EO_Merna says:
::Closes the doors and finds his seat.  Sits down trying to get comfortable.::
XO_Hawkes says:
::Sits down, and tries to get comfortable again. Wonders why it is that he is cursed with uncomfortable seating?::

Lt_Pickatuny says:
Batlock: escape with my life? since when did the federation have a death sentence?
CTO_KBeth says:
~~FCO~~: Sic 'em Sarah...
CMO_Lea says:
@OPS: I just thought I might point out some of the crew's usual gathering spots.  ::Glances at Braxton with a bit of a smile:: MO/OPS: Perhaps Doctor Braxton wouldn't mind joining us?
Host CO_Myrya says:
<Janice> ::enters the predesignated area to wait for more instructions.. she sits with her bags trying to look casual.. she looks nervouse::
MeBeBatlock says:
P: Very hush hush...
FCO_Nichols says:
::walks up to the stand and gives the necessary information:: Court: Lieutenant Junior Grade Sarah Nichols, Chief Flight Control Officer, USS Delphyne.
Batlock says:
::hopes that he'll make his client feel better and shutup::

MO_Braxton says:
@CMO/OPS: Might as well ::smiles::
Host CO_Myrya says:
<w>Bat: I said nothing ::stares him down::
Batlock says:
::stares right back and smiles::
FCO_Nichols says:
Stone: As the Chief FCO, I am responsible for piloting the Delphyne as well as all pilots for the bridge, shuttles, runabouts, and workbees as well as the equipment named.
EO_Merna says:
::Sets his Duty PADD on quite mode and checks upon the status of the Delphyne.  Then enters part of his log.::

::smiles at Nichols reassuringly::
Host CO_Myrya says:
::nods at FCO's comment and checks her name agains her padd::
Lt_Pickatuny says:
::still white faced::
Batlock says:
::waits for Myrya to look away so he may... notices she does and focuses on the FCO::
FCO_Nichols says:
~~CTO~~ I do fly the ship right?  Sorry, I'm a bit nervous.
Host CO_Myrya says:
<Men W/O Hoods> Mutter to one another as they listen, checking over the ship they "aquired" at the same time::
FCO_Nichols says:
::smiles back at the CSO for a moment then returns her gaze to Stone::
CTO_KBeth says:
~~FCO~~: On occasion...when you aren't bumping into things like nebulas, dark matter...galaxies ::gives her a reassuring grin and thumbs up::
LTJG_Stone says:
FCO: Can you tell us the condition of the mentioned equipment before and after the repairs...were they scheduled for repairs and the result of any malfunction with that equiupment
FCO_Nichols says:
Stone: Nothing was scheduled for repairs.  I had only been back on the ship for a few weeks but my team and I had made certain that everything was in tip-top condition.
MO_Braxton says:
@::walks down to the command area::
Host CO_Lynam says:
::Watches the FCO, and glances occasionally at the defendant's table to see what they may be up to.::
FCO_Nichols says:
Stone: After returning to the ship the equipment was malfunctioning severely.
XO_Hawkes says:
::sits on the edge of his seat listening to Sarah testify::
ADM_Savek says:
::raises an eyebrow at that and commits it to memory::
Lt_Pickatuny says:
::wonder how much longer he has to liveand what he will get for his last meal::
FCO_Nichols says:
Stone: The workbees had been set so they appeared to be running but in reality no power was getting to them whatsoever.  This could have caused damage to the Keel Array which we were sent to dispatch per Admiral Grant's orders.
CMO_Lea says:
@::Nods approvingly and looks back to De'Shay:: OPS: Shall we?  ::Heads toward the turbolift doors and waits for the doctor and operations officer::
Host CO_Myrya says:
<Janice>:: While sitting there she notices a woman walking her way, directly to wards her eyes locked::
Lt_Pickatuny says:
::he also wonders why he had to go for the lawyer that finished 3,001 our of a class of 300....from a third rate law school::
Batlock says:
::looks over at Picatuney to see him paling and cheers within himself::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::remembers how those idiots nearly ruined that wonderful array::
FCO_Nichols says:
Stone: The shuttles and runabouts with the exception of the Europa and Tigris which were not on the ship had malfunctioning power conduits which Crewman Joseph my chief deck officer had to replace.
OPS_DeShay says:
@CMO/MO:Lets go.::Heads to the TL::
MO_Braxton says:
@::enters the TL::
EO_Merna says:
::Looks up after entering part of his duty log, then pauses it and starts to pay attention.::
OPS_DeShay says:
@::Enters the TL::
CMO_Lea says:
@::Tilts her head slightly and follows the other two in:: Turbolift: Airlock.
FCO_Nichols says:
Stone: The relay between my bridge console and the engines was also tampered with causing the Delphyne to redirect itself to fly into a star.  That incident is where we lost 10 engineers trying to correct the malfunction.
Host CO_Myrya says:
<Janice> ::fidgits in her seat as the woman comes nearer::
MO_Braxton says:
@CMO: I always knew you were going to take be up on that challenge and try to throw me out the Airlock.
CSO_Tarrez says:
::looks with concern at Merna::
ADM_Savek says:
::notes that isn't exactly a standard flight manuever, at least not in Starfleet's book::
Host CO_Myrya says:
::admires Nichols for her proffessional manner as she is being questioned::
FCO_Nichols says:
Stone: There were some minor malfunctions during a situation with the IKS Bloodlust but we were able to repair them before the ship or 2 shuttles took major damage.
CMO_Lea says:
@::Jokingly gives Braxton a hush-hush look, then inclines her head toward De'Shay:: MO: Don't say such things infront of the new officer... ::Smiles amusedly::
FCO_Nichols says:
::leans back a takes a deep breath::
OPS_DeShay says:
@:: Raises an eyebrow at the MO's comment::
CTO_KBeth says:
::thinks to self:: Barely...
LTJG_Stone says:
FCO: 1 more question... Who were the men who did the repair work during the Refit
MO_Braxton says:
@ ::murmurs:: CMO: Like you didn't hire him to help you... ::grins::
CTO_KBeth says:
~~FCO~~:Looking good Sarah
EO_Merna says:
::Sighs and mumbles under his breath.::
OPS_DeShay says:
@::Smiles and crackes his knuckles::
FCO_Nichols says:
Stone: According to the ship's recordings, Laurel and Hardy were on the ship conducting the work.  However, there was to be no refit.  I had left orders with our CEO that everything was fine.
CSO_Tarrez says:
::looks back at Sarah and listens intently::
FCO_Nichols says:
~~CTO~~: Thanks.
CMO_Lea says:
@::Smiles and shakes her head, then steps out of the halted turbolift into the airlock area::
MO_Braxton says:
@::glances at OPS and back to Lea, raising an eyebrow as if she had proved her point::
OPS_DeShay says:
@::Nods to the CMO:: CMO: Now boss?::Tries to keep a straight face,but doesn't::
LTJG_Stone says:
FCO: Thank you....ADM: I would like to enter into evidence the secxurity recordings showing the Defendants Laural and Hardy working in the shuttle bay on the equipment and the documented damages caused by their work
EO_Merna says:
::Starts saying a prayer in his mind for "The Ten" and their familys.::
CMO_Lea says:
@::Gives them both scathing glances for a minute, then trudging toward the airlock, muttering:: MO/OPS: Ridiculous...conspiring...
Host CO_Myrya says:
<Janice> ::gulps as the woman nears and bends over taking hold of the oen suitcase that has all of Pickatuny's things in it:: <Woman> Janice: Follow me
LTJG_Stone says:
ADM: I have no more questions for this witness
ADM_Savek says:
Stone: You may enter the recording.
ADM_Savek says:
FCO: You may take a seat.
CTO_KBeth says:
::starts to shift uneasily in her seat as her leg starts to fall asleep again::
Lt_Pickatuny says:
::Wonders if it to late to plead tempary insantiy::
FCO_Nichols says:
ADM: Aye sir.
Batlock says:
::wonders if anyones gonna say he can ask now::
FCO_Nichols says:
::glances at Batlock and rises to leave the stand::
Host CO_Myrya says:
<Janice> ::follows woman through the station, almost running to keep up with her::
OPS_DeShay says:
@::heads to the airlock with an innocent look on his face::
Batlock says:
::sigh:: FCO: Hold on a moment, please
FCO_Nichols says:
::sits back down::
CMO_Lea says:
@::Steps up to, and through the airlock, then gives the other two wideberth::
Host CO_Myrya says:
::sighs and tries to not look at the time::
Batlock says:
FCO: Don't worry, I only have one question... maybe two for you... please answer as honestly as possible
Lt_Pickatuny says:
::wonders if he can bribe the judges..that cute female might not even want money...look at her::
FCO_Nichols says:
Batlock: I'm Betazoid sir, I find it difficult to lie.
MO_Braxton says:
@::unwillingly slows and steps through the airlock carefully::
Batlock says:
FCO: That's good to hear ::smiles reassuringly::
EO_Merna says:
::Is becoming more and more irritated, fustrated.::
Host CO_Myrya says:
::choks on her water.. she remembers a Betazoid Male she dated.. he had no trouble lying:
ADM_Savek says:
::raises an eyebrow again, this time at Batlock... FCO Nichols had seemed rather forthcoming in her previous answers::
OPS_DeShay says:
@::goes through the airlock onto the station::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::sighs and wonders how many more witnesses there are to call::
Batlock says:
FCO: Quite simply this: if you and someone else... any given person were to be given orders to repair a ship from a seemingly competent superior, would you follow those orders?
FCO_Nichols says:
::glances up at Merna::
XO_Hawkes says:
::Notes CO Mrya seems a little discomfitted. Watches for a moment to see if medic need summoning::
Batlock says:
FCO: Considering that you knew nothing specifically about this given ship?
CMO_Lea says:
MO: Besides, if I were to throw you out an airlock, it wouldn't be one attached to a station.  ::Smiles slightly::
Host CO_Myrya says:
<Men W/O Hoods> ::monitors Sena'a wiht the woman Janice and sends her a messsage, fed straight into her head via a link::
EO_Merna says:
::Starts to shift in his seat, sighs and tries to calm down.::
CMO_Lea says:
MO/OPS: What would you think of browsing some shops, or just heading straight to the tropical place? The crew is quite likely to head straight that way once the hearing's over.
FCO_Nichols says:
Batlock: Yes sir, I would definitely follow orders.  However, I would use my own common sense to be able to tell whether or not I had cut off the power supply to a workbee or improperly rerouted the command structure for the pilot's console on the bridge of the said ship.  A simple 5 minute diagnostic would have shown me any errors.
OPS_DeShay says:
CMO: The tropical place sounds good.::Looks at the MO:: MO: How about it?
CSO_Tarrez says:
::thinks "go gettem girl"::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::smiles with pride at her fellow DGB member::
MO_Braxton says:
CMO/OPS: I'm game for just about anything
Host CO_Myrya says:
::inturrupts as her right:: FCO: Did you.. did you on returning to the Delph, run any diagnostics?
EO_Merna says:
::Sighs with fustration and wants to leave.  Quickly sits up in his chair and continues watching.  Wondering if he should ask permission to leave.::
Batlock says:
::about to say something, but waits::
CMO_Lea says:
::Tilts her head slightly and heads out to the promenade::
ADM_Savek says:
::looks over at Myrya, interested in her insights::
OPS_DeShay says:
::Follows the CMO::
Host CO_Myrya says:
<Janice> ::Being led down the emergency walkways through the staion to lower decks::
FCO_Nichols says:
CO_Myrya: Not at first returning, no sir.  However, after the first incident my team began a "fine tooth comb" testing of all equipment.  It took several weeks to repair all of the damage that had been done.
Host CO_Myrya says:
::Nods:: FCO: Thank you
Batlock: Pardon me.. continue ::taps note on padd::
XO_Hawkes says:
::Hears his commbadge go off. Looks sheepishly around the room.::
FCO_Nichols says:
::hears the commbadge and looks at Mervin::
Host CO_Myrya says:
::Looks at XO briefly::
Batlock says:
FCO: Exactly... everything looked all right at first so you and your hypothetical crewmate fixing the ship ran no diagnostics and finished your job... who's fault was it for accidently breaking something... yours or your superior officer's? Consider you had old and inaccurate specifications
CSO_Tarrez says:
::looks at tthe XO and then at Merna and then back to the XO::
XO_Hawkes says:
<Lt. Akers> *XO*: Mr. Hawkes. Sorry to bother you, but we have a little problem over here. We need to rearrange some berthing assingments. It can't wait.
FCO_Nichols says:
Batlock:  First of all, I was trained at the Academy that if I fix anything I'd better run a diagnostic to ensure it's completion before reporting it done.
XO_Hawkes says:
*Akers*: ::Sighs:: <w> Very well.
Host CO_Myrya says:
<Janice> ::Starts to get nervous as the woman pushes her in front of her and snips out ...:: Janice: Move
XO_Hawkes says:
::Shuffles to the front, and hands Stone his Padd::
ADM_Savek says:
::his turn to interrupt::  Batlock:  Mr. Batlock, may I ask where this is going?  I'm sure we are all amply familiar with Starfleet regulations pertaining to the chain of command.
Lt_Pickatuny says:
::watchs as time slips away with his life::
FCO_Nichols says:
Batlock: Second of all, Repairs issued to me are my responsibility, however my superior officer is responsible to make certain I have everything I need.
Batlock says:
FCO: Fine... let's go into more detail... the required cursory diagnostics were run according to the specifications that you and your crewmate had instead of the actual ship since the ship may be wrong
FCO_Nichols says:
Batlock: So I guess all three of us would be responsible sir.
XO_Hawkes says:
::Quietly exits the courtroom, making sure the door doesn't slam::
ADM_Savek says:
::winces very slightly as the door closes a bit loudly::
FCO_Nichols says:
::watches  Hawkes leave:: ~~CTO~~ He looked upset.
Batlock says:
FCO: I believe that using the specifications instead of the ship would be wiser, wouldn't it?
XO_Hawkes says:
*Akers* ::walking back to the ship:: Ok, this better be good!
Host CO_Myrya says:
ACTION: Janice was indeed right about her fear. The woman Sena'a sticks a hypo up to Janice's neck and injects her with a deadly substance. Janie is dead before she hits the floor
FCO_Nichols says:
Batlock: You would use the specifications to start but anyone with common sense would also use the ship's diagnostics.
Batlock says:
Savek: Sorry sir... this is going to allocate responsibility
MO_Braxton says:
CMO: So where are we heading ?
CTO_KBeth says:
~~FCO~~: Dunno...his comm badge went off.  But don't worry, if it was anything bad I would have been called too.
XO_Hawkes says:
<Akers> *XO*: It is. Mr. Shlepkin, and Mrs. Shlepkin are no longer Mr. and Mrs. They what new room assignments pronto.
Batlock says:
FCO: Forget common sense, please... you are on a station... part of a repair crew... common sense isn't very common there as it takes too much time
ADM_Savek says:
Batlock: continue, but remember that brevity is very much in favor.
XO_Hawkes says:
*Akers* ::Sighs:: Ok, I'll be there shortly.
Batlock says:
FCO: Try to walk in Laurel's skin for instance
CMO_Lea says:
MO: The tropical er other bar place...  ::Looks slightly bashful:: I haven't really paid attention to the name..
Lt_Pickatuny says:
::would be insult if he was smarter::
FCO_Nichols says:
Batlock: Excuse me sir?  My father was an Executive officer on a station.  Common sense was the very first thing he drilled into his workers.
LTJG_Stone says:
ADM: I object to his questioning we all know how detailed SF training is and according to the records the ship was functioning normally until the repair work
Batlock says:
::sigh:: FCO: Laurel doesn't work on your father's station
Host CO_Myrya says:
<Sena'a> Puches Janice's body into a unused hallway, taking her packed bags with her she heads to where the M/O hoods are::
LTJG_Stone says:
ADM: I object
LTJG_Stone says:
..
FCO_Nichols says:
Batlock: No, he doesn't.
LTJG_Stone says:
....
LTJG_Stone says:
......
ADM_Savek says:
Stone: I would tend to agree, Mr. Stone.
XO_Hawkes says:
::enters the Del via airlock, and heads to his office::
Batlock says:
::waits for the objection to be stated::
CSO_Tarrez says:
::sighs hard because it seems that they are running in circles::
Host CO_Myrya says:
::thinks the objection is not valid, but then that's why teh Admiral gets the big bars::
XO_Hawkes says:
@*Akers*: Have the concerned parties meet me in my office right now.
XO_Hawkes says:
@::Takes a seat behind the desk in his office, and turn on the broadcast of the trial while he waits::
EO_Merna says:
::Leans his arm against the arm rest, and lays his head in his hand in total fustration and closes his eyes.::
ADM_Savek says:
Batlock: The question you have not addressed, is why the engineers in question did not obtain departmental permission before working on something over which their supervisor did not have control.
Batlock says:
Savek: Ah... unfortunately sir, they were not aware of their supervisor's situation as they were misinformed by him
FCO_Nichols says:
~~CTO~~ This guy is wanting compassion for those idiots?
CSO_Tarrez says:
::glance over at Merna and softens a little...what ever this was like for her it must be 10 times worse for him::
XO_Hawkes says:
@::Sits up as he hears a chime at his door:: Come!
CTO_KBeth says:
~~FCO~~:This guy is an idiot!...
Lt_Pickatuny says:
::wonders what his lawyer is doing::
XO_Hawkes says:
@<Akers>:: escorts the Shlepkins in::
EO_Merna says:
::Sighs and mumbles loudly, enough for everyone to hear.:: ALL: Proper protocols!  ::Sits up straight and looks at the board, not moving a muscle.::
Lt_Pickatuny says:
Admiral: Your honor I object. My lawyer is attempt to get me convicted
Host CO_Myrya says:
::looks over at Merna::
Batlock says:
Admiral: No I'm not
ADM_Savek says:
Batlock: You ask the officers present at this hearing to believe that two starfleet-trained engineers were so easily duped?
CTO_KBeth says:
::takes another big swig of the now-getting-cold coffee to try and stay awake as Batlock's questions go on and on and on...::
Batlock says:
Savek: Would you like me to drag this out even more and show you how, sir?
Batlock says:
Savek: We've already wasted way more time than I planned with evasiveness and interruptions
CSO_Tarrez says:
::looks at the ADM as if to beg for mercy::
ADM_Savek says:
Batlock: I am attempting to get to the core of the issue.  I suggest you do the same, and ask direct questions from this point forward.
XO_Hawkes says:
@::Looks at the Shlepkins, and motions for them to sit. They sit, far apart, and not facing each other::
EO_Merna says:
::Starts to growl softly with each breath, being almost unable to hold his growing anger and fustration.::
Lt_Pickatuny says:
::notices his objection was ingored::
CMO_Lea says:
::Turns another corner and heads to the doors of the Tropical-er-other-place:: OPS/MO: Here was are.  ::Seems rather relieved. Was afraid she'd gotten them lost::
FCO_Nichols says:
~~CTO~~: Evasiveness?  He'd better not be talking about me.  I was thorough in answering.  I just didn't give him the answer HE wanted.
CSO_Tarrez says:
::looks back at Merna and senses his growing emotions...debates rather to reach out to him::
XO_Hawkes says:
@::pulls up the master billeting plan, and begins looking for possible accomadations. Ocaissionally glances at the monitor::
Batlock says:
Savek: I wish I could sir, but the only way I can seem to make my point is with indirectness and if I don't do my best, then I'm not doing my appointed duty, sir
CTO_KBeth says:
~~FCO~~:Don't worry about him.  I told you...he's an idiot! ::grins::
FCO_Nichols says:
::looks at CO Lynam with a look saying "evasiveness? me?"::
Batlock says:
Savek: I'm trying to reveal truth and all I seem to get are brick walls, if you'd like to trade places with me, you're welcome to it
Host CO_Lynam says:
::Rolls his eyes at Nichols, then grins a little::
Lt_Pickatuny says:
::wonders if this will result in a mistrail since it clear his lawyer is not attempting to clear him and instead is attempting to burry him::
FCO_Nichols says:
::looks at the ADM::
Host CO_Myrya says:
<Sena'a> ::Enters teh ship with the Men in Hoods taking care to "dispose" of the suitcases and all traces of them and their contents::
ADM_Savek says:
Batlock: If you have questions make them brief and to the point, or I will dismiss this witness and allow Mr. Stone to proceed, as he seems to desire.
EO_Merna says:
::Looks to CO Lynam and then to the board, letting them know he needs to leave.::
Batlock says:
FCO: Can you pretend you are a completely impartial person for a moment, please?
OPS_DeShay says:
::Looks aroung the place:: CMO/MO: lets find a table.
Host CO_Myrya says:
::looks at Batlock and is surprised by his tone::
Batlock says:
FCO: Who gave Laurel and Hardy orders to repair the Delphyne?
FCO_Nichols says:
Batlock: Mr. Batlock, with all do respect, I believe I am being impartial.  I am also being honest.  I'm just not giving you the "I'm sorry please forgive them for being blonde" defense.
Lt_Pickatuny says:
Admiral: I object. My Lawyer is not defending me
FCO_Nichols says:
Batlock: I do not know sir.  I was not in the room when they were ordered.
Batlock says:
::rolls his eyes:: FCO: I don't care if you act blonde or not, answer the question so we can get done
Host CO_Myrya says:
:Batlock: That wil be enough
CSO_Tarrez says:
::reaches hesitently for Merna's hand....wishing to comfort him::
FCO_Nichols says:
Batlock: I am competent sir.
XO_Hawkes says:
@Shlepkins: I don't want to hear it. I'm not a counselor. Whatever your reasons may be...:Scowls at them:: we're big boys and girls, and I think we can make our own decisions. Therefore, Mr. Shlepkin, I am giving you a berth on Deck 22. Mrs. Shlepkin, you get a berth on Deck 23. That is all. Dismissed.
Batlock says:
Myrya: Yes ma'am?
FCO_Nichols says:
Batlock: And honest.
Batlock says:
FCO: I never said otherwise
Host CO_Myrya says:
Batlcok: We do not insult the court by insulting the officers, get to the point
LTJG_Stone says:
ADM: I object the attornys actions are such as that he is delibritly attemting to get a mistrial
XO_Hawkes says:
@<Shlepkins> ::looks at the XO and their jaws drop.:: XO: But...but.
EO_Merna says:
::Leans to CSO and whispers.:: CSO: I need to leave... ::As tears form in his eyes, gently takes her hand and squeezes it.:: Could you get a message to the Board or Captain?
Batlock says:
CO: Give me five uninterrupted minutes
ADM_Savek says:
::glad that Myrya has taken over for the moment::
XO_Hawkes says:
@Shlepkins: ::raises a hand:: Dismissed.
FCO_Nichols says:
::feels her jaw tense as Batlock's imcompetence becomes even more apparent::
CSO_Tarrez says:
