Host CO_Ian says:

Host ADM_Sarak says:

MO_Maor says:
::enters the room and looks around::

CTO_Bucha says:
Ops: I hear that.  ::smiles::

Cap_Dilzo says:
::looks over the room to see who else he recognizes::

Cap_Roth says:
Dilzo: Yes but since you are here I will not be needed.  And I believe General K'tarn wants me to report to him ASAP.

Ops_Ander says:
FCO: You look good in red, Lehari.

Host Amb_McD says:
::looks quickly over his single PADD that was given to him...then closes his eyes for a moment. A slight headache starts to build::

CEO_McLir says:
::Takes a deep breath and slowly releases it::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
::enters the Room as Captain Roth Exits::

Cap_Dilzo says:
Cap Roth: I don't like these things either, ::in whispers::  you can do this if you would prefer?

Cap_Roth says:
::heads out the door::

Cap_Dilzo says:
::stands as the Admiral enters::

EO_Keorn says:
::Whispering:: CEO: Sir I have never been to one of these and to be honest I have the jitters.

Ops_Ander says:
All: Admiral on deck...::stands at attention::

EO_Keorn says:
::Snaps to attention::

Host Amb_McD says:

Host Amb_McD says:

Host ADM_Sarak says:

XO_Wnters says:

Host Amb_McD says:
::pulls out his chair and sits queasily...slightly shakes his head::

MO_Maor says:
::sits down::

Cap_Dilzo says:
::has not met Sarak before .... sits and studies the head of the inquiry team::

DrMcCella says:
::Sits down::

Cap_Dilzo says:
::wondering just what is going on .... from what he has read .... two Captains .... one an ambassador ... a rogue ship .... very complicated::

XO_Wnters says:
:: unsure of the proceedings ::

EO_Keorn says:
::Looking in awe at the rank before him, noticeably intimidated::

CEO_McLir says:
::eyes drift from one board member to another::

Ops_Ander says:
::never been before a Board of Inquiry before...given the atmosphere, it isn't a preferred option::

Cap_Dilzo says:
::keeps poker face .... ::

Host CO_Ian says:
::shifts a little in her chair::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
All: Let the record show that this Board Of Inquiry convened on Stardate 990607 at 1600 hours into the events around the USS Scimitar last mission.

CTO_Bucha says:
::twiddles thumbs nervously...  awaiting proceedings::

Host Amb_McD says:
::knows he's being watched by both The Brass and the Senior Staff...feels like turning around and acknowledging the gaze...but that would break his control::

XO_Wnters says:
:: impatient, wants to begin ::

Cap_Dilzo says:
::makes notes::

CSOBandra says:
::Straightens in his seat::

EO_Keorn says:
::Shifts nervously::

DrMcCella says:
::Adjusts the way he's seated::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
CO: Have you complete the mission that was assigned to you?

Ops_Ander says:
::tugs nervously at collar...this damn uniform's too tight::

EO_Keorn says:
::Straightens his sash::

Host CO_Ian says:
Adm.: No, sir. I decided that it was too dangerous.

XO_Wnters says:
:: sits quietly, watching the crew ::

FCO_Jamin says:
::listens to the members, trying not to move too much::

CeO_Phill says:
::enters the room and looks at Captain Fritz::

Cap_Fritz says:
:;turns white when he notices the Chief Executive Officer of Three Rivers Mining enter the room::

CSOBandra says:
::watching Aurel::

Host Amb_McD says:
::still fairly stoic in his demeanor...even with the annoying corporate buzzard entering the room::

CAP_Dilzo says:
::wishes he had not had that extra beer last evening .... head hurts a bit::

CEO_McLir says:
::nods, agreeing with Capt. Ian's assessment::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
CO: Dangerous? How can one Intrepid Class starship be too dangerous for an Akira class ship?

CAP_Dilzo says:
::tries to concentrate ..... the Admiral is right .... Akira has power::

MO_Maor says:
::raises his head and waits for the captain reply::

Host CO_Ian says:
Adm.: Admiral, that Intrepid class ship destroyed two planets, and sent the Scimitar spinning three times.

CSOBandra says:
::doesn't like the tone of Adm. Sarak’s voice, fights to keep from jumping up and defending the CO's decision::

CTO_Bucha says:
::almost speaks out loud....  but holds back::

Ops_Ander says:
::thinks, if the admiral was there, he'd know::

DrMcCella says:
::Listens intensively, knowing they're not buying it...::

EO_Keorn says:
::Looks at the rest of he crew to see if they are as nervous as he is::

Host Amb_McD says:
::almost feels like accepting guilt for everything that has happened...this isn't supposed to be a hitting spree upon Aurel for his problems::

Cap_Fritz says:
::looks at the Captain as if she crazy:: CO: With what, a death beam?

CEO_McLir says:
::Puts PADD on lap which contains the damage reports of each encounter with the Opeongo::

Host CO_Ian says:
Fritz: No, sir. The planets were destroyed with two torpedoes. The Scimitar with phaser blasts. The weapons were modified.

CAP_Dilzo says:
::makes notes::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
Amb: Do you agree with the captain assessment?

CAP_Dilzo says:
::looks up at the Ambassador .... wondering if his face will tell him anything::

CeO_Phill says:
::sends a tight beam transmission to Captain Fritz to make sure the matter of the dilithium crystal is brushed over::

CEO_McLir says:
::Slips PADD to CO::

EO_Keorn says:
::Notices everyone else seems more composed than he is, tries to mask his nervousness::

Host CO_Ian says:
::nods a thank you to Niall::

Host Amb_McD says:
::plainly:: ADM: I do.

CAP_Dilzo says:
::squints as he tries to read his notes::

MO_Maor says:
::tries to avoid looking directly at the Admiral.::

CEO_McLir says:
::Winks at Skipper and grins::

Host CO_Ian says:
::takes a quick look at the PADD::

Ops_Ander says:
::looking straight forward...eyes "in the boat," as it were::

CSOBandra says:
::Picks up coded transmission from somewhere in audience to the board. Unable to read it.::

Cap_Fritz says:
Amb: Then why did you disobey a direct order during combat from the commanding officer of the vessel and steal a shuttlecraft?

Host ADM_Sarak says:
Action: Ambassador McDowell collapses.

MO_Maor says:
::runs to the ambassador::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
*Medic*: To the briefing room.

Ops_Ander says:
Amb: Captain! ::leans over chairs to see what happened::

CAP_Dilzo says:
*OPS* Be prepared for emergency beam out from this room... to sickbay!

CMO_McCel says:
::Runs over to the Ambassador::

MO_Maor says:
::scans the ambassador::

MO_Maor says:
CMO: We need him in sickbay now..

CTO_Bucha says:
::sees the Ambassador collapse and Cole rolls his eyes::

CEO_McLir says:
::sits up straighter and watches::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
All: This board of Inquiry is at recess.

CMO_McCel says:
MO: Let me see...

Host ADM_Sarak says:
Action: A medical team runs in to assist the CMO and MO

XO_Wnters says:
:: He probably did that on purpose ::

CTO_Bucha says:
::leans to Ops:  Ops: that's one way break the heat, huh.....

CAP_Dilzo says:
::moves quickly to the Ambassador ..... checks pulse and things .... sees a Doctor and lets him do it::

Ops_Ander says:
CTO: Somehow I don't think the heat's going to be off us for too long.

CSOBandra says:
::Sees the ambassador collapse , rushes over to him, dropping the tricorder on the CO's chair::

CTO_Bucha says:
Ops: Agreed.

CAP_Dilzo says:
::thinks ... 'and I could have been sailing with Tessa today ....'

Ops_Ander says:
CMO: How is he, Doc?

CEO_McLir says:
::Stands, watches, holds comments::

Host CO_Ian says:
::watches the medical personal and hears something, looks over and picks up the tricorder::

Cap_Fritz says:
::approaches Phillips and talks in whispers...hoping no one notices::

MO_Maor says:
CMO: we need him in sickbay NOW!

CAP_Dilzo says:
::tries to remember what he was going to ask before the medical emergency::

CSOBandra says:
::the medics arrive and he gets out of their way watching them do their work, moves back to his seat, whispers:: CO: There’s something you should see.

Ops_Ander says:
MO: Steady, Ensign.

CTO_Bucha says:
::with the recess order...   Cole stands to stretch a little::

CAP_Dilzo says:
::sits back .... and thinks about raktajino ....::

XO_Wnters says:
:: looks at the CO :: CO: Leave it to the Ambassador to cause another fuss.

CeO_Phill says:
::Does not look happy:: Fritz: I want no mention of the dilithium crystal and if there is...bury them....suggest a court martial or something::

CMO_McCel says:
MO: Give me the tricorder.

MO_Maor says:
::looks for the tricorder::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
<Medic>CMO, MO: We will take it from here.

Ops_Ander says:
::turns to Jamin:: FCO: So, I see you've decided to put away the counselor's couch for a while.

Host CO_Ian says:
CSO: What's that? ::looks up at XO’s comment:: at least it gives us a little more time.

CEO_McLir says:
::Glances about room, wondering who the non-Starfleet types are::

Cap_Fritz says:
::returns to his seat....looking slight worried::

CMO_McCel says:
::Stands up and steps back allowing them to take him::

CeO_Phill says:
::wonders if the fool can be trusted::

CSOBandra says:
CO: ::Still whispering:: the tricorder, I detected something odd.

XO_Wnters says:
CO: Yes, it delays things a little, I wonder if someone in Starfleet is involved with the syndicate.

MO_Maor says:
::walks away feeling mad::

FCO_Jamin says:
Ops: Hmm? Oh, yeah. Though I could do some counseling on the bridge, if the captain and situation allow it. ::smiles a bit::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
Action: The medics whisk McDowell to SB177 Sickbay.

Host ADM_Sarak says:
All: We shall resume.

Host CO_Ian says:
XO: I was wondering the same thing. ::grins::

CAP_Dilzo says:
::sits up and tries to look attentive ::

CEO_McLir says:
::Turns to face the Admiral::

Ops_Ander says:
::hears the Admiral's order, sits back down::

CEO_McLir says:
::Is again seated::

CTO_Bucha says:
::returns to his seat and attention::

XO_Wnters says:
:: straightens up in chair again and brings attention back to admiral ::

MO_Maor says:
::siting down looking on the tricorder::

CAP_Dilzo says:
Sarak: If it is all right ... I have a question for Captain Ian?

Host CO_Ian says:
::sits back down::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
::nods to Dilzo::

EO_Keorn says:
::Picks up the glass of water before him and takes a drink, his hand slightly shaking::

CSOBandra says:
::Sits leaning over to Aurel:: CO: Take a look.

Host ADM_Sarak says:
Dilzo: Go head Captain.

CAP_Dilzo says:
::stands:: Ian:  Captain .... I would like to know why you approached a pre-atomic planet .... in the way you did .... the Prime Directive must have been compromised?

Ops_Ander says:
::thinks, compromised? It was already compromised when we got there!::

Cap_Fritz says:
::looks worried::

CMO_McCel says:
::Stands behind his seat for a little while, feeling uncomfortable, as he always does around admirals’ offices::

CTO_Bucha says:
::glares at Dilzo....  ::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
CO: That was not the Question... You did not know that at the time did you?

XO_Wnters says:
:: whispers :: CO: They are trying to set you up!

CEO_McLir says:
::Eyes slitted, stares at Dilzo::

CeO_Phill says:
::looks slightly worried::

Host CO_Ian says:
Dilzo: Our crystal had broken. But we detected the Pittsburgh.

CAP_Dilzo says:
::looks surprised at the Admiral's interjection::

Host CO_Ian says:
::mentally shakes her head::

CAP_Dilzo says:
CO Ian: Captain Ian.... did you take any steps to ascertain what status in Federation terms the planet was ... before you started to get dilithium?

Cap_Fritz says:
Co: But you entered orbit of the planet before the Pittsburgh...Heck you headed to the planet way before you detected the planet.

CAP_Dilzo says:
Ian: I mean.... as far as the Prime Directive is concerned .... albeit you were away from Federation space.

Host CO_Ian says:
Dilzo: No sir. We were far out of Federation space. We assumed it was a non-Federation planet.

Cap_Fritz says:
CO: You still have not explained why you headed for a pre-atomic planet...What are you hiding captain?

CAP_Dilzo says:
Ian:  As I said.... did you ascertain whether the planet would be barred from interference .... as the Prime Directive insists?

CeO_Phill says:
::notices that Fritz is doing as he was told::

CTO_Bucha says:
::wants to speak out....   but doesn't::

CEO_McLir says:
::Irish temper starts to rise::

CAP_Dilzo says:
::nods at Fritz::

Ops_Ander says:
::even for a court of inquiry, this is badgering...::

EO_Keorn says:
::starts to feel anger level rise at the badgering the CO is taking::

Host CO_Ian says:
Dilzo: I am hiding nothing. Yes we headed for the planet and went into orbit but we did not contact the inhabitants or beam down before we spotted the Pittsburgh.

Host ADM_Sarak says:
CO: The Board is waiting why are you ignoring Captain Fritz's Question?

CTO_Bucha says:
::glances at McLir...  and sees the rage building::

CAP_Dilzo says:
::sits down to let Fritz take over questioning ... sure that the Admiral has heard:: Ian:  Then that is the answer I expected to hear .... and I am satisfied.

Ops_Ander says:
::notices McLir...uses hand signals to tell him to calm down::

Cap_Fritz says:
CO: But why orbit the planet surely you know interference with a pre-atomic planet is forbidden?

MO_Maor says:
::looks at the admiral:;

CSOBandra says:
::Gritting teeth to keep his Klingon nature from surfacing too much. Trying not to get up and beat Captain Fritz soundly::

XO_Wnters says:
Fritz: We had already detected the Pittsburgh in orbit when I ordered the ship into orbit.

CEO_McLir says:
::sees Ed's signals, and ignores him::

CAP_Dilzo says:
::wonders why Winters feels he has to interrupt ... not good news::

MO_Maor says:
::starts to get mad::

Host CO_Ian says:
Fritz: How would you suggest we either go home or continue chasing the Opeongo without a replacement dilithium crystal? Drifting? :: raises her voice::

EO_Keorn says:
::Looks at Niall with similar fire in his own eyes::

FCO_Jamin says:
::listens to the questions directed at the CO, thinks: They

Amb_McD says:
::wakes up...in Sickbay...figures...immediately jumps off the bed and storms back to the Briefing Room::

XO_Wnters says:
Fritz: I was in command at the time.

Ops_Ander says:
::notices that McLir is still ticked off...then sees Maor in a similar mood...hopes there won't be a shouting match::

Cap_Fritz says:
CO: So you planed to get crystals from a pre-atomic planet?

CAP_Dilzo says:
<Sickbay attendant> *SB Ops* My patient has discharged himself ... Ambassador McDowell is free on the Starbase!

Host CO_Ian says:
::calms down a little:: Fritz: We were considering our options, sir.

MO_Maor says:
::not hearing the message::

CEO_McLir says:
::Realizes Ed is right, won't help to lose temper now.  Takes a deep breath::

CTO_Bucha says:
::hears Comm and thinks:  Oh Great!::

CSOBandra says:
::happily imagining Fritz's neck in his hand::

Amb_McD says:
::enters the room:: Admiral, Dilzo, etc: Excuse me. ::sits back down::

CAP_Dilzo says:
<SBOPS> *Sickbay* We will advise security.

Ops_Ander says:
::sees McDowell re-enter the room...at least he's OK::

Cap_Fritz says:
::turns to admiral:: Sir I motion the crew of the USS Scimitar stand trail for breaking the Prime Directive.

CAP_Dilzo says:
<SBOPS>*Security* Apprehend Captain McDowell, if he is anywhere but at the Board of Inquiry.

Amb_McD says:
::looks at Fritz:: Fritz: I respectively refute that motion.

CTO_Bucha says:
::sees McD enter the room...  and thinks again:  At least we don't have to chase him down.::

CAP_Dilzo says:
<SB Security>*OPS* Acknowledged.... ::sends out teams::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
::waits for Captain Dilzo reaction:: 

MO_Maor says:
::closes his hand in a fist formation::

CAP_Dilzo says:
::makes notes::

CeO_Phill says:
::is grinning ear to ear:::

CSOBandra says:
::Jumps to his feet at that suggestion::

Ops_Ander says:
::thinks, based on what evidence?::

FCO_Jamin says:
::sees Ambassador reenter room::

Host CO_Ian says:
::signals K'vin to sit down::

CAP_Dilzo says:
Admiral: Permission to comment Sir?

CMO_McCel says:
::Doesn't react to the Admiral::

XO_Wnters says:
Admiral: We had already detected the Pittsburgh beaming dilithium from the planet before we entered orbit. We had also detected the advanced communication and sensor net.

EO_Keorn says:
::Looks at the fingernail creases in his palms and tries to relax::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
XO: You are out of order.

MO_Maor says:
::really getting mad::

XO_Wnters says:
:: glares at Admiral ::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
All: The Board will now vote on whether the command crew of the USS Scimitar shall stand trail for willingly violating the Prime Directive.

CSOBandra says:
::Growls::

Amb_McD says:
::turns around and quietly mumbles:: Staff: You will stay in order, if nothing more but to be respected as Command members, not Academy Ensigns!

CEO_McLir says:
::Leans forward, puts hand on John's shoulder and pushes lightly::

CTO_Bucha says:
::speaks out:: ALL: Now wait a minute!

Host ADM_Sarak says:
Captain Dilzo: How do you vote?

XO_Wnters says:
:: looks at CEO ::

Amb_McD says:
::flashes at the CTO:: CTO: SIT DOWN!

CAP_Dilzo says:
All:  I cannot concur with Captain Fritz's assessment.  The Prime Directive was certainly breached.... but I believe the danger of interference may have muddied the issue .... perhaps they were preventing interference ....::mumbles::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
Guards: Remove the CTO to the Brig.

Host ADM_Sarak says:
Captain Dilzo: Yea or Nay.

Amb_McD says:
::turns back around, passively watching the tribunal::

XO_Wnters says:
:: motions for the CTO to go ::

CAP_Dilzo says:
ADM: Then Nay Sir. ::wishes his headache would disappear::

MO_Maor says:
::stand up::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
Action: guards drag the CTO away to the SB brig::

CSOBandra says:
::Sits ::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
Captain Fritz: Yea or nay

Ops_Ander says:
::surprised at Cole's outburst::

MO_Maor says:
::decides to ignore and sits::

Cap_Fritz says:
All: Yea.

Amb_McD says:
::quietly stands up:: ADM: Admiral, sir...May I respectfully request the charges be dropped except for me?

CTO_Bucha says:
::breaks from the guards grip and walks along with them in order to the brig::

Ops_Ander says:
::stunned:: McD: Captain, no!

CAP_Dilzo says:
::thinks .... oh all gods ... another hero!::

CSOBandra says:
::Stands again, taking the tricorder from the CO:: CO: Aurel. Look.

EO_Keorn says:
::looks in shock::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
All: I vote Aye as well. The motion is carried.

CEO_McLir says:
::Glances over shoulder and sees the grins on the spectators' faces::

Ops_Ander says:
::realizes he's spoken up...hushes up immediately::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
Amb: I do have one last question for you Captain.

Amb_McD says:
::gives a respectfully calm look to the Admiral::

CAP_Dilzo says:
Admiral: Sir.... I beg permission to enter a minority decision.... I voted Nay.

Host ADM_Sarak says:
Amb: why did you disobey a direct order from the Commanding officer of the vessel and steal one of the shuttlecraft?

CeO_Phill says:
::sends another message to Fritz, uncoded this time..."job well done::

CTO_Bucha says:
::the force field raises confining Cole to a cell... and he yells back: This isn't justice....   we're being setup!::

Cap_Fritz says:
::gets the message and smiles...and thinks...I hope they get life or I am ruined::

Host CO_Ian says:
::Mutters something about Fritz's not giving her time to answer::

CEO_McLir says:
::Sees CEO Phillips fiddling with something in his lap::

CAP_Dilzo says:
::wonders why the setup is so antagonistic ... this is a Board of Inquiry not a Court Martial::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
Amb: I am waiting Captain.

Amb_McD says:
::folds lip over...he hit a spot of concern:: Admiral: Sir, under Subparagraph 12 of my personal Standing Orders from the Federation Council, I was required to complete my mission separate from the Scimitar's mission at all costs. As the Ship's CO was negating my abilities to finish the job, I was forced to commit an action that would normally be seen as illegal.

CSOBandra says:
::picks up the second signal::

Host CO_Ian says:
::looks at the tricorder:: self: loudly: Bribery?

Host ADM_Sarak says:
Amb: That is no excused for disobeying a direct order; as a captain you should know better.

XO_Wnters says:
:: hears the tricorder beeping ::

CAP_Dilzo says:
::squinting at his notes .... this is the most unusual inquiry he has so far attended::

CSOBandra says:
::looks at Aurel:: CO: So it would seem.

XO_Wnters says:
:: turns :: CSO: What is it Lieutenant.?

Amb_McD says:
ADM Sarak: Respectfully, sir, I was disobeying MY direct order, from the Council, when I was unable to finish my mission.

Host CO_Ian says:
Adm.: A question please sir. ::calmly::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
AMB: At the risk of the lives of the crew?

Host ADM_Sarak says:
::motions for CO Ian to wait::

Host CO_Ian says:
::nods her head::

CAP_Dilzo says:
::wondering what he is missing .... what really happened ... where is the truth...::

Amb_McD says:
ADM Sarak: Line 17 of Subparagraph 5: "This mission is to be completed...at all costs". And sir, that is a reason why I "stole" the shuttle. To complete it myself, alone, without any further damage to the Scimitar or her crew.

Ops_Ander says:
::wonders, why are we being railroaded here?::

CTO_Bucha says:
::curious of the proceedings....   Cole wonders if he will soon see his crew join him in the brig?::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
::Does not looked convinced by Captain McDowell:: CO: you have something to add?

CSOBandra says:
::Extremely angry, can't wait for a chance to work out some of this aggression on the holodeck::

CEO_McLir says:
::Thinks, this is a "kangaroo court".  They've all ready made up their minds.::

CAP_Dilzo says:
::makes more notes .... watching the reactions from the Scimitar crew .... puzzled::

Host CO_Ian says:
::holds up the tricorder:: Adm: Someone was sending coded messages in the room. ::walks over and hands the tricorder to Sarak::

CAP_Dilzo says:
::raises one eyebrow::

Host CO_Ian says:
::stares at Dilzo::

Amb_McD says:
::holds up his personal PADD, showing the same message::

Ops_Ander says:
::surprised at Captain Ian's revelation::

Host ADM_Sarak says:
::looks at the tricorder:: CO: That has no bearing on the current question. Please be seated captain.

CTO_Bucha says:
::remembers his ideas of Starfleet and doesn't understand such one sided grilling on the part of the board.....   grows furious::

CAP_Dilzo says:
Admiral::  Sir ..... we should advise Starbase security .... this hearing is supposed to be sub judice!

Host CO_Ian says:
Fritz: Take a look for yourself, sir.

CSOBandra says:
::Loudly:: Adm Sarak: No Bearing!  This proves we’re being railroaded.

XO_Wnters says:
:: stares at Sarak.::

Amb_McD says:
::squints at the Admiral…no bearing? Article 20 of Starfleet Security Code of Conduct requires that a meeting be suspended until any personal communications are cleared::

Host CO_Ian says:
Sarak: Be logical Vulcan.

CAP_Dilzo says:
::stands ..... worried .... sits down again::

Ops_Ander says:
::quietly:: CSO: K'vin...be quiet...you don't want to join Cole in the brig!

Amb_McD says:
::knows this is going downhill::

XO_Wnters says:
:: thought Starfleet was better than this ::

Cap_Fritz says:
Admiral: I motion that Captain McDowell be court martialed for disobeying a direct order of a commanding officer and theft of Starfleet equipment.

Host ADM_Sarak says:
All: Order, order!

CAP_Dilzo says:
::whispers to Admiral Sarak:: Sir ..... this is most ... unusual ...

CEO_McLir says:
::raises hand:: Adm: sir..

CSOBandra says:
::notices Captain Dizlo's behavior::

Amb_McD says:
::rubs forehead...this is repulsive::

CSOBandra says:
