=/\=Lieutenant Maxwell Andrews to Captain S’Van’s office.=/\=
Max looked up from his work. What could that rat want now? He stood up, straightened his uniform, and walked down the hall to the much larger office belonging to the department head. The door was open. Max peered in. “Captain?”
“Come in Lieutenant.” Hesitantly, he did. “Something I can do for you sir?”
“First, the status of Mr…” the Captain consulted his computer. “Vrak’s suit against Starfleet, Ensign Kamilar, and Admiral Picrow?”
“To be brief, the entire allegation is hearsay, and will likely be dismissed as such. Vrak was not himself witness or victim to any defamation, it’s all rumours of things they used to say at the Academy. Plus no provable damages to Vrak’s property, well-being, or future earnings. I was going to go file a motion to dismiss tomorrow morning.”
The Captain offered only a Vulcan stare. “Very well. Second, new orders have arrived. You are to report to Captain Parker Xavier, Starfleet Command, OED V, to establish a JAG office there.”
“Sir-“
“Your transfer is effective immediately Lieutenant. Please leave any files directly pertinent to this assignment with me.”
“Yes sir.” Maxwell turned to leave.
“I hope you understand what an exceptional honour it is to be assigned to build a new JAG office.”
“Thank you sir, I do.”

The truth was that he hadn’t, and was still grappling with it. On Earth, law existed. Out on OED, law was made.
