Host Capt_Madred says:
Star Trek: Apache – Episode #4
Week # 16
Mission: "Crime and Punishment"

Host Capt_Madred says:
The mission to investigate the Nicodemous System was given to the USS Apache. They had investigated the system, and retrieved valuable data, from a computer, on the fifth planet, of the system. The data was used during a brief battle with an, until now, unknown alien race.

Host Capt_Madred says:
If it had not been for the data found by the Apache, many more lives would have been lost.  The Apache has returned to Starbase 366 for repairs to its Main Engineering section. The investigation of the incident, which caused the damages, has come to a close, and a sentence will come to pass.

Host Capt_Madred says:
Captain Madred, the Sector Commander, will head the sentencing of the officer found guilty. A more detailed report will follow after a sentence is passed.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::gives the TO a reassuring glance when she notices his nervousness::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::turns her attention to Admiral Law::

Host Admiral_Law says:
Tactical Officer: Do you have any reason why this court should show mercy to the accused?

TO_Evans says:
All: The only reason I could offer is during his time in the brig he has shown a substantial deal of remorse for his actions.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::considers the question and isn't sure how she would answer it::

Host Admiral_Law says:
I have no further questions, the Chair recognizes CO T’kret

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::watches quietly as Evans returns to his seat and Telik is called::

TO_Evans says:
::nods in appreciation to the CTO::

CSO_Jardyon_Telik says:
All: I only know him as an acquaintance sir. I was in the shuttle that evacuated Mr. Tekaro and myself.

Host Capt_Madred says:
::nods:: CSO: And during that shuttle ride did you and Mister Tekaro discuss anything?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::studies Ens. Tekaro as Lt JG Telik answers Captain Madred's questions::

EO_Tekaro says:
::sees CO glancing, smiles back briefly::

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::Listens to the questions and how they are answered::

Host Admiral_Law says:
::shifts in chair::

CSO_Jardyon_Telik says:
All: Not much sir, I was unconscious for most of the ride and when we did land I had Dr. Quest beamed over to help the wounded crewmen which included Mr. Tekaro. Nothing much was talked about with the Ens.

Host Capt_Madred says:
CSO: And was the Ensign conscious during the trip?

FCO_Turnbull says:
::watches Tekaro's reactions::

CSO_Jardyon_Telik says:
All: Seeing that I was unconscious during the trip I cannot answer that question with full assuredness, but my understanding is yes.

EO_Tekaro says:
::finally relaxes in chair, knows fate is sealed...::

Host Capt_Madred says:
Admiral: Your witness Admiral... ::takes his seat and records a few notes on his PADD::

CSO_Jardyon_Telik says:
All: he was conscious

Host Admiral_Law says:
CSO: Do you feel the accused was justified in his actions?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::looks at Lt JG Telik as he answers::

CSO_Jardyon_Telik says:
::looks solemnly toward Tekaro:: All: No, sir I do not.

CSO_Jardyon_Telik says:
All: I saw the damage caused by the incident.

CSO_Jardyon_Telik says:
ALL: That is the reason I was unconscious during the evacuation because a panel blew out in ME while I was there trying to help stabilize the warp core.

FCO_Turnbull says:
::thinks that is a good question::

Host Admiral_Law says:
CSO: Do you feel he should be shown mercy?

EO_Tekaro says:
::puts head down, continues to listen::

CEO_Toros says:
:: fumbles with his thumbs and reclines a bit in the seat ::

CEO_Toros says:
:: nudges Vin ::

Host Capt_Madred says:
::looks at Tekaro and frowns as he rests his head on the table::

EO_Tekaro says:
::looks up at CEO and gives a nervous grin::

CEO_Toros says:

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::Squints eyes and watches the reactions::

CTO_Lu says:
::Shakes his head::

EO_Tekaro says:
::sits back, reclines in seat::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods at LtJG Toros as he talks to Tekaro::

CSO_Jardyon_Telik says:
All: Sir, I do not agree with Mr. Tekaro's actions but I am a firm believer in second chances.

CSO_Jardyon_Telik says:
ALL: one of my previous host had a similar experience.

SO_Storal says:
::thinks and he got mad at me for not answering the hail::

CEO_Toros says:
:: nods back dismally to the Captain looking to the table then to the CSO ::

Host Admiral_Law says:
All: The chair recognizes Capt T'kret

FCO_Turnbull says:
::nods at CSO's answer and files some mental notes for his own deposition::

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::Looks at the CSO: CSO: what is your overall opinion of Mr. Tekaro?

CSO_Jardyon_Telik says:
All: Unfortunately he was not shown mercy at the time and lost everything he had.

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::looks sternly at the CSO::

Host Admiral_Law says:
CSO: The witness will confine his answers to the question

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::gives the CSO a firm glance ... hoping he will answer the questions without rambling::

FCO_Turnbull says:
::raises eyebrow at CSO::

CSO_Jardyon_Telik says:
All: I feel he is a new young officer fresh out of the academy as most of us here are and when thrown into a tense and potentially dangerous situation he made a poor decision.

Host Capt_Madred says:
::looks at the Chief Science Officer and wonders what he is talking about::

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::Looks at the science officer:: and Mr . Telik...CSO: if given mercy, do you feel that Mr. Tekaro would learn from this incident? 

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::notices S'Toran's raised eyebrow and tries to hide a smile::

CSO_Jardyon_Telik says:
All: I feel he is a good officer and given a second chance he would turn out to be a good officer.

Host Capt_T`kret says:
CSO: is that your overall opinion of him as an officer?

CSO_Jardyon_Telik says:
All: Yes sir. It is.

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::nods and makes some notes::: 

CTO_Lu says:
::looks at the CSO::

MO_Naegle says:
::Rises::

CSO_Jardyon_Telik says:
::moves back to his seat and sits::

CEO_Toros says:
:: looks to the Doctor tilting his head ::

XO_Valrek says:
::takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly::

Host Admiral_Law says:
All: Witnesses will confine their answers to the questions or the Court will exercise its contempt powers

Host Capt_Madred says:
::regards Lt Naegle coolly:: MO: Lieutenant Naegle, on the day in question what was your involvement with Ensign Tekaro?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
~~~~ FCO: I agree with you S'Toran, yet it reminded me of this morning. ~~~~ ::watches Lt JG Naegle as she comes forward::

MO_Naegle says:
All: Sir, I treated Ensign Tekaro on the planet, once we abandoned ship.

Host Capt_Madred says:
::nods:: MO: And while treating Ensign Tekaro, did the two of your discuss his actions in Main Engineering?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::listens to Janet as she answers the questions::

CTO_Lu says:
::thinks to himself::

FCO_Turnbull says:
::pays careful attention to every word of testimony::

EO_Tekaro says:
::feels better about the MO's possible answers::

CTO_Lu says:
::wonders if the MO will break the patient doctor confidentiality::

MO_Naegle says:
All: Sir, not on the planet.  Once we were back on board Apache, Ensign Tekaro fully regained consciousness and began to talk

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::listens carefully::

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::Listens carefully::

CEO_Toros says:
:: glances at the EO raising his head and straightening himself ::

Host Capt_Madred says:
::nods at her and leans on the table:: MO: And did you take Ensign Tekaro's comments to your superior officer ... Chief Medical Officer Lieutenant Junior Grade Jerni Quest?

XO_Valrek says:
::sits still in his seat and listens without changing his gaze::

SO_Storal says:
Self: I don’t know why I’m even here. I don’t know the Ens.  Don’t even work with him. But I'll give whatever insight I can

EO_Tekaro says:
::preparing what to say in case called to the stand::

CSO_Jardyon_Telik says:
::finally relaxes a bit and realizes how his talkative nature could have gotten him into serious trouble::

MO_Naegle says:
All: She was there as well.  She was the primary attending physician.  In fact, sir, she is the one he was talking to.

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::raises an eyebrow::

Host Capt_Madred says:
::nods:: MO: Of course, Doctor Naegle ... ADM: Admiral, your witness ....

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::watches the expression on everyone’s face.::

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::checks something on the PADD::"

FCO_Turnbull says:
::notes that detail::

CEO_Toros says:
:: would have a goofy look on his face if he wasn't where he was ::

Host Admiral_Law says:
Captain: Thank you. MO: you are aware that the Doctor/Patient confidentiality privilege only extends to information regarding treatment?

MO_Naegle says:
All:  Yes, sir, I am aware of that.

EO_Tekaro says:
::thinks about girlfriend back on New Seattle, and how much he'd rather be there right now::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::watches Janet's reaction and listens to he answers::

Host Admiral_Law says:
MO: Please tell the court if you believe mercy should be shown and why

FCO_Turnbull says:
::waits for the answer::

Jaxlt_Burta says:
::sings while he busses tables in his deep bass voice::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::looks from Ens. Tekaro to Lt JG Naegle::

MO_Naegle says:
All: I do believe mercy should be shown.  Ensign Tekaro was very remorseful in Sickbay.  He knows he made a terrible mistake.  I believe Ensign Tekaro would make a fine Starfleet Officer if given a second chance.  I believe he has learned from his mistakes.

FCO_Turnbull says:
::nods at what he thinks is a good answer::

Host Admiral_Law says:
MO: Thank you; the Chair recognizes Capt T’kret

EO_Tekaro says:
::smiles at MO broadly::

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::Nods to the admiral:: MO: I have no questions for this witness 

Host Capt_Madred says:
::notes the Ensign's joking attitude and jots a few things down on his PADD::

XO_Valrek says:
::wonders if the EO knows how serious this is for him::

Host Capt_T`kret says:

Host Admiral_Law says:
All: The chair recognizes Capt Madred

Host Capt_Madred says:
::stands:: MO: Naegle, please be seated.  Science Officer Lieutenant Junior Grade Storal Kylorean, please rise.

MO_Naegle says:
::steps down and makes room for Storal::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::glances at Captain Madred, then back to Ens. Tekaro::

CEO_Toros says:
:: looks to the EO sternly glancing back to him every so often ::

SO_Storal says:
::Stands:: All: Sir

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::watches and listens closely::

Host Capt_Madred says:
::nods at the SO and glances at PADD in hand ... Storal's SF Profile:: SO: Mister Storal, I see here that you came on board with Mister Tekaro?

SO_Storal says:
All: Yes sir that is correct

Host Capt_Madred says:
SO: And during that your time en route to the Apache, I would imagine you two had an opportunity to get to know each other.  Can you describe Mister Tekaro's attitude towards duty?

Host Admiral_Law says:
::listens intently while looking up statutory minimums and maximums for the offenses::

SO_Storal says:
All: Unfortunately no sir, we didn’t talk. But from what I could tell of the Ens. he seemed like an officer that was dedicated to duty.

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::Looks over at Tekaro not impressed with his demeanor:

EO_Tekaro says:
::looks at Capt. T'kret and wonders what he is frowning about::

Host Capt_Madred says:
SO: I see ... so would you describe Ensign Tekaro as someone who keeps to himself based on the fact that the two of you shared a ride of several thousand light years without passing so much as a hello?

SO_Storal says:
All: No not at all, i usually keep to myself. But we did exchange greetings but that was about it.

Host Capt_Madred says:
::nods and jots a few things down on his PADD: Adm: Your witness, Admiral ....

EO_Tekaro says:
::grabs chair handles and prepares to get up::

CEO_Toros says:
:: looks to the EO wondering what is going through his mind ::

Host Admiral_Law says:
SO: Do you believe the accused acted out of malice or negligence?

FCO_Turnbull says:
::thinks EO Tekaro could comport himself a bit more contritely::

SO_Storal says:
All: Malice no, negligence yes.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::hears the question and turns her attention to Storal::

Host Admiral_Law says:
::nods thoughtfully:: SO: if you could pass sentence what would you recommend?

EO_Tekaro says:
::sees multiple frowns directed at him, and relaxes back in the chair::

CEO_Toros says:
::quietly whispers to Vin:: EO: Don't hinder yourself anymore then done already.

XO_Valrek says:
::thinks that an odd question, but listens for the answer::

FCO_Turnbull says:
::leans forward, interested in the forthcoming answer::

EO_Tekaro says:
::whispers back:: CEO: tell me, what am I doing?

SO_Storal says:
All: A definite suspension, and a removal from any sensitive systems on board the ship sir.

MO_Naegle says:
::waits for the answer::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::hopes Toros will be able to calm Vin down::

Host Admiral_Law says:
All: The Chair recognizes Captain T’kret

Host Capt_Madred says:
::notes Tekaro is next on his order of testimony::

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::Nods to the Admiral:: SO: given the facts as you know them... what is your over all opinion of the actions of the EO .  

CEO_Toros says:
:: looks back listening to the answer to the question :: EO: you're making the higher ups mad, and that doesn't include me, just sit still and have your poker face on 

EO_Tekaro says:
::nods, and sits back with a stern face::

FCO_Turnbull says:
~~~~CO:  Do you think it's the strain getting to our EO?~~~~

CEO_Toros says:
:: looks back to the SO ::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
~~~~ FCO: I'm beginning to wonder ... he seems to be having trouble remaining still~~~

SO_Storal says:
All: I believe that the EO Acted negligently and that used a measure of force that was unwarranted.

CTO_Lu says:
::looks at the EO, ADD maybe??::

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::Nods:: CSO: Thank you CSO ::Looks to the Captain’s and the Admiral, then back to the CSO:: All: I have no further questions

EO_Tekaro says:
Adm Law: Aye Sir.

Host Capt_Madred says:
EO: Ensign, you are aware of the seriousness of the charges leveled against you?  The violations of Starfleet Regulations you have been found guilty of boggle the mind.

EO_Tekaro says:
All: ... Aye...

CSO_Jardyon_Telik says:
::wishes there was something he could do for him without irritating the high up brass::

EO_Tekaro says:

CTO_Lu says:
::looks at the EO and hopes he doesn't dig his own grave::

Host Capt_Madred says:
EO: Ensign, do you feel you acted in a manner befitting a Starfleet Officer?

TO_Evans says:
::Listens very carefully hoping the EO doesn't hang himself::

EO_Tekaro says:
All: For the most part, yes. But I realize It may have been excessive.

Host Capt_T`kret says:
;:Makes a quick note::

Host Capt_Madred says:
::gets slightly red-faced that it MAY have been excessive::

Host Admiral_Law says:
Capt Madred: Just a moment please; EO: You are reminded that you have the right to remain silent anything you say will be held against you, you have the right to have counsel present

Adm: Very well ... EO: Given the opportunity to repeat your actions ... what would you do differently?

CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:

EO_Tekaro says:
All: I would have devised a less hurried way out of the situation. My mistake came from rushing myself and taking a brash course of action.

All: ...and I realize that punishment is very necessary...but I request a second chance to right my career....

CEO_Toros says:
:: sits down and covers his eyes with his hand looking away from the EO :: Self: oh no...

Host Admiral_Law says:
EO: You may make one more statement

FCO_Turnbull says:
~~~~CO:  That remains to be seen.  He hasn’t so far, and he has already been found guilty.  Perhaps a demonstration of remorse on his part will be a good thing.  I do not know, T'H'yla.~~~~

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::makes note he is more remorseful of messing his career than he seems to be of the possible destruction and loss of life he could have caused::

EO_Tekaro says:
All: In the future, I will remember this incident and act with more diligence and thought to my situation. Thank you.

TO_Evans says:
::Thinks the noose is being fitted::

CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::listens to the EO's testimony.::  ~~~~ FCO:  Perhaps...  ~~~~

Host Admiral_Law says:
All: The Chair recognizes Capt T'kret

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::Nods:: 

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::looks sternly at the EO:

Host Capt_T`kret says:
EO: Given your training and experience, had it been someone else on trial here... tell me.. What would your impression be as to their actions?

CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::thinks that is a fair question::

CEO_Toros says:
:: looks to T'kret with remorse and pity for his colleague ::

EO_Tekaro says:
All: I would have realized their obvious fault. But I would take into account their experience and would try to look beyond what they did, to see if there was an ulterior motive...

XO_Valrek says:
::still wonders if the EO realizes completely what he had done::

TO_Evans says:
::Thinks they went from a noose to a firing squad::

FCO_Turnbull says:
::is interested in Tekaro's answer -- was that an attempt at self-validation?::

Host Capt_T`kret says:
EO: Are you saying there was an ulterior motive to your actions/

SO_Storal says:
Self: Oh man

Host Admiral_Law says:
EO: The witness is reminded that silence may not be held against him

EO_Tekaro says:
All: I was in a state of shock and nervousness, and was definitely unprepared. This was what made me make such a horrible decision.

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::watches the EO carefully and waits for an answer;:

FCO_Turnbull says:
::wonders if that was the Admiral's advice::

CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::wonders if Tekaro has any idea how he sounds::

FCO_Turnbull says:
~~~~ CO:  I think we have our work cut out for us, dear.  He’s panicking. ~~~~

CEO_Toros says:
:: looks to the table listening to his EO's testimony ::

Host Admiral_Law says:
::thinks EO should have remained silent and asserted right to counsel::

Host Capt_T`kret says:
EO: Do you think you're training at the academy prepared you fully for your current duties? And that the lack of experience and training may have contributed to your poor judgment?

CTO_Lu says:
::Would hate to be on the EO's Firing squad::

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::watches the EO intently::

CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
~~~~ FCO: It seems so.  That could prove more harmful for his case ~~~~

TO_Evans says:
::Reminds himself to add a brief on Court Martial rights to the tactical department.::

FCO_Turnbull says:
::hopes the EO hasn't dug his own grave::

EO_Tekaro says:
All: The academy can train you what to do, but they don’t account for nervousness or shock.

Host Admiral_Law says:
::steeples his fingers::

Host Capt_T`kret says:
EO: So you’re saying you’re training was adequate to handle the situation at hand, but you were not 

EO_Tekaro says:
All: Yes, I was amply trained, but my mental state was off the wall. I ... had panicked.

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::Nods::

FCO_Turnbull says:
~~~~CO:  Miranda rights have been accepted as a right since the 20th century on Earth.  Was Ensign Tekaro advised of his rights when Capt. Madred took him into custody?~~~~

Host Capt_T`kret says:
Thank you EO.

Host Admiral_Law says:
::looks sideways at Capt T'kret thinking that was an unfair question::

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::Looks back at the admiral::

FCO_Turnbull says:
::thinks the EO handled THAT curveball::

Host Admiral_Law says:
All: The Chair recognizes Captain Madred

Host Capt_Madred says:
EO: Thank you Mister Tekaro ... you may be seated.  ::checks the Chronometer:: Adm: Given the hour, I suggest we recess.  We will hear from the Engineering Officers injured in the blast in the morning, then the Senior Officers in the afternoon.

EO_Tekaro says:
::sits quietly::

XO_Valrek says:
::watches the EO, not changing his expression during the entire hearing::

CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
~~~~ FCO:  I believe everything was handled within protocol. ~~~~

Host Admiral_Law says:
Captain: Yes all rise

Host Capt_T`kret says:
::rises::

FCO_Turnbull says:
~~~~CO:  Very well.~~~~

FCO_Turnbull says:
::rises::

EO_Tekaro says:
::wants to cry, believing that he had made a fool of himself:: ::stands::

XO_Valrek says:
::Stands::

TO_Evans says:
::Shakes his head, thinking the EO just hung himself::

CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
