Manticore Brief Stardate 52007.27 "N.L.V. Law"
After the trial of the Commander goes off the rails, by any standard, the senior staff awaits the courtroom to find the verdict. The proceedings demonstrated a clear bias of the court. Objections and evidence from the defense were ignored to fast-track to the main event: sentencing. We find the crew, the Commander, and her armed escort making their way back to the courtroom.

We open with: The Crew all gather at the Brig to walk with their Commander to the Courtroom.

Erich Jaenke: :: Sitting at an engineering station on the bridge ::
Kansas Kenickie: you need knife skills to swing these blades.
Callista Tyrel: It's a Tool Utility knife..but that material would be nice to have Commander Kenickie.
Annika Sorenson: Ah.
Callista Tyrel: Well I suppose that is more special operations training to have. :: smiles ::
Kansas Kenickie: Mine is made of Latimum, no one expects money to kill you.
Cmdr JFarrington: Mister Leander, pick a good asteroid to hide us for a while.

Cmdr JFarrington: :::nod::: You have the con. :::stands::: I'll be with Commander Kenickie.

Annika Sorenson: I suppose..
Cmdr JFarrington: :::knowing she has to get it out so she just watches KK::::
Erich Jaenke: Commander?

Cmdr JFarrington: It's not your fault, Kansas.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Stops crying quickly, sniffles, then stands up right:: Erich?
Callista Tyrel: And...getting to know my shipmates better.
Cmdr JFarrington: He's in the lounge.
Annika Sorenson: Yes, on both. It was short but very memorable. Hopefully, our next vacation time will be a little more uneventful.
Cmdr JFarrington: It wasn't your fault, Kansas.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Sighs::: It was my fault, I killed those people... and I never even gave any of them a second thought.
Erich Jaenke: Could have told us you have a past on that planet.
Cmdr JFarrington: If you hadn't killed them, they would have continued killing others. It was your duty, Kansas.
Kansas Kenickie: the Federation need people to do their dirty work, I was their sword
Cmdr JFarrington: :::slow nod:::
Kansas Kenickie: but I didn't think about those lives, it was just a job.
Callista Tyrel: Annika...seriously thank you for what fun we did have down there....as small an amount as it was.
