Before coming down I had replicated some emergency transporter pins that once activated would broadcast the authorization codes and beam us back to sickbay. When we got back to the ship we learned another technology the people had. They had induced a warp inhibitor around the planet that prevented us from escaping the shots. Also they were beginning to scramble fighters and capital ships to attack us. Since I was not only an engineer but also a flight squadron leader, I headed down to the fighter bays. We were to delay the attacking ships long enough so that our ship could escape the warp inhibitor. We quickly realized however, the field was a lot larger than we originally expected. It became clear that we would not be able to escape in time and ultimately would be destroyed. | Before coming down I had replicated some emergency transporter pins that once activated would broadcast the authorization codes and beam us back to sickbay.

I was ordered to attack the main power core despite my objections because it would, it did, destroy the entire moon and all that were on it.

I wasn’t going to do it, I absolutely knew that would be a violation of regulations. But when my best friend was well unable to beam-ject and died when they fired upon his escape pod. I realized this all came about due to my reluctance to follow the captain’s orders… well I guess I became angry and in my moment of anger I followed my orders. I fired the shot that ultimately killed the planet. Beam-Jecting back to the ship I was able to escape the following destruction. The planet's power having been destroyed, the warp inhibitor went off-line and we were able to escape. Well until you found out what we did and arrested us. I take responsibility for firing the shot that destroyed an entire civilization and I am willing to accept any punishment as a result. | ||
Travis: Well, thank you for your testimony we will investigate further and inform you of the action that will be taken. You are dismissed. | Travis: Well, thank you for your testimony we will investigate further and inform you of the action that will be taken. You are dismissed. | ||
