"The Captain's experiences are by no means unique other than by the
fact
that they have gotten noticed. That is likely because of who he is. Most of the people in his position are locals. They have no one to turn to as a result of these abuses." He looked to the Captain apologetically. "In a way, it is likely fortunate that it happened to him because it meant the outside has taken notice." "Was it the rebels or the defense forces that were involved with the attrocities?" asked Joanna. Stark just shook his head. "I wish it were just the locals, but as I told the Captain earlier. It seems like hostage taking and abuse is something that has been taken on by all sides. That includes Starfleet as well as the rebels and the governmental defense forces. Joanna pusher her hair out of the side of her face. "Please do not take this the wrong way, Colonel. Did you file any complaint with the local JAG office? Since Starfleet officers were involved, it is your duty to do that as soon as you see evidence of a possible crime against sentient life." Stark's shoulders almost seemed to fold in on himself. It was evident
that those same questions were ones that he posed to himself. His eyes
looked up wetly at her. "I was afraid ... I was afraid what would
happen to me. Others who had tried to speak up had had their own
difficulties, and I was afraid the same would happen to me."

"That may be so, but the JAG is stationed at Van Der Loo's facility.
Don't you think he has some influence with the office there." His eyes
almost seemed to be pleading for forgiveness from the trio.
