Host Admiral_Savek says:  @::enters and takes the center seat ::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Follows the Captain, into the turbolift:: OPS: Lieutenant Zax, you have the Bridge.

Host Admiral_Poli says:  @ ::Sits along with the other admirals::

EO_Harhn says:  CEO: As soon as I finish here Commander. I am not even going to stop in my quarters. I am interested to see what they have done to the engine room.

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Nods confidently to Katia, as the doors slide closed::

TO_Hull says:  CO:  Sir, if I may speak?...........I believe I speak for the entire Crew, we are with you Sir!  Remember that

Host Admiral_Pitzul says:  @:: sits down ::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::as the Lift whirls into operation::  XO:  Who do you have set up for our witnesses?

Adm-Alexander says:  @::wonders what is taking them so long::

CMO_Varr says:  ::nods at the MO:: MO_Lauren:  Thank you.  Can you make sure these samples and associated data are transferred to a station lab?

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Closes his eyes, as the TL approaches the Central Gangway, and the Captain's destiny awaiting beyond there:: CO: Quite simply, sir, we have none.

Host Admiral_Savek says:  @Admirals : I take it you have read a brief that was sent out ?

Host Admiral_Pitzul says:  @Admirals: We are scheduled to start soon.

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  @::thinks the formal charging language hasn’t changed since the English common law::

CEO_Jamin says:  EO: Let me know what you find, if you beat me there.

CTO_Castillo says:  ::waiting with the crew to be released for some much needed R & R::

Host Admiral_Pitzul says:  @:: nods to Savek ::

XO_Wilkens says:  CO: We can call the Nostromo crew to the stand, to testify, but at this point, I'd advise against it.

Host Admiral_Poli says:  @ Savek: That I did. 

FCO_Tim says:  ::still sit at the Conn. of the VF::

EO_Harhn says:  CEO: Aye sir ::Chuckles to himself::

CSO_Larek says:  ::sits at his station...awaiting orders::

CEO_Jamin says:  ::comms the bridge:: BRIDGE: Bridge? Who's on deck?

Host Admiral_Savek says:  @Admirals: I am sure it what we all need a break that adds to our paperwork

OPS_Zax says:  ALL: Okay. Finish the docking procedures. Get the ship back in shape, and then we'll start the shore leave rotation, gentlemen.

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::steps from TL::  XO: Yes, it may be best to avoid them.  ::stops as he thinks::  What about the child?  The alien child Xelectrina?

CMO_Varr says:  <MO_Lauren> ::nodding:: CMO: I will sir.  You had better go get Mickey.

OPS_Zax says:  *CEO*: Lt.Zax here.

FCO_Tim says:  OPS: Acknowledged Lieutenant.

CSO_Larek says:  ::nods::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Steps from the TL, with the Captain in silent tow. Pauses before the entrance to Starbase 78, as small amounts of crew stream past them::

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  @::will need to prove the typical nexus of guilty mind and guilty action::

EO_Harhn says:  ::Asks a passing crewman to shut down the EPS Relays to flight and navigation arrays::

CSO_Larek says:  ::begins to lock down SCI station::

CMO_Varr says:  ::eyebrow raised:: MO_Lauren: Mickey?

CEO_Jamin says:  *OPS*: Lieutenant...are you issuing shore leave today?

XO_Wilkens says:  CO: I would recommend cross-examination, as well, should the need arise.

FCO_Tim says:  ::finished docking:: OPS: Well I'm done with the old girl. Orders Lt.?

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  Computer: Computer, please locate alien lifeform known as Xelectrina.

Xelectrina says:  ::peeks head out the door to see a different man standing guard, pops back in::

OPS_Zax says:  *CEO*: Yes. As soon as lock down is completed.

EO_Harhn says:  ::Moves to Warp Core Control Console and begins shutting down the drive system::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Toggles a button on the small door panel, and the entry-way slides open to reveal the Starbase::

OPS_Zax says:  ::motions for the FCO to wait::

Host Admiral_Savek says:  ::opens a case and extracts a PADD and starts reading through it ::

CEO_Jamin says:  *OPS*: OK. Let me know when I can go check on the Pendragon.

Host Karriaunna says:  <COMPUTER> Xelectrina is located in the captains quarters.

FCO_Tim says:  ::notices the OPS gesture:: OPS: OK.

LtCmdr_Charn says:  @::paces uncomfortably... the docking ring looks so deserted...::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::in TL on way to bridge::

CMO_Varr says:  <MO_Lauren> ::smiling more broadly::  CMO: Never mind.  Just remember your pet rodent.

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::rushes back into the TL after hearing the Computer::  TL: Deck two.

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  @::pages through the rules of Evidence::

XO_Wilkens says:  @::Notes the presence of several SF Officers, and steps onto the Starbase::

OPS_Zax says:  *CEO*: You're first on the list, LtCmdr.

CTO_Castillo says:  ::hoping that he didn't leave anything personal behind on the VF, walks onto the SB::

Host Admiral_Savek says:  @::Hits a transmit button ::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::enters bridge::

TO_Hull says:  OPS:  Sir, permission to secure

CEO_Jamin says:  *OPS*: Thanks, lieutenant.

XO_Wilkens says:  @::Sighs as he realizes the Captain has re-entered the TL, and then glances at his PADD::

CSO_Larek says:  OPS: Science station is locked down Lieutenant.

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: Hello lieutenant.

MO_Daetalus says:  :: exits quarters and goes to the nearest TL::

OPS_Zax says:  ::nods:: TO: Permission granted.

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  Hello

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::arrives on Deck two and approaches guard::  Guard:  Let the child out, she's coming with me.

TO_Hull says:  ::Nods and exits the bridge::

OPS_Zax says:  CSO: Good job, Larek. Thanks.

CNS_Luchena says:  OPS:  Do you need me here, Sir?

Adm-Alexander says:  XO: T.J., is that you?

Host Admiral_Pitzul says:  @Admirals: Can I offer you some tea?

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  @::notices Adm Savek and Alexander on the docket and has practiced before them a few times:::

Xelectrina says:  ::looks up as the door opens::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: When we get to the SB there actually is something I'd like to talk to you about, if you do not mind?

CTO_Castillo says:  @::tipping his shades, he notices all the top brass. Releases a low whistle with the thought, they are going to hang the CO at this hearing.::

OPS_Zax says:  ALL: You may leave the ship. Enjoy your shore leave. ::smiles::

CEO_Jamin says:  ::rubs his eyes again and sets down his PADD, unable to focus on the Valley Forge::

XO_Wilkens says:  @::Squints his eyes, trying to place the figure standing several feet away::

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  Certainly.

Host Admiral_Savek says:  @Adm_Pitzul: No, thank you

CNS_Luchena says:  OPS:  Thank you, Sir

CMO_Varr says:  ::gets up and heads toward his quarters::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: Thanks a million.

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  Xelectrina:   Come on little one, we're going for a little walk.  ::takes her hand::

MO_Daetalus says:  :: exits quarters and enters the TL:: TL: deck 6:

LtCmdr_Charn says:  @::watches the admiral closely... and the Pendragon's XO. Tries her best not to be seen too much... then sees the face she was looking for and goes after the man::

XO_Wilkens says:  @ADM: Admiral Alexander?

Host Admiral_Poli says:  @ Pitzul: No thank you. ::Looks over data being sent from 595 regarding the Elara, sighs, shuts down that PADD, and goes back to the other PADD regarding Phail, and reads up on his history::

Adm-Alexander says:  @TJ: You are looking well ::reaches out to hug him::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::pets Pookie on way to TL::

Xelectrina says:  CO:  I can leave now?  Where are we going?  Can I fly some more?

OPS_Zax says:  *CMO*: You are cleared for shore leave at your discretion.

Adm-Alexander says:  @XO: Yes, didn't Phail tell you I would be here?

XO_Wilkens says:  @::Receives her hug and glances at her:: ADM: Certainly, ma'am, thank you. I merely wish the reunion was of better cause.

Host Admiral_Savek says:  @:::Finishes reading another doc and looks at Poli :: ADM_Poli: This might concern you more

Host Admiral_Pitzul says:  @:: sips his tea ::

CMO_Varr says:  *OPS* Thank you sir.

CSO_Larek says:  ::stands::

OPS_Zax says:  *CEO*: You and your staff are cleared for shoreleave, Lt.

XO_Wilkens says:  @::Embraces her, and then steps away::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: Hold on a sec Lt. I need to finish first. I thought we'd go to the SB togather?

TO_Hull says:  ::Exits TL on deck 3 to his quarters, enters and clears his belongings from the drawers and personal items and looks around one last time, then out into the corridor::

Adm-Alexander says:  @XO: Yes, it seems I have been attending too many of these kinds of meetings ::said sadly::

CMO_Varr says:  ::continues to his quarters::

CEO_Jamin says:  *OPS*: Great! Thanks! ::jumps up and almost runs for the door::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::enters TL and orders it to the Gangway Plank::  Xelectrina:  You have got to tell some people about what you did to my ship.  Tell them the truth on what happened.

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  ::reviewing states of mind and affirmative defenses::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  @::starts walking beside the man and calls for him:: CTO: Lt. Castillo, I assume?

Xelectrina says:  CO:  What did I do?

CSO_Larek says:  ::stands beside Zax::

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  Sure.  ::stops to wait for Tim:

XO_Wilkens says:  @ADM: ::Slowly:: You'll be the source of our key testimony.

Xelectrina says:  ::skips beside the captain::

FCO_Tim says:  OPS: Sorry ma'am but are we at last done here?

CEO_Jamin says:  ::heads for the TL::

Adm-Alexander says:  @XO: TJ, anything I can do, you know I will.

OPS_Zax says:  FCO: Take your time, Lt.

Host Admiral_Poli says:  @ Savek: What may concern me?

XO_Wilkens says:  @ADM: We need the Governing Board, and the Admirals, to see that Captain Vn'dor is of sound mind and mental judgment.

CTO_Castillo says:  @::stops briefly, raises an eyebrow to Lt. Cmdr.:: Charn: yes ? how may I help you?

CNS_Luchena says:  ::scratches Pookie under his chin::

FCO_Tim says:  OPS: My time on what, we're all ready docked ma'am.

Host Admiral_Savek says:  @Poli: Admiral, this report, we can discuss it afterwards

XO_Wilkens says:  @ADM: Furthermore, we need to establish the Captain's command abilities.

Adm-Alexander says:  @XO: Well, unless he has been possessed, I can't see them finding any other way.

Lt_McCornick says:  @::Swallows and closes his eyes, repeating his testimony to himself one more time::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::TL Stops outside GP::  Xelectrina:  About how you took it for a joyride and then wanted the other ship that crashed into the planet.  That was all wrong... I'm going to get into a lot of trouble because of it.  ::steps through into SB78::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::getting impatient::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: Thanks Lt. Sorry to keep you waiting but it's urgent.

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Nods, smiling weakly::

Host Admiral_Poli says:  Savek: Understood. ::Wonders what he refers to now::

CEO_Jamin says:  ::scratches under his chin, while his trotting causes his arms to bounce uncomfortably::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  CTO: LtCmdr Charn, Mr. Castillo. I am afraid your LOA has been cut short.

Adm-Alexander says:  XO: TJ, as far as I am concerned this whole hearing is a farce, from what I have read.

OPS_Zax says:  Computer: Transfer command codes to Admiral Harlan. Authorization Zax 44327.

FCO_Tim says:  OPS: We're dock and my station is at lock dock. What else is there?

XO_Wilkens says:  ADM: I whole-heartedly agree!

CSO_Larek says:  ::looks around the bridge::

Xelectrina says:  ::looks up, lip trembling::  CO:  but I did not crash that ship... it did all by itself.

CTO_Castillo says:  ::dropping his jaw:: Charn: please with all due respect tell me you are kidding?

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::looks around for the top brass to place him under house arrest::

Adm-Alexander says:  XO: Where is he TJ?

CEO_Jamin says:  ::stands in front of the lift, waiting for it to free up::

XO_Wilkens says:  ADM: Unfortunately, the ruling board may not see it that way...

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: I'll be with you in a second.

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Sighs:: ADM: I only wish I knew, ma'am!

EO_Harhn says:  ::Secures work stations and watches the last of the engineering staff leave. Then upon leaving, secures ME::

OPS_Zax says:  FCO: Nothing. Go and have fun, Tim. ::smiles::

CNS_Luchena says:  <Pookie>::purrs::

Host Karriaunna says:  <COMPUTER>  acknowledged

LtCmdr_Charn says:  ::raises an eyebrow almost imperceptibly:: CTO: I am certainly not.

FCO_Tim says:  OPS: Thanks you ma'am. I hope to.

Host Karriaunna says:  ACTION:  The captain is surrounded by security and escorted to the court room

CEO_Jamin says:  ::has the strange urge to growl softly, but dismisses it as the lift doors open::

EO_Harhn says:  *Bridge* Harhn to Bridge. ME is secure.

CTO_Castillo says:  Charn: OK sir. Fill me in what is going on?

LtCmdr_Charn says:  CTO: I need to talk to you, and if possible to a reduced numbers of officers from your crew you can trust implicitly.

OPS_Zax says:  ::looks at the CSO: You are clear to leave, Lt.

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Notes that his Chief Tactical Officer and another woman are speaking in low voices, and wonders briefly as to their conversation::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  Xelectrina:  Yes, I made it crash because I believed it was the only way to keep Federation property from falling into an unknown alien's hands... namely you.  I didn't know you then.  ::smiles reassuringly::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::heads to TL, pausing briefly to see if FCO is coming::

Adm-Alexander says:  XO: I think we better get to the courtroom TJ.

Xelectrina says:  ::looks down at her toes::

Host Admiral_Pitzul says:  Admirals: We are to begin soon.

CSO_Larek says:  OPS: Thank you ma`am ::heads for the TL::

OPS_Zax says:  *EO*: Acknowledged. Enjoy your shore leave.

CNS_Luchena says:  ::enters TL::

CMO_Varr says:  ::steps into his quarters and looks around the room, noting that Lauren was her usual efficient self, leaving nothing but the mini-environment on the table::

XO_Wilkens says:  ADM: Agreed.

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::following security::

Lt_McCornick says:  ::Checks the time, stands, and exits the cafe, headed towards the courtroom::

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  ::sits at table::

CEO_Jamin says:  ::taps foot impatiently as the lift makes stop after stop::

CTO_Castillo says:  Charn: I'm sorry ma’am please fill me in. ::taking off his shades and meeting the Cmdr's gaze::

CSO_Larek says:  ::exits the ship onto the Starbase::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  CTO: I am afraid that this is... a very sensitive matter ::stresses the word "sensitive" while looking into his eyes::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Several minutes later, after following the Admiral in silence to the courtroom, he enters::

Adm-Alexander says:  ::walking with TJ to the courtroom, both very quiet::

Xelectrina says:  ::follows quietly::

EO_Harhn says:  ::After grabbing his gear from his temp quarters on VF, Harhn heads to the Pen::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Watches the Captain enter just behind them, and motions him over::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::moves into court room and his herded to his seat by security::

CEO_Jamin says:  ::entertains thoughts of overriding the normal lift protocols::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Drums his fingers on the long wood table before them, and extracts a stack of PADDs from a small attaché case::

OPS_Zax says:  ::exits the TL::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::feeling frustrated.  Sees CEO::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::hears the familiar voice and smiles awkwardly::  Alexander:  I hope so ma'am.

CTO_Castillo says:  ::wishing that Hull or Wilkens were with him at this moment::

Adm-Alexander says:  ::reaches over and pats his arm:: CO: It will.

LtCmdr_Charn says:  CTO: I'll see you at the Starbase's XO's office. And if they are not involved with your Captain's hearing, I believe the other Chiefs will do... they're clear as far as I can tell.

CSO_Larek says:  %::enters the Pendragon, watching the engineering crews::

CEO_Jamin says:  ::upon seeing her face remembers everything, and turns pale as a marshmallow:: CNS: Counselor... ::quickly walks by, with tunnel-vision setting in::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Motions for the ADM and CO to rise as well::

CTO_Castillo says:  Charn: geez, am I going to war here all by myself?

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::leans over to T.J.::  XO: Commander, do you know the people presiding over this hearing?  What can we expect of them?

OPS_Zax says:  ::sees the CNS::

CEO_Jamin says:  ::clears the docking area, with a sense of relief, and walks briskly toward the Pendragon::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::tries to calm herself::

Lt_McCornick says:  ::Rises as the Admirals enter::

XO_Wilkens says:  CO: I know very little, sir, unfortunately. This hearing was thrown together at the last minute, as we were departing from our previous assignment.

Host Admiral_Poli says:  ::Enters behind the other two, sitting on the far left with his PADDs::

OPS_Zax says:  CNS: Is everything okay Luna?

MO_Daetalus says:  :: takes a seat in the back of the courtroom::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::wonders where the CEO got that image of her coming out of the shower::

CNS_Luchena says:  OPS:  Yes, thank you.  Pookie is being a bit stubborn.

CEO_Jamin says:  ::skirts the docking ring, as the color returns to his face, and his mind slowly returns to the Pendragon::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Echos the Captain's movements::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::smiles at Zax gratefully:  OPS:  You're probably right.

LtCmdr_Charn says:  CTO: 10 minutes, Lt. ::turns on her heels and leaves Castillo to brood... wonders if Red was sure he was the one who had to be contacted, he seems as green as herself::

CTO_Castillo says:  ::quickly rushes to a rented quarters throws his bags off:: 

TO_Hull says:  ::Hull runs through the empty corridors of the SB heading for the Courtroom::

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  ::waits for the Admirals to begin::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  ::takes the scenic route... passing through the conference room, and glancing in through the crystal windows::

Host Admiral_Savek says:  CO: Captain Vn’dor, Have you heard the charges ?

CEO_Jamin says:  ::finally arrives at the docking station for the Pendragon, and begins haggling with security for clearance::

CTO_Castillo says:  ::begins to wonder which officers would best serve him if this is indeed a mission. then begins to call them telepathically::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Places his hands before his face, holding them in a careful tent-like formation::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::crouches beside Pookie to have words with him::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::stands up straight::  Adm Savek:  I have.

LtCmdr_Charn says:  ::they seem about to start... looking at Phail's head she wishes him good luck, and then leaves for the office::

CMO_Varr says:  ::makes it through the docking area in what must be record time, and heads toward the habitat levels::

Host Admiral_Savek says:  All: For the record - Failure to sufficiently perform duties and expectations, that of a Commanding Officer.
- The damage of and loss of Starfleet property, namely the U.S.S. Nostromo.
- Misrepresentation of the United Federation of Planets' best interests.

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Confidently watches the Captain, sketching brief notations on his PADD::

CTO_Castillo says:  TO/EO/XO:~~~~sorry to intrude gentlemen, but I need your assistance.~~~~

OPS_Zax says:  CNS: I'll see you later. I'm heading to the Pen to check on the repairs.

Host Admiral_Savek says:  All: ::Continues:: - Violation of Starfleet Code of Conduct, Article II.
- Violation of Starfleet Directives, 2nd General Order.
- Violation of Starfleet Directives, 3rd General Order.
- Attempted violation of 23rd General Order.

Xelectrina says:  ::Is becoming bored... again.  Sighs and sits back, legs swinging::

CNS_Luchena says:  OPS:  See you later.

CEO_Jamin says:  ::frowns at the still-present scorch marks on many of the walls, heading for a lift::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Jumps awkwardly in his seat as he feels the CTO's presence in his mind::

Host Admiral_Savek says:  CO: How do you plead ?

CNS_Luchena says:  ::whispers to Pookie::

EO_Harhn says:  ::Wonders what he just heard::

TO_Hull says:  ::Arrives at the lobby of the Courtroom...'hears the CTO speaking to him'::

OPS_Zax says:  ::heads towards the docking bay::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::leans over to XO and whispers::  XO: Any last minute thoughts on the plead?

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Carefully:: ~~~~CTO: What is it, Eric?~~~~

Host Admiral_Pitzul says:  :: looks at the CO ::

TO_Hull says:  *Computer*: Location of Lt. jg Castillo?

CNS_Luchena says:  <Pookie>::stands up nonchalantly::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: Stubborn isn't that Pookie of your?

CTO_Castillo says:  TO/EO/MO/XO:~~~~can't explain much but must if you can meet me at the SB's XO's quarters it's important~~~~

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  What

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  ::waits::

CEO_Jamin says:  %::enters the lift, surprised that it seems to be working properly::

XO_Wilkens says:  CO: Your decision, sir, with all due respect, this is your hearing. Plead as you wish. Truthfully and honestly.

EO_Harhn says:  ::Hears a voice in his head again::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  Adm_Savek: I plead...  not guilty.

TO_Hull says:  <Computer>  Lt. jg Castillo is located in XO Wilkens SB quarters

MO_Daetalus says:  ::tries to shrug off the voice::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: Oh nothing but I really got to talk to you, but only if you do not mind.

Host Admiral_Pitzul says:  ALL: Will the prosecution make its opening  statement.

CTO_Castillo says:  ~~~~XO: sir I know you got litigations, I suppose I'll fill you in later unless you can get free from it at all?~~~~

Host Admiral_Savek says:  ::Nods:: CO: Are you represented ?

CTO_Castillo says:  ::in a hurry makes his way to the XO's quarters at the SB::

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  Certainly, Tim.  Here or someplace more comfortable?

LtCmdr_Charn says:  ::walks to the XO's office, the sec guards faithfully flanking the doors... she enters and then takes a seat::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: Some place more comfortable please.

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::motions to the XO::  Adm Savek: I am.  LtCmdr Wilkens will be representing me during this hearing.

XO_Wilkens says:  ~~~~CTO: Inform me telepathically, if you can. Keep me appraised!~~~~

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  Lead the way.

Host Admiral_Savek says:  XO: Are you ready ?

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  Adm: Jag_Eagle for the prosecution

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: How about going to my SB quarters?

OPS_Zax says:  ::arrives at the Pendragon::

Clerk says:  ::takes notes and opens a second voice recording PADD::

CMO_Varr says:  ::is enjoying the freedom of time, having nothing to do for the moment::

CTO_Castillo says:  ~~~~XO: I will try sir. I promise.~~~~

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Nods to the Admirals, inclining his head in acknowledgment:: ADM: I am, indeed, Admiral.

Host Admiral_Savek says:  ::looks to Eagle :: Prosecution ready ?

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::sits down waiting for this to be over with::

XO_Wilkens says:  ~~~~CTO: Very well.~~~~

Lt_McCornick says:  ::Quietly watches the proceedings from the back of the room, rocking back and forth nervously::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Eases himself into his seat, diverting his whole attention to the case at hand::

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  Adm: yes your honor

Xelectrina says:  ::starts to get up::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::FCO:  Okay.  ::feels a bit apprehensive::

CEO_Jamin says:  %::exits the lift, and after a quick turn, enters ME::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  ::lightly touches her terminal, ready to bring several reports as soon as Castillo and the others appear... checking the time, they still have 5 minutes::

OPS_Zax says:  %::enters the ship and begins to look around::

CTO_Castillo says:  ~~~~CMO/EO: gentlemen it is me Castillo, if you can please meet me at the XO's quarters ASAP please~~~~

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: Well if you fell uncomfortable, we can talk in the bar?

Host Admiral_Pitzul says:  :: gives his undivided attention to the JAG officer ::

MO_Daetalus says:  :: exits slowly and proceeds to the XO's office::

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  Sure, let's go.

TO_Hull says:  ::heads for SB XO’sQuarters::

CTO_Castillo says:  ::standing outside waiting for those he called telepathically::

Host Admiral_Savek says:  Eagle: You have an opening statement ?

CSO_Larek says:  ::goes to his assigned quarters on SB, setting his things down::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  ::enters the new codes she's been given and wonders how much time she has before her presence in the Starbase becomes public::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::leaves Valley Forge.  Heads to bar.  Pookie follows::

CEO_Jamin says:  %::shakes his head when he sees a cold, inactive warp core::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: Great! ::walks in TL:: CNS: The SB bar right?

Clerk says:  ::coughs lightly::

CNS_Luchena says:  <Pookie>   ::growls softly at FCO::

EO_Harhn says:  ::Hears that voice again but is able to understand and makes his way to the XO quarters on the SB::

CMO_Varr says:  ::feels a tingling at the edge of his senses that holds for a second then fades.  He shrugs and pours another cup of tea::

Host Admiral_Poli says:  ::Watches as they begin::

FCO_Tim says:  ::steps back a bit:: Pookie: Nice Pookie, nice.

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  SB bar, of course.  I'll race you there.

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  Adm: If it pleases the court the State will show that the defendant did willfully destroy a Federation Starship and attempt the murder of a member of a new alien species in violation of Federation law and ethics

CNS_Luchena says:  ::takes off at a run with Pookie in tow::

CTO_Castillo says:  ::looking at the chronometer, wondering what is taking them so long?::

CSO_Larek says:  ::puts his Vulcan ceremonial robe on, kneels down in front of a lit candle , meditating::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::pours water into a small glass from the glass pitcher on the table::

CEO_Jamin says:  ::goes to the nearest active panel and checks the systems status reports::

OPS_Zax says:  %::enters main engineering::

Host Admiral_Savek says:  ::Listens:::

TO_Hull says:  ::Arrives at the corridor leading to the SB XO's quarters and observes Lt. jg Castillo:: CTO:  Well glad to see you are up and walking around Sir!  I wasn’t aware you were a telepath, that experience was quite illuminating

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: OK, on your mark, get set....::he takes off ahead of the CNS::

MO_Daetalus says:  :: arrives at the XO's office::

EO_Harhn says:  ::Arrives at XO's quarters:: CTO: Did you contact me and ask me to meet you here?

CNS_Luchena says:  ::remembers strange thought from CEO, and how there was no emotion with it.  Thinks its strange::

MO_Daetalus says:  CTO: what do u need??

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::shakes his head at the JAG Officer who clearly has never been to space::

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  Adm: This act violated the respect for Alien life under General Order 2 and is directly in contrast to the Starfleet charter to seek out new life

CTO_Castillo says:  TO/MO/EO: you guys are about to find out that much more about me. please follow me. 

Xelectrina says:  ::starts to slowly leave the room::

Clerk says:  ::checks on the recording space left...and coughs again very very lightly::

FCO_Tim says:  ::stops:: CNS: Are you coming?

CNS_Luchena says:  ::sees SB lounge dead ahead::

MO_Daetalus says:  :: follows the CTO::

EO_Harhn says:  ::Follows CTO::

CTO_Castillo says:  ::enters the XO quarters looking for the Lt. Cmdr::

CEO_Jamin says:  %::impulse online, warp out, but ready for testing::

OPS_Zax says:  %::walks up to the CEO:: CEO: How's she looking?

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  Certainly.  ::enters bar::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  ::turns to the door as the gentlemen enter, but she doesn't stand:: All: Please take a seat...

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  Adm: The prosecution thanks the court ::sits down::

FCO_Tim says:  ::enters bar, signal for a waiter::

Host Admiral_Pitzul says:  :: nods ::

Host Admiral_Savek says:  XO: You have an opening statement ?

CTO_Castillo says:  ::looks at the members of his crew and sits down eager to hear this::

CEO_Jamin says:  %::jumps, startled:: OPS: Lieutenant! I didn't see you! ::calms down quickly, chastising himself for his own nervousness:: She's been better, but not very often.

LtCmdr_Charn says:  All: Mr... Hull, Mr. Daetalus, and Mr. Harhn, I presume, right? ::looks at each in turn as she says their names::

EO_Harhn says:  ::Looks at the Commander and then sits::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::sits down.  Pookie curls up at her feet, keeping his eye on the FCO::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: Would you like anything to drink?

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::looks over to the XO::

MO_Daetalus says:  :: pulls up a chair and sits::

EO_Harhn says:  LtCmdr: Yes sir

TO_Hull says:  Charn: Sir?

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Pushes himself from his seat, standing to honorfully address the court:: ADM: Indeed I do, your honor. May it please the court to present the following as our ::Motions to the CO and then himself:: opening statement...

Xelectrina says:  ::looks up at the tall man standing in her way and starts to go around him::

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  A coffee, thanks.  ::wonders what the FCO has on his mind::

Host Admiral_Poli says:  ::Looks over his PADD regarding Phail's past, notes the statement of his relation to the Bajoran resistance, then looks at Phail::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  All: My name is Jadis Charn... temporary SFI operative I am afraid.

OPS_Zax says:  %::smiles sympathetically:: CEO: She needs your touch, I think.

EO_Harhn says:  ::Nods::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::looking back to the presiding Admirals as he listens to the XO::

MO_Daetalus says:  ::nods at the disclosure::

Host Admiral_Savek says:  ::Thinks the XO must be Italian ::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::looks at the FCO with interest, mentally urging him to say what's on his mind::

Clerk says:  ::notices the tension in the room...glad he's only a clerk::

TO_Hull says:  ::raises his eyebrow, and looks over at Castillo::

Xelectrina says:  ::the officer turns her around and escorts her back to her chair::

FCO_Tim says:  ::gets waiter to get then one cup of coffee and one glass of Rigel 4 spring water:: CNS: I bought you here to get your advice on something..

CEO_Jamin says:  %::nods:: OPS: And needs to be kept out of trouble for a while. ::presses a couple of controls:: Actually, it looks like they've done pretty well, but I did expect her to be under her own power by now.

CTO_Castillo says:  ::looking at Charn::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  All: Since my life is worth next to nothing at this point, but since there's a lot at stake at this point, I'll have to ask you to keep what you hear and what you see between yourselves... nobody else is to be appraised of the situation without my consent. Understood?

CNS_Luchena says:  ::thinking about Varr.  Sighs deeply::

OPS_Zax says:  %CEO: That makes two of us.

EO_Harhn says:  Charn: Aye sir

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  Yes, Tim?

Xelectrina says:  ::sits down in the chair with a frown::

XO_Wilkens says:  ADM: In due... respect... To Mr. Eagle's opening statement, it is my intent to provide sufficient evidence that will prove the innocence of Captain Vn'dors actions.

MO_Daetalus says:  :: LtCmdr:: aye sir

LtCmdr_Charn says:  ::waits for the others to acknowledge::

CTO_Castillo says:  Charn: not even our superior officers?

Host Admiral_Savek says:  ::interested ::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: You see I've been meaning to tell someone from some time now. It's about Rigel 4 and the academy. It's also about a girl too.

CEO_Jamin says:  %OPS: Well... ::sighs heavily:: ...I'm not authorized to work on her...yet. I think I want a drink. You coming?

EO_Harhn says:  ::Looks at the CTO and wonders what this is about::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  CTO: At this point, no. They'll be approached by either me or the appropriate authorities when the time comes.

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  Adm: ::rises:: Objection your honor, Prosecutions title is JAG and not Mr.

CNS_Luchena says:  ::nods at FCO, encouraging him to continue::

OPS_Zax says:  %::sighs:: CEO: Sure.

Host Admiral_Poli says:  ::Listens to JAG, then turns back to Phail::

CTO_Castillo says:  ::confusion beginning to come across his face::

MO_Daetalus says:  SELF: huuummmmm

Host Admiral_Savek says:  JAG: You will have a chance to rebut

CEO_Jamin says:  %::walks out of ME with Zax, heading back for the TL::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  All: Any other questions?

Xelectrina says:  ::starts to get upset::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::squints slightly and grits his teeth at the XO's apparent mistake::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::wonders what Varr is doing::

OPS_Zax says:  %::following the CEO::

EO_Harhn says:  Charn: What is this about sir?

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: I was once married. When I was 18 I got married to Holly Topelson. We lived on Rigel 4 together.

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Glances sparingly at Mr. Eagle:: ADM: I stand corrected, your honor.

TO_Hull says:  ::remembers his Red Squad training::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  EO: I'm coming to that.
CTO: What is the last you know from your father, Mr. Castillo?

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  and what happened.  ::looks interested::

CMO_Varr says:  ::lost the empty teapot and wonders what he'll do next::

Host Admiral_Savek says:  ::nods:: XO Thank you

Clerk says:  ::can't help but laugh internally at the Mr. Jag objection::

CEO_Jamin says:  %*COM STARBASE*: This is the CEO of the Pendragon...or Valley Forge, I suppose. What will it take to get me to work on the Pen?

Host Admiral_Savek says:  ::thinks a rookie JAG ::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: About fifteen months ago, I lost her during an academy mission. She's gone.

Host Admiral_Pitzul says:  :: frowns at the clerk ::

CTO_Castillo says:  Charn: only that he was serving SF when he disappeared on me and my mother when I was 15. No explanation has ever been given to me about that scenario

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::looks at the Admirals confidently trying to show his belief in his innocence::

CEO_Jamin says:  %::enters the lift::

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  ::patiently waits::

OPS_Zax says:  %::follows the CEO into the TL::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  All: Well, we do have an explanation now, although we do not know of your father's whereabouts... or if he's dead or alive.

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  Gone?  Do you mean she is dead?  ::looks at FCO with concern::

Host Admiral_Poli says:  ::Looks at Phail with no emotion::

CEO_Jamin says:  <SB> *CEO*: The official word seems to be "enjoy your shore leave"....sir.

XO_Wilkens says:  ADM: Captain Vn'dor thought not of violence or death, but of the best interests of the United Federation of Planets, when he took advantage of the limited options available to him, and took a course of action. I tender that any sound Captain in our Starfleet would have acted similarly.

EO_Harhn says:  ::Looks on with interest::

CTO_Castillo says:  Charn: you have my curiosity please proceed

LtCmdr_Charn says:  All: We do know of a group... a secret group within Starfleet. Your father was a member of that group.

MO_Daetalus says:  :: dead or alive, this will make an interesting question to answer

Host Admiral_Savek says:  ::Raises Eyebrow::

Xelectrina says:  ::energy begins to surround her::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: Yes, she was killed in a Starfleet tactical mission. Ground assault. She fell off a cliff, 15 stories to her death ::starts to sob::

CEO_Jamin says:  %SELF: What the... ::frowns and looks at OPS:: OPS: How do you like THAT?

CNS_Luchena says:  <Pookie>  ::growling softly::

TO_Hull says:  ::Raises his other eyebrow, totally intrigued::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::calmly takes a drink out of his glass trying his best to look unaffected by his surroundings::

OPS_Zax says:  CEO: I'm sorry, Jamin. I know you wanted to take care of her yourself.

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  Oh, Tim.  I'm so sorry!  ::hands FCO a hanky::

XO_Wilkens says:  ADM: Furthermore, Captain Vn'dor defended himself and the crew of the U.S.S. Pendragon against what was apparently a threat to the best interests of the Federation.

CTO_Castillo says:  Charn: secret group? in SF? ::totally bewildered::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  All: They call themselves the "Cloak Squad". ::brings some information to the console so they can all see:: It is composed of seven members we know of at this time... several have been disposed of in the past years due to their... shall we say... reluctance to comply with some duties.

MO_Daetalus says:  :: looks on interested::

FCO_Tim says:  ::takes the handy:: CNS: No need to be sorry, god took her and I can't stop that. It was also my fault too, all though they told me it was not.

LtCmdr_Charn says:  CTO: It won't be the first so called "secret" group, and I'm afraid they won't be the last.

CEO_Jamin says:  %::takes a deep breath in a futile effort to relax:: OPS: At least... ::looking at various technical points of interest as they walk:: ...they seem competent enough. Hopefully I won't have to fix TOO much when we get her back.

EO_Harhn says:  ::Leans forward to see the screen::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::looks at Tim with concern::  FCO:  Why do you think it was your fault?

OPS_Zax says:  %CEO; Just enough, huh? ::smiles::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Takes a deep breath, nervously approaching his seat again, yet maintaining eye contact with the Admirals, indicating his is finished::

CMO_Varr says:  ::considers heading down to the lab to continue running tests::

Xelectrina says:  ::starts to become translucent::

CTO_Castillo says:  Charn: go on ...

LtCmdr_Charn says:  All: Their duties were to fix scenarios gone bad... like taking care of eradicating a plague out of control, stop revolutions before they started... everything was done undercover of course.

Host Admiral_Pitzul says:  :: nods at the XO ::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: Well I was on the cliff with her, it was on Antares 2. She said the rock was slippery and I ignored it. She fell moments later.

Clerk says:  ::prepares another PADD in case...coughs again but louder::

EO_Harhn says:  Charn: What kind of duties?

Host Admiral_Savek says:  Eagle : You have a rebuttal to his arguments ?

CEO_Jamin says:  %OPS: Uhmm... ::laughs a bit:: I suppose so. ::steps onto the SB deck again:: So, do you actually know any decent places to get a drink here?

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  It was an accident, Tim.  It was nobody's fault.

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Eases himself back into his seat, noiselessly shuffling the PADDs in his hand::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  EO: Massive murders, assassination... the sort.

EO_Harhn says:  Charn: How did they achieve this?

Host Admiral_Pitzul says:  :: makes a note on his PADD ::

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  It must have been a terrible thing for you to see.

CTO_Castillo says:  Charn: I thought SF didn't have people or groups like this in their federation?

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::leans over to Xelectrina::  Xelectrina:  What is the matter little one?

TO_Hull says:  ::Looks at the EO, disbelievingly::

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  Adm: I have no rebuttal to his opening statement , merely that I request the courtesy of being addressed as Jag or the Prosecution anything else is prejudicial

LtCmdr_Charn says:  All: In their origins, they were under the protective wing of a certain Senator, who made sure their activities would remain secret. It was his own private project as we understand.

XO_Wilkens says:  ADM: Your Honor, if I may... I formally request that Admiral Alexander-Heinlein be entered into the record as Acting Co-Council for Captain Vn'dor's defense.

EO_Harhn says:  ::Looks back at the TO with the same disbelief::

MO_Daetalus says:  CTO: That’s what we all thought, but I did not believe

LtCmdr_Charn says:  CTO: We don't? ::grins almost imperceptibly::

Xelectrina says:  ::stops and looks at the captain::  CO:  I have been sitting all day long waiting.  And now I am sitting again.  Please... can I have....

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  Admiral:  I do object to the Captain sitting next to a potential witness

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: Yes, that why I work so hard. For here memory. She always wanted to be an officer exploring the galaxy. And now I am. Now you can she why I'm so confused sometimes.

OPS_Zax says:  ::walks into the lounge with the CEO in tow::

CEO_Jamin says:  OPS: So, this place, huh?

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Stares minutely at "JAG"::

CTO_Castillo says:  Charn: but this senator did? So they have my father?

OPS_Zax says:  CEO: Good enough for me.

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  Xelectrina: ::smiling:: Can you have what?  Another ship!?  No, that's what started this mess.

CNS_Luchena says:  nods understandingly at the FCO::

OPS_Zax says:  ::sits down::

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  You do a fine job, Tim.

LtCmdr_Charn says:  CTO: Your father was a member in its origins. After a while, Senator Bofadine tried to stop the Squad as they were getting out of hand...

Xelectrina says:  CO:  but they are fun... sitting is not ::pouts::

Host Admiral_Savek says:  ::Rises:: All: What this hearing is to prove or disprove is if, in the opinion of this court the CO's Actions were made based on sound judgment and in the best interests of the Federation based on the rules we all must live by

EO_Harhn says:  Charn: So if you know of these people, why is nothing being done?

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: I also fear that no one else understands me. Only you really.

CEO_Jamin says:  ::nods:: OPS: What would you like? I'll get them if you grab a table.

Adm-Alexander says:  Adm: Objection your honors, it is well known that council can be called as a witness, but has nothing to do with my representing him.

LtCmdr_Charn says:  EO: Something is going to be done. Now.  Why do you think you are here if not?

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  Admiral: The state is referring to the child

MO_Daetalus says:  Charn: yeah, why has nothing been done?

Host Admiral_Savek says:  JAG: Addressing you by the formal Title of Mister is no disgrace

OPS_Zax says:  CEO: Whatever your having will be fine.

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  Tim, you have lots of friends here.

CTO_Castillo says:  Charn: my father what? ::almost sounding to doubt::

EO_Harhn says:  Charn; But what can we do sir?

LtCmdr_Charn says:  MO: Because they didn't know about this... until fairly recently. I am afraid I am involved in that as well.

CEO_Jamin says:  OPS: Actually, I haven't...well...had any drink in years. What's good?

MO_Daetalus says:  :: oh ::

Host Admiral_Savek says:  JAG: We are expected to abide by the rules of courtesy, I am sure that no insult was meant

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: I know I do but....I could only tell you. For some reason.

LtCmdr_Charn says:  All: If I may continue, you'll have a better view of this... and I a better foundation from where to answer your questions.

Adm-Alexander says:  Adms: The child in question is not happy nor comfortable with anyone else.

XO_Wilkens says:  ADM: I assure you, I meant no disrespect! That being the case, your honor, I respectfully request we proceed on to the case at hand. Mr. Eagle is confusing the case at hand.

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  Xelectrina:  ::whispers::  Don't you want to help me?

OPS_Zax says:  ::starts to laugh:: CEO: I don't know! I don't drink either!

EO_Harhn says:  Charn: Of course sir, please continue.

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  Admiral: I agree, I object to the defendant sitting next to the child I intend to call her and it is prejudicial

Xelectrina says:  ::looks up interested::  CO:  I help... but do I have to sit forever?

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  Its good to talk about painful things.

CTO_Castillo says:  ::shocked he turns his attention to the viewer in total horror::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  ::nods::

CEO_Jamin says:  OPS: But you've been meaning to start too?

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Once again refrains from glaring at Mr. Eagle, and grits his teeth::

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  Tell me about Holly.

MO_Daetalus says:  :: stares at the screen::

OPS_Zax says:  CEO: Maybe we should ask the doctor to join us? And maybe MO Lauren as well?

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: Yea, like my dad told me all about the Wolf 359 when it was done. Only me too.

CNS_Luchena says:  ::thinks about Varr::

Host Admiral_Savek says:  All: That you and all of may be refreshed I propose that we break for lunch ::turns to the JAG:: That will allow you to order your witnesses and displays to discover the truth of the events and the reasons for them any objections ?

TO_Hull says:  ::Crosses his arms in front of him, covers his mouth with his hand, in a 'Thinker' stance::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  All: After Senator Bofadine tried to stop the Cloak Squad, he was threatened with his life and his family's. He went into hiding but was eventually found and disposed of. That's when your father ::nods at Castillo:: deserted the group. He's not been heard of since...

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::rubs her gently on the shoulder::  Xelectrina: No... but for a little while longer.  The court will be breaking for recess soon and then you can get something to drink.

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Knits his brow::

OPS_Zax says:  CEO: Seems like a good time to start drinking, no?

CEO_Jamin says:  ::looks around, a little too eagerly:: OPS: Is she here? I hadn't had a chance to talk... ::stops himself::

JAG_Eagle_Pros says:  Adm: The State has no objection to recess

CTO_Castillo says:  ::horror is turning into dejection::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: Holly was a Swedish lady. About 5 foot 10, 119 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes.

CNS_Luchena says:  FCO:  Tell me more, Tim.

MO_Daetalus says:  Charn: and what??

Host Admiral_Savek says:  XO: Have you objection ?

Xelectrina says:  ::sighs::  CO:  OK

TO_Hull says:  ::Shakes his head in the negative ever so slightly::

OPS_Zax says:  CEO: I'll invite them to join us.

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Stands:: ADM: Defense has no objection to a short recess, your honor.

OPS_Zax says:  ::taps her comm. badge::

CEO_Jamin says:  OPS: Great! ::looking around eagerly::

CMO_Varr says:  ::watches as the rodent blinks, then smiles sharply at having won the staring contest, yet again::

EO_Harhn says:  ::Looks concerned::

Clerk says:  ::would object but can't..give time to switch PADDs::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  All: And then there was another defection. A certain member named Atkins went into hiding as well. Through him we know about the Squad, although he's no longer between us. He was found as well.

Host Admiral_Savek says:  ::knock on table :: All : So ordered , we meet back here in one hour Standard

Adm-Alexander says:  ::stands as the judges exit the chambers::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::stands till the Admirals leave::

LtCmdr_Charn says:  ::wonders how long till they find her... but quickly dismisses the thought::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: We met each other on Rigel 4. It was my last year there and I knew her twin brother Ulf. When I got back to earth we both ended up going to Zefram Cochrane high.

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Rises, nodding in turn to the Admiral and then JAG attorney::

Host Admiral_Poli says:  ::Nods along, wondering if there was this much doubt in the Captain's decision, how he reaches the Captaincy in the first place, but then shakes his head and dismisses the thoughts::

Host Admiral_Poli says:  ::Exits with the other Admirals::

Host Admiral_Pitzul says:  :: exits ::

Clerk says:  ::stops recording::
