Annoyance shocked Lana's mind out of the fog of grief and illness, if only for a moment. Had everyone known about the (rumored) nature of this world except her? Had she been so busy trying to protect Ema that she'd missed the obvious lying in plain sight? It wouldn't have been the first time. And, if she was honest, there was little she wouldn't give to have it not be the last, either.

"Mmm. How much does it cost him to bring in new ones, though? Perhaps we could be both critical and expendable. Though what he needs half the complement of the Prosecutor's Office for is still to be seen." Having quite a few people who'd worked together before actually made a great deal of sense if one was putting together a new legal system, but if they were doing that, they could just have asked. All of them wanted to go home, but the idea of building an entire world's judicial system from the ground up? Tempting.

Especially since many of them had little or none of it left to go home to -- Prosecutor Faraday was going home to die, she was certain to be disbarred, Gant had likely been on Death Row, Badd had called himself an ex-Detective...quite a few of them could have used a fresh start, and the ones who didn't need it tended towards bright-eyed idealism and would probably help out of the goodness of their hearts. Meekins would probably have gone anywhere she asked him to, despite knowing her sins.
