Oa is a planet used by the Green Lantern Corps as its main headquarters. During the Space House vacation, the A.I. unit S.H.A.D.I. announced they were reaching their final destination in moments. Everyone speculated where that would be. Green Lantern guessed incorrectly it was the Emerald Forest of Oa. The Guardians of the Universe held a disciplinary hearing to determine whether or not Jessica Cruz was in violation of the Green Lantern code 3.4.8-0, Article V. Kilowog acted as the prosecutor and created a construct of the book about the Corps's code to make sure. He also made himself a construct of reading glasses. They dissipated once he was done then used his ring to activate the screen in the tribunal room. He stated an alien menace went on a rampage on First Street in Metropolis that threatened thousands of lives with sonic blasts emitted from its mouth but Cruz refused to attack it. Kilowog pointed to Cruz and asked her how she pleaded. She sat and smiled. Kilowog whispered to her that pacifism was her thing but she stood to lose her ring and advised her to throw herself on the court's mercy.
Cruz insisted she didn't need to plead because she already absolved herself in her incredibly long and thorough report about the incident. She asked him if he read it. Kilowog became nervous and lied he did, claiming he found it "wordful." Hal Jordan suddenly burst into the room with a suitcase construct and objected. Cruz was shocked and concerned by his presence. Jordan claimed he was saving her bacon and revealed he had been through a ton of disciplinary hearings and knew a Lantern was entitled to a peer advocate. He rifled through papers in his construct and produced one that showed he signed up to be her advocate and forged her signature. She saw the backward double "s" in the forgery and noted he spelled her name wrong. Jordan thought he missed a silent "p" and wrote it in then reiterated to Cruz that she could lose her ring and asked her to imagine a life without it. He asked her how she would get a kitten out of a tree, hail a taxi, or open a can of soup. He illustrated with constructs of each. Cruz made a broom construct to clean up after his. She replied, a ladder, a taxi app, and a can opener then stated she was not worried because everything was in her report and she had faith in the system.
Jordan asked to let him at least stay for moral support. Cruz obliged his request and told him to stay quiet. Jordan promised not to say a word. Kilowog moved to begin again. Jordan objected and claimed he was being immaterial. Cruz made a gavel and pounded it, overruling him. Kilowog was confused why she was overruling her own lawyer. She stated she just wanted him to be quiet. Kilowog sighed and repeated the charge was Cruz's failure to act allowed the alien creature to nearly destroy Metropolis. Jordan called it circumstantial hearsay. Cruz asked him why he was speaking. Jordan thought he was calling her bluff and floating up to the five Guardians presiding over the hearing. He stated he was just a simple man that dealt in simple truths. Cruz thought he was half-right. Jordan continued they were all present for the truth and noted Kilowog was not present during the said event. He asked Kilowog if he did or did not actually see Cruz not do or not-not do anything to not prevent or not-not prevent the alleged disaster. Kilowog had no clue how to answer that question.
Jordan thought he made a point then concluded Kilowog had no proof that any damages were a direct result of her negligence. He winked at Cruz and poured himself a glass of water. Kilowog produced Exhibit A, recorded testimony from a woman present at the incident, She claimed she saw everything and it was a direct result of Green Lantern's negligence. Jordan did a spit take. She made an umbrella construct. Jordan suggested a plea bargain. She strongly declined because she did nothing wrong. She tried to direct everyone to page 389, subsection G, paragraph 98 of her report but Jordan cut her off and told her not to worry. Kilowog called his first witness with his ring, Supergirl. She landed face first in the witness booth. Jordan thought he had the advantage since she was a BFF of Cruz's. Cruz stated she already had Supergirl's statement in her report. Jordan claimed "my witness." Kilowog pointed out he was supposed to say "your witness" when he was done but knew better and let him proceed. Supergirl asked Jordan what was going on because she was front row at a Pit Roach concert.
Jordan cut to the chase and asked her if she was there when the monster and its big mouth were tearing the city apart. Supergirl recollected she attacked the alien in Centennial Park but Green Lantern made a wall construct that ricocheted her into a Fresh Fish delivery truck. And the smell of mackerel was still in her cape. Kilowog asked her what happened next. She told them the alien destroyed the park's Metrobelisk which ticked her off even more because that was supposedly the only monument that didn't honor Superman. Kilowog interpreted it as Supergirl would have stopped the alien if not for Cruz's actions. He implored Cruz to change her plea so she wouldn't lose her ring. Supergirl became alarmed and tried to recant but Kilowog sent her back to Earth. Jordan saw it as proof that if Supergirl could not stop the monster, no one could. He made little constructs of Cruz fighting the alien. Kilowog called his next witness, Hawkman. He asked Hawkman what he remembered about the event from last Tuesday. Hawkman recalled he heard alarms, got there, saw the thing, pounded it, and it flew off scared. Kilowog sent him back to Earth.
Kilowog stated if Cruz was aggressive, the disaster could have been avoided. He declared the prosecution rests. The Guardians were ready to adjourn to deliberate unless Cruz had anything to add. Cruz was relieved and wanted to read her report. The Guardians nodded off while she read the title of the forward, "Forward, The Heroism in Pacifism." She started from when she was a little girl. Jordan exclaimed they were getting killed and nobody read the reports. He hit his head with the report to get an idea. He summoned a surprise witness, Garth Bernstein. He was confused. Jordan asked him if he was at the event. Bernstein started to say he was at a podiatrist appointment but Jordan fake sneezed and tossed a balled up paper at him. He wanted Bernstein to read the false statement on the paper. Bernstein was lost at "PJessica." Jordan was about to toss $10 to him. Cruz believed Jordan was going to get her ring taken away. Jordan believed her blind belief in the system would and insisted the Guardians weren't going to read her report. Cruz fired him. The Guardians adjourned.
Jordan left the room and threw his suitcase construct to the floor. He made a trash can to scoop it all up. One paper flew out. He picked it up, read it, and was shocked. The Guardians were about to issue their ruling. Cruz once again asked them if they read her report. They, too, got nervous and lied they did and it was "wordful." Cruz realized Jordan was right. She was about to be declared guilty but Jordan burst in and stated the defense un-rests. Kilowog countered that wasn't a thing. Jordan planted the report in his face and thought he was pretty sure it was a thing because he had to un-fire himself to do it. He wanted to call in one more witness. One of the male Guardians stated Jordan made a mockery of the tribunal and they began to question his judgment as a Lantern, in general. They granted Jordan's request but with the caveat he would lose his ring, too, if they still found Cruz guilty. He accepted. Jordan called Kongulon the Getalor to the witness stand. It was the alien from the rampage.
The Guardians cowered together and Kilowog stepped back and made a big hammer construct. Kongulon started to emit a sonic blast. Cruz made an umbrella construct then reminded Kongulon about her collar. She covered her mouth in embarrassment and pressed a button on her gauntlet. A glass helmet formed around her head and she began speaking in English. She apologized and admitted she constantly forgot to activate her universal translator, including last Tuesday when she visited Earth. She explained she was an officer of the law and responded to a tip that a juvenile prankster planted a world-destroying bomb on Earth millions of years ago, and added her race the Getalorpians had a different perception of time and humor, and it was about to blow up. In her haste, she rushed to Earth and forgot her translator. Jordan asked her if she came to Earth to warn them. She confirmed that. Cruz revealed she was using her ring as a translator to communicate with Kongulon.
Together, they figured out the bomb was located under the Metrobelisk in Centennial Park. She was enroute, got attacked by Supergirl, Lantern intervened, and she blew up the obelisk to extract the bomb in time. Hawkman attacked her but luckily, Cruz caught the bomb. She feigned injury so Hawkman would stop and congratulate himself. She flew into space with the bomb and threw it to a safe distance where it detonated. Cruz concluded if she used violence, Earth would have been no more. Kongulon added it was all in her report, held out her copy, and remarked it was a fascinating read. Cruz signed it for her. The Guardians were about to absolve her of any wrongdoing but she quickly summed it up as not guilty, they would read all the officers' reports before passing judgment and rethink their policy on violence being the only solution. The Guardian conceded but asked her to promise not to tell the Blue Lanterns or he would never hear the end of it. She volunteered to write up a report on the new policy that's so long, they wouldn't get through the title. Cruz and Jordan flew off into space. She admitted he was right about them not reading the report but asked him how he knew to call the Kongulon. He admitted he skipped to the last page. She thanked and hugged him. Jordan stated he would never leave a friend behind. Bernstein was still on Oa looking for a ride home.
