Adam looked to his lawyer, who gave him permission to speak, before looking around the room nervously. If he spoke now, he was changing things in a way that he might never get a chance to go back. "It was an assignment given to my cell. Our contact with the Brotherhood hierarchy brought it to us. I was given the assignment because it seemed like a natural for it because of my background in Engineering. I already had the uniform and would be able to fit in fairly easily with fellow officers."
Aravis decided it was time to jump in. "Who specifically brought the assignment to your cell, and who briefed you on the specifics of the assignment?" The prisoner thought things through for a moment. It seemed like so long ago now even if it was only a couple of days. So much had happened in that time frame. "I did not know his name. He was on older guy and seemed to have a good idea of what needed to get done. He gave us the assignment. It was my cell leader who helped formulate the plan. His name was Matt ... Matt Swain." "Was the assignment always to attack Commander Shevab specifically?" Aravis was curious as to whether they were targeting specific personnel or just any high ranking officers who were not human. Adam couldn't help but wonder if this woman knew more than she was saying. He shook his head and those speaking with him probably couldn't tell whether or not it was a denial or anger at her gall. "We were just given an assignment to attack one of the command staff of the station and make sure that he or she was not human. Our options were limited. There are Commanders K'Tael and Shevab. Counselor Kirk is also not completely human, but we wanted the statement to be clear. Dr. D'amondra was considered to be not an option." Geb glanced toward Holt and his partner quickly. It was clear that the Brotherhood was very strict about who they could and could not attack. He could not help but wonder why the doctor was exempt fom consideration. He was going to let his superior keep going since this line of questioning was started by her. (tag?)
