Time to pause and reflect on the events that ed up to the team finding themselves at the cold, dark bottom of a whirlpool, surrounded by demi-gods and vampire leprechauns.

Let the trial begin! The team do their best to argue against B's incredible lawyering skills, which means mostly supressing the few good things Astra has ever done and highlighting all the terrible things.
