"How did the space craft `happen' to be crippled in such convenient proximity? — Was not the purpose of the expedition to find `oxygen' and extract it by any means? — During many years of occupancy was any effort towards biologic reconversion made by Life Form A prior to intervention of The Biologic Police? Was not Life Form A conspiring to cut off the `oxygen' of Life Form B as soon as their `travel arrangements' were completed? Did they not in fact plan to liquidate Life Form B by cutting off `emotion's oxygen' the charge on which human and other mammalian life forms run? — (Doctor W. Reich has suggested that human life is activated by units he calls `orgones' which form a belt around the planet)-Life Form A obviously conspired to blockade the orgone belt and leave Form B to suffocate in a soulless vacuum at the high surface temperatures that obtain on Life Form A’s planet of origin: 600 Degrees Fahrenheit-"

In short the plea of need offered by Life Form A is inadequate-To prepare a case would be necessary to investigate the original conditions and biologic history of Life Form A on location-A Biologic Counselor must know his client and be "trained in the body-prison contradictions of biologic law"-It will not be easy for Form A to find a counselor willing to handle "this horrible case-"

Brief For First Hearing

Biologic Counselors must be writers that is only writers can qualify since the function of a counselor is to create f acts that will tend to open biologic potentials for his client-One of the great early counselors was Franz Kafka and his briefs are still standard-The student first writes his own brief — then folds his pages down the middle and lays it on pages of Kafka relevant to the case in hand- (It is not always easy to say what is and is not relevant)-To indicate the method here is a tentative brief for The First Hearing in Biologic Court:-A preparation derived from one page of Kafka passed through the student's brief and the original statement back and forth until a statement of biologic position emerges-From this original statement the student must now expand his case—

Quote FROM The Trial -Franz Kafka

"I fancy," said the man who was stylishly dressed, "that the gentleman's faintness is due to the atmosphere here-You see it's only here that this gentleman feels upset, not in other places-" Accustomed as they were to the office air felt ill in the relatively fresh air that came up from the stairway-They could scarcely answer him and the girl might have fallen if K had not shut the door with the utmost haste-He had already, so he would relate, won many similar cases either outright or partially-That was very important for the first impression made by the defense frequently determined the whole course of subsequent proceedings-Especially when a case they had conducted was suddenly taken out of their hands-That was beyond all doubt the worst thing that could happen to an advocate- Not that a client ever dismissed an advocate from the case-For how could he keep going by himself once he had pulled in someone to help him? — But it did sometimes happen that a case took a turn where the advocate could no longer follow it-The case and the accused and everything was simply withdrawn from the advocate-Then even the best connection with officials could no longer achieve any result-For even they knew nothing-The case had simply reached the stage where further assistance was ruled out-It had vanished into remote inaccessible courts where even the accused was beyond the reach of an advocate-The advocate's room was in the very top attic so that if you stumbled through the hole your leg hung down into the lower attic in the very corridor where the clients had to wait-

Brief For First Hearing//

Case Of Life Form A

They sometimes mutate to breathe "here" -The gentleman is Biologic Court Building "here" -You see it's only "here" fixes any case from The Ovens-Not in other places-after buying the relatively fresh air-Life Form A arrives on worst thing that could happen to a space craft-Life Form A breathes from the atmosphere of alien planet-Form A directs all behavior withdrawn from the advocate into channels calculated to no longer achieve health and interest of the host-The case had simply reached to space stage-Assistance was ruled out Even the accused was beyond years- Life Form A's room was in the very top- "

"I fancy," said the man who was on alien planet, "that crippled faintness is due to the `oxygen'-There is no `oxygen' this gentleman feels but by invading and occupying `the office air' they can convert the `oxygen' up from the stairway of Life Form B."

The first impression made determines whole course of subsequent "oxygen" supply-A shocking emergency case-For how could he keep Form A?? — Sees someone to help him but it debarred action in turn-Could scarcely answer the people of Minraud-Brain directs all movement-Use a filter screen that scans the door with intentioned lunacy-Won many similar cases operating through telepathic misdirection-There has been dismissed an advocate from Minraud-Pulled in and replaced-Worst thing that could happen to present heads-Sometimes happened that a case took total weapons-The principal no longer follow it-The case had simply reached molten core of a planet where assistance was ruled out-

"I fancy," said the man, "that this gentleman feels white hot blue skies-Haste he had already so?"

Even so there is a devious underground either outright or partial misdirection-The office air are heads in bottles-Beyond all doubt intend to outthink and replace the advocate-A client revolution-For how could he keep fallen heads to help him? — Metal shimmering heat from the stage where further assistance melts at noon into remote inaccessible courts-

"Word falling-Photo falling stylishly dressed-The gentleman's insane orders and counter orders 'here' - You see it's only 'here' -Accustomed D.C. felt ill in the relatively fresh air, what? — British could scarcely answer him-Shut the door with the utmost haste-"

"Mindless idiot you have won many similar cases-"

Electric defense frequently determined the whole civilization and proceedings — Especially when a case fear desperate position and advantage suddenly taken out of their hands — The case had simply reached incredible life forms — Even the accused was beyond altered pressure — The very top operation — The client of mucus and urine said the man was an alien — Unusual mucus coughing enemy “oxygen” up from the stairway — Speed up movie made such forms by overwhelming gravity supply-Flesh frozen to supply a shocking emergency case — Amino acid directs all movement — won code on Grey Veil-To be read telepathic misdirection — "Office air" they can convert in dirty pictures of Life Form B-liquidate enemy on London Space Stage- Tenuous air debarred action of yesterday — Coughing enemy pulled in and replaced-

"The gentleman in body prison working our 'here' - You see it's only 'here' he ever saw even for an instant — Not in other places-Switched our way is doomed in the relatively fresh air-That's us-Planning to use the host could scarcely answer him-Of course Life Form B with the utmost haste would shut the door that was very important for our `oxygen' lines-So what else? — Defense frequently determined the life form we invaded — "

Especially when a case marked for invasion and manipulation suddenly taken out of their hands-Dismissed an advocate from Biologic Need once he had you pulled in to prepare briefs-The trial of The Nova Mob withdrawn from the advocate-The case had simply reached rigged any place-Pain and pleasure to squeeze the "office air" felt contradictions of biologic stairway-Crippled in such convenient advocate-For how could he keep means during many years of someone to help him?-
