OOC: I’m assuming that this scene takes place after the time skip Koh posted here: https://www.star-fleet.com/core/stf5/olinski/posts/96284/, but before Sidney returns to the Olinski.

Jason Harn used the solitude to contact Meridian Station and talk to Sidney. After some pleasantries, Jason gave him a summary of the day’s adventure so far, relaying the rescue of the Sierra, the paralysis and bodily override suffered by several members of the crew, and the duplicity of Mrs. Pitch and the probable danger the rod presented.

=^=What really gets to me is the plight of that baby, Boss,=^= Jason finished after his verbal report. =^=That woman was able to fool our sensors as well as the naked eye. At this rate, I don’t even think that baby is hers, but how do I know if I’m homing in on a kidnapper or I’m bullying a distraught mother who’s gone too far? I’d really appreciate your input, Skipper. I let myself get too close to this.”

“From the sounds of it you did very well. As good as any Captain could of and that includes me. Listen in every investigation we never get all the answers. Also there is a point where our job ends and someone’s else begins. Keep them in custody, separated is probably a good idea and sedated if necessary. Your responsibility it to the ship and crew. Period. SF Investigations, child services and research division can do the rest.” The Captain offered.

“Copy that, Boss,” Jason nodded. “So how is your case with JAG going? Did you get that friend of yours off?” Jason had, should we say, flexible interpretations of the Prime Directive, so he was interested in knowing Sidney’s skill at legal defense.

“Indeed I did. It was touch and go. The man put himself in a bad spot and then someone took advantage of it and nearly had him incarcerated for life. I won’t say all my courtroom tactics were standard but the end result was justice done.” Sidney answered.

However a woman died and that was not a just thing. He had learned that all you could do is your part. You could not fix everything and sure as heck not undo the done.

“Tell me Harn. Are you putting in for a command now?” He asked. Obviously he had done well as the CO.
