<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Cpt_McD says:
::stands outside the court-room with everyone, a hesitant face::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
@::sitting in chambers::

XO_Hart says:
::standing slightly to one side - away from the rest of the Scimitar crew::

CMO_Moore says:
@::in his office on the Titan waiting for the Vidlink to be opened::

CmdrRomel says:
::arrives at the doubledoors leading into the courtroom, dressed in the crimson of Command...carrying a single padd in hand::

Cpt_McD says:
::looks over to Hart for a bleak moment...then immediately turns away, remembering what he said in his Briefing::

XO_Hart says:
::under guard::

CmdrRomel says:
::steps up to the door terminal and logs his pressence with the JAG mainframe::

Cpt_McD says:
::looks over to Romel...nods...then turns away back to his own PADDs::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
@::console bleeps::

CmdrRomel says:
::notices the CO and returns the nod.....goes over his notes one last time::

XO_Hart says:
::waiting patiently to see what the fates have in store for her::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
@::gets up from chair and nods to Baliff::

CMO_Moore says:
@::looks at the watch hopes all is well::

CTOGuilln says:
::stands  out the door with a serious face::

CMO_Moore says:
@::worries about Hart::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
<Baliff> ::opens doors::...

Host Adm_DHeth says:
<Baliff>:: looks at group::.....it is time

CmdrRomel says:
::checks the latest reports from the front at Betazed....not good::

CMO_Moore says:
@::"kicks" himself for not being there to approve the device::

CTOGuilln says:
::thinks about those days were these was no problem concerning any member of the crew::

XO_Hart says:
::waits for someone to escort her::

Cpt_McD says:
::looks at everyone with an obviously forced glance of hope, and then enters the vast room::

CmdrRomel says:
::steps inside as soon as the doors open, heading to his desk at the front::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
<Baliff> All: All rise....for Judge Advocate Admiral DHeth

CmdrRomel says:
::remains standing::

Cpt_McD says:
::rises, thinks about a wierd variation of the Admiral's name, gives a quick smirk, and then returns to a professional appearance::

CTOGuilln says:
::stands, looking the floor::

CMO_Moore says:
@::looks out into sickbay, sees his staff working effeciently::::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
::walks in and sits in the Judge Chair::

XO_Hart says:
::is escorted to 'the dock'::

CmdrRomel says:
::thinks:  hope this moves quicker than the trial at Starbase 15 with those bloody "Storm" conspirators::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
<Baliff> All: Be seated

CmdrRomel says:
::sits::

XO_Hart says:
::sits::

CTOGuilln says:
::sits::

Cpt_McD says:
::takes a seat...queasy feeling gone, now resolute with a stern defense::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
All: Lt Commander Hart...please rise

CmdrRomel says:
::sits and leans back in his chair; comfortable and at ease with the setting::

XO_Hart says:
::stands::

XO_Hart says:
::no expression whatsoever on her face::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
Hart: You are here to answer the charge of disobeying orders from a direct superior....namely Starfleet Intelligence and Starfleet Medical....How do you plead?

XO_Hart says:
D'Heth:: Guilty - but I plead extenuating circumstances

Host Adm_DHeth says:
Hart: I see...::makes notes::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
Hart: Please sit

XO_Hart says:
::sits::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
Romel: Please make your opening statements

CmdrRomel says:
::stands and adjusts his tunic::  Thank you Your Honor......

XO_Hart says:
::still absolutely without any expression on her face::

CmdrRomel says:
On Stardate  9805.04 to 9805.11  the USS Scimitar encountered a temporal anomaly.

XO_Hart says:
::waits for whatever is going to happen to happen::

DrHolland says:
:: Tries not to fall asleep in the slow court proceedings::

CmdrRomel says:
Temporal Investigations sent an agent to determine the nature and danger that the Anomaly had on the crew and the mysterious "duplicates" it had created.

XO_Hart says:
::remembers her double::

CTOGuilln says:
::remembers how nice was Terron...and how good was when he dissapeared::

CmdrRomel says:
It was deemed, by the Agent on the scene and by Medical staff present at the time, that a neural monitoring device be implanted in the Captain.

DrHolland says:
:: snaps to attention hearing this::

XO_Hart says:
::listening very attentively::

CmdrRomel says:
The device was fitted; and when the Executive Officer, LtCmdr Hart, found out, she ordered the device removed.  She did this, knowing fullwell that Temporal Investigations, Starfleet Intelligence and Starfleet Medical all had placed orders that the device be implanted.

CTOGuilln says:
::remebers that in that moment there was no doctor in SB, would have to check savings of the internal sensors::

CmdrRomel says:
Therefore.....there is a clear evidence that LtCmdr Hart violated direct and standing orders from two key divisions in Starfleet Command......::turns and sits::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
::looks impassively at the court room::

XO_Hart says:
::looks straight at the Admirals ... waits::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
McDowell: Please make your opening statments

Cpt_McD says:
::stands up, stern-faced:: Your Honor, Ladies and Gentlemen...

Cpt_McD says:
Might it very well be known I was the officer who's mental health was in question here.

CMO_Moore says:
@::decides to go for a walk::

Cpt_McD says:
And may it also be noted that only after careful consideration was it ever reported that I had a mental disability.

Host Adm_DHeth says:
::nods::

CmdrRomel says:
::makes a note of that::

Cpt_McD says:
First off, may I bring to mind that the Lead Investigator for TI was NOT AN INVESTIGATOR AT ALL! We don't know what he was, as he vanished with my "double" as quickly as he came aboard.

Cpt_McD says:
Science departments, sensor scans, everything can prove that.

Host Adm_DHeth says:
McD: I have read the reports and the scans

Cpt_McD says:
Next off, Starfleet Intelligence & Medical are the ones woh should be prosecuted here. They blantantly followed a suggestion, not an order mind you, a suggestion to have something that they didn't know a damn about be fitted on me.

Cpt_McD says:
Never, NEVER, did they seek the conferrance of the Scimitar's Medical staff, who, by regulation 126.18B, is the final word on any exterior medical investigations.

CmdrRomel says:
::makes sure he has his evidence ready::

Cpt_McD says:
Temporal Investigations had the device implanted onto me, which further was concluded created more damage, if it was helpful at all.

Cpt_McD says:
Command Hart was doing what any loyal Starfleet Officer would do. And may I emphasize LOYAL. She was saving the life of her Commanding Officer.

XO_Hart says:
::amazed at just how forceful her CO can be::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
::raises eyebrow at the unnecessary emotion of the human::

Cpt_McD says:
So, in final conclusion before the evidence starts flinging, may I remind everyone here that the only authority that Starfleet Medical had on the Scimitar was a PADD. A simple PADD with a implantation suggestion for the Medical Staff.

CTOGuilln says:
::thinks that the captain would be a good lawyer if he ever  lefts SF::

DrHolland says:
:: Makes a note on that ::

Cpt_McD says:
If we have come to the point to override the more-knowledgeable medical staff of a starship to take on a procedure as life-threatening as what it's supposed to "cure", then let me, the Chain-of-Command, and all of Starfleet BE DAMNED!

Cpt_McD says:
::"calmly" takes his seat again, still rock-jawed::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
Romel: Please call your first witness.....

CmdrRomel says:
The prosecution calls Ensign Moore:  Chief Medical Officer, USS Titan.

Host Adm_DHeth says:
ACTION: The VIDLINK on the wall activates

CMO_Moore says:
@::glances up startled::

Cpt_McD says:
::nods to Moore over the link...nice to see him again::

CMO_Moore says:
@::stands up::

CMO_Moore says:
@::looks at Hart, discreet smile::

CmdrRomel says:
Ensign Moore...thank you for...being here.  Now, up until your transfer to the USS Titan, you served in the USS Scimitar medical staff....correct?

XO_Hart says:
::does not even look up::

CMO_Moore says:
@Romel: yes

CmdrRomel says:
::stands, after making that initial statement::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
::has turned to look at the vid screen::

CmdrRomel says:
Moore:  And during your tenure under Captain McDowell, did he ever, at any time, show his now diagnosed mental instability?

Host Adm_DHeth says:
<Baliff> ::thinks the Scimtar crew look dodgy::

Cpt_McD says:
::McD's whole face has almost completely changed. It's more...Stone-cold...resolute...more command-like::

CmdrRomel says:
::holding PADD in hand, incase the the CMO of the Titan has a memory lapse::

CMO_Moore says:
@Romel: When I arrived on the ship the very first day I had to sedate the captain and put him behind a forcefield you will have to ask CMO Holland

CmdrRomel says:
Moore:  Why did you have to sedate him Ensign?

CMO_Moore says:
@Romel: Because he was beamed to Sickbay against his will

CmdrRomel says:
Moore:  That doesn't sound like a normal occurance.....what was the reason for him being beamed to sickbay.

CmdrRomel says:
?

CMO_Moore says:
@Romel: I do not know why sir

Cpt_McD says:
::looks up...wants to interject but sits professionally::

CmdrRomel says:
Moore:  You don't know why?  You mean you sedate every poor tom, dick and harry who get beamed into sickbay........cushy job being a Medical officer...

Cpt_McD says:
OBJECTION!

Host Adm_DHeth says:
::raises eyebrow::

CmdrRomel says:
Withdrawn....

CMO_Moore says:
@Romel: I was ordered to by the CMO, my superior I know my job and I do it well ::trying to control his anger::

CmdrRomel says:
Moore:  What was his medical condition upon being beamed, against his will, into sickbay?

CMO_Moore says:
@Romel: He was delirious amd emotional

CmdrRomel says:
Moore:  sounds like a job for the ships counselor then..........

CMO_Moore says:
@Romel: After I studied his medfile I found that this seemed to be a reoccurance of his Jacobson's disease

Cpt_McD says:
::wants to object again...::

CmdrRomel says:
Moore:  One more thing Ensign......:;checks his padd::  Was the Captain ever admitted to sickbay after some sort of....self-inflicted wounds.

CmdrRomel says:
Moore:  More specifically.....two broken legs?

CMO_Moore says:
@Romel: It did not appear in his medfile NO I will remind you I was only on the ship a very short time

CmdrRomel says:
Moore:  thank you....no more questions for this witness.......::sits down::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
McDowell: Your witness

XO_Hart says:
::wonders just what that was supposed to prove::

CMO_Moore says:
@::annoyed pointless questions::

Cpt_McD says:
::stands up, calm again:: Moore: Nice to see you again.

CMO_Moore says:
@Capt: You as well Captain ::smiles::

Cpt_McD says:
Moore: First off...Isn't it true that my two broken legs were corrected, along with the doubles, when the ship went back through the anomaly?

CMO_Moore says:
@CO: I do no Know I was only transferred to the ship the same day the TI investigation began

Cpt_McD says:
Moore: Okay then, not your fault. I'll come back to that on a later witness.

CMO_Moore says:
@CO: Ok

Cpt_McD says:
Moore: Second thing, when I was beamed into Sickbay, did you notice any mental degredation at that time, or could it, in your opinion, have been a simple case of pain that a human usually reacts violently to?

CmdrRomel says:
Objection:  speculation

Host Adm_DHeth says:
All; Objection denied

CmdrRomel says:
Everyone reacts differently to pain Your Honor.....the defense is asking the witness to attest to an entire races reaction to a sensation

CMO_Moore says:
@CO: It could very well have been both and I did not know what to think at that time but after further review of your medfile it seemed to be in coherence with your disease

Host Adm_DHeth says:
The witness statement will be stricken

CmdrRomel says:
::sits back down after the objection::

XO_Hart says:
::still sitting totally without expression listening::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
Moore: Please answer the question concisely

CmdrRomel says:
::feels for the XO, being put into such a pickle.....but, that doesnt excuse the matter::

CMO_Moore says:
@CO: It may have been either but I beleive it was the former

Cpt_McD says:
ALL: Finally, might I ask that it's possible Cmdr Hart had me beamed to Sickbay as a precaution? I may have objected because it was simple pain, but she was looking out for her ship, true?

CmdrRomel says:
Objection:  speculation

Host Adm_DHeth says:
Objection sustained

CmdrRomel says:
Dr Moore could not possibly know why LtMdr Hart was thinking

CmdrRomel says:
::sits again::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
Comment Striken

Cpt_McD says:
::nearly pipes up again, but takes a note to make more objections next time:: No more questions.

Host Adm_DHeth says:
Moore: Thank you for your participation....You may step down

Host Adm_DHeth says:
Romel: next witness

CmdrRomel says:
The prosecution calls Lt. Cmdr Hart, XO of the Scimitar

CMO_Moore says:
@::sits down annoyed at a waste of his time::

XO_Hart says:
::stands::

Cpt_McD says:
::nearly explodes at this, but all everyone sees is a jaw-dropping:

Host Adm_DHeth says:
::raises eyebrow::

XO_Hart says:
::wonders how she can be a prosecution witness at her own trial::

DrHolland says:
:: looks up at the captain::

Cpt_McD says:
Objection your honor!

Host Adm_DHeth says:
Objection denied

Host Adm_DHeth says:
The Witness will take the stand

XO_Hart says:
::walks over to the stand::

CMO_Moore says:
@::surprised at this, tries to get Hart to lookj at him::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
Hart: Please state your name and rank for the record

Cpt_McD says:
::sits down, looks over at Rommel's smug expression...wants to slap him across the face right now::

XO_Hart says:
DHeth:: Naomi Hart, Lt Cmdr, Executive Officer USS Scimitar Sir

CmdrRomel says:
::picks up the padd again, keying something::

Host Adm_DHeth says:
