Lots of discussion, alternating between fierce whispering and raised voices (and a lot of quiet discussion in the seats here: I am staying well out of the way.)

Rather a great deal of back and forth about how Harry's actions play into the points, from what I can hear, and I keep hearing the phrases "all beings of the Protectorate" and "bigger picture" thrown around, as if they're trying to figure out what will fly with the Lord Protector and the Council Members.

I must say, Harry's deciding to go for the hostages did rather throw the mouse among the owls. The judges don't seem to be able to decide what to do at all.
