"No one died. The only loss was a shuttle craft, and some frayed nerves. How about illegal posession of explosives (the Venasian Explosives) for 2 years, and conspiracy to commit murder for 5 years. My client will go on the record- to include depositions and court testimony if need be- with what he knows and will assist you to make contact with his co-conspirators." Fenton finally replied. K'Tael nodded. "It sounds somewhat reasonable. I will have to get approval from my superiors. Those on the shuttle were representatives of the Venasian government here on a diplomatic mission. There are much more serious charges involved." (response?) "Mr. Edwards will have to be held until a resolution is found. We already have enough to charge him on possession." (response?) "I will go give a call to the JAG office, and I will be back to you as soon as I have more. You are welcome to stay in here and talk with your client until that time." (response?) K'Tael nodded before heading from the conference room to his quarters. Once there he immediately made a call to the JAG office. "K'Tael to Captain Boulay. I think I Commander Firehawk and myself have made a breakthrough you would like to know about." (response)
