Occupy? But then, he was sentenced to death. Gabriel reminded himself that they'd just been talking about various dimensions, and that JC had told them he was from a different one. What he was considering was very, very possible. But it still sounded absurd in his mind, so he just stayed quiet. Besides, if JC didn't want to bring it up- and the way he wasn't directly addressing it made Gabriel assume he didn't- he wasn't going to go against that.

But it was sad and angry and shocked all at the same time. It wasn't this man's fault he felt this way. It was whoever was supposed to be in charge here. Finding this out just reminded him- he'd been lost for a long time.
