Baumann looked at Millet and said “Commander. This, coupled with the man’s history, gives me a great deal of concern.” and a thought occurred to him. “Patersen… is this behavior typical of Mr. Jensen? As in, is it a pattern?”

Baumann, Intel

Patersen looked up at Baumann then the XO. The question was unexpected and caught him off guard. “No… I mean… kinda. I know he had a thing for Pres. I mean Prescott. He was always trying to get her. She was the only chic, woman, who wouldn’t fall for his charm. And sometimes he would bully the younger and newer Security personnel. He’s a trainer. So he was the first experience a lot of us had with ships. I just figured he was being hard cause in space we can’t be soft. But yes, looking back, I guess he was more hard on her than anyone else. He always said later she liked the adrenalin rush and that’s how he … how they… well, foreplay, I guess.” He dropped his head, “Said that’s why she went to Intel. Cause the rush was bigger.” Looking at Jensen he whispered, “I’m sorry Jensen…” The XO across the table probably wouldn’t hear it.

Jensen lifted his head at the apology and spat on Patersen. “Traitor. If you weren’t backed up by brass right now I’d teach you a lesson!” His words were low and deep and eerily calm. He then glanced over his ex-friend’s shoulder and glared hard at the Intel Commander. It was a look that said he wanted to do more than knock the man out.

Jean-Francois knew that voice well. It was the voice of a predator. “Enough! Commander I want these two separated and confined in cells. No contact with each other including visual contact. If you have to put one in the cargo bay and ther other in solitary. Then get both of their stories along with this lady Ms Prescott. She needs to be talked to as well. Then when we have everything we need then we will hold a tribunal and most likely for all three of them.” He went to the Commander and whispered. “And I want to order a rape test on her and performed by the CMO if needed be.”

Walking around and looking at them all in the eyes. “You have your orders Commander. I want the Captain present as well when we talk to Mrs Prescott as well. Let me know when you are ready to proceed Commander. That is all.”

Baumann looked at Millet and said “Commander, a word if I may.” and he moved to the other side of the room where they could speak privately and still keep an eye on Jensen. When Millet joined him, he said in a low voice “Commander. We have to be… delicate… in this matter. One, we do not want to alienate Mr. Patersen. His testimony will establish a pattern of behavior. Throwing him in a cell when he aided in the apprehension of Jensen I feel would be… let us just say ‘unwarranted’… at this point. I will speak to Prescott. She is my direct report. If there is a need, I will walk her to the CMO myself. Our priority is ensuring this…” and he looked at Jensen, “… predator, as you so aptly titled him, is confined… tried… and summarily removed from the fleet. Preferably to somewhere very dark, very small, and filled with the likes of individuals who will use him as he either has or has attempted to use others. Agreed?”

Baumann, Intel

Jean nodded. “Very well. Commander. That is wise. Confine Mr. Paterson to his quarters then. Get what you can from other two then we will proceed with the tribunal if there is evidence to support. Have security find out all of Mr. Jensens past Department Heads and all about his behavior. If they did their job then there should be a paper trail already established. If not then it is imperative that one is started now. Thank you Commander. I’ll await your reports.”

Baumann looked at him as if he was expecting a bit more, but simply nodded once and said “Very well.” and he went back to the two. “Mr. Patersen, you are hereby confined to quarters until such time as a complete and thorough investigation is conducted. I recommend you contemplate your future during this time. Mr Jensen… per the order of the Executive Officer of the SS Bonaventure, you are to remanded into custody of ship’s security. Charges will be filed within seventy-two ship hours, per regulations. Then a tribunal. Then a very public Court Martial on Earth.” and he looked at Millet. “Commander, would you please call Security. They have one of their own to throw in the brig.”

Baumann, Intel

Patersen nodded and stood up. “Permission to be excused, Sirs?” He was half at attention and half shaking in his boots.

“Stand by Mr. Paterson.”

Jensen sneered at Baumann. “I didn’t do anything wrong. You’ll see. You misunderstood and took it too far. I didn’t make JG cause I was stupid.” He laughed and shook his head with arrogance and surety.

Nodding he pressed the com on the wall. [O] Security. Report to the XO’s office immediately and armed for prisoner detainment into solitary confinement. Send 5 officers. Millet out. [O]

He looked at Paterson. A security officer will escort you to your quarters.” He looked at Jensen. “The others are for you. I suggest you comply with them as it makes it much easier not only for us but for yourself as well.” He just looked Jensen in the eyes.
