Acting Captain's Log Stardate 10710.28 The crew continues their shore leave as the Captain's trial continues. What verdict is still to come?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
::In Courtroom, ready to start the Defense.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::paces outside in the hallway, staying away from the Cherokee crew::

Host Adm-Black says:
Def:  Are you ready to proceed?

Host aCO_Worthington says:
::on the station, outside of the courtroom::

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Judge: Yes your honor.  For our first witness, we call the Defendants Commanding Officer, Admiral Alexander.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: stepping onto the nearly empty bridge, nodding to the lone security officer as he takes a seat at an empty terminal.  ::

Host Adm-Black says:
Def:  You may call your first witness.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::walking down a corridor near the main Promenade on the station.::

Host Security says:
Adm-Alexander:  Please follow me and take your seat on the witness stand. ::holding the door open for her::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@::Sorting through some personal belongings,  in her quarters and giving it some finishing touches::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::nodding she goes into the court room and takes her seat::

Host aCO_Worthington says:
::seeing the Admiral go in, gets up and leaves::

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: notes a small indicator light still blinking on the security panel and walks over to it, motioning to the security officer to come over. :: TO: Is there anyone left on board in that section?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::looking straight ahead, she waits for the defense to begin::

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Adm: Admiral Alexander, you've been Captain Ayidee's Commanding Officer since he transferred to the Cherokee.  How much trust do you have in his ability to make the right decisions under pressure?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Def:  I trust him implicitly.  He has always been a good officer.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@<TO Gene Eric> aXO: Just a few of the Engineering Staff.  Looks like one of the Star Base's Technicians forgot to secure the compartment separator again.  They've been known to do that.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@ :: sighs and nods. Tapping the intercom switch. :: Shipwide: I need the senior Engineering Officer on board to meet me in Main Engineering. Hazzard out!

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::she goes to a baby store to see what she can buy for her new addition::

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Adm: This has been the first even question raised about his decisions, correct?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Def:  That is correct.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: motions for Ensign Eric to stay on the bridge as he uses the Turbolift, sighing to himself as this is shaping up to be just a wonderful day for him.::

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Adm: Starfleet Officers are trusted to make changes in their carrying out of orders, perhaps stopping an escort of a Diplomatic team to provide emergency assistance to a vessel in distress, correct?

Host aCO_Worthington says:
::exiting to the promenade he walks by the shops, looking fo something to buy his mother::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Def:  That is correct.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@::smiles:: Self: At last it looks like I have something to do.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Adm: So what is the difference here?  Isn't this simply a case of an officer seeing a pressing need and altering his course of action to best correct a potential disaster?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::she sees a nice little crib sheet set, so she selects a pink one, a yellow one, and  a purple one.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Def:  I can see a civilian seeing that way Mr. Lav, but the circumstances are different for a Starfleet Officer.  He knew what his orders were ::she stops for a moment:: and chose to disobey them.

Host aCO_Worthington says:
::entering one fabric shop, noting the Starbase personnel who shoot him an almost dirty look::

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Adm: So the difference is, the defendant was ordered to ignore a fugitive from Starfleet with a Bio-Weapon he planned to use in an attempted extinction event?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@*aXO*: On my way.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::exits her quarters and heads towards main engineering::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Def:  Sir, I have my orders as well.  I know the background, however, Starfleet chose not to pursue LoDuca.  There are many in disagreement with those orders, but as officers, we must obey.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Adm: How long has this fugitive been sought by Starfleet?  Twenty years?  More?  I just have to wonder, how it took a disobeyed order to bring him to justice.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@ ::Enters Main Engineering and stands there, fuming.  The Main Engineering Display bench is completely cluttered with work PADD's, errant tools and what looks like a sandwich wrapper.:: *CEO*: ASAP would be good.  Especially with what I'm looking at Ensign.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Adm: That's what I thought.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::she spots a nice outfit or ten, so she adds that to her collection to purchase::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Def:  Your time estimate is correct.  It would appear that the disobeying of that order did indeed bring him down.

Host aCO_Worthington says:
::ignoring them he approaches the shopkeeper:: Shopkeeper: How much is the Andorian Silk?

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@*OPS*: Kyleigh, are you busy right now?

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Adm: How much logistical support would a single heavy cruiser require?

Host aCO_Worthington says:
<Shopkeeper>aCO: 2 strips a yard. How much would you like?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
*aXO*:  Just spending some credits for some things for Ryleigh, don't want to be caught off guard when she is born.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@*aXO*: Yes Sir!  ::hurries up, wondering what the hell has been going on down there::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Def:  I am sorry, but I do not have the specifics.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: chuckles as the comment calms him down a bit. :: *OPS* : When you get a chance, I need to set up a meeting with the work supervisor for the Engineering and Refit teams on Starbase.  They've forgotten basic manners again.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Adm: Would an independent operator without a true support base be able to field one, let alone a fleet of ships?  In your opinion, of course.   I understand that your specialty was not logistics, but you have some idea of the efforts your Starbase crew put into maintenance and supply.

Host aCO_Worthington says:
::hands him a PADD:: Shopkeeper: Have it sent to this address with these specifications.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Def:  I would say no Mr. Lav.  I would think many personnel and ships would need to be available.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Adm: I understand, and I would think you are correct.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@:: comes running into Main engineering, skidding to a halt as she sees the look on the aXO's face, tripping and barreling into him causing the rubbish to go flying everywhere::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::begins to have a notion where the defense is going with this line of questioning::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
*aXO:*  I'll be there as soon as I can, and not a moment sooner.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Adm: Finally, if you could take a step back from your relationship with the Captain, would you call this operation a success?  No lost crew, few lost supplies, and a long time fugitive captured and all that.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@aXO: Oh, Oh, I'm sorry.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::she takes her purchases to the sales clerk and pays for her purchases and asks them to be delivered to the Cherokee::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@::blushes a furious shade of red and cringes at her clumsiness::

Host aCO_Worthington says:
::exiting out of the shop he bumps into the Station officer who gave him the look:: Officer: Sorry.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Def:  Were I not an Admiral in Starfleet I would call his endeavor and resounding success.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: catches the CEO in his arms and steadies her as he tries to calm himself. :: CEO: Well, nice to see someone still remembers what ASAP means.  Take a good look, Ensign.  Let me know if anything here is broken.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Adm: Thank you Admiral.  
Judges: That's all I have for this witness.

Host SF_Officer says:
aCO: Why don't you watch where you are going, traitor?

Host Adm-Black says:
::looks to the prosecutor::

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@*OPS*: No rush on it.  I have the CEO here to help me assess the damage.  Enjoy your time off.

Host Prosecutor-Bilge says:
Admiral:  However we view this situation, no matter what we think personally, did Captain Ayidee disobey direct orders from Starfleet Command?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Prosecutor:  Yes.

Host Prosecutor-Bilge says:
Judges:  I have no further questions from this witness.

Host Adm-Black says:
Adm:  You may step down Admiral.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::she nods and steps down, walking to the back of the court room::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@::looks over the mess, shaking her head incredulously::  aXO: I don't think anything is damaged sir, but I had better take a closer look.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CEO: Don't overlook anything.  I will not have my ship treated like a refuse dump.  Catalog everything that is out of place or unsatisfactory to your requirements. :: crosses his arms over his chest as he leans against a bulkhead. ::

Host aCO_Worthington says:
SF_Officer: Watch your tongue there, Ensign. I said I was sorry.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Judges: Next witness your honors, Lieutenant Junior Grade Quislat, Supply Clerk division.

Host aCO_Worthington says:
::hears the Officer grumble under his breath as he leaves::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@::nods, clearing away the rubbish, noting a sandwich wrapper, several crusts of bread and what seem to be limp, brown pieces of shredded lettuce::

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
::raises her eyebrows and wonders who this is::

Host Security says:
Quislat:  Follow me and take your seat.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: bends over the CEO as she picks up the refuse. :: CEO: Is that what I think it is?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@::grimaces:: aXO: I'm not quite sure sir. What do you think it is?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::she walks down the line of shops and she comes across some nice items that are tempting, she picks out several items for herself and Kevin and a few little trinkets for the Twins, she pays for them and requests that they be delivered to the Cherokee::

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Quislat: Lieutenant, I understand you've been assigned to the Starfleet Logistical Corps for the duration of your career.  I'll keep this short so you can get back to your duties.  On Stardate 10705.15, you authorized a large shipment of Antimatter and Deuterium to be sent to supply outpost 115.  What was the reason for this level of supplies being sent to a small outpost with few vessels in it's range?

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@ :: growls as he takes the item in question out of her hands and tosses it into the refuse receptacle not five feet away. :: CEO: That was someone's hide.  As in, I'm going to have someone's hide for dinner tonight for the repair and refit crew leaving my ship a complete and total garbage haul.

Host Quislat says:
Def: I received a request for the supplies through the normal CoC.  There seemed nothing unusual about it, at the time.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Quislat: Nothing unusual?  Did that base ever get such a delivery before?

Host aCO_Worthington says:
Self: The nerve of some people! ::leaves back to the promenade::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@::At his room. Finished working on his plants. Takes a freshly potted Spathiphyllum and walked over to the door of the CEO. He placed the plant in front of the door.:: Self: Well she will find it over here. Better to make crewmates happy, and that I have to dump plants, because I have to many.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@:: sorts through the tools left lying around, storing them away in their proper place and taking count of them all, making sure nothing is missing muttering quietly:: Self: This is what I get for trusting someone else with my baby.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@*FCO*: Ensign Zdunovski, Where are you at present?

Host Quislat says:
Def: I don't know.  It's not my job to authorize the shipments, just process them.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Quislat: I understand, bureaucratic procedure and all that.  Who's job was it to authorize them?

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CEO: Ensign, I'm going to be present when I have the Starbase Repair Team Supervisor here.  But this is your department.  I want this handled, am I clear on this?

Host Quislat says:
Def: I've been told that is sensitive information, and that knowing the name was on a need to know basis.  I didn't ask, as everything else was as it should be.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Quislat: You didn't need to know?  Someone's name had to be on the records.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@::nods:: aXO: Yes sir, crystal.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@*aXO*: Crew quarters area sir, but I was on my way to the bridge.
Host Quislat says:
Def: The computer blanked the name out, as my Security Clearance wasn't high enough I guess.  It's happened before, but not often.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Quislat: Thank you, that's all I have.

Host Prosecutor-Bilge says:
Judges:  No questions.  You are dismissed Quislat.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@::Walks over to the TL.::

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: grins at the CEO as he turns his head to listen to the FCO. :: *FCO*: Belay that trip, Ensign.  Repair and Refit teams just wrecked my Engineering team and are now due for a date with a very irate CEO.  I need you to check Shuttlebay One and make sure they didn't leave you a mess to clean up either.

Host Prosecutor says:
::puzzled as to what the defense is doing::

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@*aCO*: Commander, are you near the R&R department, station side?

Host aCO_Worthington says:
::Walks around the promenade shops, wondering what brought on all the hostility::

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Judges: As I've already found my own Security Clearance won't let me know who did approve those supplies, supplies which no one has yet received once LoDuca was captured, I'll move on to the next witness.   For our final witness, the Defendant would like to take the stand.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@TL: Shuttlebay.

Host Adm-Black says:
::nods to the defense::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@::finishes clearing away the last of the debris and looks over everything noting the sticky sugary brown residue of a spill down the side of a console::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Rises and takes the stand.::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@::The TL stops at the deck where the Shuttlebay is. The FCO walks out and in to the Shuttlebay.::

Host Adm-Black says:
::makes a note to check into this::

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
CO: Captain Ayidee, how would you describe your job as a Starfleet Officer?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Def: My job is to defend the Federation from all threats, and to maintain peace within it's borders.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@::Raises an eyebrow or two, when he sees the mess.:: All: Wow, what the... is this? Pipes, hoses, wiring, is this a waste room over here?

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
CO: So it's to protect the planets and people of the Federation?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Def: Among other things.  The Federation is more than the sum of it's parts.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
CO: How so?  It's a space power, made up of those who, well, make it up?

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@*FCO*: Let me guess Ensign.  Disaster zone in Shuttle Bay One?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@Self: What they heck have they been doing down here?! Arrrgh! ::growls under her breath::

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@*aCO*: Commander Worthington, can you hear me?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Def: No, it's more than that.  It's an idea, a way of life.  That's what makes us great, we are ruled by the laws that separate us from barbarism.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
CO: Laws which you failed to follow.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@*aXO: Uhuh, ::sighs:: yes sir, you could say so. And you where just going to tell me, that I have to clean this mess?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Def: Yes, laws which I was forced to break in the individual moment in order to protect the basic structure.  Sacrifice whatever was needed to protect what is important.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: stands there for a moment, his face growing a bit red from holding his temper in. :: *FCO*: Negative, Ensign.  Report to me in Main Engineering.  Don’t touch one iota of garbage.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CEO: Stop what your doing Ensign.  This isn't your mess to clean up.  I will NOT have my crew cleaning up after others.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
CO: I see.  So it's the laws that bind this collection of species together, that makes us a people instead of a conglomeration?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@:: takes a deep breath attempting to calm herself:: aXO: Everything seems to be functioning properly Sir, despite our initial concerns.

Host aCO_Worthington says:
::ducks into an old antique store, heads over to some antique books::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Def: Exactly.  We are more than the sum of our parts.

Host aCO_Worthington says:
*aXO*: This is Worthington.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@::Walks around the garbage, and only taking things up in his mind.::*aXO*: Main Engineering yes I am coming over, right away. By the way, I just took some 3D images with my little pocket imagers.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
CO: When making Command Decisions, how much does weighing the costs and benefits come into play making a decision?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Def: It weighs a lot.  Have to know what you're getting and what it's going to cost you.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@::Takes a few images and moves from the Shuttlebay on his way to main engineering.::

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
CO: So then you need to make decisions to minimize the costs, correct?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Def: Yes.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
CO: Is that why you didn't let the crew know of the nature of your orders?  To minimize the cost of taking down the threat.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@*aCO*: Commander, I'm sorry to report that the Refit and Repair teams have left Main Engineering and Shuttlebay One a complete disaster zone.  Refuse and tools everywhere.  Would it be possible for you to send the supervisor for their work details to Main Engineering so our CEO and FCO can express their displeasure?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@aXO: Yes sir ::steps back from the mess and points to something greenish and moist in one corner:: aXO: Oh my. What IS that thing?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Def: Exactly, and it worked.  One "casualty" is a low cost considering the benefits.

Host aCO_Worthington says:
*aXO*: I will see what I can do. ::exits out and heads to the maintenance office::

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
CO: Pretty low cost.  Does the fact that the "casualty" was you make it weigh more for you?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Def: Not at all, if anything it made the cost easier to accept.  I'd do it again.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
::Winces at the last line, not what we discussed earlier.::

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
CO: Why is the law so important, in your opinion?  Can't good people be trusted to make good decisions?

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CEO: I have absolutely no idea at all.  When the supervisor is brought down here.  I want you and Ensign Zdunovski to handle this.  These are your departments they trashed.  I'll be here to provide support as necessary.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Def: Yes, they can, but not all people are good.  And those who aren't are usually more willing to use that power than those who aren't.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
CO: Have you seen those willing to use that power for...

Host Prosecutor-Black says:
Judges:  Objection your honors.  Calls for a conclusion!

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@::Places the images on his reserve PADD while walking in to main engineering.:: aXO: Sir I am reporting to duty. And here is my PADD. I have placed images on it, images I took in the Shuttlebay.

Host Adm-Black says:
Def:  Sustained.  Watch yourself Mr. Lav.

Host aCO_Worthington says:
::entering the maintenance office he sees the same Ensign from earlier, sitting behind a desk:: SF_Officer: Who is in charge here?

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Judges: It's not a conclusion, your honor.  It's the Defendants way of thinking.  But moving on.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@::nods and takes the PADD, nodding over to the CEO.  :: FCO: Thanks Ensign.  Seems you and the CEO get to have an early start on basic Department Head training.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
CO: have you seen abuse of power from those in a position to abuse it at the expense of those looking out for others?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Def: More than I'd care to recall.  As I said, rule of law keeps us separated from the barbarians.

Host SF_Officer says:
aCO: We don't much care for your kind around here so I suggest that you leave before I have to throw you out.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@::Raises an eyebrow at the aXO 's comment.::

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
CO: Thank you Captain, that's all I have.
Prosecutor: Your witness.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@aXO: What do you mean by that sir?

Host Prosecutor-Bilge says:
CO:  Captain Ayidee, I have one and only one question for you.  Did you disobey direct orders from Starfleet Command?

Host aCO_Worthington says:
SF_Officer: Look here, Ensign.  My ship is a disaster zone and I want to talk to the person responsible. And If you disrespect me again I will have you mining borite on the nearest asteroid. You got that Mister?

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CEO/FCO: I mean that as the senior ranking officers in your department, I want to see you stepping up to the plate and looking out for the people who work for you.  Do you think its fair to ask your men and women to clean up after this mess?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Prosecutor: Yes Sir, I did disobey an order to achieve a greater good.

Host SF_Officer says:
aCO: Oh, that’s right. You people make up your own rules. Sorry I forgot. The Lieutenant is out for a bit. I don't know if you want to wait but I will definitely tell him you stopped by.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@::Looking around and seeing the same mess over here.:: 
Self: Hehe what a mess.

Host Prosecutor-Bilge says:
CO:  I have no further questions.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@aXO: No sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Steps down and says a few words to the Defense attorney, which turns into an argument.::

Host Adm-Black says:
Def:  Sir, if you cannot control your client, then we will take measures to do so.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*aCO*: Commander, any luck with the Refit and Repair Department?

Host aCO_Worthington says:
SF_Officer: Let's see, I have a better idea. I will go find Admiral Alexander and come back for both of you. Hope you like airlocks, you are about to be seeing a whole lot more of them soon.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Judges: May we approach, your honor?

Host Prosecutor-Bilge says:
Def/Pros:  Approach the bench.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
::Approaches the bench.::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@aXO: Most certainly not! I want whoever did this to my ship held responsible, even if it means they have to come in here, get down on hands and knees and lick up the mess! ::Crosses her arms and frowns as she looks over the mess again::

Host Prosecutor-Bilge says:
::wonders what is happening and stand to walk to the bench::

Host SF_Officer says:
aCO: Jeez, ok. Calm down. *LT_Gomez*: Lieutenant, some one from the Cherokee is looking for you.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Judge: Against strong opposition from Console, my client wishes to ask for a Plea.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::she does more shopping and requests that her purchases be sent to the Cherokee::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@:: tries deep breathing again to calm herself down as she paces back and forth::

Host Adm-Black says:
Prosecutor:  Any objections?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@::Started to rub his hands.:: Self: Whoever has created this mess, should pay for it.

Host Prosecutor-Bilge says:
Judges:  I would like to hear what he wants your honors.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: gathers one bag of garbage, looking at the two junior officers.:: CEO/FCO: You two stand by.  I'm going to head over there personally.  Handle this in my own fashion.

Host SF_Officer says:
aCO: He says he is busy and will meet with you back here in an hour. That ok or are you going to threaten me some more?

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
Judges: He is willing to accept the charges of disobeying an order, if the sentence can be decided on before time.  He will surrender his Command as long as no negative mention from this falls upon the records of any of his crew.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
@::Grins, hoping that the aXO is thinking of doing with the garbage just what she would love to do::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@::Looks stupid around as he heard the aXO.:: aXO: I could lend you a fist. ::Smiling.::

Host Adm-Black says:
Prosecutor:  Do you have any objections to this?

Host Prosecutor-Bilge says:
Judges:  None your honors.

Host aCO_Worthington says:
SF_Officer: You tell the Lieutenant that if he does not have his crews back on my ship cleaning that mess they made in the next 20 minutes I am going to come back here with the Admiral and we will have the entire crew plus you two assigned to Zero G cleaning duty for the next 6 months! Do you understand?

Host Prosecutor-Bilge says:
Judges:  This will include a rank reduction?

Host Adm-Black says:
Prosecutor:  Of course.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
::Grimaces.::  Judges: I do not think it is warranted, but my client wishes that.  Again, against my advice.

Host SF_Officer says:
::relays the message to the LT:: aCO: Fine, he will have the crew report back to the Cherokee immediately and he will meet your CEO there. Anything else your royal highness?

Host Prosecutor-Bilge says:
Def/Prosecutor:  Very well.  We will retire now to make our decision.  
ALL:  Court dismissed.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
::Walks back to the Defendant, frowning.::  CO: I still think you made the wrong decision.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
@::she returns to the Cherokee to see that all her purchases have been delivered and she sorts through the many piles.::

Host aCO_Worthington says:
SF_Officer: Twenty minutes or I will be back. ::exits the office:: *aXO*: Lieutenant Gomez will meet the CEO in twenty minutes, they have orders to clean up their mess.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Smiles.::  Def: That's because we play different parts in the game.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@*aCO*: Sir, I'm just going to return some things they left on board.  I won't be long and I'll have the CEO ready to receive company.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
@CEO: Hmm, what a mess huh?

Host Prosecutor-Bilge says:
ACTION:  The judges take their seats and quickly go through the case.  A decision is made.  They call for security to have the defendant and both councils to return to the court room.

Host Def_Neaj_Lav says:
CO: No, we play for the same team.  ::Stops as they return to the court room.::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
