[PNPC] SCPO Ral Shaw - When regulations meets reality
CPT Arianus
(( Outside RSF Headquarters - Risa ))
Chief Ral despised whispers and daggers more than anything else. However, her own whispers to the Commander were not much different. Too late, she noticed that the lieutenant had joined them and was listening.
Vailani: I respect your … creativity Chief, but your judgement is way off it might as well be in another galaxy. At no point in this plan, did you think to reach out to Commander Dakora? Lieutenant Silveira, our tactical chief? Myself, your direct superior officer? Or any member of Commander Dakora’s former team?
Chief turned her head to Vailani, and locked her eyes with the lieutenant.
Ral: I assure you I weighed the situation on hand against the regulations, and I took into account the detainee’s service record and commendations altogether with the reported administrative misdemeanor, which was a reason for detention by RSF. It was not the clearest from your upperdeck view, I guess, but I dare to say it was a decision within the regulation interpretation about informing at the time necessary. ::with a teacherly tone:: As a Boatswain, it is within my purview to assess whether it is necessary to involve Security or if I or any of my Boatswain’ Mates in the commission of our duty as Shore Patrol is enough to take over the detained enlisted person to transport him back onboard. But if you wish, I can wake you up in the middle of the night for you to prepare - in compliance with the regulation - when some OPS enlisted commits an administrative misdemeanor and gets detained instead of me sensibly picking him up, placing him in a brig, and waiting until morning to inform you about his offense and the grounds for simple administrative punishment.
Dakora: Response
Chief took a deep breath and exhaled. And then once again.
oO Officers... Oo
Vailani: So, as you explain it you recognize a name that you believed could be compromised? When and how did you learn of this name, Chief?
oO You don’t want to know, lieutenant. But it would teach you to knock and announce yourself always first. That was my mistake not to do, yeah. Oo
Ral resisted the urge to glance at Dakora. This wasn't a topic she wanted to discuss and perhaps couldn't even talk about in public like this.
Ral: I’m not sure if I would say compromised. I told the commander that I knew that the name was fake and had been used by the petty officer while ashore before. ::pauses:: But to answer your questions - When is not a topic I would wanna develop on. How? The first occasion was by unintentionally hearsaying the part of a private conversation of said petty officer with another Starfleet officer in the lavatory of his quarters. ::smiles sarcastically at Vailani:: And no, they didn’t have a Consensual Relationship Agreement at the time.
Dakora: Response
Vailani: :: to Dakora :: I think I might have heard enough. Whatever you want to do, I will support you?
Chief clasped her hands behind her back and straightened up, maintaining respectful attention as she looked at Commander Dakora.
Ral: ::to Dakora:: While still not knowing all the details from RSF, sir, Black is not a brawler, and he was detained and not arrested for a barfight he participated in but did not cause. He’s enlisted, and it’s the maximum administrative punishment for that barfight. I’m still willing to pick my enlisted up, write all the paperwork for and about detainee transport, put him in our brig until his division chief decision; and inform Lieutenant Antonova about his misdemeanor with boatswain punishment recommendation ::looks at Vailani:: What was my intent from the beginning. ::turns head back to Dakora:: Or you can do all of that with the lieutenant here, sir. It’s your officer’s time, your call, sir.
Dakora: Response
