The Trial of Captains Sanchez and Taurik

[Taurik]

Taurik whispers to Sanchez for a few moments, both nodding after a while and coming to an agreement. Taurik turns to face the bench.

"The defense appoints Lieutenant Junior Grade William Matthews as it's defense counselor."

[William Taylor]

Ensign Taylor rises with a PADD in his hand.

"The prosecution calls Lt. Commander Baphomet, Chief Science Officer, as the first witness."

[Baphomet]

"To my knowledge Lieutenant Matthews, it was with the expressed desire to help his friend.
But we were not aware of the transport until after the fact."

[Will Matthews]

"Captain, to put my question quite plain, did any action, directly or indirectly, from yourself or Captain Randall Sanchez, cause injury, death, or destruction for any people or peoples?".

[Taurik]

"Yes. However, I would like to point out that the new Loxian administration is grateful for our help. With luck, it may result in a new ally for the Federation in this area."

[Morgan Freeman]

Freeman stood up and moved up to the stand, where he placed his hand on the bioscanner.

The computer responded very shortly. "Identified: Freeman, Morgan, Chief Engineer, U.S.S. Rivendell NCC-84540-B. Starfleet Registry Number 3502-0112-01-D."

[Spock]

*Spock gets up and walks over to near the captains, and told them good luck, nodded to the Admiral panel and leaves for ops*

[Morgan Freeman]

Morgan thinks back in his mind for a moment.

"We arrived at the Evolution, myself and Baphomet gave the captain a few plans on how to disable them.  Then Captain Taurik spoke to Captain Sanchez over the viewscreen for a few moments until Captain Sanchez asked Captain Taurik to transport over to the Evolution to talk to him."

[Morgan Freeman]

Freeman sat on the witness stand for a few moments considering his answer

"To be honest, no I don't think it was prudent.  When the Captain informed us that he was beaming over both Baphomet and myself advised against it.  
To my knowledge the two captains are friends and so I believe that Capain Sanchez included him in his private plans."

[Victor Galindez]

*Galindez sits there and starts to take a real interest in this case*

[Morgan Freeman]

Freeman gets up and leaves the room.

[Vorak]

"Very well. This case is closed."
*Vorak gets up and leaves the room.*

[Nonir]

*Robert came in and found a spot to be seated. He sat and waited for the trial to begin. He looks to Sanchaz and gives him a respectful nod.*

[Baphomet]

"A more accurate statement would be to acertain Captain Sanchez's reasons for his actions, rather than anything else at the time."

[Will Matthews]

"Thank you Captain, no further questions".
