Lasiter looked straight at Lorin, and with a very calm facial
expression and said, "The other answer is that Dr. Brennan and Admiral
t'Llhweiir have had one on one therapy sessions. These sessions would
include a wide ranging scope of treatment from physical therapy and
supervised exercise to counseling sessions. As one would imagine these
sessions a friendship was formed. Their friendship a unique one, and a very
personal one. One that is entirely private. I did not feel that it was my
place to announce to the world the nature of their friendship, and it was
certainly not my place to go into the details of her treatment. Not my
place as a commanding officer and not as a friend. In all reality it was as
a friend that I was told the details of her treatment regimen, and as such I
could not reveal that in my capacity as CinC. I would prefer that our
collegues can maintain some level of privacy in this matter, and we will not
intrude into their privacy unnecessarily."

Lasiter replied, "This has dragged out too much, for too long. From
now on full court press. An attack on Starfleet Command is not just to be
treated like any other investigation. It gets a higher priority. Check the
communicator logs, we can trace them. Was he near the scenes of either
attacks? Are there any witnesses seeing him elsewhere? What about the
vids, who was on it? was it Brennan? All these questions need to be
answered, and soon. I want a detailed report on what has been found and
what is being done. That report will be given to me be both you and
Commander K'Tael personally, tomorrow morning. And to answer your question,
it will not look like a cover up. This investigation has gone on for how
many weeks now? We are Starfleet and we are supposed to be the best.
Particularly at Spacedock. I want action, I demand action, and it will
happen now. That being said, anyone that hinders this investigation.
Arrest them. Hindering prosecution and hindering an investigation is a
serious crime. One that will not go unpunished."
