The Trial of Captains Sanchez and Taurik

[Vorak]

OFF: helloooooooooooooo?

[Victor Galindez]

*slipped in through the doors and took a seat up the back of the room and remained quiet*

[Victor Galindez]

*Galindez watched on as the closeing arguements were about to start*

[Will Karelia]

"However, while we have ruled that you are guilty of the charges against you, we also realize that a greater good has come of this. You have helped freedom triumph on a world where such a notion was alien. As such, we are willing to forego the court-martial and imprisonment, but your impending promotion to Admiral is hearby rescinded, and a formal and severe reprimand will be applied to your record as well."

[Richard Ransom]

ooc:there is, if a Starfleet Officer whent to Talos IV it is unless its been  changed

[Will Matthews]

He faced the Admirality panel.
"The point I am attempting to reach, is that Captain Taurik boarded the U.S.S. Evolution with a cause that should not face scrutiny. Meeting personally with Captain Sanchez might have proven more success in swaying his decisions to continue his flight, or return to this station. Boarding the Evolution alone, would be paramount to not showing 'force'. Diplomacy, to solve the problem.

I have no further questions".

[Taurik]

"I admit to what I have done. Whether or not it was a violation of the Prime Directive is a decision only the tribunal can make."

[William Taylor]

"No further questions"

Taylor took a seat.

[Will Karelia]

(OFF: I believe someone has taken the Academy position, but there's no CMO for the Starbase yet. You can use the Rivendell's medical staff for your post-natal care if you'd like.

[Randall Sanchez]

"That is correct. I realize that this may cause reason for debate whether or not I violated the Prime Directive, but even if I did, the most distinguished captains, such as captain Kirk, Picard and Janeway have done so several times before too. Never for their own personal advancement, but always for the greater good. Those were also my intentions, otherwise I would not have put my life on the line. I originally set out to do this alone, I never forced or asked anyone to come with me, and all people that did, did so voluntarily."

[William Taylor]

Taylor rose.

"Admirals, i have no further witnesses to add to my case, i request we make our closing arguments."

[Zayan]

*Zayan holds back her tears, wanting to be strong for their unnamed child.*

[Taurik]

Taurik stood and straightened his uniform in typical Vulcan properness. He moved up to the stand, where he placed his hand on the bioscanner.

The computer responded very shortly. "Identified: Taurik, Captain. Commanding Officer, U.S.S. Rivendell NCC-84540-B. Starfleet Registry Number 2809-0405-04-E."

[Zayan]

OFF: Ok then who is medical officer of the station and who is teaching in the accadamy medical division?

[Will Matthews]

Matthews paced, and looked to the Captain.

"Captain, in your own words, please explain what took place. From the time that you made the decision to leave with the Evolution, to the time that you made for a return to this station, leading us to this".
