took the seat at the end of the table. His lawyer was with him and sat
immediately to his left. Leaver seemed no worse for his meeting with
Ensign Breknor, but he did look weary. His hair was mussed, but he was
still wearing an Engineering uniform. He said nothing.
His lawyer on the other hand was finely dressed. He wore a simple pale
green suit with a mustard shirt and a burnt sienna tie. Not surprisingly,
he was a human. He was balled and looked to be about in his 50s. He
turned his eyes to the officers at the other end of the table. "I am Jacob
Greene, and I am here to represent Mr. Leaver. I would like to know what
specific charges are being pursued against him.
"Mr. Greene, your client is being charged with enterring a restricted area
and attacking station personnel," said Lt. Holt simply. "These are very
dangerous charges considering recent events."
Geb was not surprised to see that Greene was coming across all blustery. That is just the way that defence lawyers behaved. They thought the police would back down if they felt threatened enough, particularly if their case was weak. He wondered how well Lt. Holt would stand up to him. He had already learned thaqt she was referred to by many people as the Ice Princess.
