USS Scorpius - NCC 5006 - 10505.14

"Rock and a Hard Place"

Episode 11: ""Finality"

Previously on the USS Scorpius:

A gunman trying to assassinate Captain Horn was taken into custody...

And although he was apprehended and resides currently in the brig of the Scorpius, the former CTO, Ryan Horn, has been severely injured and removed from active duty.

His Brother has replaced him as Chief Tactical Officer, and joined his wife, the CO.

The CIV was about to interrogate the young man that knocked her over the head to keep her out of action at a critical time.

And the smear campaign against the Scorpius at SFHQ is coming to a head...

FCO_Heath says:
::at flight, monitoring sensors::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::on the bridge::

CIV_Serok says:
:: Starts towards Newcolmb :: Newcolmb:  We shall have a talk now.

CTO_Horn says:
::Now in the interrogation room::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::In his quarters, getting ready to go back to duty.  It’s been hectic, with the twins finally being born and all.  Just before he leaves, he informed his wife of the good news.  He has made arrangements for her mother and grandmother to join them, and help take care of the babies::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Status, Lt.

FCO_Heath says:
CO: All remains calm, Captain.  The Romulans are picking up their delegation and preparing for the celebratory banquet.

Newcolmb says:
CIV:  I have nothing to say to you.  I demand an advocate.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: FCO:  Good.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Leaves his quarters, enters a lift, and orders it to the bridge::

CIV_Serok says:
Newcolmb:  That would be me.  Did you not do your research?

Newcolmb says:
CIV:  No, not you.  I don't want to talk to you.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Feels the lift stop at the bridge,  exits as the doors open:: CO: Welcome back to duty, Ma'am.  I trust you are all healed and back to normal?

CIV_Serok says:
Newcolmb:  Why is that Mister Newcolmb?  Do you have something to hide?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: XO:  I'm fine, T'Lok.  I hear we have two new crew members onboard?  ::grins::

CTO_Horn says:
::Watching the CIV and patiently waiting::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: That we do!  Mother and children are both doing fine.  I have contacted her mother and grandmother.  They will arrive in a few days to assist her, if that is ok with you?

Newcolmb says:
:: is silent ::

FCO_Heath says:
::monitors communications::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Fine with me, Commander.  So what's been happening while I was indisposed?

CIV_Serok says:
:: turns towards the TO and sees the CTO and nods to him ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: From what I can gather, we have apprehended the operative from Section 31.  He is being interrogated by Captain Serok as we speak.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  And the one who took a shot at me?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: He is in the brig as well.  He has much to answer for.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Then I suggest we go get our answers ..

CTO_Horn says:
::Steps forward::

CIV_Serok says:
*CO* Captain, ENS Newcolmb is being....obstinate.  He does not wish to divulge any information.

CTO_Horn says:
Newcolmb: Do you know who I am?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CIV*:  Really ... Is Cmdr Horn there with you?

CIV_Serok says:
*CO*  Aye Captain.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::whispers:: CO: I suggest we authorize a mind meld.

ACTION: The other prisoner in the adjoining cell (the gunman) begins to regain consciousness...

Newcolmb says:
:: shakes his head ::

CTO_Horn says:
Newcolmb: ANSWER ME!! Do you know who I am?

FCO_Heath says:
*Marcholm* Heath to Marcholm, have you completed the diagnostics on the shuttle?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  If you agree, perhaps a mind meld would work.

Newcolmb says:
CTO:  I     do    not.

Marcholm says:
*FCO* Just finishing it now, Ma'am.  I will forward the results ASAP.

CTO_Horn says:
Newcolmb: I am the last person you wanted to see today!!

CIV_Serok says:
*CO*  I would suggest the CTO come into the cell as well.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CIV*:  Agreed.

Newcolmb says:
CTO:  You don't scare me.

FCO_Heath says:
Marcholm: Understood, I'll be watching for it.

CTO_Horn says:
Newcolmb: What do you know about the target you were trying to kill? What do you know about the officer you shot?

Newcolmb says:
CTO:  I shot no one.  I was on this ship.

FCO_Heath says:
::notes how quiet the comms are::

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  I request your presence in this cell Commander.

CTO_Horn says:
Newcolmb: My last name is Horn

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CIV*:  The XO and I will interrogate the one who took a pot-shot at me.

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  We will get the information, but I require your presence.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Ma'am, is that wise?

CIV_Serok says:
*CO*  Aye Captain.

CTO_Horn says:
Newcolmb: You are part of a conspiracy and so you are just as guilty as having fired the phaser!!

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Why, Commander.  He's in the brig.  I don't think he'll be able to hurt me again.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Its not that I worry about him hurting us.  I am more worried about your state of mind through all of this.  Will you be able to keep your composure?

CTO_Horn says:
Newcolmb: You conspired to kill my WIFE!!!

Newcolmb says:
CTO:  Whatever you think Commander.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Don't worry about my state of mind.  It's not the first time I've been shot at and it probably won't be the last.

CTO_Horn says:
Newcolmb: That is my brother lying in sickbay critically injured!!

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Let's go.  ::gets up:: FCO: You have the bridge, Lt.

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  Commander, I need you to remain calm.  I need your assistance.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: True.  But, how many times were you shot at by someone what was part of a smear campaign against you?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  All of which I was aware of from the beginning.  I'm going to get answers and you're going to help me, Commander.  Do I have to make it an order?

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  Commander, would you please assist me?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Never, Captain.  I was just looking out for your well being, as is my job. ::smiles at the CO::

CTO_Horn says:
Newcolmb: This is personal and I am going to make you pay!!!

CTO_Horn says:
CIV: When I am done here.

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  Commander!  There is no place for personal vendettas here.  It is illogical.

CTO_Horn says:
Newcolmb: Now, you are going to tell me what I want to know!

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Then shall we ... ::moves towards the TL::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Follows the CO::

CTO_Horn says:
CIV: I didn’t make it personal they did!!!

FCO_Heath says:
::receives and begins studying the reports from the Shuttlebay::

CTO_Horn says:
Newcolmb: Who do you report to?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::orders the TL to security heading for the brig::

Newcolmb says:
:: Just stares at the CTO ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Try not to injure him too much.  We have to leave something for your husband to deal with.

CTO_Horn says:
Newcolmb: Do you know where I am from?

CIV_Serok says:
:: Moves towards Newcolmb, her hand outstretched ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::chuckles::  XO:  I'll try to leave him in tact.

ACTION:  Newcolmbe attempts to evade...

Newcolmb says:
:: continues to stare at the CTO, but tries to move to the side ::

CTO_Horn says:
::Slams Newcolmb back into the chair::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Ma'am, I apologize for not protecting you better on the planet surface.  I guess I couldn't be in more than once place at a time.

CTO_Horn says:
Newcolmb: This is your chance give it up or the Vulcan takes it forcefully!!!

Newcolmb says:
:: winces and spits at the feet of the CTO ::

FCO_Heath says:
*Marcholm* Heath to Marcholm, recheck shuttle 2, there are some discrepancies in the report.  If they are still there, have engineering give it a once over and make the repairs.

Marcholm says:
*FCO* Understood.

CIV_Serok says:
:: puts her hands on Newcolmbs face ::

CTO_Horn says:
Newcolmb: Actually just stay quiet. This allows me to inflict some bodily damage while she is ripping into your mind!!!!

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::arrives at security and heads for the brig area::

ACTION:  Newcolmb puts up a bit of a fight and then collapses into the mind meld

CIV_Serok says:
Newcolmb:  My mind to yours.......

CIV_Serok says:
Newcolmb:  My thoughts to your thoughts.....

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters and sees the CTO and the CIV with one prisoner ... heads for the cell containing her would-be assassin::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Follows closely behind the CO::

Newcolmb says:
:: Mouths the words with the CIV ::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: AQilla, Wait.

CIV_Serok says:
:: Serok and Newcolmb speak together ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::turns as she hears her husband::

CIV_Serok/Newcolmb says:
CTO:  I came to stop the Vulcan.......at....all costs........

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Would you mind taking over here?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: With all due respect, Russ, I won't leave you and your wife, alone, with this prisoner.

FCO_Heath says:
::gets the new report from the shuttle bay and notes the copy to engineering:: Self: Good.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Your call.

CIV_Serok/Newcolmb says:
CTO:  She must.........not find.....out about.....Section 31......

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Commander, I do not think you and I talking to him would be wise. ::points to the other cell::

CTO_Horn says:
::Looks at the CIV::

CIV_Serok/Newcolmb says:
CTO: Damn her!!!....she can't keep.....her Vulcan......nose out of it.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  This sounds interesting.  Let's listen in and then we'll have something to go interrogate the other one with.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Fine, you take over here, I will join T'Lok.

ACTION:  Newcolmb collapses from exhaustion, unable to fight the meld

CTO_Horn says:
CO: It will make for a better whipping when I question him!!

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  No, Russ.  I need this guy alive ... and you wouldn't exactly be gentle with him.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks at the CO, allowing it to be her call::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I am your best bet for getting anything out of him.

CIV_Serok says:
:: Serok looks up :: CO:  Captain, according to the Ensign here, Admiral Thompson is who ordered him to kill me, but, he couldn't bring himself to kill me.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Wonders to himself about just how gentle the CO will be with this prisoner::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CIV:  That makes sense.  How much more does he know?

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Fear is a valuable asset that I can use.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Ma'am, it would appear that this conspiracy goes all the way to the top.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Which is something we always suspected.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  That is all he knows Captain.  That he was ordered to keep me from finding out about section 31 and that his orders came directly form Admiral Thompson.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I still have my doubts and concerns about Admiral Alexander as well.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Were we ever able to determine where those signals we picked up were going?  That may be our next avenue in this investigation.

CTO_Horn says:
::Looks to the next cell:: XO: Let’s go find out!!!

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Cool it, mister!

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  Not that I am aware of Captain.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Mr. Horn, settle down.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::shakes her head:: XO:  No, I don't think so.  I think she may have been misinformed.

CTO_Horn says:
CO/XO: I don’t plan on killing him. However, I do have an advantage with this questioning being I am who I am.

CIV_Serok says:
:: exits the cell and goes and sits down and closes her eyes to meditate for a few moments ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Why?  Because he took a shot at your wife?

CTO_Horn says:
CO/XO: Intimidation and fear will get a lot.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Let's try it my way first.  If that doesn't work I'll let you loose.  OK?

CTO_Horn says:
CO: He tried to kill you and Ryan.

CIV_Serok says:
:: looks up and lifts her eyebrow ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: This is the reason that I do not want you in that cell, Commander.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: This is what makes me the perfect person to interrogate him.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves over and looks at the gunman:: Lone:  So, you thought you'd try to kill me, did you?  Well guess what ... you failed ...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: That man hit you too close to home.  It will be difficult for you to remain objective.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Remains closely behind the CO::

Host Lone Gunman says:
::looks at CO, shrugs, and says nothing::

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  Indeed?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Not this time, Mr. Horn.  

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  If he's Starfleet then he'll have a record.  Find it.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: understood, Ma'am.  But, we need to get a name out of him first.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: While I would love to be left alone with him for 5  minutes I want the head guy, I want the man who set this chain of events in motion.\

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  We believe we already know who that is, Commander.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Yes, but a DNA sample will make our search that much simpler ...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: That is true.  Would you care to extract a bit for me?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  I need a sample from him.  Want to get it?  ::looks at the XO to gauge his reaction::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Gladly!

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: All I would need is one hair follicle, please.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Just a few hairs ... and promise me you won't hit him.

Host Lone Gunman says:
::backs away from the force field::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I will not hit him!

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Mr. Horn, please do not do anything else to harm this prisoner.

Host Lone Gunman says:
::stands in the middle of the cell and closes his eyes, relaxed::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
Gunman:  You see ... the man I am sending in is my husband.  And he is a little peeved at you taking a shot at his wife.

CTO_Horn says:
::Hands the XO his phaser:: XO: Here, just to satisfy you.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Also search him thoroughly.  Make sure he has no means of killing himself or harming anyone else.

Host Lone Gunman says:
::does not move from his stance or position, does not open his eyes::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Scan him now!

CTO_Horn says:
XO: I will use only the force that is absolutely necessary to do my job!!

CTO_Horn says:
::Steps to the force field::

CIV_Serok says:
:: sits and listens to the exchange between the CO,XO,CTO and prisoner ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::takes the tricorder off of his belt, and scans the prisoner::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::draws a phaser and takes aim .. Motions to the security officers in the room to do the same as they lower the force field::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Ok let me in.

CTO_Horn says:
::Steps into the cell::

CTO_Horn says:
All: Raise it!!

ACTION:  CTO Horn is thrown back out of the cell by a single invisible blow to the chest...

ACTION:  As the CTO leaves the cell, the field snaps up again at his own order...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Follows very closely behind the CTO, thus the CTO flies into him::

FCO_Heath says:
::leans back deeper into her chair, monitoring sensors and comms::

Lone Gunman says:
::opens his eyes and keeps a blank face::

CIV_Serok says:
:: stands and walks over to help the CTO and XO up from the floor ::

CTO_Horn says:
All: What the..........

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
Gunman:  Nice trick.

CIV_Serok says:
CTO/XO:  Are you alright ?

CTO_Horn says:
::Is really ticked now::

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Phaser please!!

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: I am fine.  The CTO is small enough that I was able to just catch him, and roll.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Stand down, Commander!

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: you don’t honestly expect me to hand you a phaser, do you, Commander?

Lone Gunman says:
CTO:  Using that on me will end your career.  I demand an advocate.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I am not going to kill him.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO/XO:  Ahh ... he does speak.

CIV_Serok says:
:: Looks around :: CO:  I am the advocate on the ship Captain.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: It just seems we have someone here who needs a little incentive to cooperate.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::points to the CIV:: Gunman.  There is your advocate ...

Lone Gunman says:
CIV:  Under the circumstances, Captain, I would prefer someone that will not be a witness for the prosecution.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::has an idea she knows who this person is::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I just realized something, Ma'am, we don't have to go near this prisoner to get his DNA

CIV_Serok says:
Lone Gunman:  I am what you have sir.  I am Vulcan and I can be impartial.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Indeed.  Scan his DNA, Commander.  I have a feeling we are going to find we are holding an Admiral ... ::is guessing but waits for the reaction::

CTO_Horn says:
Gunman: So how did you do that!!

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Goes to the phaser that Lone Gunman used, and scans it for DNA evidence::

Lone Gunman says:
::chuckles at the CO::  All:  Do your worst...you'll not find anything I don't want you to.

CIV_Serok says:
:: lifts her eyebrow ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
Gunman:  Is that right.  I think I already know who you are ... all I need now is to prove it.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Finds the DNA in the skin oil left behind on the phaser, and runs an analysis on it::

Lone Gunman says:
CO:  Fill your boots, Captain.  ::chuckles::

CIV_Serok says:
:: sits back down and listens ::

CTO_Horn says:
::Steps next to the XO and whispers:: XO: Why don’t we put this guy to sleep?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::chuckles:: Come on, Admiral.  Don't be shy.  I know who you are ... all I need to know now is why?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sifts through the DNA evidence, removing his since he touched the phaser as well::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Isolates the DNA of the prisoner and finds no match on record:: 

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Well, I got the results, Ma'am.  He doesn't exist.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  What a surprise ...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Maybe I should let the CTO loose on him.  Since he doesn't exist, nobody will miss him.

Lone Gunman says:
ALL:  ::chuckles:: Call me nowhere man.  

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Send the results to Admiral Taylor .. perhaps he will have more luck than we are ...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Will do, ma'am.

Lone Gunman says:
XO:  By all means if you wish to replace your CTO AGAIN.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Search all Starfleet medical records and see what comes back as close to this.

CTO_Horn says:
Gunman: Strong words for a coward!!!

Lone Gunman says:
CTO:  Just because you say it doesn't make it so.  ::looks bored::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Sends a subspace, encoded message to Admiral Taylor, along with the results of the DNA scan, and requests any information that he can send::

CTO_Horn says:
XO: T'Lok, how would the Klingons define his behavior of killing from the shadows?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Has the computer run the DNA through all known medical records:: CO: The DNA search will take some time, Ma'am.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: That is an easy one to answer.  Only a coward would kill from the shadows, without looking his opponent in the eyes.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Understood.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Receives a reply from Admiral Taylor::

Lone Gunman says:
XO:  And only a fool does not lay careful plans for escape and evasion in case he is overcome by events.

CTO_Horn says:
Gunman: I don’t have to say it to make it true.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Ma'am, Admiral Taylor comes to the same assumption as you.  He believes this is most likely Admiral Thompson.  He also says that Thompson has cut all his records out of the data bases.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
Gunman:  And only a fool would fall into a trap of our making ... you slipped up by coming after me, Admiral.

Lone Gunman says:
CTO:  You shouldn't say anything.  You're already dangerously close to ending your own career.

CTO_Horn says:
Gunman: But I guess that makes you a fool and a coward!!

CTO_Horn says:
Gunman: You think this is about my career?

Lone Gunman says:
XO:  ::thumbs at the CTO::  Not too bright, is he.  CTO:  I won't engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man, Commander.

CIV_Serok says:
:: shakes her head at the foolish posturing going on...it is.....illogical ::

CTO_Horn says:
Gunman: Do you think I am that concerned about that?

Lone Gunman says:
CTO:  No, but you do...

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks around at the CTO and XO:: CTO/XO:  You know, the Romulans have really creative ways of getting information ...

Lone Gunman says:
CTO:  If you were not, you would pursue a different tactic of interrogation.  Honestly, what the academy lets out these days...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: But, how do we know that he isn’t working with the Romulans?

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Hand me that phaser!!!

Lone Gunman says:
CO:  Been there, done that.  Tickles.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: stand down, Mr. Horn.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Good point.  Maybe we should find out ..

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Let me show him just how wrong he is!!

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  That's enough, Commander.

CTO_Horn says:
Gunman: I am very creative and know how to extract the information I want!!!

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Mr. Horn, he is baiting you, and you are taking that bate.  Now, I suggest you go for a walk.

Lone Gunman says:
CTO:  It will be the last thing you ever do as an officer.  CIV:  If you're my advocate, you should be stopping this harassment.  I've requested counsel!

CTO_Horn says:
Gunman: You think you know me and what drives me!! You know nothing about me!!!

Lone Gunman says:
CTO:  You're a babe in the woods, Mister Horn.

CIV_Serok says:
Lone Gunman:  You refused my counsel, are you now reversing that decision?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Takes the CTO by the arm, and escorts him from the brig area::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  By all means, Captain ... advocate .. but since he rejected your services the counsel thing doesn't count.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Russ, you need to take a walk from here, now.  Don't make me make that an order.

CTO_Horn says:
::Steps out the door with the XO::

Lone Gunman says:
CIV:  Not in the least.  But I have been denied proper counsel, and now I have no recourse but undergo harassment like this and throw myself on the mercy of a witness for the prosecution.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Don’t you see. He is starting to talk. That is the first step.

CIV_Serok says:
Gunman:  If you wish my counsel, I shall intervene.

Lone Gunman says:
CO:  Actually, it does, Mister Horn.  The moment I ask for my own counsel this is supposed to stop.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: I had to get his mouth moving.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: It is he is getting baited.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Russ, the only talking he is doing is done so to inflame you.  You are become aggravated, which is what he wants.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Captain, did we violate this man's rights?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: He might be talking, but he isn’t saying anything that we need.

CIV_Serok says:
CO/XO/CTO:  The prisoner has requested counsel, I must request that you terminate this questioning.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Can you not see how I have gotten under his skin.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  He refused the counsel that was presented him, but, apparently, he has decided otherwise.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Then you accept the role to be his counsel during questioning and during any trial that will result?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Oh, I can see that he isn’t happy, indeed Mr. Horn.  However, your skin is about to rip off from him getting that far under yours!

Lone Gunman says:
CO:  Yes...you did.  But I'm magnanimous enough to let it drop.  CIV:  I requested my OWN counsel, and not you as biased for the prosecution.  Big difference, Captain.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  If it is his choice, I have my duty Captain.

CIV_Serok says:
Gunman:  You wish to name your counsel?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Then have a message sent to Starfleet and request somebody from JAG rendezvous with us to represent the prisoner.

Lone Gunman says:
CIV:  commander Denning will stand as my Counsel when he arrives.  you will find him at the JAG corps in the office of the Advocate General.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Starfleet put me here to do a job. While you are the executive officer here, it still does not change the fact that I have a job to do, a job that Starfleet chose me for specifically.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  Captain, he has requested his own counsel, he must name them or do with what the court appoints.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Then send for Commander Denning.
