Harper was once again sitting with his feet up. He pointed to a list on the wall. "Spilt up into your assigned pairings."

Once everyone had divided up, Harper tapped his controller and cell walls shimmered into being around the different pairings.

"Inevitably, you are going to really annoy someone to the point that they'll lock you up and throw away the key. Unless you happen to have a very good lawyer, or friends with high powered weaponry, you are going to have to rely on your wits to get you out of there."

"Have fun."

[Cells are fairly basic closed boxes, with electronically operated doors. They have two bolted to the wall bunks with basic bedding, a toilet, and a sink.]

Molly Hayes

Group Two
Cameron Mitchell
John Crichton

Group Three
Elizabeth Weir
Peter Griffin

Group Four

"Then that violates our human rights," said Elizabeth firmly.

"And they would be?"

Elizabeth screwed up her face, thinking. "Article 9, No one shall be subjected to arbitary detention, arrest or exile. Article 10, Everyone is entitled to a full and equal public hearing by an independant and impartial tribunal. Article 11, you have the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty according to law in a public trial."

She shook her head slightly. "Need to read them again," she murmured to herself.

"Sorry, those don't apply on this planet. Please try again later."

"Failure to comply with these rights will result in retribution from ~~the US~~ our planet," said Elizabeth firmly. "They know where we last were and if they don't hear from us in - oh," she made a huge show of checking her watch, "in another thirty minutes, then they're authorized to recover us with what force they deem necessary."

"That's okay, your execution is scheduled in twenty five."

"Deirymo," she muttered to herself. She smiled. "Well, feel free to sign your own death warrant at the same time," she said. "Because I can assure you that Colonel Sheppard will leave no one alive when he finds out that you've killed me." She paused. "And him," she added quickly, nodding over at Peter.

"Sheppard, Sheppard, where have I heard that name?" Harper said. "Oh, him."

"Lt. Colonel John Sheppard, yes," said Elizabeth, quirking an eyebrow. "I'm sure you won't enjoy making his acquantaince."

"Nice fellow, been and gone already, said something about not interfering in other cultures."

Elizabeth smiled, shaking her head. "Sorry, that's my mandate," she said. "Once I'm dead, there'll be nothing holding him back."

"He also said to tell you, not to worry, he's giving your hairgel a good hoome."

Elizabeth tried not to snicker. "Yeah, yeah. I'd believe it when I heard it from him. Why don't you get him here?" she suggested brightly.

"I'd love to, but like I said, he left."

"Well, give me back my radio and I'll just call him up."

"Sorry, no phone calls, it interferes with the smooth running of our execution process."

"Uh hu," drawled Elizabeth. "Do your people have any rights?"

"Of course they do," Harper replied. "Every third weekend of every second month."

"That's... well, it's appalling actually," said Elizabeth, frowning. "Do you rule by martial law? Fake gods?"

"Actually we all got bored and instituted a giant spinning wheel to make laws."

"Really?" asked Elizabeth. "How does that work?"

"Wheel of Morality, turn, turn, turn, show us the lesson we should learn!"

"And nobody ever questions the Wheel?" asked Elizabeth incredulously, staring at the door.

"The Wheel knows all, just last week it gave us the sage advice to 'Ware the Chicken that stalks in the night'."

"Right," said Elizabeth sceptically. "And has the Wheel ever given you bad advice?"
