He lowered his voice slightly-more out of habit, "Well done....I wanted to talk to you
two about specifically what I am looking for in the Van Der Loo situation and why. You
are two of my most trusted officers. In trying to find David-er,Captain Boulay, I have
sensed almost an ...unwillingness..." he reinforced the word with the brief silence
"in working with us...almost
a dodginess. Fact is he has missed or been excessively late in agreed upon check-in
times. It is totally unacceptable and I want to know if this is a pattern of behavior
and action. Do we have enough to consider a transfer in position or even
court-martial? I may wish to force a complete investigation and review of his current
operation but I will need proof. However, we need to do this quietly if we are going
to find any dirt I suspect. Any thoughts?"
"Well, sir, legally you don't need any other authority to transfer him other than
beeing his commanding officer. In this case that would be the area commander or the
Chief of Starbase Operations. As for a court martial, the only thing that I can say
that he has done is negliant in his duties and mialdly insubordinate, but I can't say
for sure if what he has done rises to court martial or Admiral's Mast- administrative
punishment. However, that said, sir, Commander K'Tael has really only begun his
inquiry." Joe answered.
