*Adams and Accel are still on the ship discussing Capt. Helen Taft*
Adams: What?
Accel: Yes ma'm, she was in love with me and transferred me out of her command for that reason.
Adams: So, commander, you are telling me that you were not disrespectful of authority; that this is a classic case of fraternization. The Captain loves you but can't act on her emotions because you are under her command. So, she transfers you under false pretenses. I have one question for you, commander: Why would the Captain transfer you to the USS Madison using the reason that you were disrespectful of authority? Why would she ruining your service record?
Accel: Well, actually, I was rather hot headed. . .
Adams: Hot headed?
Accel: I was prone to angry outbursts, and I got so wrapped up in my work that I forgot I was in Starfleet sometimes. I love what I do Fleet Captain. But that isn't the point. You see, ma'm, I was not in love with Captain Taft. She came to my quarters one day and told me how she felt and then she grabbed me, and, of course, I tried to stop her ma'm. However, she did not relent and told me how madly she loved me. . .
Adams: Continue commander.
Accel: Well, this is a painful memory Fleet Captain; I thought I'd never have to tell anyone else. Anyway, I threatened to call security, but she took the badge from me and called security herself. My best friend, Lieutenant Andrew Jackson, was the Security Chief. He and another officer were soon in my quarters. Captain Taft told them that she had been passing by my quarters and had wanted to inquire whether or not I had finished an experiment. The Captain said that I became frustrated because I believed that she was rushing me. She told Lt. Jackson that I had then gotten angry and thrown a tiny plush Garfield toy at her. I collect them ma'm, I always had an interest in Garfield from the 21st century Earth comic strip. I have a cat just like Garfield. Anyway, Captain Taft had knocked the stuffed Garfield off my table, and it was easy to believe her story for the other security officer, but Andrew, I mean Lt. Jackson, wasn't certain. However, the Captain ordered him to apprehend me (though she never officially had me punished), and as he did so, he caught sight of the very light pink lipstick that was on the right side of my lip. The lipstick was so light that no one could see it except those in immediate contact with me. However, instead of him suspecting the truth, he suspected that I had come on to Captain Taft instead of the other way around. This was because the only reason I got to know the Captain was with Lt. Jackson. He wanted to spend as much time with her as humanly possible because he was in love with her. He always brought me along to talk to her though because he was so nervous, which is how Captain Taft eventually fell in love with me. He assumed that the Captain had lied about my reaction to her being in my quarters because she was ashamed of what really happened. He thought I had sexually assaulted her. Later, the lieutenant confronted me. We got into an argument that ended our friendship, and later, Captain Taft decided to further the problem by getting into a secret relationship with him. Things got worse, and finally the Captain had to transfer me to the USS Madison so that no one would trust me and her secret would stay safe. +at this point, Accel is ashamed and is shaking slightly with his head bowed down+
Adams: Fraternization and sexual assault eh? Other than Lt. Jackson and Capt. Taft, are there witnesses to prove this?
Accel: Yes, well not anymore actually. There was one person; Captain Dwight D. Eisenhower of the USS Madison, but he was murdered a month ago after a rendezvous with the USS Tyler. He had overheard a conversation between Lt. Jackson and Captain Taft. I also heard the conversation. I saw him listening, and then I saw Captain Taft come out and see him, she said something to him very quietly. She seemed angry. I resumed walking in the opposite direction and she never saw me. This happened right before I was transferred. Wait a minute, you trust me right? After all you're supposed to defend me.
Adams: Yes, you would not make up such a story. Are you prepared let a judge and jury know what you've told me Commander?
Accel: Uuuuummm
Adams: Let me inform you that you must testify if you want to stay in Starfleet, and if you testify I will ask you about this. Besides, if these people have committed crimes, they should not be in Starfleet.
Accel: Alright ma'm.
Adams: Good, now we need to travel to the USS Tyler and the USS Madison to gather evidence needed to make your case.
Accel: I have but one question.
Adams: Yes?
Accel: Who will feed my cat while I'm gone? END COMPUTER RECORDING
