<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Lying down in bed next to her sister, in the quarters they were sharing for moral support if nothing else.  Eos had wandered in not long ego exhausted and was sound asleep, unlike herself who was annoyingly wide awake.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::under house arrest on Starbase 214, awaiting some information from the Station Commander or the JAG corps on the disposition of the hearing::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::In a small bar on the station reveling in freedom::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Walking through the promenade looking for other Clay crew.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::drinks his root beer::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: After reading Commander TShara's orders on the topic, she was less angry, understanding the situation more.  But she was still angry at not being allowed to speak with her brother, to hoots with the captain part.::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::walks down the corridor and see a small bar nearby and decides to go in for a bit.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Notices Commander T'Shara entering one of the local taverns and decides to head that direction.::  Self: I wonder if Commander T'Shara has gotten any new information from SF about Captain Daylan's situation.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::enters the bar and looks around seeing Hayward decides to get a drink and head over.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::looks up:: XO: Commander T'Shara
Host SMDave ACTION: The door chime to Daylan's quarters sounds.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::finishing dressing after a long morning of mentally reviewing events and then taking a shower:: ::approaches the door, rather surprised that anyone would bother requesting entrance from a man under house arrest:: Door: Come in!
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Blowing out air in frustration, rolls out of bed.  Leaving the lights out, she dresses quietly in standard Bajoran style.  Putting on her family earring, she runs a brush through her hair and then is out the door.::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Commander Hayward.  Mind if I join you?
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Enters the small bar and looks around for Commander T'Shara.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
XO: By all means. ::pushes out a chair for her::
Host SB214CO_Chorban says:
::Enters the stateroom where Daylan has been confined::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
:;straightens his uniform as the other captain enters, nodding stiffly:: SBCO: Captain Chorban. Good morning.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO:  Thank you Commander.  ::takes a seat::  How are you doing?
Host SB214CO_Chorban says:
::nods to Daylan indicating that this is not a social visit::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CEO: I'm fine as I can be. Worried about the captain of course. Not that he never did anything wrong...but certainly not this. The accident with the Claymore was not his fault.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Walks over to Commander T'Shara and notices Commander Hayward.::  XO/CEO:  Commanders.  Any word for the top brass?
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::nods:: CNS: Nothing here.
Host SB214CO_Chorban says:
::takes a few steps into the room, but remains standing::  Daylan: I came to find out if you had retained counsel for you hearing or if you planned on defending yourself.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: With no destination in mind, just wanders.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::looks up at the Counselor::  CNS:  I'm afraid I haven't heard anything yet Counselor, not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing at this point.  But, we should all be prepared.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
XO/CNS: We can't let the captain go down. Not like this.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::nods::  CEO: Agreed, Hayward.  The accident was no one's fault.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Shakes his head.::  XO/CEO:  Not good.  I spent some time trying to gather information, but it only turned up me in the security office for 9 hours getting yelled at.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::matches the studied, emotionless expression on Chorban's face:: SBCO: It's difficult to retain council when I'm not able to contact anyone, Captain. And do I need council? Is this not a standard post-mission Article 108 hearing?
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
XO/CNS: At any rate, we need to present a unified front
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
XO/CEO:  Well if this is only a general board of inquiry I think we are safe.  But I still wonder why they...  Just a sec.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO/CNS: Aye, I got no where myself Counselor and I have tried.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CNS/XO: Excuse me a moment.  ::gets up and goes to the door, seeing Senn:: CSO: Commander, we're in here waiting to hear about the Captain.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CSO:  Lieutenant.  Lieutenant Senn.
Host SB214CO_Chorban says:
Daylan: Indeed it is.  Counsel is not necessary.  It is simply a fact-finding hearing.  However, I have seen these things turn ugly quickly.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Glances up from staring at the floor as she hears her family name.  With a sigh she moves to join the trio.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Notices Commander Hayward and returns to his sentence.:: XO/CEO:  As I was saying.  I am still wondering why all the secrecy.  It doesn't make much sense.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Annoyed:: CNS: They are not even talking to family.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO/CNS/CSO:  I'm not sure unless there is more to what is going on than just the loss of the Claymore.  ::raising an eyebrow::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CNS/CSO/XO: I have no idea what to do
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
All: For all I know they have not even appointed a defense attorney or allowed the Captain to contact one.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::frowns a little, not wanting to show his concern:: SBCO: Is there a JAG satellite office here?
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
All: For now we just have to try to be patient and wait until we are called upon to give statements.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
XO: This part is not standard?  I was under the impression from what you sent us it was.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Raises his had.:: Bartender: A light ale please.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: They're going to basically take their time on the investigation.  It could take months or even weeks depending on how they go about the investigation.
Host SB214CO_Chorban says:
Daylan: Unfortunately not.  We are out here in the middle of nowhere and not worth the expense of a JAG branch.  As per regs, you are authorized to enlist whomever you feel confident will best defend your interests.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
XO: I have filed a report... though I do not know what will become of it.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ALL: I'm not hanging out in my dress uniform for nothing
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
All: I wouldn't get too bothered by this.  They're going to discuss the situation with Captain Daylan first.  It is a little out of the ordinary to put him in house arrest and seclusion.  But, this is also a way of preventing collaboration and an untrue story.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CEO:  Well, you look quite dashing.  ::Snickers as he takes a sip of his drink.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: Mind you, we were ordered to be ready and in dress uniform
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::looks at the Counselor and raises an eyebrow at his comment to the CEO::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
SBCO: How immediate is the need for this counsel? Is the hearing supposed to get underway this morning? Who's going to be the president of the panel?
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::feels his mind boiling over with questions, but knows those are among the most important::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::takes a sip of her drink the bartender just handed her.::
Host SB214CO_Chorban says:
Daylan: The hearing begins in half an hour.  The panel will consist of three of my senior staff and, as ranking officer in the middle of nowhere, I'll be representing Starfleet.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::sips on his root beer::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::goes through a list of legally-minded officers he's served with over the years - none of them close by. His own ship's legal attaché had died in the cosmic string impact. Who else would... :: ::looks up quickly:: SBCO: If it's allowed, I'd like to request Lieutenant Renor from my staff for representation. Given our relative lack of resources, he might need help as well. ::looks at Chorban meaningfully::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: How is your crew holding up?  I'm sure sitting around with nothing to work on is getting to them a bit.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Finding the whole thing depressing, but figures this was a case it was better to be depressed with others who sympathize than to be alone.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
XO: Let's just say I'm scared to find out what they've been running on the holodeck
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::raises an eyebrow at Commander Hayward::
Host SB214CO_Chorban says:
Daylan: Very well.  For now, you should be able to get away with your logs, ship's logs, etc. which should be readily available through your shuttles and Starfleet's database.  Your representative may have one assistant.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
All: I for one think Starfleet is looking to pin this on anyone they see fit.  As Commander Hayward said we have to have a strong unified front for this one.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
All: Agreed Counselor
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Looking over at Eris::  CSO: I'm sorry Lieutenant I wish there was more I could do to help you and Eos at the moment.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
XO: Thanks Commander.  At the moment, Eos is lost in dreams.  At the moment, I envy her.
Host SB214CO_Chorban says:
*CNS*: Counselor, this is Captain Chorban.  Your presence is requested in stateroom 312 on the double.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: If the captain goes, what's to stop them from coming after us?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CEO: We did not do anything wrong.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CSO: Ergo, nor did the captain
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::adds:: SBCO: You should point out to him that he can have help.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Hears the message.:: All: Oh great now what.  *Captain Chorban*:  On my way sir.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CNS: That is where the captain is... :: wants to go with.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: Good luck
Host SB214CO_Chorban says:
Daylan: That's your job, Captain.  I have fulfilled my duties here.  ::still looks a bit depressed as though he's doing all this under duress::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Finishes his drink quickly.::  All:  I will keep you all informed.  At least if they let me.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Leaves the bar and heads to Captain Daylan's quarters.::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CNS: Good luck Counselor.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Watching the counselor leave, she sighs and leans back in the chair.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::sympathizes with him. Command was hard enough under normal circumstances, but having to stand in judgement over a peer was especially difficult:: SBCO: Thank you for your indulgence, Captain. I hope that this is all rectified quickly and satisfactorily, but I know you're doing your duty as I would - if the positions were different. ::weakly::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::After a short walk buzzes the COs door.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
XO/CSO: Maybe it's time I started drinking again
Host SB214CO_Chorban says:
::starts a bit as the door chime sounds::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: shakes her head no::
Host SB214CO_Chorban says:
::moves to the door to open it::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Stands tall and waits for the door.::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO/CSO: I don't think that would be wise, Commander.  You don't know if you will be next to be called upon, and you need to have your faculties about you if you are to help.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
XO: Logical... ::laughs at himself::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
XO: I am not used to all this inactivity.  I might just start climbing the walls.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks over Chorban's shoulder as the door opens::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Watches the door open.:: Captain Chorban: Captain.  Lieutenant Renor reporting, sir.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CEO: We could always repaint their shuttles.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO/CEO: I have to admit I too am not used to just sitting around waiting.  What is the saying I've heard used?  "For the next shoe to drop?"
Host SB214CO_Chorban says:
CNS: Come in, Lieutenant.  ::motions::
Host SB214CO_Chorban says:
Daylan: Half an hour in holodeck 2, Captain.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
Captain Chorban:  Thank you, sir.  ::Enters the room and nods to Captain Daylan.::
Host SB214CO_Chorban says:
::exits thru the open door at a brisk pace::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CSO: Somehow I find empty promise in that - we don't know where those shuttles will end up
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CEO: It matters?
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Turns to see Chorban leave and looks over at Daylan a bit confused.:: CO: Sir, what, if I may ask is going on?
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::nods as Chorban exits and then turns to Renor:: CNS: Before I go into that, tell me you're acquainted with Federation Law and Starfleet statutes in particular. I would expect you to be.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CSO: To me it does. There was a lot of me on the Claymore, and the shuttles are kind of like the last surviving pieces of her. I serviced them myself most of the time.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO/CSO: Maybe Hayward is concerned they will wind up on our next ship.  When we are assigned one.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CO: Yes, of course.  I took several law classes as part of the diplomacy requirements and for my own personal use, but I don't understand.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::just stares into his root beer::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Have you spoken to your wife since we made it to the station?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
XO/CEO: If things go wrong, they will not let us serve on the next ship together... they will make certain we are separated.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::absently, looking away:: XO: No...we...she...we just don't talk much anymore. It's like we grew apart. Yet I remain faithful...I am conflicted about it
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::snorts:: CSO: Oh you've got that right
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::takes a breath and faces Renor:: CNS: I'm facing an Article 108 Hearing. It's pretty common following the loss of a ship. But these things don't always go as routinely as one would expect. I'm not sure how up on it you are, but Captain Chorban said you could have an assistant. ::sighs:: I would like to see one of my sisters.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CEO/XO: Can this be anymore depressing?  Holoprogram anyone?
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CSO: I-I can't right now. Too hard to turn off.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: I'm sorry to hear about you and your wife Commander.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::swills his root beer:: XO: It happens
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: What did you have in mind, Lieutenant?
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CO: I'm familiar with that Article very well, since it also has a lot to do with sale of Federation property.  I saw Lieutenant Eris Senn in the lounge a few minutes ago.  I can have her come up if you can see her.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CO: I'm assuming you are still on house arrest?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
XO: Anything, Commander, to take our minds off the current situation before one of us does something that will get themselves into trouble... which my brother does not need.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CO: Are you allowed additional representation?
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::nods:: CNS: And the hearing starts in 30 minutes. We need to get moving. Can Eris make it here quickly?
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CO: I'll get her quick, Captain.  *CSO*: Lieutenant, please report to Captain Daylan's quarters ASAP.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: Agreed.  The Captain doesn't need any of us getting into trouble right now.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
XO: Finally... :: Hopes off the chair.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CEO/XO: I will see you later.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: Well, another time then.  Good luck, Lieutenant.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Nods and exits very quickly.::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::takes another sip of her tea::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
XO: She went fast
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CO: Lieutenant Eris should be here soon.  She has been worried about you.  So are they trying to pin the loss of the Claymore on you alone?
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::nods:: CEO: Not surprising with as close as the Captain is to his sisters.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: At the lift, she orders it a few levels up.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
XO: That he is
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
:;shrugs:: CNS: I'd rather not think they're trying to 'pin' anything on me at all. This is a hearing.. .an inquest to determine the facts of the loss of Claymore. As her commanding officer, I'm responsible for her. But while I'm in here, T'Shara will need to take care of the crew. I'd like you to get word to her.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CO: I will inform Commander T'Shara of the situation once we are done here.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Stepping from the lift, she stops at her brothers door, takes a deep breath and activates the chime.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CO:  First I need to get all the sensor data from the shuttle that Eris was in.  I'm sure most of the Claymore computer data was lost along with her, but the shuttle data should be most useful.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Moves to the door to open it.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Enters the room and nods briefly at the counselor before her eyes scan and narrow on her brother.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::hopes this is Eris as he follows closely behind Renor::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: It is most curious as to why they called for the Counselor right away.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CSO:  Make the happy to see you short.  We have little time to prepare.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
XO: Could be anything
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Her eyes shift.:: CNS: Prepare?
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::nods::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CSO:  It looks like you are now my co-counsel for this hearing.  Captain Daylan has signed me up to be the lead counsel in this hearing.  We have thirty minutes to prepare for this case.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::adds:: CSO: Sorry for the rude surprise. But it's good to see you. ::slips past Renor and gives his sister an affectionate embrace::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looking very concerned::  CNS: I have no legal knowledge... :: Looks at her brother::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Returns the embrace, slightly stunned.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CSO:  We have some leg work to do.  If you can pull all sensor data from the shuttle you were on that will be a big help.  Leave the legal stuff to me.  I need you to help gather evidence and help prepare the crew.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CNS: I have already done that... it was placed in a report that was given when we arrived.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CSO:  Then see how much of the Claymore computer information was dumped to SF before she went offline.  We can't afford to leave anything unchecked.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Steps away from Atlas::  CNS: All that has been done.  I am quite thorough in my job... especially given the situation.  If there is anything you want to know, I will let you know.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CSO:  Good then we have a lot to discuss.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks at the both of them:: CNS/CSO: Look, so far this looks like a routine inquiry. But on the off-chance it turns out not to be, I want you to know that I trust you.
