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.

I would like to note, for the record, that it seems irregular for the CAG to take primary role as judge and jury in this matter, as the matter is not confined to two members of his flight crew.

I've been authorized by the accused to request a full hearing on her behalf.

I plead no contest to the charge of defamation. I would, however, if it please the convening authority, take exception to the charge of outright insubordination to the lieutenant.

My request to the convening authority is a matter of private record. I do request the opportunity to explain my actions and the events leading up to the incident in question. While my response was not such as worthy a member of the Colonial Fleet, the convening authority has showed a complete lack of interest in hearing my side of the story privately, which leads me to believe that I've already been judged and sentenced before the statement of charges was already filed.

All I want is the opportunity to explain myself and face my accusers. If I'm to be held accountable for my actions, so should we all.

I would like to add, for the record, that I was the one who encouraged Specialist Tyrol to leave her journal entry public. I found it first and after discussing it with her, told her that she should hide it from certain... superior officers and leave it for Lieutenant Agathon to find and respond to.

On the matter of the charges against Specialist Tyrol, speaking as the defamed party in question-- if Galactica command has determined that the Major's judgement is the best manner in which to approach this problem, I trust in Major Adama's fairness and will abide by any decisions he makes.

I expect that certain details regarding a past encounter between Specialist Tyrol and myself are likely to be referenced and that it is possible charges stemming from it may be leveled against me. I would explain the extenuating circumstances that surrounded the event, but in all likelihood, it wouldn't make a difference in the outcome.

As acting XO, Major, I just wanted to let you know you've got the full support of the command staff.

Do what you think is right, Lee. We trust you.

I won't jog your arm, Lee, or interfere with your best judgement, but let me know if you need a sounding board.

*snorts* With damn near any other crew, I'd suggest shoving them into the ring with gloves on and letting them sort it themselves, but obviously that won't work here.
