Chapter 15: Tribunal Trial and the Meme Defense Doctrine

Ne Job’s scroll now pulsed in red—a color reserved for divine litigation.

> “Summons: Tribunal Trial. Charges: Unauthorized miracle formats, causality breach, mortal influence escalation. Defense required.”

He sipped divine espresso and whispered, “Time to lawyer up—with memes.”

The Courtroom of Eternity

The Celestial Tribunal transformed into a divine courtroom. Gods floated in judgment. Seraphina sat at the prosecution podium, flanked by scrolls stacked like legal textbooks.

Ne Job stood at the defense podium. His team: Zyx, Glitchmaster, and a holographic goat named Exhibit A.

The scroll buzzed:

> “Opening statement required. Please avoid sarcasm.”

Ne Job ignored that part.

Opening Statement: Meme Doctrine

He cleared his throat.

“Your divinities, rogue miracles are not chaos—they’re compassion ahead of schedule. They don’t break causality. They bend it to serve mortal resonance.”

He clicked a button. A slideshow began:

- Slide 1: A mortal crying over a miracle they didn’t request but needed.

- Slide 2: A graph showing emotional engagement spikes post-rogue miracle.

- Slide 3: A goat in a lawyer wig.

The tribunal murmured. One deity whispered, “This is disturbingly persuasive.”

Seraphina’s Counterattack

Seraphina stood.

“Rogue miracles destabilize divine order. They bypass prayer, protocol, and oversight. They’re viral, unpredictable, and dangerously mortal-centric.”

She played a clip of a rogue miracle that turned a traffic jam into a flash mob.

“Is this divine?” she asked.

Ne Job smiled. “It was trending.”

Mortal Testimonies

Ne Job summoned holographic testimonies from mortal influencer nodes:

- @DivineDropz: “I didn’t ask for help. But the miracle found me. It changed everything.”

- @LoFiClericLive: “Rogue miracles heal what mortals can’t articulate.”

- @GoatWhispererTV: “Also, goats.”

Each testimony pulsed with emotional resonance. The scroll buzzed:

> “Tribunal empathy threshold breached. Defense gains momentum.”

The Causality Reversal Argument

Zyx stepped forward.

“Causality isn’t linear. Mortals live in loops—regret, hope, memory. Rogue miracles honor that. They’re divine echoes.”

He activated a miracle: a deity in the courtroom received a memory of a mortal they once blessed. The deity teared up.

Seraphina gasped. “That’s manipulation.”

Glitchmaster replied, “That’s resonance.”

Closing Statement

Ne Job stood tall.

“Rogue miracles aren’t lawless. They’re law-evolving. They don’t reject divine order—they update it. Mortals are ready. Are we?”

The scroll pulsed. The tribunal paused.

A new directive appeared:

> “Verdict pending. Rogue miracle charter under review. Tribunal law may evolve. Prepare for divine reform.”

---

Closing Hook

Back in his rooftop cloud, Ne Job received a scroll:

> “Promotion: Chaos Architect (Tier 3). Next phase: Divine Reform Council. Prepare to draft new miracle law.”

He cracked his knuckles. “Let’s rewrite the rules.”
