Who:- Cerebrum and Jay
Where:- Gelf Cell
"You know...." said Jay laying back on one of the bunks in the cell "You
COULD do us all a favour and STOP trying to be a lawyer!!"
Cerebrum peeked up at Jay from atop his glasses, the GELFS had provided him
with legal books of their culture, written in their native language, which,
was no problem for a hologram with a universal trnaslator built into his
bee.
"Really" he asked "And then what boat would we be in?! One piloted by YOU no
less, no thank you...."
"WHAT?!" Jay asked, he never understood Cerebrum's metaphors.
"I mean if I don't try to get us out of here, we might as well be on a
crashing starbug!"
"How many cases have you actually won before?!"
"A better question would be how many have I lost?!"
"Ok how many have you lost?!"
"8"
"And in your career, as a psychiatrist how many cases have you actually
defended?!"
"7.."
"Thats not a good win to loss ratio...."
"Look!" Cerebrum protested "I'm a psychiatrist NOT a lawyer!!"
"THEN STOP TRYING TO BE ONE!!!"
"At least I'm trying!" Cerebrum argued "What have you done?!"
"Nuthin'!"
"Exactly"
"But we aint in the court room yet, trust me we'll be fine"
"How can you be so certain?!"
"Because they have us on charges of trespassing and espionage right?! We'll
all they have to do is look at the black box of the starbug and they'll see
why were here"
"THATS IT?!" Cerebrum spluttered "You're placing our lives on the sole hope
that the GELFS might actually BOTHER to look at EVIDENCE?!"
"Yup"
"Well if you don't mind I'm going to continue to try and find a way to save
our hide's through proper legal channels."
"You mean YOUR hide?" Jay pointed out "You think I don't realise you'll try
and con your own way to freedom with blackmail and intimidation and leave me
swing from the gallows?"
"Whats your point?!"
It was at this point a GELF guard threw the door open.
"Your free to go"
"What?!" Jay asked, "Already? I haven't had any breakfast yet...."
"Don't push your luck." said a second GELF stepping out from behind the
guard. "I am the grand magistrate of this court" he said "You're friends
saved my daughters life for whcih I am eternally grateful,"
Olga, appeared from behind the magistrate "And what a handsome friend you
have!" she said, giggling.
"Heh" Jay smirked "Studly Phil does it again!"
"Phil?!" Olga spat "That minger?! Nooooooo I meant Seymour! What a stud!!"
Jay and Cerebrum looked at each other, and burst into hysterics.
"heehheeeeeee!" said Jay "Sorry..sorry...just Seymour doesnt strike us as a
ladies-man..listen...we need a way off this planet, do you think we could
buy a ship from you?"
"I'm sure we can come to some arrangement" said the Magistrate "But first,
you must join us and your friends for dinner!"
"What are we having?!" Cerebrum asked
"Live squirrels" replied the Magistrate
