Scorpius 9908.07    episode6    Hearing  “Algernon Quest”

AdmAlex says:
The Court-martial of CTO Selan is about to begin.  The Judges are entering the courtroom as the defendant and council takes their seats.
CPOHodges says:
All rise
AdmAlex says:
::walks into the courtroom behind Admiral Savek
Adm_Savek says:
::enters room and takes his place behind his chair ::
CPOHodges says:
Room: You may all be seated
Adm_Savek says:
ALL: I am afraid that Admiral Klord was taken ill during his meal. He has been rushed to sickbay and will not be with us for the remainder of this inquiry , is it agreed to proceed ? ::looks at the JAG::
AdmAlex says:
::waits for Eagle to respond::
JAG_Eagle says:
::rises:: Admiral I have no objection I assume a draw vote means innocent then
CO_Miller says:
@::notices that he's pacing back and forth down the corridor::
AdmAlex says:
JAG: Agreed.
Adm_Savek says:
JAG:: We are here to find out what occurred more than to find fault
AdmAlex says:
CPO Hodges, please call CMO Starr.
CTO_Selan says:
::Sits and watches Eagle respond, and thinks about Shania::
EOKellenw says:
@::leans against a wall, reading something on a PADD::
CPOHodges says:
::walks out of the room::
JAG_Eagle says:
::sits respectively::
CPOHodges says:
CMO: Would you come with me, please? ::walks back in::
SO_Nes says:
@::decides to sit down::
CMOStarr says:
::tugs on collar while waiting to be called::
CEOTPaula says:
@::stands quietly::
CMOStarr says:
::follows the CPO into the courtroom::
Adm_Savek says:
::waits::
CPOHodges says:
CMO: Raise your right hand, please.
CTO_Selan says:
::Watches as Chief Medical Officer Starr proceeds into the courtroom, wonders about his leg for one moment::
CMOStarr says:
::raises my right hand::
CPOHodges says:
CMO: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
CMOStarr says:
CPO:  I do
CPOHodges says:
::goes back to his place::
CMOStarr says:
::takes her seat::
Adm_Savek says:
CMO: What was the accused state of health prior to this occurrence ?
CMOStarr says:
ADM:  I cannot answer that, being that I have just been assigned to the Scorpius on the day that Shinar took over the ship.
SO_Nes says:
@::thinks about lying down, realizes its impossible::
CTO_Selan says:
::Listens to the question, wonders about the CMO's response::
AdmAlex says:
CMO: Please state only what you have personally seen and heard concerning Shinar/Selan.
Adm_Savek says:
::nods::  Have you any Factual information that you can deliver that is relevant to this case ?
CMOStarr says:
ADM: I have not seen or heard anything concerning Selan or Shinar.
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: So, have you determined that emotions are a good thing, yet?
JAG_Eagle says:
Admirals:  The CMO is therefore not qualified to issue an evaluation
CO_Miller says:
::continues walking up the corridor, not noticing where he is walking, and almost walks into the SO::  SO:  I'm sorry Shania, guess I'd better pay attention to where I'm going.
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: I will admit that they have some ... uses.
AdmAlex says:
CMO: So your knowledge only includes his treatment after he was returned to the Scorpius by the traveler?
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: And do you agree that laughter is good for you?
SO_Nes says:
CO: No problem sir.
CO_Miller says:
@SO:  So how are you holding up Shania?
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: Perhaps in some cases.  I am sure you have evidence to support that.
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: So, are you going to laugh once a day now?
CMOStarr says:
ADM:  Yes Madam. I can only describe to you his treatment and current state of health. Which is good.  He has regain his missing telepathic ability and his prosthetic is on order with Starfleet Medical Command.
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: No.
Adm_Savek says:
::nods::
CEOTPaula says:
@::does not follow the chain of reasoning::
SO_Nes says:
@CO: I'm ok sir, still a bit weak, but improving steadily.
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: Why not?
AdmAlex says:
To conclude then, you have no knowledge of Selan's mental or physical health before this episode?
CMOStarr says:
ADM:  Yes Madam that is correct.
CO_Miller says:
@SO:  That's good to hear Shania.  I'd hate to have you out for any length of time.
Adm_Savek says:
CMO: What was his condition when he came back aboard after this , er, "adventure ?
JAG_Eagle says:
Objection to word adventure
Adm_Savek says:
::nods:: OK then Event
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: I do not believe I could find something humorous enough to induce genuine laughter, so frequently.
SO_Nes says:
@::smiles:: CO: I'll try not to be out of action too long sir, I will be attending therapy for my arm for a while.
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: Why not?
TO_Calder says:
@EO: I require your assistance.
EOKellenw says:
@::looks up from his PADD:: TO: With what?
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: ::looks somewhat blank:: It would require more effort than I am willing to devote.
CO_Miller says:
@SO:  Good.  And now, may I ask, how are you holding up with this trial?
TO_Calder says:
@EO: I need a humorous holodeck program created.
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: I do not think that will be necessary.
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: And what better way do you have to spend your time?
CMOStarr says:
ADM: The CTO was completely covered from head to foot with mircomia.  The same goo that newborn infants are born covered in.  He had a severe laceration across his torso and several other lacerations all over his body.  He was missing his prosthetic leg and was having difficulty breathing.
EOKellenw says:
@::grins:: TO: Is that all? Any specific parameters?
Adm_Savek says:
::makes notes::
SO_Nes says:
@CO: I don't know sir, a lot depends on the outcome.
TO_Calder says:
@EO: not really.
EOKellenw says:
@TO: Just something humorous? Alright.
Adm_Savek says:
JAG: Your witness
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: Making triply sure the antimatter stays confined to areas which are designed to hold it.
CO_Miller says:
@::raises eyebrow::  SO:  And that would be?
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: Don't you have engineers qualified for that task?
CEOTPaula says:
@EO: And I do not trust your sense of humor.
JAG_Eagle says:
CMO: Did Shinar control an entire starship by himself?
EOKellenw says:
@CEO: You wound me, Chief.
EOKellenw says:
@CEO: Most people think I'm a barrel of laughs.
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: Are you suggesting my engineers are more qualified than I?
SO_Nes says:
@::frowns slightly:: CO: The CTO's verdict, if he's found guilty what will the punishment be? It will affect the ship, the crew, and me personally.
CMOStarr says:
Jag:  I cannot answer that question.  Only hearsay evidence could I answer that.
CEOTPaula says:
@EO: My apologies, but the fact remains.
EOKellenw says:
@CEO: Let me guess. More of that 'logic'?
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: Not at all. Just that they are there for you to put to use, so that you can do things not on your shift.
JAG_Eagle says:
CMO: did Shinar control crewmembers within your sight?
CMOStarr says:
JAG:  No Sir
Adm_Savek says:
JAG: Please limit your line of Questioning to factual matters , not about something that a witness may not have any knowledge of
CTO_Selan says:
::Listens on with a frown, Shinar's memories in the back of his mind::
CO_Miller says:
@SO:  You've got to keep a positive mind Shania.  We are all that he's got right now, and you don't want him sensing any signs of negativity, do you?  All we can do is take things one step at a time.
JAG_Eagle says:
ADM: the witness is a CMO and can testify to evidence of control
CEOTPaula says:
@TO: There are other ways to spend my off duty time.
TO_Calder says:
@CEO: like?
EOKellenw says:
@CEO: Frowning is not a way to spend time, sir
Adm_Savek says:
JAG: True , but as she is rated rather low on the PSI scales relatively it would be limited at best
AdmAlex says:
Jag: The objection is overruled.  The CMO has stated what she has and has not seen.  Move on.
CEOTPaula says:
@EO: Frowning?
SO_Nes says:
@CO: Yes sir, I didn't mean it that way exactly. I'm not being negative, just looking at the least positive angle of the situation. I just pray I won't have to use it.
CEOTPaula says:
@::raises eyebrow at TO::
EOKellenw says:
@CEO: Well, what else could you possibly do? You have frowning down to an art.
CEOTPaula says:
@EO: I disagree.
TO_Calder says:
@::raises his eyebrow right back at the CEO::
CO_Miller says:
@::smiles::  SO:  Don't worry Shania, you won't have to.
Adm_Savek says:
JAG: Any more questions ?
SO_Nes says:
@CO: I hope so sir.
JAG_Eagle says:
ADM: no further questions
EOKellenw says:
@CEO: Do you? Frankly, sir, I think your frown is the best of all of Starfleet. And that is hard to achieve.
AdmAlex says:
CMO: You are dismissed.
Adm_Savek says:
CMO: The witness is excused
CMOStarr says:
::leaves the chair and walks out of the courtroom::
CEOTPaula says:
@::closes her eyes for a second to maintain her patience::
Adm_Savek says:
CPO: Try to screen out those who have no first hand information , we can get done sooner
CTO_Selan says:
::Watches as the CMO leaves the court-room::
CPOHodges says:
::exits the room::
AdmAlex says:
CPO: Call CSO Tsalea.
EOKellenw says:
@::turns to walk away from the conversation, and accidentally trips Tsalea::
CPOHodges says:
@CSO: Please come with me... ack!!
CO_Miller says:
@SO:  Will you excuse me, please?
SO_Nes says:
@CO: Yes sir.
Tsalea says:
::falls and hits her head against the floor::
SO_Nes says:
@::hears a slight thud and turns to look::
ACTION:
BLOOD BEGINS TO POUR FROM TSALEA'S SKULL.
CO_Miller says:
@::as he turns around, he sees Tsalea fall to the floor, and runs over that way::
CPOHodges says:
@*MEDICAL* Medical emergency!!
EOKellenw says:
@::erks and stares::
CEOTPaula says:
@::looks up::
SO_Nes says:
@::moves as quickly as possible to T's side::
CMOStarr says:
::see Tsalea falling and rushes over with medkit in hand::
TO_Calder says:
@::runs to Tsalea and tries to assess the situation::
CTO_Selan says:
::Wonders why T'salea has not entered the Court-room::
CMOStarr says:
CO:  Emergency beam to sickbay please
Adm_Savek says:
::waits and looks over notes ::
CTO_Selan says:
::Turns around to look, but the doorway is closed off, cannot see anything beyond it::
CO_Miller says:
@CMO:  Get her to sickbay now Dr.!
EOKellenw says:
@ I didn't see her behind me.....
CEOTPaula says:
@::sees blood and tries to stay out of the way of the people who have more medical training than she does::
ACTION:
The CMO and CSO are beamed to sickbay.
CPOHodges says:
::walks back into the court room::
Adm_Savek says:
::looks up at the pale CPO ::
CO_Miller says:
@EO:  What just happened here, Mr. Kellenway?
CTO_Selan says:
::Watches as the CPO re--enters the courtroom, with no one else behind him::
CPOHodges says:
Admirals: Do to unfortunate circumstances, Tsalea will not be able to join us at this time.
AdmAlex says:
::notices the CPO entering with no one::
Adm_Savek says:
::REB::
CTO_Selan says:
::Frowns at the mention of "unfortunate circumstances"::
EOKellenw says:
@CO: Sir...I just turned around, and she was standing right behind me...I think we tangled, and she fell....I'm sorry
SO_Nes says:
@::listens to the EO::
CEOTPaula says:
@::watches Kellenway::
CO_Miller says:
@EO:  I certainly hope that you will be more careful in the future, Ensign!
TO_Calder says:
@::stands up::
AdmAlex says:
CPO: Where is my witness?
Adm_Savek says:
::sighs:: Adm : Who is next on the list ?
EOKellenw says:
@CO: Yes, sir. I'm very sorry, sir.
CPOHodges says:
Admiral: She is in sick bay. She was injured, it looked severe.
AdmAlex says:
::looks over at Savek::~~~~Strange, wouldn't you say?~~~~
JAG_Eagle says:
Admiral: Let the record show the defense wished to call her and we have an information gap
AdmAlex says:
JAG: So noted.
CO_Miller says:
@::looks at the EO and then over to the CEO, and turns away::
AdmAlex says:
CPO: Call SO Nes.
Adm_Savek says:
JAG: Agreed, but let us hope for her full recovery
CPOHodges says:
::nods and departs::
CEOTPaula says:
@::wonders what the CO is thinking::
CPOHodges says:
@SO: Come with me, please...
SO_Nes says:
@::walks with the CPO::
EOKellenw says:
@::carefully moves to the wall, and avoids looking at anyone for the moment.::
CTO_Selan says:
::Did not realize Shania was released from sick-bay, turns suddenly, causing some pain for him, to look::
CPOHodges says:
SO: Raise your right hand, please.
SO_Nes says:
::raises  her right hand::
CPOHodges says:
SO: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
CTO_Selan says:
::Is relieved she is all right, smiles slightly::
SO_Nes says:
CPO: I do.
CPOHodges says:
::walks back to his place::
JAG_Eagle says:
::reassures Selan::
CO_Miller says:
@::goes back toward the CEO::  CEO:  T'Paula, may I ask what was so interesting over here that Ensign Kellenway did not pay attention?
CTO_Selan says:
::Nods at Eagle::
CEOTPaula says:
@CO: I'm sorry, sir, I'm afraid the conversation had lost me to some degree.
EOKellenw says:
@::overhears the Captain, and listens, while appearing to examine his shoes.::
AdmAlex says:
::receives a message over her computer that the CSO is now conscious.  She will return shortly:: Adm Savek:  Look at this::points to his computer screen.
TO_Calder says:
@::notes the blood on his slacks and the cuffs of his uniform... wonders if he has time to get another one before being called::
Adm_Savek says:
::nods::
CO_Miller says:
@CEO:  The three of you seemed pretty deep in conversation, and you were lost?
Adm_Savek says:
JAG: We will soon have our witness back it seems
CEOTPaula says:
@CO: More or less, sir.
JAG_Eagle says:
Admiral: thank goodness for her health
AdmAlex says:
SO: Please state for the record, if there have been any personality changes in CTO Selan that you have noticed over the past few weeks.
TO_Calder says:
@CO: Sir, Ensign Kellenway and I were attempting to convince Lieutenant T'Paula of the joys of laughing.
Adm_Savek says:
SO: What do you know of a factual matter of this case ?
CTO_Selan says:
::Listens onto the questions::
CEOTPaula says:
@::thankful for Calder's intervention::
JAG_Eagle says:
Objection: Science officer is not a trained psychologist
Adm_Savek says:
Sustained
CO_Miller says:
@TO:  The joys of what?  Don't you think that should be T'Paula's choice?
SO_Nes says:
JAG: Firstly, there have been changes to Selan, but not an overall personality shift. Secondly I was telepathically linked to both the XO and CSO who were aboard the Scorpius and then The Algernon Device.
TO_Calder says:
@CO: Yes, sir. But one can not make a choice without the evidence to both sides!
Adm_Savek says:
::looks at the Adm ::
AdmAlex says:
Jag: This witness has a person relationship with the accused.  She of all people would notice a difference.
JAG_Eagle says:
Admiral: move to strike, there has been a divided ruling
AdmAlex says:
Agreed, strike the statement from the record.
CO_Miller says:
@TO:  T'Paula is a very bright and talented person, I'm sure she knows what she is doing.
TO_Calder says:
@CO: Yes, sir!
AdmAlex says:
SO Nes:  Please testify to what you have seen or heard, not hearsay or telepathy.
CEOTPaula says:
@::tries not to look uncertain::
CO_Miller says:
@TO:  Is this what you think of Vulcans?
AdmAlex says:
SO: Do you have a personal relationship with the accused?
Adm_Savek says:
JAG: The other Admiral laying evidence that she had a personal relationship with the accused would then give her more intimate insight into the mans circumstances , the court shall take under advisement that fact
CSOTsalea says:
::slowly looks up at the doctor wondering what she is doing here::
SO_Nes says:
JAG: To the second question, I was aboard the Ki'Paq at the time and did not see anything first-hand. Yes I do have a personal relationship with the accused.
TO_Calder says:
@CO: I personally think that logic and restraint of emotion have their place. But that the perfect combination is somewhere in between the two opposites.
CTO_Selan says:
::Raises an eyebrow slightly at the questions, still looking on::
AdmAlex says:
<CMO>: CSO: You have a head injury, but you must take it easy.  Can you walk alone or do you need assistance?
JAG_Eagle says:
::listens intently::
AdmAlex says:
SO: Have you noticed a difference in Selan's personality?
CO_Miller says:
@TO:  And that is your belief....may I suggest you keep your beliefs to yourself!
CSOTsalea says:
::starts to sit up and closes here eyes for a moment, then turns to the edge of the table::
JAG_Eagle says:
Objection: calls for a medical conclusion
TO_Calder says:
@CO: Is that an order, sir?
CSOTsalea says:
CMO:  I am well.
AdmAlex says:
Objection overruled.  This is first hand knowledge.
SO_Nes says:
AdmAlex: Prior to the event I noticed that Selan was not his usual self, he appeared 'absent' at times. However, there was no distinct change in his personality.
Adm_Savek says:
JAG: While it is true she has no medical training she would be able to attest to a mood shift , unless you contend she is inert ?
CO_Miller says:
@::quickly turns his head and looks at the TO::  TO:  I would prefer not to make it one, but if need be.......
TO_Calder says:
@CO: Understood.
JAG_Eagle says:
Admiral: I am satisfied with her answer
AdmAlex says:
SO: So personally, you were not aware of the person or entity known as Shinar?
SO_Nes says:
AdmAlex: I was not, I found out after the initial event.
AdmAlex says:
<CMO>: CSO: You may leave, but take it easy, if you get dizzy, come back immediately.
Adm_Savek says:
::nods and makes notes ::
CSOTsalea says:
::Gets off the table and stands still for a moment getting reoriented::  CMO:  Very well doctor
AdmAlex says:
Admiral, any questions?
Adm_Savek says:
SO: And During the events in Question , How did he treat you ?
CTO_Selan says:
::Eyebrow raises higher::
JAG_Eagle says:
Objection: relevance?
SO_Nes says:
Adm_Savek: Are you referring to CTO Tracianolus or Shinar?
AdmAlex says:
::looks to Savek::
CSOTsalea says:
::carefully heads towards the exit and back to the SB::
Adm_Savek says:
JAG: Might show if he was playing or had had a radical personality shift
CO_Miller says:
@TO:  May I ask why you came into a conversation I was having with T'Paula?
JAG_Eagle says:
ADM: that would be a medical conclusion I renew my objection to this line of questions
Adm_Savek says:
SO: The accused after the Events began
OPS_TKerl says:
::meets up with Tsalea outside of sickbay::
AdmAlex says:
Objection sustained.  Witness has testified she did not detect any difference in his personality.
TO_Calder says:
@CO: To speak up for Ensign Kellenway, who seems to have made himself scarce.
CEOTPaula says:
@::watches TO and CO::
SO_Nes says:
Adm_Savek: The accused was not the being who tried to destroy the universe.
Adm_Savek says:
SO: That is conjecture and not admissible
EOKellenw says:
@::lifts his head, and decides to speak: TO: Calder, don't get yourself into trouble for me.
AdmAlex says:
That statement will be stricken from the record.
CO_Miller says:
@::looks around for the EO::  TO:  Yes, he seems to have made himself scarce, hasn't he?  But I don't think Ensign Kellenway needs anyone to speak up for him.
AdmAlex says:
Admiral any further questions?
JAG_Eagle says:
ADM: objection I would like to hear her basis for the statement
Adm_Savek says:
::shakes head no ::
CSOTsalea says:
::looks over at T'Kerl and nods::
SO_Nes says:
Adm_Savek: You would understand if you had been there. It is highly unusual, but I would like a mind-meld submitted to this court.
TO_Calder says:
@CO: Considering the event, I would beg to differ....
OPS_TKerl says:
::goes back to SB64 with T::
Adm_Savek says:
::REB::
AdmAlex says:
Jag: Your witness, just make sure you do NOT cover any of the ground already presented.
JAG_Eagle says:
ADM: I am entitled to present my theory of the case
CO_Miller says:
@TO:  And just how is that Mr. Calder?
Adm_Savek says:
JAGL: Agreed
OPS_TKerl says:
@Have you been ill Tsalea?
AdmAlex says:
JAG: You are entitled to cross-examine, not recover old territory!
JAG_Eagle says:
SO: what was the basis for your statement that Selan was not Shinar?
Adm_Savek says:
ADM: He is allowed to illuminate territory already covered, if relevant
CSOTsalea says:
@OPS:  No.  It would appear I had a collision with an expected force... Ens. Kellenway.
AdmAlex says:
Of course, I stated poorly.
CTO_Selan says:
::Listens on, slightly worried about how this is affecting Shania::
AdmAlex says:
SO: Answer the Jag's question.
OPS_TKerl says:
@Tsalea: You are ok then?
SO_Nes says:
JAG_Eagle: No matter what stress CTO Tracianolus was under, he would not kill me. Quite the contrary he is scared that some action of his might result in my death.
TO_Calder says:
@CO: Ensign Kellenway was involved in an incident that caused injury to an officer. Since it was an accident, he deserves someone to defend him
CSOTsalea says:
@OPS:  I am well.  Thank you.
CO_Miller says:
@TO:  If it were an accident, then he should need no one to defend him!
Adm_Savek says:
JAG: Conjectural
OPS_TKerl says:
@Tsalea: Would you like for me to accompany you back to the star base?
SO_Nes says:
JAG_Eagle: Therefore, I believe that he was possessed, not himself and this can be proven in other instances.
EOKellenw says:
@::frowns at the Captain, and approaches the conversation::
AdmAlex says:
SO: Was your last statement conjecture or stated to you by CTO Selan?
JAG_Eagle says:
ADM: it covers her knowledge of their relationship which the Court opened up
TO_Calder says:
@::motions to the courtroom, and makes a face indication no other explanation is necessary::
SO_Nes says:
::wonders if she faints she'll be excused::
Adm_Savek says:
JAG: Yes, but is based on a supposition by the witness
CSOTsalea says:
@OPS:  You are welcome to join me.  Have you settled in?
AdmAlex says:
SO: Your answer?
OPS_TKerl says:
@CSO: Yes and I have had a very informative tour with the Officer of the Day.
CO_Miller says:
@EO:  Ensign, do you always need someone to defend yourself?  This is not how you do your job in Engineering, is it?
SO_Nes says:
AdmAlex: I believe that was my answer ma'am, no disrespect intended.
CTO_Selan says:
::Frowns at the Admiral's question::
AdmAlex says:
SO: Did Selan make that statement to you?
EOKellenw says:
@CO: With all due respect, Captain, Calder is speaking of his own will. While I appreciate the gesture made by him, I can, and do, speak for myself. SIR.
SO_Nes says:
AdmAlex: Which statement are you referring to ma'am?
CSOTsalea says:
@OPS:  Did they take you to the arboretum?
CEOTPaula says:
@::listening attentively but not saying anything::
AdmAlex says:
SO: That he was afraid of hurting you?
CO_Miller says:
@EO:  I certainly hope so Ensign!
SO_Nes says:
AdmAlex: Yes he has told me ma'am.
OPS_TKerl says:
@CSO: No we mainly toured the operations of the ship.
EOKellenw says:
@CO: Permission to speak freely, sir?
AdmAlex says:
JAG: Continue with your questions, it will be admitted into evidence.
CO_Miller says:
@EO:  Granted.
SO_Nes says:
AdmAlex: I'd like to clarify that he thought his actions, not himself may hurt me.
JAG_Eagle says:
ADM: nothing further
AdmAlex says:
SO you are dismissed!
CSOTsalea says:
@OPS:  At another time I will take you.  It is an ongoing project of mine.  ::sees the crew up ahead::
AdmAlex says:
CPO: Call CSO Tsalea.
EOKellenw says:
@CO: Sir, what just happened was tragic, yes, but it was an accident. It has no bearing on what we were discussing, and not to be rude, sir, but it was a conversation the three of us were in on. 
SO_Nes says:
::nods and leaves the room::
CPOHodges says:
::leaves to get the next witness::
JAG_Eagle says:
ADM: If I may
CPOHodges says:
@::looks around for the CSO::
OPS_TKerl says:
@CSO: I would enjoy seeing it. ::sees the crew in the hall::
AdmAlex says:
::nods to the Jag::
EOKellenw says:
@CO: The Chief's participation was her choice, and you have no right to restrict what we choose to discuss.
CTO_Selan says:
::Watches as Shania leaves the room, follows her with his eyes the entire way out::
CPOHodges says:
@CSO: ::moves quickly to her location:: would you come with me, please?
JAG_Eagle says:
ADM: I have submitted a written brief, I believe we can clear this up if the judges, myself and Selan enter a mind meld
SO_Nes says:
::looks at Selan, mouths "Sorry"::
Adm_Savek says:
::makes notes::
CSOTsalea says:
@::nods to CPO and follows him::
Adm_Savek says:
::REB::
AdmAlex says:
JAG: A mind meld?  Your client is volunteering for this procedure?
CPOHodges says:
@::walks back inside the room::
CTO_Selan says:
::Nods at Shania, mouths: "It is all right. Always, it will be all right." A lot to mouth::
Adm_Savek says:
::looks at Selan ::
SO_Nes says:
::trys to smile::
CO_Miller says:
@EO:  Not once did I fault you Ensign!  As far as not having a bearing on what you were discussing, that could be up for debate.  If you were not so deep into conversation, you might have seen Tsalea there behind you.  Is there anything else you wish to tell me?
JAG_Eagle says:
ADM: he has, Selan: you agree to the meld as we discussed?
EOKellenw says:
@CO: Yes sir.
SO_Nes says:
::leaves room::
Adm_Savek says:
Selan : Do you freely volunteer for this ?
CTO_Selan says:
Savek: Aye, sir.
Adm_Savek says:
::sighs::
CO_Miller says:
@EO:  I have EVERY right to do that Ensign!  Is that understood?
EOKellenw says:
@CO: The fact I did not see Tsalea standing behind me, is because I was concentrating on what I was doing. If I spent all my time checking over my shoulder, what kind of Engineer would I be? An ineffective one.
JAG_Eagle says:
ADM: If it pleases the court I submit his consent form
Adm_Savek says:
JAG: Noted
AdmAlex says:
~~~~Well, what do you think? This will be setting a new precedence!~~~~
CSOTsalea says:
::enters the courtroom and wonders what is going on::
JAG_Eagle says:
::sits and motions for Selan to sit::
EOKellenw says:
@CO: No sir. I do not understand that.
Adm_Savek says:
~~~Adm : Might be a fast way to go either way though ~~~
CTO_Selan says:
::Sits::
CEOTPaula says:
@::hopes this is not going to be a prolonged conflict::
CO_Miller says:
@EO:  Tell me what it is you do not understand?  Let me see if I can clear something up for you.
AdmAlex says:
~~~~I agree, but I wish Tsalea to join in the meld.  She may be the crux to this whole affair~~~~
OPS_TKerl says:
@::moves over to stand with the rest of the crew::
Adm_Savek says:
~~~Agreed~~~
JAG_Eagle says:
::submits memorandum of law regarding the meld to the clerk::
EOKellenw says:
@CO: How you can dictate what is expectable conversation, and what is not. Since when does Starfleet practice censorship, sir?
AdmAlex says:
CSO: Tsalea, the defense has offered to meld with Savek and myself, and I wish you to participate. Do you agree?
Adm_Savek says:
~~~But she has to agree also ~~~
CO_Miller says:
@EO:  You are way out of line here Mr. Kellenway, I suggest you drop this!
EOKellenw says:
@CO: Sir?
CSOTsalea says:
::looks carefully at the Admiral and then at Selan::  Adm: I will participate.
Adm_Savek says:
CPO: Dismiss the others
AdmAlex says:
CSO: Very well, CPO, administer the oath.
TO_Calder says:
@CO: With all due respect, sir! Kellenway has a point!!
JAG_Eagle says:
ADM: If it pleases the court I have an extra consent form for the CSO
SO_Nes says:
@::notices the CO is slightly on edge, walks over to him and the EO::
EOKellenw says:
@TO: Calder, please. For your own sake, stay out of this.
TO_Calder says:
@EO: I will not!
CPOHodges says:
CSO: Please raise your right hand.
CSOTsalea says:
::raises right hand::
CPOHodges says:
CSO: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
CTO_Selan says:
::Watches on::
EOKellenw says:
@::turns back to the CO:: CO: Sir, you asked me to explain what I don’t understand. I am not out of line, sir.
SO_Nes says:
@CO/EO/TO: What's happening?
CSOTsalea says:
CPO:  Of course
AdmAlex says:
CSO: Please sign the consent form.
CPOHodges says:
::goes to dismiss the other people::
CSOTsalea says:
::signs the form::
CEOTPaula says:
@TO/EO: Please.  CO: If I may, sir?
TO_Calder says:
@SO: we are having a discussion, which currently is on Federation and Starfleet censorship policies.
AdmAlex says:
ALL: We will sit in a circle, and Admiral Savek and I will lead the way into Selan's mind.  Is this agreed?
CPOHodges says:
@Hallway: You are all dismissed.
SO_Nes says:
@TO: Sounds like fun, mind if I join in? I feel like a pin cushion the way they questioned me.
CSOTsalea says:
::nods::
CTO_Selan says:
Admiral Alexander: Aye, ma'am.
Adm_Savek says:
::walks up and rearranges some chairs ::
SO_Nes says:
@::looks at the CPO and nods::
JAG_Eagle says:
ADM: Agreed, ::looks over at Selan::
CEOTPaula says:
@::wonders briefly why the SO thinks this is fun::
TO_Calder says:
@SO: I have no problem with that. However the CO seems to.
CO_Miller says:
@::looks over to the CEO::  CEO:  Yes T'Paula?
Adm_Savek says:
Selan: Sit here next to me
CTO_Selan says:
::Gets up via crutches, and walks over to the circle::
JAG_Eagle says:
::helps Selan::
AdmAlex says:
Tsalea, you will join with the Admiral after he has begun with Selan.  I will join with the Jag officer and bring him to you and Savek.  Agreed?
SO_Nes says:
@::looks at CO:: CO: Debate format? ::knows this is a serious conversation, but with her just being released from SB thinks he'll take it easy on her::
CO_Miller says:
@TO:  I would suggest you watch your tone with me Mr. Calder!
CEOTPaula says:
@EO/TO: You both have points.  I believe Lieutenant Calder was saying something earlier about the ideal being between the extremes that had a certain logic to it.
CSOTsalea says:
::nods and takes her place::
CTO_Selan says:
::Nods a thanks to Eagle, and sits next to Savek::
Adm_Savek says:
::closes eyes and centers himself ::
SO_Nes says:
@::maybe not::
TO_Calder says:
@CO: Sir......
AdmAlex says:
::closes her eyes, calms herself and reaches mentally for the Jag::
CTO_Selan says:
::Closes eyes as well::
CSOTsalea says:
::centers herself waiting for the admiral to proceed::
JAG_Eagle says:
::opens his mind to Adm Alex::
Adm_Savek says:
::grasps Selans hand in his and the JAGs with the other ::
EOKellenw says:
@CO: Sir, everyone is a bit stressed lately. I do apologize for my tone.
AdmAlex says:
::senses the Jag and takes him with her as she enters Savek's and Tsalea's minds::
CTO_Selan says:
::Feels the others begin to enter his mind::
CEOTPaula says:
@::thinks this is a perfect example of the disadvantages to emotion::
Adm_Savek says:
::begins the trip and starts to resonate with Selan's Consciousness ::
CSOTsalea says:
::centered and waiting, listening::
Adm_Savek says:
:::thinking the metronomic mind to mind consciousness to consciousness ::
AdmAlex says:
~~~~We are ready Savek~~~~
Adm_Savek says:
::Opens Selans mind to the others ::
CEOTPaula says:
@::doesn't say anything due to what the CO said earlier about keeping one's beliefs to oneself::
EOKellenw says:
@CO: Permission to be dismissed, sir?
CO_Miller says:
@EO:  Yes, Ensign we are all pretty stressed, but that does not give you the right to question my orders.  Dismissed!
AdmAlex says:
::sees the scenes in Selan's mind of many months previous to the incident::
SO_Nes says:
@::senses a lot of telepathic usage, prepares herself for any stray thoughts::
Adm_Savek says:
::brings them back though memories of the past few months time ::
TO_Calder says:
@::follows Kellenway to wherever he is going::
JAG_Eagle says:
::watches::
EOKellenw says:
@::shakes his head, and leaves the hallway, heading towards the nearest route back to the Scorpius.::
SO_Nes says:
@CO: What are we doing now?
CO_Miller says:
@TO:  Mr. Calder, you and I will have a private discussion in my RR after this is over.  Is that understood?
Adm_Savek says:
:::"Feels" an intruder lurking in memory ::
CTO_Selan says:
::Feels the memories of the past months flowing into the others minds, does not feel good about this, but allows it::
TO_Calder says:
@CO: Yes, SIR!
Adm_Savek says:
~~Do you note that ?~~~
CEOTPaula says:
@::looks at the various individuals involved::
AdmAlex says:
~~~~Tsalea, is what we are seeing true as far as you know?~~~~
AdmAlex says:
~~~~Yes Savek, I sense another's presence~~~~
CSOTsalea says:
~~~~Yes Admiral~~~~
JAG_Eagle says:
~~~comforts Selan~~~
EOKellenw says:
@::turns to Calder as soon as they are out of earshot:: TO: Thanks for what you did. I'm sorry it got you in trouble.
AdmAlex says:
::watches the memories of Selan as Shinar begins to take over, without Selan's conscious awareness::
Adm_Savek says:
~~Alex : Come back with me to see the root ~~~
TO_Calder says:
@EO: Nothing serious. I just violated nearly everything I believe as far as orders and command.
AdmAlex says:
~~~~I follow Savek~~~~
CO_Miller says:
@CEO:  T'Paula, I want you to give whatever assignments you must to Ensign Kellenway, to keep him out of trouble.
CSOTsalea says:
~~~~Admiral, this was the entity aboard the Scorpius~~~~
CEOTPaula says:
@CO: Out of trouble, sir?
AdmAlex says:
::nods to Tsalea mentally::
Adm_Savek says:
::travels backward to the foreshadowing ::
EOKellenw says:
@TO: I know. But Captain Miller asked my opinion, and then got offended by it. Makes no sense to me.
JAG_Eagle says:
~~~monitor's Selan~~~
TO_Calder says:
@EO: He appears VERY stressed today.
CO_Miller says:
@CEO:  Just keep him busy with what tasks need to be done.  Is that understood?
AdmAlex says:
~~~~My God Savek, this entity has been with him since childhood!~~~~
Adm_Savek says:
~~Here it/he/she came~~
CEOTPaula says:
@CO: You mean he is to be kept busier than he already is, sir?
EOKellenw says:
@TO: Understandable. But even still, it technically had nothing to do with him at all.
JAG_Eagle says:
::nods in awe::
Adm_Savek says:
~~We have seen what we must ~~~
TO_Calder says:
@EO: When people are stressed, they can do lots of things.
CO_Miller says:
@CEO:  What am I not making clear to you?
AdmAlex says:
~~~~Bring us to what happened on this last mission Savek~~~~
EOKellenw says:
@TO: I expect something will appear on my record after this. Wonderful.
Adm_Savek says:
::Brings them to a period of about a month prior ::
CEOTPaula says:
@CO: How busy do you wish him kept, sir?
TO_Calder says:
@EO: I have a meeting in his ready room.... considering I already have a mark on my record....
Adm_Savek says:
::allows time to flow at a rapid clip ::
AdmAlex says:
::senses Dr Paine walking around everyone, monitoring them::
CEOTPaula says:
@CO: Or rather, what do you mean by "out of trouble"?
EOKellenw says:
@TO: First the court martial, then the accident, now this. Can this week go ANY worse???
TO_Calder says:
@EO: Were you onboard with the Kazon attacks?
CTO_Selan says:
::Tenses at the images of his childhood... him reading the reports of Wolf 359... learning about his mother's death... and then to be thrown head-first into the future, years ahead::
AdmAlex says:
::sees the horror of what the now separated Shinar has done::
EOKellenw says:
@TO: Yes. Those took place the day after I was transferred to the S
CO_Miller says:
@CEO:  I am not going to explain myself, just make sure it gets done.
TO_Calder says:
@EO: Then you know it can get worse.
JAG_Eagle says:
~~~comforts Selan, provides support~~~
Adm_Savek says:
~~I think it is clear what is needed here ~~
AdmAlex says:
~~~~Agreed Admiral~~~~
CEOTPaula says:
@CO: I will carry out your orders as best I can, sir.
CSOTsalea says:
::remains calm, divorcing herself from the events relived::
Adm_Savek says:
~~All Back to yourselves~~
CO_Miller says:
@CEO:  Thank you T'Paula.
EOKellenw says:
@TO: I wonder....maybe the more pips on your collar you have, the tighter the collar gets. That would account for the attitude of the Captain.
AdmAlex says:
::begins the separation from the others::
CTO_Selan says:
::Feels the others release themselves from his mind::
Adm_Savek says:
::takes hands from the others ::
CEOTPaula says:
@CO: Of course, sir.
AdmAlex says:
::slowly opens her eyes::
JAG_Eagle says:
::separates::
CSOTsalea says:
::opens eyes from the now ended meld::
CTO_Selan says:
::Opens his eyes, looks down at his crutches, preparing to use them to lift himself up::
TO_Calder says:
@EO: It could be. I won't mind too much getting demoted. Being a junior officer is nice. Not as much power, but you know where you stand.
Adm_Savek says:
JAG: It is my recommendation that the Scorpius have a Cnslr assigned aboard soonest and further .....
EOKellenw says:
@TO: Stand? And here I thought I was just driven to my knees.
EOKellenw says:
@::imitates CO Miller cracking a whip::
Adm_Savek says:
JAG: That he have a TAD assignment at Adm Heinlein's Training Facility
TO_Calder says:
@EO: Same thing just about.
SO_Nes says:
@::as she's being totally ignored (not that she minds in the CO's present mood) she moves to a seat and sits down::
CTO_Selan says:
::Wonders what Admiral Alexander... Admiral Savek and Lt. Commander T'salea for the matter, think of him now... did not like the idea of having them enter his mind, but decided it would be best anyway::
EOKellenw says:
@::grins::
CEOTPaula says:
@CO: Am I dismissed, sir?
TO_Calder says:
@EO: He was talking to T'Paula when we left, I wonder if she got the same grilling?
JAG_Eagle says:
ADM: do you recommend to separate him from the Scorpius?
Adm_Savek says:
JAG: And further considering his condition and the needs of the ship be placed as TO until the CMO and Cnslr clear him
CO_Miller says:
@CEO:  Yes T'Paula, you are dismissed.
CTO_Selan says:
::Face is unchanged at the statements... was expecting worse in fact::
CEOTPaula says:
@CO: Thank you sir.  ::leaves for the ship::
EOKellenw says:
@TO: Like it would bother the Chief. But you know, without an opinion, and being as bold as we were, it's amazing that we even survive in the middle of battle. Maybe next time we should wait until we are ordered to move, like puppets.
Adm_Savek says:
JAG: Not at all, but this is something that will help cure him and give him a new "shield"
AdmAlex says:
Admiral, since the Scorpius has no counselor at the moment, The XO is a qualified counselor and can assume those duties.
CSOTsalea says:
ADM:  I have been assigned to work with Lt.  Selan.  Do you still require him to leave the ship?
CTO_Selan says:
::Listens on::
TO_Calder says:
@EO: I used to be that way. Never questioning a single order. One incident changed that. Or rather started that change.
JAG_Eagle says:
ADM: I petition that he be returned to CTO after he is medically certified fit
Adm_Savek says:
CSO: Not at all he will be aboard , just replaced as head of his Dept until he is fully fit once more
AdmAlex says:
CSO: No, he will be staying and training under you with the guidance of the Heinlein course.
EOKellenw says:
@TO: personally, I prefer thinking for myself. When you have to keep a ship held together to save lives, you don’t have time to wait around for someone else to order you.
CSOTsalea says:
::nods her head::
CTO_Selan says:
::Listens on::
AdmAlex says:
ALL: We need to call the Captain in to hear our recommendations.
OPS_TKerl says:
::heads back to the ship with the rest of the crew::
AdmAlex says:
CPO: Call the Captain.
JAG_Eagle says:
Selan: do you understand the recommendation?
CPOHodges says:
::walks out to summon the CO::
TO_Calder says:
@EO: Good point. Adds chaos though. Maybe we should grab an early dinner, and ask T'Paula to join us? It might help the CO to see that we are still friends
CTO_Selan says:
Eagle: Aye, sir. Understand it fully.
CPOHodges says:
@CO: Come with me.
CO_Miller says:
@::follows CPO::
EOKellenw says:
@TO: Forgive me if I want to avoid the Chief right now?
JAG_Eagle says:
Selan: It wasn’t your fault
TO_Calder says:
@EO: Understandable. I guess I am just thinking as a tactical officer still, and this as a battle.
CTO_Selan says:
::Pauses:: Eagle: I... have realized that, sir.
EOKellenw says:
@TO: But you know what I want to do right now, instead?
JAG_Eagle says:
::smiles:: Selan: good
AdmAlex says:
CO: The court recommends extensive counseling with a temporary reduction to TO until he has been cleared by the CNS and doctor.  We have found that he was not responsible and that Shinar acted independently.
Adm_Savek says:
::taps a few buttons on his console while waiting ::
TO_Calder says:
@EO: What is that?
AdmAlex says:
CO: Do you concur?
Adm_Savek says:
::nods::
EOKellenw says:
@TO: Vent some frustration on the holodeck. I have this really great Medieval Knight program.
CO_Miller says:
::hears the words "not responsible" and smiles::  AdmAlex:  Yes Ma'am!
TO_Calder says:
@EO: That sounds intriguing.
EOKellenw says:
@TO: Know anything about King Arthur and the Round Table?
AdmAlex says:
ALL: Then everyone is agreed to the conclusion of these proceedings?
TO_Calder says:
@EO: Who?
CO_Miller says:
::feels this heavy weight being lifted off his shoulders::
JAG_Eagle says:
Selan: I advise you to agree
CTO_Selan says:
::Wonders if he should say no, but then ignores the thought. His own self-blame will get him no-where:: Admiral Alexander: Aye, ma'am.
EOKellenw says:
@::smiles:: TO: I see I have much to teach you, Calder. Plus, it also helps you learn hand-to-hand combat. But being security, you probably know more than I do
Adm_Savek says:
Selan: I have a miniature antigrav sled coming for you to use while you wait on the leg
CTO_Selan says:
Savek: Thank you, sir.
TO_Calder says:
@EO: Probably. I have learned that a phaser rifle is a much better tool, however.
EOKellenw says:
@TO: I agree. But what do you do when you don’t have a phaser handy? Ever had to use a sword?
AdmAlex says:
CTO: My congratulations and I hope to hear good news about you in the future.
AdmAlex says:
~~~~Jared, it has ended well~~~~
CTO_Selan says:
::Forces a smile:: Admiral Alexander: Thank you, ma'am.
TO_Calder says:
@EO: No, I have not...
Adm_Savek says:
Adm : I am sure you might see him when He is at your Husband's Facility ?
CO_Miller says:
::looks over to Admiral Alexander, and smiles::
CEOTPaula says:
@::goes to Engineering to check on things, thinking over recent events almost to the point of worry::
AdmAlex says:
ALL: This court is adjourned.::nods to Savek::
CO_Miller says:
~~~~Admiral, thank you~~~~
JAG_Eagle says:
::stands::
EOKellenw says:
@TO: It's rather primitive, but it may save your life. Meet me at the holodeck?
AdmAlex says:
::rings the bell::
CO_Miller says:
::walks over to Selan::
TO_Calder says:
@EO: I would like to change my uniform first.
CSOTsalea says:
::Turns to Selan::
CTO_Selan says:
::Lifts himself up via the crutches, and sees the Captain approaching::
