investigation. Not everything is what it seems...but maybe I've played too many Ace Attorney games lol. But I do get the feeling something crucial is missing from that incident.
I'm actually hoping Alexandra is innocent, I really am. I know Aegis is looking out for the Betas but there doesn't appear to be anyone looking out for the Alphas (Though, like you said there may be some organisations out there but what can they do to Aegis?).
I get the Omegas are the peacekeepers; they aim to maintain a balance in this society, but there isn't anything to keep them in check from falsely punishing an Alpha (as far as we know). They seem so sure of their decisions and methods, but honestly, I'd like to see them taken down a peg or two - that no Alpha should be punished without a fair investigation and hearing. If not, how are they any better from an offending Alpha? I suppose they see it as performing justice, but from the chapters I've read between this and the original story, I get that some Omegas take enjoyment in punishing Alphas. And if one of those Omegas were an Enforcer to Alexandra, and she's found later to be innocent, it doesn't matter if it was an act of justice or not, they still took enjoyment from dominating and punishing someone smaller than them. They're really no better than an Alpha intentionally hurting a Beta. I hope this makes sense.
This is based entirely whether or not Alexandra is innocent or not lol (Which I hope she is).
Long rant is long, but I'm really enjoying this story. It's one of my favourite stories on this site at the moment, and the wait between chapters kills!
Author's Response: Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Ethically there is indeed plenty of room to see gray area in how Aegis operates, though it is important to remember that the system was put in place as a necessary deterrant to the inhuman way things were being run before the Omegas rose to power. There's still a very wide moral gap, despite how grim this particular situation looks. Aegis really is looking out for the Alphas as well, but in cases like this, considering the historical difficulties between the classes, it's hard not to err on the side of defending the seemingly downtrodden. I'm glad you're enjoying the story!
