Disciplinary Action

[arrow_of_apollo]

The official document states:

OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF CHARGES

COLONIAL FLEET

Judge Advocate General's Office

In accordance with Colonial Fleet regulations, CREWMAN SPECIALIST CALLY TYROL has been duly charged with the crime of INSUBORDINATION.

Details of charge: Specialist Tyrol did knowingly and willingly fail to show proper respect of rank and commission towards flight officer Lieutenant Sharon Agathon by means of a journal entry. This journal entry was posted publicly viewable by almost the entirety of the ship's crew, including Lt. Agathon. Within this entry, Specialist Tyrol did impugn the reputation and defame the personality of Lt. Agathon with malicious intent.

Actions taken: Due to the highly sensitive and public nature of the incident, Major Lee Adama, Commander of the Air Group, has taken primary role in this matter, by order and consent of Admiral William Adama, CO Galactica. The Crewman's direct superior, Chief Petty Officer Galen Tyrol, will be expected to assist in the dispensing of any disciplinary action.

I will now hear from the involved parties regarding this incident.

OOC: This friendly neighborhood disciplinary notice brought to you with the rubber stamp of approval from admiral_adama, just to make it official.

First of all, I want you to know that I know what I did was wrong. And I'm not going to hide behind the Chief, or anyone else. If you honestly believe that what I did was so horrible that a brig stay is the only way to teach me a lesson, I won't fight it.

Do you have any idea what it's like to be made to feel like your worth to this ship, this crew, humanity itself, can be measured in decimal points? Wait, you're the CAG, of course you don't.

I realize we're here to discuss my actions, but they were a reaction to someone else's actions. I may not be the smartest cookie in the jar (case in point, the fact we're here today), but I'm not deaf and I'm not completely oblivious. The reason I wrote what I did was because I couldn't even eat, or sleep, or take care of my son. I know I shouldn't have let it get to me, but when you get a gun shoved in your hand and dared to shoot it, then suddenly looking down the barrel of that same gun, logic doesn't exactly win out.

I made a mistake. We've all made mistakes. Mine's more public than most and I understand that there needs to be a statement made. But someone's already used me to make a statement.

I know it seems like I'm trying to play the victim and I know that in some ways I had something coming to me. But I don't deserve to be terrorized any more than Lieutenant Agathon deserves to be slandered. She didn't mean to terrorize me? I didn't mean to slander her.

I'm truly sorry, not only for the comments themselves, but for the trouble they've caused.
