David took notes the whole time, "I am truly sorry Simon...what they did 
was illegal and immoral and I will do all I can to stop it."

He spoke to the recording, "Let it be officially noted that Simon has cooperated in a 
current investigation." He looked at Cyrus, "Cyrus?"

Cyrus not really willing to rehash his experiences in any great detail summarized...

   "I was with Simon.  I had arrived there a day or two after, caputred from a search 
party for Simon and the others he was with.  I fought a bit harder than Simon did, and 
was rewarded by being drugged, then beaten.  I was never really questioned, just 
beaten.  We were let go at about the same time."  Cyrus was a touchy one.  He was not 
happy to be talking about this, and being held made it worse.  Granted the Federation 
was holding him, and definately treating him better.  But captivity was captivity.
