>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 >colleagues can maintain some level of privacy in this matter, and we will not >intrude into their privacy unnecessarily." "I agree completely sir and that was not a question I wanted to ask." >"With all due respect, if Mr. K'Tael and I rush this investigation, it will >look like we're covering it up and blowing steam." >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." Lorin considered bringing up t'lLwheiir's threat but felt is best to let Lasiter handle that. "Understood sir..." he hit his badge, "Renaud to K'Tael." <assume heard> "Commander. We need to meet ASAP. This case is now our only priority. Anyone who you feel is covering up information you need to proceed you can feel free to arrest...charges are Hindering Prosecution and Obstruction of Justice. These are orders of Admiral Lasiter." <response>
