Host JAG_Eagle says:
::rises slowly and solemnly:: Admiral:  The defense firmly pleads Not Guilty to all Counts for the Record
Host Adm_Klord says:
::snorts derisively at the not guilty plea::
Host Adm_Savek says:
::wonders how he would plead the case ::
Host Adm_Klord says:
::reminds himself to TRY to stay objective::
Host Adm_Alex says:
Let it be entered into the record that the Counsel for the defense has entered a plea of not guilty to all counts.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
::returns to his seat::
Host Adm_Savek says:

CMOStarr says:
::quietly receiving an update on SO Nes's condition::
Host CO_Miller says:
::looks over at Selan to see how he is reacting to all that is going on::
Host Adm_Alex says:
Let all present know, that all the crew of the Scorpius will be called to testify.  There will be no admission into evidence of things you have heard from others.  This is called "hearsay" and will not be permitted.
CTO_Selan says:
::Solemnly looks forward, unsure of how to react to the situation, pain etched across his face::
Host Adm_Klord says:

Host Adm_Alex says:

Host Adm_Alex says:
Counsel for the defense, you may make your opening statement.

Host JAG_Eagle says:
Judges:  the wrong person is on trial here
Host Adm_Klord says:
::reads note and chuckles::
Host Adm_Klord says:
::raises eyebrows at the defense remarks::
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Judges:  CTO Selan was not in control of his actions, he in fact was inhabited by another entity.
Host Adm_Savek says:
::listens ::
Host CO_Miller says:
::nods his head slightly as he listens::
Host Adm_Klord says:
::makes a note::
Host Adm_Alex says:
::listening to the Counselor, her expression blank::
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Judges:  The crew of the Scorpius was told by a being known as the Traveler that Shinar was an outlaw who had escaped, and could co-exist with other beings.
Host Adm_Savek says:
::Raises his eyebrows at the last statement::
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Judges: Shinar should be on trial here not CTO Selan.
CTO_Selan says:
::Wonders if he actually agrees with the findings... and then dismisses those thoughts, in enough personal pain, blaming himself for what happened as it is::
Host JAG_Eagle says:
::takes his seat::
Host Adm_Alex says:
Thank you Counselor.
Host Adm_Alex says:
Admiral K’Lord will be the leading judge in this case::looking over at K’Lord::  Admiral Savek and I will also question the crew.  I will be the one to decide on admissibility and objections.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
::casts a reassuring glance at Selan::
CTO_Selan says:
::Glances and nods at Eagle::
Host Adm_Klord says:
::prepares first question::
Host Adm_Savek says:
Admirals : I think this is the best time to sequester the crew
Host Adm_Alex says:
The court will now call Captain Miller, the rest of you will wait outside until called.

::glances over to the SEC type ::
CSOTsalea says:
::stands and leaves the room::
CTO_Selan says:
::Watches as the others leave the room, and watches the Captain walk forward::
Host Adm_Alex says:
Captain Miller, CPO Hodge will administer the oath.
CPO_Hodge says:
Captain Miller, please raise your right hand.
Host CO_Miller says:
::raises right hand::
CSOTsalea says:
@CMO:  How is Lt. Nes.
CPO_Hodge says:
Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
CIVlecara says:
::leaves the room after everyone else:
Host Adm_Savek says:
::passes note to K’Lord:: Insanity defense ?
Host CO_Miller says:
CPO:  I do.
Host Adm_Alex says:
Captain Miller, please be seated.
EO_Kellen says:
@::folds his arms, and leans against the wall, frowning::
Host Adm_Alex says:
Admiral K'Lord, will you begin please.
Host CO_Miller says:
::takes his seat::
CMOStarr says:
@CSO:  She is out of danger.  If you wouldn't have found her when you did.  It would have been too late.
Host Adm_Klord says:
::passes note back::" not on your life"
CTO_Selan says:
::Watches Captain Miller take a seat. Frowns as he does, not wanting to put any of them through this::
CMOStarr says:
@CSO:  Was that who was yelling telepathically?
Host JAG_Eagle says:
::knows this is not an insanity defense but completely not guilty::
CSOTsalea says:
@CMO:  yes, it was.
CSOTsalea says:
@CMO:  Do you know when she will be awake?
Host Adm_Klord says:
CO: Captain, I find it highly unlikely that this man was "possessed for the amount of time necessary to accomplish all these crimes without anyone noticing anything. How do you explain that?
CTO_Selan says:
::Listens to Admiral K'lord's first question, wondering how the Captain will respond::
CMOStarr says:
@CSO:  Not for a few more hours.  Dr. Paine and I had to do surgery on her wrist.  The glass cut the main artery of her forearm, as well as several ligaments and tendons.  So, we sedated her.
Host CO_Miller says:
Adm_Klord:  I'm not exactly sure that I could explain it.
Host Adm_Klord says:
CO: Captain, that is not acceptable...::frowns and makes a note::
CSOTsalea says:
@::nods::  CMO:  The rest will do her good.  She has not been sleeping much lately, nor do I believe she has been eating well.
Host Adm_Alex says:
Captain Miller, please explain what happened as far as you were involved.
Host CO_Miller says:
Adm_Klord:  What do you consider acceptable Admiral?
Host Adm_Savek says:
CO: We know you don't have training in Psychology, but surely you had an impression?
CMOStarr says:
@CSO:  I agree.  I noticed since I've been here that she looked like she was loosing weight.  I was going to speak to her today about it.  ::sigh::  I hate to ask this, but do you know if she had a suicide wish?
Host CO_Miller says:
Adm_Savek:  I know that I can tell you Lt. Tracianolus himself could never carry out such destruction.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
::nods::
Host Adm_Savek says:
::looks thoughtful::
Host Adm_Alex says:
Captain, please, relate the incidents as they took place.
Host Adm_Klord says:
CO: You must have an idea of normal behavior for your crew. Would you consider his actions normal?
CSOTsalea says:
@CMO:  No doctor.  She did not.  She has been under a lot of stress... but she insisted she could handle it.
CTO_Selan says:
::Slightly inwardly smiles at Captain Miller's statement::
Host CO_Miller says:
Adm_Klord:  There were times when I was concerned about Lt. Tracianolus' actions.
CSOTsalea says:
@CMO:  I believe what occurred was an accident.
Host Adm_Klord says:
::shakes head:: CO: answer the next question
Host Adm_Alex says:
::passes the CO's logs to Adm Savek and Adm K’Lord::
CTO_Selan says:
::Thoughts drift off... worried about Shania... lying there in sick-bay::
CMOStarr says:
@SO:  Good I would hate to think that she did this to herself.  She has been under a lot of stress.  She never left sickbay unless I ordered her to leave, which was daily.
Host Adm_Savek says:
::;glances through logs that he has read before ::
EO_Kellen says:
@CEO: You know, what I wouldn't give to be fixing SOMETHING right about now.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
::motions to Selan to pay attention::
CTO_Selan says:
::Sees Eagle's motion, shakes his thoughts away... and returns his concentration to the Court Martial::
Host Adm_Klord says:
::takes logs and checks to see that they are the ones he read in preparation for the trial::
CEOTPaula says:
@::gives the EO a puzzled look::
CSOTsalea says:
@CMO: If things go well ::looks at the closed doors:: then she will be fine.  If not, she will need counseling.
Host Adm_Savek says:
CO: I have here the logs that you wrote, I have read them already, I thought you had someone with psychological training aboard?
EO_Kellen says:
@CEO: I mean simply that it would be preferable to doing this.
CEOTPaula says:
@EO: Why would you have to give anything to anyone to be allowed to fix something?
EO_Kellen says:
@CEO: It's an expression, meaning I would pay any price to be anywhere but here.
Host CO_Miller says:
Adm_Savek:  We do.  Lt. Tracianolus should have sought help.
CMOStarr says:
@CSO:  Dr Paine is arranging with our ship counselor for her to spend some time with him, when we release her from Sickbay.  Have you had a chance to train with the CTO?
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Objection: calls for a medical opinion
Host Adm_Alex says:
Objection sustained.
Host Adm_Savek says:
CO: Agreed::frowns:: does you psychologist have Psi talents?
CEOTPaula says:
@EO: If you are that desperate, you might be able to escape, but that might result in a court-martial of your own.
Host Adm_Alex says:
::makes note::
Host CO_Miller says:
Adm_Savek:  With all due respect sir, I do not think Selan should be on trial!
Host Adm_Savek says:
::Raises his eyebrows at the CO’s statement::
EO_Kellen says:
@CEO: Perhaps.  But at least I would be on trial for something I did.
CTO_Selan says:
::Is surprised by Captain Miller's statement. Raises an eyebrow as well::
Host JAG_Eagle says:
::nods::
Host Adm_Klord says:
::bangs gavel: CO: that is not for you to decide!
CSOTsalea says:
@CMO:  There has not been enough time.  I have however put together a schedule of training and exercises for him.  I have yet to confer with Commander Starr however.
Host Adm_Alex says:
Admiral K’Lord, if I may?
CEOTPaula says:
@::doesn't respond, as this is perilously close to the forbidden topic::
Host Adm_Alex says:
Captain Miller, just recite for us what happened during your last mission.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Objection: The Captain is qualified to render a judgement on his crew's lawful behavior.
Host Adm_Alex says:
Objection sustained.
Host Adm_Klord says:
::Nods to Adm Alex::
Host Adm_Savek says:
CO: This is not a trial such as they had in the Terran 20th Century, thank the gods, rather we are trying to discover what occurred and how to prevent a repeat of the occurrence, and if someone needs help, get him the help he needs.
Host CO_Miller says:
Adm_Savek:  But I can tell you what occurred.  These Travelers are the ones who should be here explaining themselves.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
::nods::
CMOStarr says:
@CSO:  Good, when you get the chance, and thank you for helping.  I wish my telepathic abilities were better so I could help him also.  But I guess I should be lucky with what I have.  ::smiling::
Host Adm_Savek says:
CO: Oh? I read a bit about it in your logs.
Host Adm_Alex says:
Captain Miller, did you hear my question?
Host Adm_Alex says:
Please testify to what happened in your presence.
CSOTsalea says:
@CMO:  Indeed doctor.  I understand that your abilities are only with Cmdr. Starr?
Host CO_Miller says:
Adm_Alex:  Ma'am, if you want me to go into every detail about what happened, it will take up quite a bit of time.  My reports on the incident are very thorough.
Host Adm_Alex says:
Then if you have nothing to add, you are dismissed Captain.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
::rises:: Admiral I would like to cross examine
Host CO_Miller says:
::looks at the Admiral and shakes his head slightly::
CMOStarr says:
@CSO:  Yes, but then again,  I have never had the need to test them, so I don't have an official "range".  She is the only one I have ever tried to connect with.
Host Adm_Alex says:
Counselor, of course, my apologies.
Host CO_Miller says:
::gets up and begins to leave, but stops::
CTO_Selan says:
::Watches as Eagle rises, and slightly frowns at the Captain's actions, but is slightly... happy, inside::
Host JAG_Eagle says:
::rises and approaches the CO on the stand::
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Captain: Please think back to before Shinar appeared.
CSOTsalea says:
@CMO:  You are onboard with a crew that has an unusual number of telepaths.  It would be wise if you would consider having yourself tested.
Host CO_Miller says:
JAG:  Yes?
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Is it true that Selan was taken to Sickbay?
Host CO_Miller says:
JAG:  Yes, he was.
CMOStarr says:
@CSO:  hmm How would I go about being tested?  You've got my curiosity up now?
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Captain: I see. Is it then true that he disappeared from Sickbay following a strange energy burst?
Host CO_Miller says:
JAG:  Yes, but I was not onboard the Scorpius at the time that incident occurred.
Host Adm_Alex says:
Jag: That statement will be stricken from the record, hearsay evidence.
CSOTsalea says:
@CMO:  I am surprised that you were not tested by Starfleet when your abilities were first noted.  I believe I or Commander Jude would be able to assist you in that area.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Court: my apologies
Host Adm_Alex says:
::nods::
CMOStarr says:
@CSO:  hmm I never told Starfleet.  :;blushing::
Host CO_Miller says:
JAG:  All I can tell you, is what happened after we were suddenly brought back onboard the Scorpius.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Captain: Is it true the Traveler explained to you that Shinar was an outlaw from their race?
CSOTsalea says:
@::raises eyebrow at CMO::
Host CO_Miller says:
JAG:  Yes.
Host Adm_Savek says:
::passes note to Klord::
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Captain: Is it true that he said Shinar could co-exist with other beings?
CMOStarr says:
@CSO:  I figured that they didn't need to know since I considered my abilities to be so limited.  ::blushing even more::
Host CO_Miller says:
JAG:  Yes, he did.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Captain: Nothing further.
Host Adm_Alex says:
Captain, you are dismissed.
Host Adm_Alex says:
CPO, called XO Emmanuel.
Host CO_Miller says:
::gets up without looking at the Admirals and leaves the courtroom::
CPO_Hodge says:
::goes to the hall to get the XO::
Host Adm_Savek says:
CO: One more Question : Did your Executive Officer not recommend a psychological exam be performed on the CTO?
XO_Jude says:
::Enters the room, and approaches the witness box,  giving a quick smile to Adm. Alexander::
Host CO_Miller says:
::stops::  Adm_Savek:  Not to me.  That is something you need to ask Commander Emmanuel.
Host Adm_Savek says:
::nods::
CSOTsalea says:
@CMO:  We have had too many incidents aboard the Scorpius concerning telepathy ::looks again at the courtroom door::  As soon as this is over, I would advise you to look into this.  I will assist you if you would like.
CTO_Selan says:
::Watches as Commander Emmanuel enters the room, and Captain Miller leaves::
Host JAG_Eagle says:
::returns to his chair::
CMOStarr says:
@CSO:  Could you please.  Like I said you have piqued my curiosity.
EO_Kellen says:
@::glances at the CO, still unhappy at being here::
Host Adm_Savek says:
::Passes note to Klord:: " the XO's Logs says he was recommending it, no time?"
Cathy (Cat@ip157.isdn1-boston.ma.pub-ip.psi.net) has left the conversation.
CSOTsalea says:
@::nods at the CMO::
Host CO_Miller says:
@::grits his teeth as he walks up and down the corridor::
CPO_Hodge says:
Commander Emmanuel, please raise your right hand.
XO_Jude says:
::Complies::
CPO_Hodge says:
Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
XO_Jude says:
I do
Host Adm_Klord says:
::passes note back::"question him about it"
CSOTsalea says:
@::notes the captains demeanor::
CPO_Hodge says:
XO: You may be seated. ::walks back to his place::
Host CO_Miller says:
@::thinks to himself that this whole charade should not even be taking place::
XO_Jude says:
::sits::
Host Adm_Alex says:
::looks to K’Lord to begin::
TO_Calder says:
@::sits down against the wall::
Host Adm_Savek says:
XO: You have said in your logs that you were going to recommend a psychological exam for Selan, did you ever do so?
CMOStarr says:
@CO:  I wanted to let you know that SO Nes is out of danger.
Host Adm_Klord says:
XO: Are you familiar with the Arginity virus and how it came to be?
XO_Jude says:
I believe so, sir
Host CO_Miller says:
@CMO:  Thank you Dr.  It is nice to hear some good news for once.  I'm sure you did a wonderful job.
EO_Kellen says:
@No one in particular: Why is it we get attacked during our off time, but never when we could use a break?
Host Adm_Klord says:
::saves question for later::
TO_Calder says:
@EO: huh?
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Objection: What is the relevance of the virus to Selan's identity as Shinar?
OPSCarol says:
@CO: Captain Miller, I hate to bother you at a time like this. Just wanted to report in to you. Ensign T'Kerl, your new Operations Officer.
CEOTPaula says:
@::tries to figure out what the EO means, with little success::
EO_Kellen says:
@TO: Just commenting that whenever things are going our way, we get surprise attacked.  But never when things are going wrong.
CMOStarr says:
@CO:  Actually If it had not been for the CSO finding her, there wouldn't have been anything I or Dr. Paine could have done.   I would like to recommend her for some kind of award if possible Sir?
Host Adm_Alex says:
Objection overruled.  Relevancy is his actions Counselor.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
::sits::
Host Adm_Klord says:
XO: Did you follow through with that recommendation?
TO_Calder says:
@EO: If you ask me, we get attacked by something or someone whether things are going good or bad.
CEOTPaula says:
@EO: You would like to be attacked when things are already going badly?
Host CO_Miller says:
@OPS:  Yes Ensign, welcome.  I'm sorry I'm a little displaced at the moment.
EO_Kellen says:
@TO: Ever noticed how the odds of that drop drastically when things are bad?
XO_Jude says:
Sir, I considered the recorded duty log as the expression of my recommendation to my superiors, both CO Miller, and SFC.
OPSCarol says:
@CO: Not a problem.  Just wanted to let you know I had arrived as ordered.
CTO_Selan says:
::Frowns, and grimaces. Still worried about Shania, but is as well concentrating on the problem at hand::
Host Adm_Savek says:
XO: But the CO said he never saw the recommendation, as he was a senior officer should you not have made sure that he was aware of it?
TO_Calder says:
@EO: We seem to get our fair share. If you want to state odds, find out how often other ships are attacked versus how often we are attacked. We just have bad luck, or an evil person looking after us.
CMOStarr says:
@OPS:  Welcome aboard.  I'm Dr. Michaela Starr, Chief Medical Officer,  ::sticks out hand::
CSOTsalea says:
@::looks over at the CMO:: CMO:  I only did the logical thing.
Host CO_Miller says:
@OPS:  Thank you Ensign.  We will have a discussion about protocol a little later.
OPSCarol says:
@::shakes Dr. Michaela's hand:: Thanks.
OPSCarol says:
@CO: Aye sir.
EO_Kellen says:
@::smirks slightly:: TO: It was merely an observation.
XO_Jude says:
I am not responsible for which of my superiors are not reading and acting on duty logs sir.
CSOTsalea says:
@OPS:  Live long and prosper.  Welcome aboard the Scorpius.
TO_Calder says:
@EO: find some numbers, maybe we will win a prize.
CMOStarr says:
@CSO:  I know, but everyone likes to hear the words Thank you every once in awhile. Even you. ::smiling::
Host Adm_Alex says:
Admiral Savek, if I may ask a question?
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: There is a prize?
Host Adm_Savek says:
XO: I think you missed your duty there sir, Alex?
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: If there isn't, we can start a contest of some kind.  I am sure we would win.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Objection: The witness is not on trial.
Host Adm_Alex says:
XO Emmanuel, as you are a counselor, what is your medical opinion concerning CTO Selan?
CSOTsalea says:
@CMO:  I have learned that among many, that is correct.
OPSCarol says:
@CO: With the Captain's permission I will return to the Scorpius to settle in.
XO_Jude says:
ADM Savek:   I must respectfully disagree with you
Host CO_Miller says:
@smiles slightly at the new OPS officer::
Host Adm_Klord says:
::mumbles:: perhaps he should be.
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: Surely it is not ethical to start a contest you are sure of winning?
XO_Jude says:
Currently, ma’am?
Host CO_Miller says:
@OPS:  Permission granted.
EO_Kellen says:
@TO: You want to start a contest about who can quote odds?
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: Who said anything about ethics?
Host Adm_Alex says:
XO no, before, during, and after this last mission.
OPSCarol says:
@::leaves the hallway where proceedings are taking place::
TO_Calder says:
@TO: No, about which ship gets attacked most often.
Host Adm_Alex says:
Can you compare his mental states of mind?
EO_Kellen says:
@TO: Ah. I'll see what I can do when we get back to the S.
TO_Calder says:
@EO: Wonderful.
XO_Jude says:
I was concerned about his mental state.  There had been a previous manifestation of Shinar  which had prompted my first recommendation.
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: It was not mentioned, excluding what I said, just now.
Host Adm_Klord says:
::leans forward to listen::
EO_Kellen says:
@TO: But first things first. A trip to the holodeck.
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: Exactly.
Host Adm_Alex says:
When was that Commander?
XO_Jude says:
Maam,  if you mean the mental and telepathic signatures of Selan and Shinar.....
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: I fail to see the point.
TO_Calder says:
@EO: Whatever makes you happy I guess.
Host Adm_Savek says:
::makes note and passes to Klord:: "definitely one weak on command skills"
CTO_Selan says:
::Listens to Admiral Alexander's and Commander Emmanuel's "conversation"::
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: The point is, that ethics don't matter much in this sort of contest.
Host Adm_Klord says:
::reads the note and nods in agreement::
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: You intend to be intentionally unethical.
XO_Jude says:
There were differences, obvious ones, but also similarities.  The latter is not surprising, if we are to believe the Traveler's words.
EO_Kellen says:
@::grins:: CEO: That's one of the quirks of being human, sir.
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: I think we deserve something.
Host Adm_Alex says:
And if you had a part in a recommendation for CTO Selan, at this juncture, what would that be?
CEOTPaula says:
@::looks from the EO to the TO and is fairly lost::
XO_Jude says:
Shinar was possessing Selan, using his body and his mind....
CTO_Selan says:
::Raises an eyebrow and listens::
XO_Jude says:
I would rather not say, maam
TO_Calder says:
@::watches the CEO and just starts laughing::
Host JAG_Eagle says:
::nods in agreement::
EO_Kellen says:
@::merely grins, not wanting to visibly laugh at his superior officer::
Host Adm_Klord says:
.XO: AS a counselor, do you have any evidence that he was not acting on his own?
CEOTPaula says:
@::looks from the EO to the TO again and is increasingly lost::
TO_Calder says:
@::doesn't worry about laughing because 1) they are off duty, and 2) he doesn't think the CEO has more rank, just position... so it is worth the risk::
XO_Jude says:
Sir, that was confusing at first,    I was originally convinced that Shinar was merely a manifestation of an ill-subconscious mind..   As long as we believe the traveler though, I was in error.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
::Nods in agreement::
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: You know, there was a time when I wanted to just be logical.  But you have to get past that, there are other things in life!
Host Adm_Savek says:
::makes note on PADD ::
Host Adm_Alex says:
Admirals, any more questions for the Commander?
CTO_Selan says:
::Listens, glancing down at his missing limb for a moment::
Host Adm_Klord says:
XO: And why are we supposed to believe this traveler?
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: And where would be the logic in that?
Host Adm_Savek says:
::shakes head ::
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Objection: Calls for speculation.
EO_Kellen says:
@TO: A Vulcan who can see past logic?  You are asking a lot.
CSOTsalea says:
@::looks over toward TO and EO and raises an eyebrow::
Host Adm_Alex says:
Objection sustained.  Admiral, rephrase your question.
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: The logic is that logic is great, but is not the end all to the universe.
CEOTPaula says:
@::wonders how to interpret what the EO just said::
Host Adm_Klord says:
JAG: I am just trying to establish whether or not he was truly possessed.
CTO_Selan says:
::Face is blank. Unsure of what to think... what to feel::
Host CO_Miller says:
@::continues deep in thought as he paces the corridor::
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: I am not a philosopher.
XO_Jude says:
Considering his actions (as witnessed by the crew),  I have no particular, nor logical objection to his explanation ....especially as many events were beyond our comprehension (scientifically).
OPSCarol says:
@CSO: Live long and prosper.  Thanks for your welcome aboard.  I am looking forward to getting to know everyone.
Host Adm_Klord says:
XO: Is there any physical evidence that he was possessed?
EO_Kellen says:
@CEO: Exactly, sir.  There are some things in life that will call for something other than logic in order to be understood.
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: And neither am I! Laugh some time, it is good for you. 
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Objection: Possession is not physical.
XO_Jude says:
Physical, and psychological.
CMOStarr says:
@::Coms sickbay for a status on the SO::
CSOTsalea says:
::looks back at OPS::  OPS:  You are welcome.  If I can assist you with anything, let me know.
Host Adm_Alex says:
Objection sustained.
Host Adm_Klord says:
XO: Are there any traces of this Shinar still in his mind?
EO_Kellen says:
@::whispers to the TO:: TO: If she ever laughs, I'll buy you a drink.
XO_Jude says:
Yes.
CTO_Selan says:
::Looks up at K'lord's question::
OPSCarol says:
@CSO: Thanks I will
TO_Calder says:
@EO ::whispers,:: I'll take you up on that.
Host Adm_Klord says:
XO: To what extent?
XO_Jude says:
He has reported memories and emotions that belonged to Shinar.
EO_Kellen says:
@::grins::
XO_Jude says:
The extent would need further examination
Host Adm_Klord says:
XO: Are they his memories or any evidence of Shinar’s presence?
CEOTPaula says:
@EO/TO: If I ever laugh in your presence, I will buy you both drinks.
CEOTPaula says:
@EO/TO: Within reason.
CSOTsalea says:
@OPS:  have you been to Vulcan recently?
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: Good! It might help you a bit. I like orange juice.
EO_Kellen says:
@::glances at the TO:: CEO: Yes sir.
OPSCarol says:
@CSO: I have not been back since my husband died.
XO_Jude says:
We have had very poor results in recognizing Shinar's presence until it is too late.  The traveler did say that he was gone though.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
::Nods in agreement::
CSOTsalea says:
@OPS:  I grieve with thee.  How long has that been?
Host Adm_Klord says:
::nods skeptically::
Host Adm_Alex says:
Admirals, any further questions?
OPSCarol says:
@CSO: Almost four years ago
CEOTPaula says:
@::looks from the TO to the EO again, suspicious::
Host Adm_Savek says:
Alex : Not at this time of this witness
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: Did you know, that a competitive emotional response is one of the most beneficial things? It can improve your bodies performance by nearly 300%.
Host Adm_Alex says:
Counselor, your witness.
CSOTsalea says:
@OPS:  Was he Vulcan?
Host JAG_Eagle says:
::stands and approaches XO on the stand::
Host Adm_Klord says:
Adm.: not at this time but I would like to discuss this officer’s responsibilities later in chambers.
Host Adm_Alex says:
Noted Admiral.
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: Are you trying to convert me?
OPSCarol says:
@CSO: yes he was
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: No, I am being logical.
EO_Kellen says:
@CEO: Convert you? To what?
Host JAG_Eagle says:
XO: Were you on the bridge when Selan was taken to Sickbay before Shinar appeared?
XO_Jude says:
Yes sir
Host JAG_Eagle says:
XO: I see, is it true he collapsed?
CEOTPaula says:
@EO: Emotion.
XO_Jude says:
Yes
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: To what purpose?
EO_Kellen says:
@CEO; I have one word for you, sir.
CSOTsalea says:
@OPS:  You appear to have dealt well with it.  Is your family on Vulcan?
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: To help you. That is my job, isn't it?
Host JAG_Eagle says:
XO: Is it true the next time you saw Selan's physical body he stepped out of an astral rift onto the bridge?
CTO_Selan says:
::Watching Eagle and Commander Emmanuel. Then glances over at Admiral Savek, Admiral K’Lord, and Admiral Alexander::
OPSCarol says:
@CSO: Yes, my parents are there.
XO_Jude says:
Yes,  if you could call it his body.....
CEOTPaula says:
@::waits for the EO to elaborate::
EO_Kellen says:
@CEO: Actually, it's two words.
Host CO_Miller says:
@::walks over to the CEO::  CEO:  T'Paula, can you tell me where Tsalea is?
CSOTsalea says:
@OPS:  Yet you have never returned?
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: I suppose you could phrase it that way.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
XO: So is it fair to say whatever stepped out of the rift had immense astral psionic powers?
CEOTPaula says:
@CO: Sir. I had not noticed that she was missing.
XO_Jude says:
Yes
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: See! Thank you!
OPSCarol says:
@CSO: no but I am planning on returning on my next leave
Host JAG_Eagle says:
XO: I see, has Selan ever demonstrated such powers before?
CMOStarr says:
@CO:  I saw the CSO walking with the new Ops officer.
XO_Jude says:
Only under the influence of Shinar
CTO_Selan says:
::Watches with curiosity as Eagle speaks::
OPSCarol says:
@CSO: I went to earth to live with my father’s family for a while then entered the Academy.
CEOTPaula says:
@EO: What two words would those be?
XO_Jude says:
That was one time, and not to this extent
Host CO_Miller says:
@CMO:  Do you know where they were headed?
Host JAG_Eagle says:
XO: I see then would it be fair to say that whatever stepped out of the rift was a different being with alien abilities?
CSOTsalea says:
@::nods::  OPS:  then your fathers family lives on Earth.
Host Adm_Alex says:
XO's last statement will be stricken, no foundation laid as to confidence of the XO.
EO_Kellen says:
@CEO: Spock and Sarek. One had emotion, the other went through days of emotional torment when he died, because he never expressed them.
CMOStarr says:
@CO:  I believe towards the Ops quarters.
OPSCarol says:
@CSO: ::nods:: yes in Texas
Host Adm_Alex says:
knowing the difference between the two previously.
CTO_Selan says:
::Looks at Admiral Alexander in surprise for a moment, and then returns to listening to the investigation::
Host CO_Miller says:
@CMO:  Thank you Dr.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Admiral: The XO can attest to whether he witnessed Selan wield such powers
CSOTsalea says:
@OPS:  I briefly visited Texas.  There were some areas that reminded me of Vulcan.
CMOStarr says:
@CO:  Your welcome ::making notes into a padd::
CEOTPaula says:
@EO: I question your attributing the... emotional torment directly to the lack of expression of emotion.
OPSCarol says:
@CSO: ::nods head in agreement:: I think that is why I like it so well.
Host Adm_Alex says:
::looks at the JAG:: continue with your last question Counselor.
EO_Kellen says:
@CEO: Yes, sir. I question the logic behind not expressing emotions. I don’t see how you can justify them as being taboo.
CEOTPaula says:
@EO: You question an entire culture.
Host CO_Miller says:
@*CSO*:  Can I ask where you are at Tsalea?
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: Well, lack of emotion means that your body produces very few endorphines, which means you could perform at a much higher potential than you do now. So, emotion, is logical!
EO_Kellen says:
@CEO: No, sir. Just one aspect of it.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
XO: Is it fair to say that whatever stepped out of the rift had glowing red eyes and wielded astral powers, and was somehow able to move from Sickbay directly to the bridge?
CSOTsalea says:
@::turns to the captain::  CO:  Sir?
XO_Jude says:
Jag:   As I said earlier,  I had originally believed that Shinar was just a warped manifestation of an unbalanced mind..... I didn't think of them as separate beings, or an alien possession, until the traveler gave us an explanation.
Host CO_Miller says:
@CSO:  I'm sorry Tsalea, I didn't see you standing there.
CSOTsalea says:
@::nods::  CO:  are you well sir?
Host CO_Miller says:
@CSO:  Forgive me, my mind is just in other places right now.
XO_Jude says:
Jag:   I  would never under-estimate the powers of a strong telepath.
Host Adm_Savek says:
::glances over Selan's records::
XO_Jude says:
Jag:  We just don't know enough about the mind
CSOTsalea says:
@CO:  Perhaps some meditation later?
CTO_Selan says:
::Tries not to think of the people dead... images of Shinar killing... killing... killing... locks out those images::
CEOTPaula says:
@TO/EO: If you are really determined to convince me to express an emotion, I will admit that I am beginning to be annoyed at your persistence in questioning the Vulcan way, with no one but me present to defend it.
Host CO_Miller says:
@CSO:  Yes Tsalea, that would be a good idea.  Oh, and thank you for helping out our OPS officer.
Host Adm_Alex says:
Counselor, if I may?  XO, do you believe that Shinar and Selan are two separate entities from your experience?
XO_Jude says:
::Sinces serious mental disturbance of Selan::
CSOTsalea says:
@CO:  No problem sir  ::looks at him in concern::
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: I am not questioning the Vulcan way. I am just pointing out that there are ways to do things... better, for some people.
EO_Kellen says:
@CEO: Sir, I am not questioning your way.  I just wish someone would explain the logic behind it to me.  No pun intended, sir
CTO_Selan says:
::Listens to Admiral Alexander's question, wondering what the Commander's response will be::
XO_Jude says:
Adm Alex:   I do now,   but ma’am, proceedings aside,  do you sense what I do?   And should Selan have our counselor's attention?
CIVlecara says:
::suddenly decides to join in conversation::
Host CO_Miller says:
@CSO:  I'm sorry Tsalea, but this entire hearing should not even be taking place.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
XO: No further questions
Host Adm_Savek says:
::frowns and passes the report to K’Lord with one section highlighted ::
CSOTsalea says:
@::nods::
Host Adm_Alex says:
Commander Emmanuel, you are dismissed.
CIVlecara says:
@CEO: Well.. I am hear to help defend it
CSOTsalea says:
@OPS:  may I introduce to you other members of our crew?
Host Adm_Klord says:
::reads the highlighted section::
Host Adm_Savek says:
XO: Are you aware that Selan's VMI rating is a 5 ?
CIVlecara says:
@CEO: And oppose it at the same time
XO_Jude says:
Yes sir
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Judges: I suggest that the true person competent to testify here is the Traveler, the State cannot establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
CIVlecara says:
@CEO: You see, i allow myself to express emotion, even extreme emotion, but i walk on the path of logic, and always does it dominate my actions
Host Adm_Savek says:
JAG: We have no evidence at present that he did not indeed perform those actions.
CEOTPaula says:
@CIV: I do not believe your argument proves helpful from my point of view.
CTO_Selan says:
::Listens to Eagle, and then listens to Savek::
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: And you will note, that Lecaran is stronger because of his emotion.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
Admiral: The XO and the CO have testified that the Traveler said Shinar was an outlaw who had coexisted with Selan, there is evidence.
EO_Kellen says:
@CEO: Sir, would you consider doing something that logic states you shouldn't do?
Host Adm_Alex says:
Have a seat Counselor, I think now is a good time to break for lunch.  Be back here in one hour.
Host JAG_Eagle says:
