[Briefing Room.]
Zar had been listening very closely to the proceedings and took notes like had done so many times and about half a dozen court-martials that he had been apart of; at least half of them he had been sitting on the panel and the other half he had been asked to bring up critical information regarding the accused. However this was the first time that he sat on a panel for an investigation from the JAG office and a punshiment of some sort wasn't passed down from the court directly; yet he would make sure that his letter to the JAG's office was formal and full of information and his own personal thoughts.
As he pulled out his padd he quickly started writing up the letter while the other officers were talking, and it said,
' To: Admiral Marcus Allen Graham, Judge Advocate General, Starfleet Command
From: Commander Zar, Chief Tactical Officer, USS Victoria NCC-74963
CC: Admiral Mike Yan, Commanding Officer 7th Fleet, Starfleet Command, Captain Kaim Kurogami, Commanding Officer, USS Victoria NCC-74963
Subject: Investigation of Lieutenant Junior Grade Philip Williamson, Operations Officer, USS Victoria NCC-74963
Admiral Graham,
I was informed by JAG Officer Lieutenant Aston-Martin, that this particular panel would write up it's personal findings, and send them directly to your office for your review; for your personal review Admiral Graham, a copy of my notes will be attached to this letter showing how I arrived at my current decision. For the past fifteen years Admiral Graham I have served in Starfleet, I served during the Dominion War, and have served on many ships and outposts within my career; and as you know sir my family is well entrenched within Starfleet Command and the Federation political structure as well. While serving on the panel as the senior most officer by rank and not position Admiral Graham, I was placed on the panel by Lieutenant Martin to serve as a panel member who would write down his finds and submit them once the investigation is finished.
Here are my finding's admiral,
I have found that Lieutenant Junior Grade Philip Williamson committed a horrible mistake while in the midst of battle, instead of checking the ship's targeting sensors to see if the right person had been locked on; he beamed up the individual discovering that it wasn't Captain Kurogami, but instead it was Captain Enright the commanding officer of Morgan Le Fay. Lieutenant Junior Grade Williamson verbally admitted that he made a mistake admiral, and that he did not double check his readings.
Also Admiral, Lieutenant Williamson made an excuse saying that he did not know where the captain was located in the station since he could not contact him, when every Starfleet Officer knows that each individual communications badge emits it's own personal signature for the targeting sensors to pick out and lock on a specific officer or non-commissioned officer. Again he says that he admitted the lap in judgment due to the increasing dangerous situations around him; and it is because of this failure admiral that I have arrived at my current conclusion.
Admiral Graham, this matter is extremely important, because of the negligence and in my opinion the lack of proper training that two commanding officers were pulled away from their posts because of Lieutenant Williamson. What made this mistake more dangerous than he believes happened is that neither Captain was able to use security over rides or issue orders to the computer; reason being is because when a captain is issued to a base or a ship their personal command codes are locked into the ship's computer system to give them total access to all ship's systems. Because of this grave error neither captain had full command of the base or ship that they were in command of, and it is because of this main reason sir that I believe that Lieutenant Junior Grade Philip Williamson be handed out disciplinary action.
It is my recommendation that Lieutenant Junior Grade Philip Williamson be...
I: Reduced in rank to ensign
II: Removed from his active position as a department head in the Operations Office, USS Victoria.
III: That he be placed as a junior officer within that department.
IV: For sixty days he be placed under review, and that he undergoes additional training.
V: After said sixty days have been completed, that he is brought before a panel board and seen fit to see if he can be placed on active duty, and retain the position of operations officer.
These are finding Admiral Graham, and I thank you for this time,
Commander Zar
Chief Tactical Officer
USS Victoria NCC-74963'
Zar would later polish it up but he quickly saved the copy in his padd and awaited further instructions from his CO before leaving the briefing room.
