Behind Enemy Lines (Day Two)

[Akirapryde]

Frija walked up to Jaden with a smile on her face. Her walk, her mannerism and her demeanor did everything to hide the monster that Jaden knew hide within. "You are correct, young clone" she said walking towards him. "If i didn't know better, I would say you were a Jedi," she said holding the head for him to see. She laughed, "if I didn't know better." She tossed the head in the air and caught it, "but you are right. We can not be the judge of these poor people." As she spoke she motioned to the family who were now lined up by the rig. Their cries echoed as everyone watched the event unfold.

She motioned to three the Olivanee Partisans to come over, "we can't judge this family because we were never wronged by the Jedi, or their Republic backers." She turned as the man walked and spoke in Olivanese. Her speech brought a larger number of Olivanee over to where she was standing. They hung on every last one of her words. The family moved to find some comfort in each other as their cries got louder.

She turned back to Jaden, "This is the brothers, Somsak and Kulap" she said speaking of the first two Olivanee that walked up. They were no older than Jaden was, but the look in their eyes told Jaden that they had seen hell. She pointed near the Resolute crash site, "their home was over there. They lost everything when the Jedi fell from the sky."

Frija put her hand on a woman that walked up,"This is Intira," Frija said, "her husband was burned alive last month." Frija motioned to the three, "these three are all Olivanee, they have a vested interest in this war and the crimes that take place on this world. We shall allow them to be the judge of this family."

She motioned for another Olivanee to translate for Jaden as she spoke to the Olivanee in their own language. "Brothers and sisters in arms, a crime was committed against your world." she pointed to the Republic soldier who was bound and helpless. "This man, who had taken to war against your people. Take to war against your world. Who would bomb your homes, set fire to your families, was fleeing from us. Fleeing from the retribution of Olivan, sought shelter with this family!" she said pointing at the family being held. She continued speaking in Olivanee as the translator spoke in basic. "This family, these, who are of your blood. Who knew what this man and those like him did to your world, to your people. This family, attempted to hide him from us. Hide him from the justice that we were going to give him."

She motioned to the three, "these three, members of our family." She said speaking of the three she introduced to Jaden. "These three shall speak for all of us. They shall judge this family for their crimes against this world, and the good people of Olivan." She turned to the three, "you know their crime, you know that the invader was captured in their home. His wounds freshly treated. The law is clear. No one shall render aid in any form to the enemy. We, your family ask you to judge them for their crimes."
