ENG_Mav says:
Madison: Very Well. Continue.
Host CO_Merain says:
<Security Officers x 2>  Love: We are to escort you to the Hearing Room.
XO_Love says:
SO: Just me, or all of us..
Tac_Right says:
Captain: Should I begin runing Level one diagnostics on the security systems?
Host CO_Merain says:
<SO x2> All of you.
FCOWalter says:
::stands, and walks to the door::
XO_Love says:
::turns to all..:  we crew, this it it..
EngMadiso says:
Mav:  The tcatical systems are all online, just propulsion and transporters and replicators are still offline.
XO_Love says:
CO: After you Sir..
Host COBradley says:
::stands slowly and walks over to the doorway, glaring at the security guards::
Dr_Snow says:

ENG_Mav says:
Madison: Yes. Star immediately.
EngMadiso says:
Mav:  afirmative.
FCOWalter says:

TAC_Mizzi says:
::following the procession::
EngMadiso says:
Mav:  A Level 1 sir?  That will take 5 hours at our reduced capacity.

ENG_Mav says:
Madison: Yes, a level 1. Begin immediately, Ensign.
Host COBradley says:

Host CO_Merain says:
<SOx2> ::Enters the Hearing Room, where three Admirals, One Captain, and One CSO are present::
EngMadiso says:
*Engineering crew*  Let's start a level 1 diagnostic, take all tactical systems offline.
XO_Love says:
::walking quietly, wondering why we are taking the long route..::
TAC_Mizzi says:
::wondering if Bradley may actually strike out against one of the guards::
ENG_Mav says:
Madison: All systems should undergo a Level 1 diagnostic while we're here. Every single one.
TAC_Mizzi says:
::begins playing through a vast mutiny scenario in my mind::
ENG_Mav says:
Madison: Sounds like one heck of a trial if we're doing that, eh?
EngMadiso says:
Mav:  Aye, sir.
Tac_Right says:
::wonders if Mav is listening to me::
Host COBradley says:
@::enters the room, still glaring, but turns it upon the seated figures::
ENG_Mav says:
Right: It's already been started. You now have control of that.
Host CO_Merain says:
@<Admiral Talbert> All: Please take a seat.
TAC_Mizzi says:
::remembers that Bradley is a captain of remarkable restraint....  throws the mutiny scenarios out the proverbial window::
ENG_Mav says:
Madison: Work on the other diagnostics. Ensign Right will handle the security/tactical one.
Dr_Snow says:
::takes seat between Love and Mizzi::
TAC_Mizzi says:
@::looks at Talbert.....  grimfaced as always...  ::
EngMadiso says:
*Engineering crew*  Take the propulsion, transporter, shuttlebay, replicator, phaser, torpedo, shields, and computer systems offline.  Leave life support on a while longer.
TAC_Mizzi says:
@::takes his seat::
Host COBradley says:
@::watches his crew be seated and is the last to sit, still shooting daggers at the "board"::
XO_Love says:

Tac_Right says:
::starts the diagnostics on the shields::
Host CO_Merain says:
@<Admiral Wallen> ::When everyone is seated:: All: No we know why we are hear, so Captain Merain, proceed.
FCOWalter says:
@::tries to keep from fidgeting::
Tac_Right says:
::what an exciting mission::
Host CO_Merain says:
@ Wallen: Yessir.  ::Stands and moves to the wall console::
Tac_Right says:
::feels the tenseness of the executive officers::
Host COBradley says:
@::fold arms in a defiant manner::
TAC_Mizzi says:
@::focuses on the talk::
Host COBradley says:
@::barely keeping the rage from showing on his face::
TAC_Mizzi says:
@::wonders if Bradley actually may crack::
Host CO_Merain says:
@ All: On Stardate 9803.09 the USS Griffon entered a dimensional pocket through a dimensional portal to answer a distress call.
Dr_Snow says:
@::watching Captian Bradley::
TAC_Mizzi says:
@::having just been assigned to Bradley...  doesn't know if he would support him as readily as the other crew members::
EngMadiso says:
*Engineering crew*  Take the life support systems offline.  Shut everything execpt for remote technology down.  Use the starbase computers for the diagnostic material.
Host CO_Merain says:
@ All: According to the ship's logs, the Griffon rendered aid to a disabled craft and its occupants.  It was also attacked unprovoked.
TAC_Mizzi says:
@::is reminded of Dr. Neidl's conduct in regards to the injured aliens::
XO_Love says:
@::thinking , So far so good..::
FCOWalter says:
@::thinks, that's where the other helm officer died::
EngMadiso says:
Mav:  Sir, we have shut down all systems.  It should take approximately 15 hours to complete all the diagnostics.
Host CO_Merain says:
@ All: After the attacker left, the Griffon towed the disabled ship back into our dimension.  Upon arriving our side of the portal, the Griffon began laying photonic mines, without the authorization of Starfleet Command with in the Lipinson Nebula.
ENG_Mav says:
Madison: Oy....
OPS_Lucas says:
good thing for me also, I just got asigned to this ship :)
ENG_Mav says:
Madison: Continue.... Make sure everything goes as planned.
OPS_Lucas says:
oops
Host CO_Merain says:
@All:  The USS Artemis arrived on the scene shortly after the Griffon exited the portal. ::Turns on screen, and displays a visual log taken from the Artemis of the Nebula swirling and flashing::
EngMadiso says:
Mav:  Aye, sir.
EngMadiso says:
::goes to main computer core to do computer diagnostic::
TAC_Mizzi says:
@::sits grimly...  wanting all this talk to be over with::
Dr_Snow says:
@::watching visual::
Host COBradley says:
@::averts eyesfrom screen, knowing what it displays::
FCOWalter says:
@::seeing the display for the first time, since nav sensors were pointed in the other  direction::
Host CO_Merain says:
@All: An unknown ship exited the portal, double the size of a Galaxy class starship, and with the mines in place at the exit of the portal, it was subsequently destroyed, all hands lost.  As it was destroyed, it transmitted a message of peace before being cut off.
Host CO_Merain says:
@All: Following protocol, the Artemis tried to help any survivors, of which there were none.  I personally placed Captain Bradley and his senior staff under arrest pending investigation.
FCOWalter says:
@::feels bad about the loss of all that life::
Host CO_Merain says:
@<Talbert> Merain: Thank you Captain.
Host COBradley says:
@::wonders what Merain has against him::
Host CO_Merain says:
@<Talbert> Bradley: Captain, you may make your opening statement now.
ENG_Mav says:
:: reading over PADD ::
Host COBradley says:
@::Stands, shaking slightly::nods respectfully to everyone::
TAC_Mizzi says:
@::beginning to wonder if he'll be seeing his wife any time soon::
Host CO_Merain says:
@ <Admirals>  ::nods back::
Host COBradley says:
@ALL: as The good Captain has stated, we were on a rescue mission.
FCOWalter says:
@::listens intently to what his Captain has to say::
Host COBradley says:
@ALL: we were in an unknown area of space, and shortly after beginning standard rescue operations...
Tac_Right says:
::checks the progress of the diagnostics::Madison:the diagnostics are continuing as planned
Host COBradley says:
@ALL: we were attacked by another alien craft of similar design.
TAC_Mizzi says:
@::grumbles something about Neidl and containment fields::
ENG_Mav says:
:: thinks about the crew being court martialled, shakes head ::
EngMadiso says:
Right:  Aye.  The impulse engine diagnostic should be done in 4 hours.
EngMadiso says:
Mav:  Sir, something wrong with the Personality matrix.
Host COBradley says:
@ALL: not once, but twice, we were attacked.  This killed or injured at least three crewmen.
ENG_Mav says:
Madison: Hmm.... What's wrong?
Host COBradley says:
@ALL: Following "protocol" we attempted to communicate, but we never received a response.
Host COBradley says:
@ALL: I decided to tractor the alien vessel and get out of there.  We were dealing with a technology that I wasn't sure we could defend against.
TAC_Mizzi says:
@ ::thinks Neidl should be on trial here for endangering the lives of the crew::
Host COBradley says:
@ALL: As part of a precautionary measure, and to protect the Federation, I ordered a minefield laid down.  These aliens had shown that they were dangerous, if not hostile...
EngMadiso says:
Mav:  Parts of the core have been fused, ruining the data inside.  The data is duplicated partially in the other primary and the secondary cores, but I will have to replace this section of the core.
Host COBradley says:
@ALL: ...and they could open and close these portals at will.  I didn't think the Federation was in any shape to fight another war.
Host COBradley says:
@ALL: When we began to get readings of a large unknown vessel attempting to enter Federation Space, I ordered the minefield intenseified.
ENG_Mav says:
Madison: Hmm... I wish I could investigate that, but I can't. Go down there and check it out. Once you've figured out what happened and how, tell me. If you need any help, I'm sure Rightmire could help you, if he's not busy...
Host COBradley says:
@ALL: we have all witnessed what happened after that...
Host CO_Merain says:
@<Wallen> Bradley: Thank you Captain.
Dr_Snow says:
@::the tension comming from Mizzi is overwhelming.......truns to look at him and notices that he seems fuming about something .......and not focusing on what Bradley is saying::
FCOWalter says:
::thinks: I just want to get back behind the helm of the Griffon::
Host COBradley says:
@ALL:>>>I maintain that that large vessel was on a mission of ...::Glares at Wallen for cutting him off::
Tac_Right says:
Madison: I would be happy to assist
Host COBradley says:
@::sits down slowly never taking eyes off Wallen::
TAC_Mizzi says:
@::feels a set of eyes on him....  begins to scan the room with his steel-eyed visage::
Host CO_Merain says:
@<Gevek> ::Question Period starting::  Merain: Captain, how many lifesigns were aboard that ship? ::Gesturing to the paused image of the Huge ship as it emerged::
EngMadiso says:
::begins working on computer core, with Right's help, removes isolinear chips and replaces them with new ones.
Host CO_Merain says:
@::Turns to his Science Officer::
ENG_Mav says:
:: bites lip... What could have fused it? According to the diagnostic, a phaser... but who fired? ::
Host CO_Merain says:
@<Radicki> Gevek: There were approximately 2300 lifesigns that registered before it was destroyed.
Host COBradley says:
@::nudges Love::
Tac_Right says:
::hands Madison the new isolinear chips::
XO_Love says:
::looks at Bradley..::
ENG_Mav says:
*Madison*Try to figure out where the person was standing when the shot at the core with the phaser.
EngMadiso says:
*Mav*  Luckily only about .5 cubic meters of the core is damaged, should take about 30 minutes to repair the chips, 2 hours to repair the damage to the core itself, and 10 more minutes to transfer data.
Host CO_Merain says:
@ <Talbert> Bradley: Captain, what led you to believe that this ship::gestures at the HUGE one:: was under the command of the same people who attacked you?  It seems to me that this ship and that smaller one that attacked you have very few similarities.
TAC_Mizzi says:
@::doesn't register that one of his own crewmates is scrutinizing him....  begins focusing on the talking once again::
FCOWalter says:
@::nervous, because the future doesn't look too bright::
EngMadiso says:
*Mav* Aye, sir.
ENG_Mav says:
*Madison*Good. Continue.
XO_Love says:
@:: Receiving mental thoughts from Bradley...unclear, something about computer core...Griffon..::
EngMadiso says:
::begins computing trajectory of phaser beam using trig:: thinks: this could take awhile.
Host COBradley says:
@Talbert::Glaring::Unfortunately, Sir, I have not had a proper amount of time to prepare a defense.
EngMadiso says:
Right:  continue replacing isolinear chips.
Host CO_Merain says:
@<Talbert> Bradley: This isn't a trial, merely an informal hearing.
FCOWalter says:
::wishes he could speak::
Tac_Right says:
MadisonMadison: With my previous experience in phasers it appears that the shot was fired from the left aproximately 10 meters away
Host COBradley says:
@Talbert: I understand that.::Holding back anger:: However, Captain Merain, here has a very nice presentation And My crew and I have nothing.
Host CO_Merain says:
@ <Talbert>  Bradley:  Nothing... you were present at the incident were you not?
EngMadiso says:
Right:  Yes, but I need the height as well, so you can track down who did it.  Also I need the setting it was set on.
Dr_Snow says:
@:: thinking Talbert can "call" it what he likes::
Host COBradley says:
@::Glaring at Talbert as if to say that was a stupid question::Yes, of course.  But all I have is my recolection.
Tac_Right says:
Madison:Aye, sir I'll continue to replace the chips
Host CO_Merain says:
@ <Talbert> Bradley: That's what I'm asking about.  Why did you think this <HUGE> ship was of the same origin as the one that attacked you?
TAC_Mizzi says:
@ ::gripping seat...  forcing himself to stay seated::
Host COBradley says:
@Talbert: All I can say, without any hard data to back me up, is that it was a hunch.  A feeling I got from the thing.  The same feeling I got from the vessel that attacked us.  Sir.
FCOWalter says:
@::anxiety getting the better of him, he can barely stay seated::
Tac_Right says:
Madison: From the resulting fusion it appers that the phaser was on a setting of 5
Host CO_Merain says:
@<Talbert> Bradley:  Thank you.
ENG_Mav says:
:: thinks "Oh god... If they don't get through this court martiall intact, I be sure to play games with starfleet... I can picture it now "Sir! There's so much static!
ENG_Mav says:
::
Host COBradley says:
@::Sits back down::
Host CO_Merain says:
@ <Gevek> Snow: Dr Snow, you treated the crew of the disabled ship correct?
Host COBradley says:
@::begins to concentrate on the previous thought to Love::
Tac_Right says:
Madison: a setting of nine
Dr_Snow says:
@:::Stands:: Grevek: Yes I did.
Host CO_Merain says:
@ <Gevek> Snow: From what were they suffering?
Dr_Snow says:
@Grevek: Oxygen depraviation sir.
Host CO_Merain says:
@<Gevek> Snow: So their ship's life support was damaged?
EngMadiso says:
::thinks:  OK, Level 6 shot, was probably a type 2 phaser, but could be a type 1::
Dr_Snow says:
@Grevek: From what I understand their life support was damaged to the point of being unrepairable.
Host COBradley says:
@::still concentrateing on thoughts to Love and adding a new one::
Host CO_Merain says:
@<Gevek> Snow: Thank you.
Dr_Snow says:
@::nods to Grevek and sits::
XO_Love says:
@::Getting thoughts again from Bradley, but can't make them out clearly...it has been to long since last used..::
Host CO_Merain says:
@ <Wallen> Mizzi:  Lieutenant Mizzi, as I understand it, Mines are not standard weapons complement of the Griffon?  Where did these mines come from?
Tac_Right says:
Madison::but if it wa a type one phaser then the shot would have been on a setting of 6
Host COBradley says:
@::gripping seat arms tightly and concentrateing::
TAC_Mizzi says:
@ ::stands up....  apparently shaken from his thoughts::
TAC_Mizzi says:
@ ::looks at Wallen eyes not backing down::
TAC_Mizzi says:
@ Wallen:  The mines, being converted photon torpedoes, were already present before i was even assigned to the Griffon.
Host CO_Merain says:
@<Wallen> Mizzi: Ah.. thank you. ::Makes note on a padd::
TAC_Mizzi says:
@Wallen:  We had the chance to defend against a possible incursion and we took the opportunity.
TAC_Mizzi says:
@ Wallen:  I would like to note something about Dr. Neidl however.....
Host CO_Merain says:
@<Wallen> Mizzi: That will be all, thank you Lieutenant...
XO_Love says:
@::Breaks the atempted link with Bradley..::
TAC_Mizzi says:
@ ::stops in mid-sentence....  eyes narrow::
Host CO_Merain says:
@<Wallen> Mizzi: Be seated..
Dr_Snow says:
@:: watching this discussion with great interest::
TAC_Mizzi says:
@ ::takes his seat::
Dr_Snow says:
@::looking at Mizzi....wondering what he wanted to say so badly::
TAC_Mizzi says:
@ ::keeps eyes on Wallen::
Host COBradley says:
@::Relaxes as the concentration stops, but is still angry with the whole word::
Host CO_Merain says:
@<Talbert> All: We will take a two hour recess to allow Captain Bradley to prepare his evidence.  All Griffon crew is  to remain on the Griffon until we reconvene.  ::uses Gavel::
EngMadiso says:
*Mav*  Sir the chips have been replaced.  Another hour should do it for the core.
ENG_Mav says:
*Madison*Good job, Ensign. To Rightmire, too. And did you figure how far from the core Miz... the phaseree was standing?
TAC_Mizzi says:
@ ::stands and immediately about-faces for the door to leave::
Host COBradley says:
@::turns to Love::Meet me in the Lower Observation Lounge at 1500 tomorrow.
Host CO_Merain says:
@<Talbert> All: The Officers outside will take you back to the Griffon... Dismissed.
XO_Love says:
@::Nods To Bradley.::
Host CO_Merain says:
@<SOx2> ::ready to take crew back::
EngMadiso says:
*Mav*  Yessir, about 10 meters, right underneath the system monitor on the next level.
Tac_Right says:
*Mav*Approximately ten meters away
Dr_Snow says:
@::stands and walks out with the rest::
Host COBradley says:
@::stands and leads crew out.  Glaring at the "board all the way out::
FCOWalter says:
::stands and walks out::
ENG_Mav says:
*Madison*Very good. Finish it up and then head back.
XO_Love says:
@::Leaving with all..::
Host CO_Merain says:
@<SOx2> ::Escorts Griffon Senior Staff back to the ship::
ENG_Mav says:
*Right*Same to you.
TAC_Mizzi says:
@::at the rear of the procession::
EngMadiso says:
*Mav*  If I were to guess, they popped out of the hatch, fired, and went back in.
ENG_Mav says:
*Madison*Umm... Maybe.
