::Sitting in the briefing room::

Host Adm_Bradley says:

CMO_Engstrom says:

Adm_Cramer says:
::Sits in the chair next to Bradley and looks about at the Titan's crew.::

XO-Teasley says:
CMO: Doctor. Where you affected by the "Natives"?

CMO_Engstrom says:
XO: Yes I was.

OPS_Blace says:
::Takes PADD from Alara::

CMO_Engstrom says:
XO: On one occasion that I know of.

XO-Teasley says:
CMO: Do you remeber anything from your contact with the Natives?

OPS_Blace says:
::Thinks: I am not enjoying this!!!!::

CMO_Engstrom says:
XO: I remember that the contact was violent, filling me with violent intent, and signifigantly different from any other experience I have had with telepathic peoples.  I remember being made to do things such as attempt to destroy the USS Titan, and I remember being forecably subdued.

Adm_Cramer says:
::Thinks: This should be interesting.::

XO-Teasley says:
CMO: Where were you affected?

CMO_Engstrom says:
XO: My location at the time was on the bridge. I would assume it affected my brain somewhere in the region of my head ::slight turn up of one side of his mouth::

XO-Teasley says:
CMO: DId you have any control over yourself while being affected by the natives?

CMO_Engstrom says:
XO: No. I did not.

XO-Teasley says:
CMO: Doctor. Are you tele-pathic at all?

Adm_Cramer says:
::Not humored.::

Host Adm_Bradley says:
::Shakes head, slightly::

Host CO-Michael_Gabel says:
::crosses his arms infront, and sits back in his chair::

CMO_Engstrom says:
XO: I have never previously been documented as possesing telepathic ability. And I believe myself non telepathic.

SO_Rya says:
::Reviews the data on her padd while listening to the testimony.::

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
::leans forwards, sitting elbow on the table, with my chin resting on my palm::

XO-Teasley says:
CMO: It was record in the ships logs you tried to treat the people that were affect didn't you not?

CMO_Engstrom says:
XO: Yes.  In my compacity as CMO of the Titan I attempted various treatment programs to prevent further possession.  Several of these proved moderately effective.

Host Adm_Bradley says:
::Interrupts the CMO::  Teasley: Is there a point to all this, Commander?

CMO_Engstrom says:
::thinks: there's a Question I wouldnt mind asking you...::

XO-Teasley says:
Adm Bradley: Just one second, sir.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::thinks about what the doctor is saying::

CNS_Fletcher says:
:: leans back in his chair as he records this hearing for the histroy books::

XO-Teasley says:
CMO: Could you have stopped these natives from entering there minds with drug if you had the time?

EO_Jareel_Be`Keth says:
::not liking this one bit cause it brings back memories::

Host Adm_Bradley says:
::sighs, thinking: I have to be home in time for dinner::

Host CO-Michael_Gabel says:
::thinks .... what are is the Admiral doing ... the cmdr is attempting to recreate a chain of events::

SO_Rya says:
::Crosses and uncrosses her legs.::

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
::cracks a slight grin at the admiral's thought::

CMO_Engstrom says:
XO: Given annother 8 - 10 months possibly. But not for certain.

XO-Teasley says:
CMO: Thankyou doctor. Adm: Your turn. Sir

EO_Jareel_Be`Keth says:
::remembers her mother fleeing form the Tal Shiar::

CMO_Engstrom says:
::notices the mole design on the Admirals face resembles a hunk of blue cheese, how interesting::

Adm_Cramer says:
::Clears throat::

Host Adm_Bradley says:
CMO: I'll ask you the same question I Asked your CO.  Do you see any way that this entire situation could have been avoided?

CMO_Engstrom says:
::offers Admiral Cramer his tissue::

CMO_Engstrom says:
Bradley: Not without advanced notice of the nature of the alien race.

Adm_Cramer says:
::Gives Engstrom an evil look::

Host Adm_Bradley says:
CMO: Thank you.  You may stand down.

OPS_Blace says:
::Gulps. The Admirals look mean.::

CMO_Engstrom says:
::gets up, walks a few steps, sits down::

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
::leans back in his chair and relaxes a bit::

CMO_Engstrom says:
::thinks: well at least I am getting my exercise::

Adm_Cramer says:
CMO: Ah, Doctor.

CNS_Fletcher says:
:: leaning back::

Adm_Cramer says:
CMO: I have a question for you.

CMO_Engstrom says:
Cramer: Throat bothering you? I can give you something for that after were done here.

XO-Teasley says:
::looks at the other admiral::

CMO_Engstrom says:
Cramer: Oh by all means, go ahead.

Adm_Cramer says:
CMO: That was not funny and completely inappropriate. Now...

XO-Teasley says:
::on the other side of the table from the crew::

CMO_Engstrom says:
::thinks: Later... really loudly::

SO_Rya says:
::Shakes head in dismay at the doctor's comments.::

Adm_Cramer says:
CMO: Were you incapacitated before or after the Captain was?

Host Adm_Bradley says:
::jots a few notes on the PADD in front of him::

XO-Teasley says:
::tryies to see what the notes are from where he does::

CMO_Engstrom says:
Cramer: Since I was incompacitated, I do not have first hand knowledge of wether or not the captain suffered annother attack.  However from the reccord I believe before.

Adm_Cramer says:
::Stares at the Doctor from his sitting position::

Adm_Cramer says:
CMO: You are saying that you were possessed before the captain was?

OPS_Blace says:
::Sees that Cramer is trying to trap him!::

CMO_Engstrom says:
Cramer: I am saying I have no way of having knowledge of events that occoured while I was unconcious.  From the official logs, I was after his first attack, and I believe but am unsure that I saw a report of a second attack.

CMO_Engstrom says:
Cramer: However second hand information is inadmisable in a starfleet court.

XO-Teasley says:
::stands there, kinda leaning on the tabel::

Adm_Cramer says:
CMO: Well, this is my courtroom on my station.

Host Adm_Bradley says:
CMO: This is not an official court, Lt.  Just a formal hearing.

Adm_Cramer says:
CMO: No further questions.

CMO_Engstrom says:
Bradley: Very well sir, in that case, I dont know.

XO-Teasley says:
::looks at admiral Bradley::

Host Adm_Bradley says:
::nods and jots down a few more notes on the PADD::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::this isn't looking good::

Adm_Cramer says:
::Stares at the CMO for a moment and then turns back to XO to see who he wants next.::

Host Adm_Bradley says:
Teasley: Proceed, Commander.

CMO_Engstrom says:
::thinks: which is what I said in the first place::

XO-Teasley says:
All: I call Alara Rya to the Stand.

Adm_Cramer says:
::Thinks: He could've said that in the first place.::

Host CO-Michael_Gabel says:
::Straightens posture while still remaining sitting::

OPS_Blace says:
::Thinks: Good luck!::

SO_Rya says:
::Thinks; great and heads for the stand.::

Adm_Cramer says:
::Whispers something to Bradley that only he can hear.::

SO_Rya says:
::Sits down::

XO-Teasley says:
SO: WHere you affected by the Natives?

SO_Rya says:
XO: Yes sir.

Host Adm_Bradley says:
::nods back to Admiral Cramer and makes more notes on the PADD::

XO-Teasley says:
SO: About how many times?

SO_Rya says:
::Thinks for a minute.:: XO: Once on the planet and then, quite frankly I lost count after I was beamed back to the Titan.

XO-Teasley says:
SO: I know for almost fact that to were affected no more than 5 times. Would that sound right?

SO_Rya says:
XO: Yes, I guess it would, sir.

Adm_Cramer says:
XO: Excuse me, but who is the witness here?

XO-Teasley says:
Cramer: SO-Alara Rya. the Sience officer.

Host Adm_Bradley says:
SO & XO: I reiterate, we are interested in facts...not guesses or almost facts.

XO-Teasley says:
Bradley: Yes sir.

XO-Teasley says:
SO: Did you have any control while you wear affect?

SO_Rya says:
Adms: Yes sirs.

SO_Rya says:
XO: No sir.

Adm_Cramer says:
::Shakes head at the diresepect that the crew shows.::

CMO_Engstrom says:
::bites his lip to contain a comment::

XO-Teasley says:
SO: Do you think we could have evodled this if we knew the natives telepathic ablites?

SO_Rya says:
XO: Yes, I believe we could have.

XO-Teasley says:
SO: Thankyou: Adm's: Your witness.

SO_Rya says:
::shifts nervously in her chair.::

Adm_Cramer says:
::Taps Bradley on shoulder::

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
::looks over at the other admirals::

Host Adm_Bradley says:
Cramer: Yes?

CMO_Engstrom says:
::notices the SO is nervous and remembers she's telepathic, sends encourageing thoughts toward the chair::

XO-Teasley says:
::has slight grin on his face. Being calm and cool about this.::

Adm_Cramer says:
SO: What are your duties aboard the Titan?

Adm_Cramer says:
::Thinks no Yes/No answers, missy::

CNS_Fletcher says:
::leans forward in his chair hating this unneccessary hearing::

SO_Rya says:
Adm Cramer: I am a senior science officer and member of the bridge crew sir.

Adm_Cramer says:
SO: I am aware of that, but what were your duties during the mission?

SO_Rya says:
Adm Cramer: I was in charge of leading the away mission on Mirakin IV sir.

XO-Teasley says:
::listens carefully::

CMO_Engstrom says:
::contemplates having a talk with Cramer's GP later::

Adm_Cramer says:
SO: Ms. Rya, you are telepathic, were you aware of any security issues that your AT might face, once you beamed down?

CMO_Engstrom says:
::begins examineing the Admiral as a patient, thinks: Dimensia? Meglomania?, hmm have to have a talk with Fletcher maybe...::

SO_Rya says:
Adm. Cramer: Could you please clarify your question? We took all standard precautions for a duckblind mission.

Adm_Cramer says:
SO: Did you sense the natives' harmful intentions when you were on the planet?

CNS_Fletcher says:
:: the admiral is asking irrelavant questions""

Host CO-Michael_Gabel says:
::watchs intently ... thinks: this is a waste of time ...::

XO-Teasley says:
::qucikly goes into his wintes list for a bit of surprise::

SO_Rya says:
Adm. Cramer: No. At no time did I sense harmful intentions from the natives.\

Host Adm_Bradley says:
::holds up a hand to Cramer::

Adm_Cramer says:
::Nods:: SO: Thank you.

SO_Rya says:
Adm. : You're welcome sir.

CNS_Fletcher says:
:: the federation could be attack right now but no we are in a stupid hearing::

XO-Teasley says:
::looks up at Admiral Bradley::

Host Adm_Bradley says:
Rya: How was it then, that the natives discovered your presence?

Adm_Cramer says:
::Looks to Bradley:: Bradley: Yes, I'm done.

SO_Rya says:
     Adm. Bradley: I don't know sir. They attacked the counselor and myself telepathically and then we were beamed back up to the Titan.

Host Adm_Bradley says:
Rya: Is it possible that someone in the away team broadcast to them first?

Adm_Cramer says:
::Makes a fist under the table::

SO_Rya says:
Adm: I have no idea sir. They appeared to have highly evolved telepathic capabilities. I suspect they knew we were there before we even landed.

Host Adm_Bradley says:
::Makes more notes on the PADD:: You are dismissed, Lt.

Adm_Cramer says:
SO: Um, Lt.

Host Adm_Bradley says:
Teasley: Proceed

XO-Teasley says:
Adm: I would like to call one more person. I call you Admiral Bradley. Sir.

Host Adm_Bradley says:
::holds a hand to Cramer again:: We have all we need, Admiral.

SO_Rya says:
Adm: Thank you sir. ::Hears Cramer and stops halfway back to her seat.::

Adm_Cramer says:
::Nods::

SO_Rya says:
::Looks at the XO.:: XO: May I sit down sir?

XO-Teasley says:
SO: You can sit.

Host Adm_Bradley says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Now how is it you can have me testify, Commander?

CMO_Engstrom says:
::notices the fist under the table, the increasing evidence of increased blood pressure in the large purple veins on the admirals forehead, wishes he had brought a advanced life support kit::

SO_Rya says:
::Sits back down in relief.::

Adm_Cramer says:
XO: He was not part of what we are investigating Commander.

XO-Teasley says:
Admiral: Well sir you dod Order us on this mission. I would like to know what you know.

Adm_Cramer says:
::Turns to Bradley::

XO-Teasley says:
::stares waitng for an aswer::

CMO_Engstrom says:
::trying very hard not to grin::

Host Adm_Bradley says:
Teasley: Commander, My orders took place before you landed on the planet.  The orders also informed you that previous surveys were done via automated probe only.  My testimony would have no relevance.  Besides, A commanding officer has no nee dto explain his orders.

OPS_Blace says:
::Thinks: Oh great. Teasley's gonna get us all kicked out of Starfleet!::

SO_Rya says:
::Listens with interest.::

Host Adm_Bradley says:
Teasley: I believe that more caution should have been used on this mission.

XO-Teasley says:
Admiral: Why couldn't you send it a small team instead of a whole starship?

FCO_Jadahn says:
::thinks "Just answer the question, Mr. "Commanding Officer"!::

CMO_Engstrom says:
::hears conditions in the regula mining fleet frequently call for well trained crews::

CMO_Engstrom says:
::remembers a very old program he saw once, where a very distinquished looking lawer shouted "Just what are you hiding Sir" at a witness::

Host Adm_Bradley says:
Teasley: It was not my decision, Commander.  Now  ::sternly:: I suggest you call another witness before I get upset.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::waits answer::

CNS_Fletcher says:
:: can't wait this over , i wonder if tobias feed the pets::

Adm_Cramer says:
::Rolls eye's at the boy's silly questioning.::

OPS_Blace says:
::Thinks: Teasley got in trouble::

CMO_Engstrom says:
::thinks: Good heavens we wouldnt want you to get upset, then I would have two top brass in serious danger of a cardiovascular episode::

XO-Teasley says:
Admiral: I recall Captain Gabel to the stand.

CMO_Engstrom says:
::Looks at the SO and wonders how much she is picking up on::

SO_Rya says:
::Picks up some of the doctor's emotions and smiles slightly at him.::

CMO_Engstrom says:
::winks at her just to be on the safe side::

Adm_Cramer says:
::Wispers to Bradley that he has a question for the captain::

Host Adm_Bradley says:
Teasley: Excellent decision, Commander.

Host CO-Michael_Gabel says:
::stands ... a bit amazed::

Host CO-Michael_Gabel says:
::walks to the stand and sits::

SO_Rya says:
::Nods at Dr. Engstrom.::

Adm_Cramer says:
::Looks over this young captain.::

XO-Teasley says:
CO: Sir. What were your oders from Admiral Bradley.

CNS_Fletcher says:
:: in other words the admiral doesn't know::

CMO_Engstrom says:
::thinks Cramer must be nearly at retirement age, wonders if he has enough friends to get him into early retirement: One can hope, and they wonder why we keep nearly loosing to the borg::

Host Adm_Bradley says:
::nods to Cramer and jots down some more notes while looking at Teasley::

XO-Teasley says:
::knows Bradley is eyeing me again::

Host CO-Michael_Gabel says:
XO: We were ordered to enter into a Duck-blind mission on the inquestioned planet

Host Adm_Bradley says:
Teasley:  We all know what the orders were, Commander.  Get on with it

SO_Rya says:
::Tries not to grin at the doctor.::

CMO_Engstrom says:
::stifles an urge to quote his mother and thinks: if you look at people like that your face will stay that way::

XO-Teasley says:
CO: DId you think the admiral could have sent in a small team first to find out what the "Natives" mental things where before we came.

OPS_Blace says:
::Thinks: i wish I were an admiral.::

Host Adm_Bradley says:
::holds up a hand to Gabel::

XO-Teasley says:
::looks at admiral Bradley::

Host CO-Michael_Gabel says:
::sees Adm_BRadley's Hand::

OPS_Blace says:
::Thinks: Bradley likes holding up his hands::

Host CO-Michael_Gabel says:
::Turns and looks::

CMO_Engstrom says:
::thinks Admiral Bradley needs to cut his finger nails::

Host Adm_Bradley says:
Teasley:  Commander, there is no way your Captain could have known the disposition of our vessels at that time.  The question is irrelevant.

Host Adm_Bradley says:
All: This hearing will take a thirty minute recess.

XO-Teasley says:
::sore admiral::

Host CO-Michael_Gabel says:
::thinks: what is Cmdr Teasley getting at ... this is off Topic::

SO_Rya says:
::Wishes she were back in the astrometrics lab, studying nebula or something.::

CMO_Engstrom says:
::wonders if he can play on the swings, and grins::

Host CO-Michael_Gabel says:
::Rubbs his light beard::

Adm_Cramer says:
::Feels bad for the Commander who is obviously trying to defend his crew and his friends::
