USS Arcadia

[Cptn_LoAmi 0]

After reviewing the evidence at the insistence of the public advocate, the judges find the crew not guilty of kidnapping Ken. Without being able to obtain any further evidence in their defense, the advocate advises he crew to change their plea to guilty on the remaining charges. They are sentenced to work time building cities, and additionally, to time in the ore mines. Al Wyer's objections to the mining sentence are rejected. One of the judges appears to present an exculpatory excuse, but it is not heeded by the two others. After the trial, Ens Riley offers cigarettes to Wyer. He rejects them, saying that he should put them away before the court officers see them -- they are illegal. The crew is led to hovercraft for return to the worksite.

 

On Arcadia, the testing of the root continues. As Captain Lo'Ami tries to explain to Lt Daena the difference in smell between one root and another, Daena sniffs the root and becomes incoherent. Other root vapors leave the hydroponics bay through the ventilation system. Soon, everyone on the ship is affected by the root. Some feel a high, others have varying severe reactions. Sickbay fills rapidly.
