The group of off worlders seemed confused by his words - as if the idea was "out of the question."

“Trail Lawyer?” a blond, younger looking one retorted, “Just what is our crime?”

Gav took a moment to study them, to see if they were serious. Surely, these people were aware of what happened after they left last? Could they really be that clueless that they led the enemy to their front door?!

Another woman - possibly younger then the one who had just spoken - threw a pebble at a fellow prisoner, in another cell.

“Lieutenant,” the blond woman said, looking at the pebble thrower, “we all are baffled and frustrated here, but please,” she pleaded with the woman, “this is not going to help.”

Clearing his throat to return the attention to him, Gaverand pieced together a reply shortly before replying.
"Your crime - in nontechnical terms - is basically you bringing death of many to our peaceful village. Before you arrived here, our problems were minimal...shortly after you left..." he motioned to the guy that had the pebble thrown at him, "Those brutes showed up and killed many men, women, and children..." the words almost stung in his mouth, but he continued anyway, "Old and young alike received their grotesque wrath." he crossed his arms, "And I'm the only thing standing between you and the other angry villagers from stoning you to death...basically."

"What is this about a trial??" a faint voice hummed from the ground, Gav instantly craning his head to see the man who didn't look well.

There was a chance that these people didn't mean to lead those horrid fellow prisoners to this village...there was a chance they were innocent - and that was the ideal Gaverand had to cling to.

"The trial is to deem if you bunch are guilty or not, for the previously mentioned charges. It is quite a serious case."

Part of Gav hated these people, for their previous appearance had resulted in the death of his family...the other part felt a pang of sorrow for them. It could've been just a coincidence...or they were liars who were playing stupid.

'This shall be interesting...' he thought, sighing to himself.

While everyone else had been asking the lawyer questions, Alavair had been listening and keeping his mind focused on figuring a way out of this situation. Apparently when the team had left after their previous mission, the Admurians had located the planet and it had become open season. That had been more than enough for the natives to assume that they were responsible, and all things considered he couldn't blame them. All in all it was quite the coincidence, and he had to admit that were their places reversed, he would be wary as well.Sighing heavily, Alavair scowled as he heard the possible punishment. They would be facing death, and only because of the horrible timing of the Admurians. Oh...he hadn't liked them before, but now that hatred was being taken to a new level entirely.

Listening as he mentioned the purpose of the trial, Alavair almost laughed. It was like the man didn't think they had any idea what a trial was for, although that was a possibility considering their difference in culture. Having been Military Police while on active duty, he knew a fair bit about the way trials worked, and he could only hope that they worked the same here. Seeing the look of disgust that would occasionally fight its way to the lawyer's face as he spoke to them, Alavair smiled. Oh this was great. It looked like they had even given them a biased lawyer. This was absolutely perfect.

"Quite the serious case? You're only unfairly trying us for the deaths of your people at the hands of these imbeciles. I think the serious issue is how naive your society can be. Why don't you just convict us and get it over with? You'd just love to see the kind of attacks that will happen if we're harmed. If you'd like, I could show you how efficient we can be on our friend here..."

As he mentioned their friend, Al gestured to the large Admurian with the scarred up face. Laughing slightly, Alavair gave their lawyer a chilling grin. Sure, he might have overreacted just a tad, but at this point he had been genuinely annoyed. He was being forced to deal with an incompetent lawyer who didn't seem to care about them, and he had simply had enough. If they wanted to see a criminal, they would definitely see one soon if things kept up like this.

Marah stopped harassing the prisoners in the other cells. "Yeah Darling you heard her, I'll help you though" One said. Marah made a mental note of the face, she would get him the next time they met. She walked up to the bars and said in an emotionless tone "Remember this face because when we get out it will be the last thing you see" she then walked back to help Kale. Her head was cleared now of any fear that the prison had initially made. Now she was fit and ready to help get the team out of here. Alavair mentioned a demonstration on their cell mates next door, Marah smiled a evil smile at the Admurians.

Akentac to had picked up on the look of disgust that would occasionally fight its way to the lawyer's face as he spoke to them, and decided it was time to speak up "I know your not ging to beleve me but i understand whats happend, you see my people were invaded by a supereior enemy called the Goauld, worse they chased them across our Galixey, do you mind me asking who did you lose?"

<Zeole >

Akentac listened he could sense the raw emotion in the mans voice then he replyed "I losed my familly to the Goauld and join a resistence againsd the Goauld partly because i wanted revenge, but i was never satisfied, so if your doing this for revenge just to kill the pain, think again because it dosn't work"

Why don't you just convict us and get it over with? You'd just love to see the kind of attacks that will happen if we're harmed. If you'd like, I could show you how efficient we can be on our friend here..."

'Are you serious?!'

Gaverand narrowed his eyes at the leader of the group, as the chilling smile spread across the off-worlder's face.

"I get it. You can stop showing off for your little friends now - acting all tough to the only person that can save your asses. Violence at this given time is quite unneeded. There has been enough bloodshed for years to come. Settle yourself, Major Leah - for my intentions are not what you so unkindly suppose..."

"I know your not ging to beleve me but i understand whats happend, you see my people were invaded by a supereior enemy called the Goauld, worse they chased them across our Galixey, do you mind me asking who did you lose?" the only un-Taur'i spoke, his speech slightly broken - Gav assumed it wasn't his first language.
His words flowed into Gav's ears - a blank look erasing any anger he held within his features.
Before he could continue, the off-off-worlder continued, "I losed my familly to the Goauld and join a resistence againsd the Goauld partly because i wanted revenge, but i was never satisfied, so if your doing this for revenge just to kill the pain, think again because it dosn't work"

"I lost my family as well." his voice slightly hushed, "My wife...my beautiful daughter. It wasn't their time..." he trailed off, knowing he said too much already.
"I...I want to help you people, but you need to convince me that you're not the reason I am the last of my bloodline."

After everyone else spoke Erik knew it was his turn to speak up, of course Erik didn't know how to approach the man, he had never lost family like Zeole had but Erik did know how to convenience someone to see his point of view. So Erik tried to articulate the proper way of proving their innocence. "Mr. Zeole, I can't understand what you are feeling, I've never lost anyone like you have but you have to understand we are not the reason this happened" said Erik trying to relax their lawyer back to a calmer state "In fact we are trying to make sure this never happens again" Erik looked the man in the eyes "We are peacful explores, not war lords bent on enslaving races of the Delian Galaxy, thats the Adrmarians, the ones who destroyed your world. In fact my people have faced off against the Adrmarians in the past and they have taken advantage of us so if you must use your anger dierct it at them, the ones responsible for this and not us, we share your pain and we would like to help with medical supplies and food or any other thing you need" said Erik hoping to change the mans mind "So please help us, help you by getting us out of here so we can get you intel to strike back at your enemies maybe we could forge a new alliance, but before any of that can happen we need to be freed and you are our first step so please help us" said Erik putting his hand out to Gaverand.

Kim nodded at Kale’s reassurance that he would be okay. If Kale could pull through this with the help of his new team members then it would be great. With the trail upon them they would have to juggled everything.

Hearing the answer to her reply Kim looked at the man wide eyed as her hands over her mouth to stop a loud gasp from escaping, “Brutal killing?” she asked as she paled a little. Who would be heartless enough to do such a thing. Locking her feet, Kim stood where she was when the man told them about his loss after Akentac Tran Ware. Kim looked at him quietly.

She was snapped out her thoughts at Marshall’s voice. Without a word she listened to the Doctor, then looked at Leah then at Gaverand before nodding at Marshall’s word in a silent agreement. I just hope this works[/i], she prayed.

Kale listened to the conversations but is distracted by the pain from when he was slammed into the cell then he noticed that Marah came over to him and started to keep him company. Kale winked at Kim as she nodded to him to let him know that she understood that he will survive as much as he could. "Oh crap this pain is intense" Kale said in pain, Which causes another flash back.

Kale sat it his cell in so much pain from the whipping that he started to shake which would most likely be due to loss of blood, then he was watching some sort of creature in the corner then the next thing he remembers was that he was lying on the floor in pain and not knowing how he got on the floor but when he gathered his conciseness fully he gathered that he proberly passed out.

Kale comes out of the flashback in pain while being comforted by Marah, "I need to stop these Flashbacks, I need to stop them now" Kale said in pain, while he is trying to stop the memories from coming out causing his head to sort of hurt due to the concentration.

“Brutal killing?” one of the women, who had been quite vocal, asked - looking pained and paler then before.

"Yes.

One of the men, who had remained pretty quiet, finally spoke up, "Mr. Zeole, I can't understand what you are feeling, I've never lost anyone like you have but you have to understand we are not the reason this happened" he stated, "In fact we are trying to make sure this never happens again" he continued, locking his eyes with Gaverand's, "We are peacful explores, not war lords bent on enslaving races of the Delian Galaxy, thats the Adrmarians, the ones who destroyed your world. In fact my people have faced off against the Adrmarians in the past and they have taken advantage of us so if you must use your anger dierct it at them, the ones responsible for this and not us, we share your pain and we would like to help with medical supplies and food or any other thing you need" he said, "So please help us, help you by getting us out of here so we can get you intel to strike back at your enemies maybe we could forge a new alliance, but before any of that can happen we need to be freed and you are our first step so please help us"

Gaverand remained silent for a moment, not sure what to make of the situation.
"I believe you..." he didn't really - just sort of semi-convinced, "But I need some evidence that you are innocent. Like...proof that you were enemies with those who attacked us. That would be perfect! Honestly, it doesn't matter all that much what I think of you. That's not my job as a lawyer. I could think you're as guilty as sin, wish you all dead, and rather be anywhere but here - yet convince those who are trying you, that you are innocent. I've honestly done it before...so tell me something that is actually beneficial."

Gav's eyes dropped to the man on the floor, who looked worse-for-wear.
"Is he going to be alright?"

Marah leaned in and caught Kale before he blacked out. She looked at Kim, "Captain, he's blacked out again. Do we have anything to help him with the pain?" Marah asked concern written across here face.

<Tag Kim>

She looked up at the Lawyer, her face concerned for her team mate but anger at the people who really should be questioned. She gave a quick look at the Admarians who seamed to be interested with what was going on with them and the lawyer.
"I don't know I'm not a doctor, but I do know he is in a lot of pain and needs help. Are you just going to stand there and watch this. That just make you as bad as them". Marah Sighed gathering up her strength.
"Look Mr. Zeole, I know sort of how you feel, but revenge won't help, I know. On another planet I was in another team. We were close, some of us more than friends. On one mission we were captured by a alien race called the wraith. They tortured and killed my team in front of me. I would of been next but I was rescued. After that all I wanted was revenge on them for killing my friends and my lover. I got it when we found them again, I left none alive. But it didn't stop the pain or make me feel any better about myself. In fact I felt like a monster after, I had showed no mercy and acted like them. I dishonored my friends by doing that, and still haven't forgiving myself for it. All I'm trying to say Mr. Zeole is that please don't make the same mistake as I did"

Marah finished as Kale woke back up. "We are trying to get help" Marah said softly.

...I need some evidence..."

That was all he heard out of the lawyers mouth that really mattered. This man wanted proof? Thrusting himself toward the bars of the cell, Alavair gave him a cold glare. He had never exactly done well with captivity, the idea of being behind bars infuriating him. Now that he knew it was because of the Admurians, he was determined to get a little retribution. If this lawyer wanted proof that they were enemies, he need only let Al loose in one of their cells. He'd have his proof soon enough. Shaking his head, he tried to regain his composure. He had to keep his cool on this, or there was no way it was going to work out well.

"I'm going to be as blunt as possible. You have broken the law by imprisoning us, and if we aren't released you'll find yourself staring down a much greater enemy than the Admurians. I'll play along though. You want proof that we're not friendly with them? One of those bastards tortured my wife and nearly killed her. If you want to see some proof of the hostility between us, you just find out which one of them did that and then lock me in a room with him. You'd get your proof."

Stepping back away from the bars, Alavair moved over to where Kale was, determined to look after his team. He didn't really have a medic on the team for injuries or to help them cope with flashbacks, which was slightly annoying at times like this.

"You alright Kale?"

"Thankyou" Kale mumbled in Pain and Confusion to Marah when he come awake from the Blackout from the flashback, then seeing Al come over to his position and ask "You alright Kale" Kale nodded and managed to say "I don't Know Al, my head feels weird and it feels like Swiss Cheese"

Kale feels like his head is swiss cheese due to the overflow of memories and is struggling to manage them while trying to cope with the pain from his injuries in which he doesn't know exactly what is sore or not. "Can someone do something about this pain... Please" Kale said struggling to speak.

"Al," she got Leah's attention, "I'll need to get him out of here. Some fresh air might help him out," her gazed move to meet the lawyer's. In hopes that the man would understand. She refused to believe that his race would too cold hearted an other man's needs.

"If he stays here any longer he would become much worse then now," she looked at Law, "and her too. You are at an advantage, we don't have any weapons, and these two are not in the shape for physical fights."

Gaverand took a deep breath to gather his thoughts, as he noted the names they called each other by. His hazel eyes studied the man on the ground, "Kale", as his team members called him.

"Look, I'm not here to get you people killed. A little less hostility would be nice," Gav admitted, glancing back at a guard that lay just a few feet away, "...and I think I might have a case against you off-worlders, from losing the trial. But I must ask; is there any chance - no matter how small - that they followed you hear. Even if it's a one-in-a-million chance, I need to know..." he sighed, eyes falling down to "Kale", "I can try, but getting 'fresh air' is an excuse often used when people escape..."

Akentac had been silent for some time thinking how to prove there inocenses, as an idea formed in his mind he spoke up, "Mr Zeole i may have something you can use, do you have any scientists studying the gate, if you do ask them to download the addresses, i can provide you with a list of addresses we have visted, that may go some way to proving our inosense, how can was have allience with people we haven't visted"
