(Zombie-ing the Judge.)
The Judge considered the request for a very long moment. "And where did you get this footage?"
Domino approached the stand. "Archival records that were kept in our headquarters. Policy demands that for all offsite projects, that we receive backup copies at our main headquarters. This footage was retained after the lab's destruction." She handed her phone to the Judge. "You can have your techs check the metadata. The timestamps should check out, and I can have the Mewtwo Project records surrendered at my earliest convenience."
She could practically feel Giovanni breathing down her neck. Already, she was formulating her latest undercover plans. "Blaine, Wily, and Fuji all kept video records of their projects, so if you need further corroboration, I can access Blaine's records and have them sent here. We may also have copies of Wily's records, though I would need to search for those. After the lab's destruction, the surviving scientific team was disbanded and many went into hiding, taking as many of their files with them as they could. We've lost contact with Fuji and Blaine, and I can provide you with those records as well."
Since she was losing her job, may as well go all in or go home. Domino turned around and threw a knowing look to James. She was officially in his league, now.
Meanwhile, Giovanni was positively seething in rage.
The Judge looked over the footage, stroking his beard. "Very well, then, I will allow it." He glanced up and motioned for one of the techs to play the video. "Hook this up to your film doohickey."
The tech nodded and took the phone, going over to the desk and transferring the data to his computer in order to play the video.
Domino subconsciously rubbed at her chest and found an empty seat. She let out a long, cleansing breath, as that was the hardest thing she had ever done in a very long time.
