The Russian was used to that look, and didn't care. This man would be killed, if found guilty of war crimes. He was hooked up to a constant drip, the chemicals changed every twelve hours, all had the same effect. Guards were posted and a lawyer was retained for the man, criminal though he was he was still entitled to legal defense. The current Chems only prevented him from moving, he could now speak and see.

"MY SPECIES DIES CONTENT ON KNOWING A CHILDS BLOOD ISNT SPLATTERED ON MY HANDS, CAN YOU SAY THE SAME?!"
-
The lawyer look at the man. "Yes, if we all suffered because of crimes people committed no one would be alive. Now, there's documented proof of your crimes. I might be able to plead an insanity charge."
-
"YOUR PHRASES ARE SLOW AND HEAVY WITH LIES... YOUR WORDS MUST TASTE LIKE POISON..." [b]he breathes incredibly heavily as streams of blood fall from one of his eyes[/b]
-
"If you don't want legal counsel then don't take it. Either way you'll stand trial."
-
"I'll except your assistance... Yet I request you tell nothing but the truth, if I am to be executed may the executioner be coated in the blood of a humble Shepard..."
-
"And if I'm to represent you, you need to stop with the self righteousness. The ends do not justify the means. You killed my countrymen, never forget that."
-
"I will never forget what I've done, defender of the incapable, protector of the cutthroat. Those vivid images in my mind of the atrocities I had to commit will plague my very soul until the day I am killed... Yet I can sleep soundly at night knowing I did it to defend those who couldn't do so themselves, I can guarantee you those Federals cannot say the same, not the sane ones, not those in their own mind."
-
"Ah but we do. You see I'm a military lawyer. We sleep just fine because we killed the war criminals in our ranks."
-
"Victors justice, my friend. War crimes as petty as mine are easily overlooked by the Federals, they are the victors, therefore they judge the guilt of each war criminal. I would hope you would know these principles, otherwise I'd fend better in my own defense. If I was a fed, I would be no less guilty than you friend, but due to my standing at the end of the war... You can foreshadow my gate in your own Light."
-
"You don't get it do you? Anyone, fed, reb, or third party, I mean anyone who committed a war crime is being found guilty. There is no victors justice, not this time."
-
"Your so narrow minded. people only care for themselves. Those Feds will do anything, and I mean ANYTHING to save as many of their troops as possible and convict as many of ours, it's just simple human nature. It's another war friend, a social war, a war of the mind and of civil policy... There is no avoiding it, and I can guarantee your working to flip the switch on me as well."
-
"People only care for themselves? That's kinda funny, I've heard a lot about men and women who sacrifice themselves to save others. The soldiers, the police officers, the firemen, the Good Samaritans. I'm not the blind one, you're just bitter. You know, if you weren't such a self righteous prick, I'd pity you."

-
The guard busts him in the face with his rifle. Then he breaks one of the man's legs. "Quit trying to escape."
-
"Whatever..."
-
The lawyer shakes his head. "The guards have orders to kill you if you try to escape, so I wouldn't."
-
"I wouldn't count on those guards. Their necks snap easier than a bullet flies... Based on past experience."
-
"So you'd escape into a ship, far from your home, filled with federation soldiers, and robots with the directive to protect them. That's not a smart move."
-
"I've done it before, actually full of the best soliders in a galaxy, alongside one of the most dangerously perceptive AI in the universe" "[i]EYOOOOOO.[/i]" "I must have grown careless."
-
"You've grown insane. Justice will find you."
-
"I have no doubt"
