Punishment

While Fargo was getting cleaned up, bit by bit, a few more people were invited to the Village Center. These were the respected citizens of Fargo other than Henry, who were the doctors. Their representative was Volohov as well as his wife, Liana. 

They also called some of the erudite citizens who had seen and experienced the events, but would still be able to help with the objective and logical decision-making. Among these people was Vivian and, by extension, her husband Thomas. 

While the confessions and the recording of accounts with the local citizens were going on below, Althea and the others still hoped to find other perspectives as well. After all, most citizens were at the height of emotions, and they might miss or exaggerate a few things.

However, what they would hear still made their blood boil. 

The type of abuse and oppression was so medieval—it was a shame that modern Terrans propagated it!
