Jared turned back to Abrams. "I am sorry, Commander. I did not mean to
make it seem like we were attacking you personally. My team and I are here
to investigate what happened to Captain Boulay and others like him. I was
hoping that you could help us a little with pulling together the paperwork
that has been filed in such incidents."
"I will do what I can, sir, to help."
"Has there been any rumors of such incidents in areas where Starfleet has
no presence?"
"That's hard to say. As I said earlier we don't track complaints against
the PDF. Although, it does stand to reason that they would have some.
That said, I can't speculate as to what complaints they would have."
David sat and listened....sure...if they didn't "officially" track them
they
wouldn't have to act on them.
Jared smiled. "Commander, you misunderstand me. I asked if there has been
any *rumors* of such incidents. These would not necessarily be on the
record."
"Sir, we don't deal in rumors. S-O-P is to deal in facts, what we know. I
can't speculate what incidents of abuse the PDF may be accused of." Abrams
was not trying to be difficult. He was under orders from Van Der Loo to
deal with documented facts only when it came to their guests. All the LCDR
could do is hope that Admiral Jackson would pick up on the subtlty.
Joanna could sense the stress level rising in the room. It was clear to her
that there was more to what Abrams was saying. He was hinting at something
more. "Who would be a good person to talk to about these rumors. As you
can imagine, any investigation involves checking such things for possible
leads."
