Baphomet looked to Captain Taurik and then back to Taylor.
"My opinion of the events that took pplace are irrelevant Ensign, but Captain Taurik's actions were not logical no.
The logical thing to do would have been to contact Captain Sanchez and request his surrender, if request ignored then it would have been necessary to stop the USS Evolution via other means.
But as illogical as his actions were, let it be said that even Vulcans would do what we could to support aquaintences in times of dire need, especially with irrational and emotional human friends as it were.
Although their actions went against direct orders and put multiple lives at risk, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the fact remains a child and family were at stake.
So although their actions were illogical and nothing short of treason, their actions were logically rought, but was indeed brought on by an emotional reaction."

"Captain Sanchez. We pursued the Evolution, in accordance with our orders. Once we caught them, I listened to Captain Sanchez's explanation, as he is generally a loyal officer, who's actions are almost always well justified. After hearing his explanation, I came to be in agreement with his solution to the problem with the Loxian government."

OOC: Can you please hurry this stupid trial up please, it is illogical anyway seeing as Taurik and Sanchez will get off scott-free, even though Federation law stipulates that NO Starfleet Vessel may involve themselves in ANY Disagreement or war unless it DIRECTLY involves the Fedration, which the Loxian conflict DID NOT.
Sorry if I have offended anyone, but this is unfair to those crews who are left out of the Storyline, which includes the USS Rivendell and the displaced crew of the USS Evolution.

Captain Taurik and Captain Randall Sanchez enter the tribunal chamber under escort from Commander Lauren and her security entourage.
They are escorted to the defendant's booth, where they are asked to sit. Upon doing so, Taurik notices that Commander Lauren finishes a report on a PADD and sets it on the tribunal desk.

*Vorak takes a deep breath, and then he walks on through the corridors, followed by Sanchez.*
"Mr. Sanchez, it is not without that the U.S.S. Evolution was decommissioned. Naturally, the ship was outdated and severely damaged, which is why another upgrade of the ship's systems would end up being inefficient. Instead, we have chosen for a more logical alternative."
*Then he halts, and looks out the windows next to the corridor. They give a magnificent view on the station's inner docking area. Sanchez, wondering what Vorak is talking about, looks through the window too, and sees a huge ship, with a beautiful design, and on it the letters... U.S.S. EVOLUTION-A. Sanchez gasps, and there appears almost a smile on Vorak's face.*
"THIS ship, Mr. Sanchez, will be your new assignment. Effective immediately."

After arriving from the USS Rivendell, Baphomet had walked into the JAG Court room and sat in a convient chair giving Captains Taurik and Sanchez a nod.
At first she wasn't going to come, finding both their actions illogical for placing so many lives in jeapody, on Vulcan such actions would be considered punishable by self-termination or at the very least, extensive Kolinahr rituals.
But this is Starfleet and by Federation standards, not everything is punishable by such dramatic means and as on Vulcan as in the Federation, there are extenuating circumstances.
So Lt. Commander Baphomet, knowing what it is to be ostracized due to extenuating circumstances, decided it was only logical to show support, or at the very least, to have another Vulcan present at the trial and being involved in the events that are being exercised in this court room, would also be prudent.
Baphomet raised her right hand to Taurik and Sanchez in the Vulcan salutation and said;
"What ever happens in the trial Captains, Peace and long life."
She then lowered her hand and sat back down, awaiting the proceedings to enuse.

In your professional opinion, being an officer at the rank of Commander in Starfleet, would that be considered a prudent action? With the claim being that Captain Sanchez's small detour with the Evolution was quite private, but important. Would you say that it was quite appropriate that Captain Taurik met with him in private, to make an effective move to resolve the situation peacefully?".

A simple, and unharmful act purphaps. But not only did he aggree to that, but he transported to the Evolution alone; Against yours as well as Commander Freemans advice. Is this all correct Commander?

"We arrived at the Evolution, myself and Baphomet gave the captain a few plans on how to disable them. Then Captain Taurik spoke to Captain Sanchez over the viewscreen for a few moments until Captain Sanchez asked Captain Taurik to transport over to the Evolution to talk to him."

"To be honest, no I don't think it was prudent. When the Captain informed us that he was beaming over both Baphomet and myself advised against it.
To my knowledge the two captains are friends and so I believe that Capain Sanchez included him in his private plans."

*Sanchez takes a deep breath.*
"When I returned to Avalon station last, I received news from admiral Vorak that the Evolution was to be decommissioned. Then, I received news that Zayan, who was pregnant with my child, was captured by the Loxian government and was scheduled to be executed. Zayan, who fought for the Loxian exiles, with whom we have, after all, good relations thanks to the project at Vontak Nor, the Cardassian station in the Dark Passage, that is now shared by Starfleet, Cardassians and Loxians in a peaceful way. I felt it was my duty to inform the admiralty of this situation, and offered to perform a rescue mission myself. I asked this directly to admiral Vorak, but he claimed there was no ship available. He refused to allow me to take any ship because he did not want Starfleet to be involved in the Loxian civil war. The thing, however, was that there was one ship still capable of spaceflight, and not in use... the Evolution. It was only just decommissioned and had not been entirely taken apart, so despite its obvious damage, it was still of use."
*Sanchez takes another deep breath.*
"I admit that I have stolen the U.S.S. Evolution, though decommissioned, to go to Loxius. It would appear to have been for the good, because the Loxian government was at first winning, but our arrival turned the tide in favour of the Loxian Exiles. I need not remind you again that the Loxian Exiles are on good terms with Starfleet, while the Loxian Government has broken off diplomatic relations before, who knows what their next move would have been had they won this war."
*Then he faces Taurik on the other side of the room.*
"But before we got to Loxius, the Evolution was halted by the Rivendell. It is true that me and captain Taurik have been friends for many years, so I would never cause him harm, and he knew this. That is, no doubt, why he knew he could beam over alone. I don't expect that anyone else understands this seemingly illogical decision of his, but it appeared to me that the senior staff of his ship was more interested in pulling out the guns, rather than have a diplomatic discussion. Taurik chose the latter and beamed over to my ship, proving to his crew that I meant no real harm. The fact that he is still sitting here, and can testify that I never even tried to make an aggressive move on him, proves that my intentions were good."
*He then faces Matthews again.*
"We talked for a while, and I explained him the entire situation. After all, how can one judge of another's actions if you don't even know the reasons why. Once I had explained this to him, he realized that we had but two choices... we turn around to Avalon Station and comply to Starfleet orders, knowing that people will die unnecessary, including my child, and allow a potential enemy of Starfleet to grow stronger, or disregard our orders and save lives instead. We chose to do the latter, and we succeeded in this mission. And to prove that I have no ill will toward Starfleet or anyone, I have thereafter voluntarily allowed security officers to take me to the brig, and I came here without protest."
*He then faces Vorak, Karelia, and everyone else in the room.*
"I realize that I violated direct Starfleet orders, and I submit to the punishment you choose for me, but I need to ask of every single one of you... had it been your unborn child that was in serious peril, would you have turned back instead?"

"The point I am attempting to reach, is that Captain Taurik boarded the U.S.S. Evolution with a cause that should not face scrutiny. Meeting personally with Captain Sanchez might have proven more success in swaying his decisions to continue his flight, or return to this station. Boarding the Evolution alone, would be paramount to not showing 'force'. Diplomacy, to solve the problem.
I have no further questions".

(OFF: I believe someone has taken the Academy position, but there's no CMO for the Starbase yet. You can use the Rivendell's medical staff for your post-natal care if you'd like.

"That is correct. I realize that this may cause reason for debate whether or not I violated the Prime Directive, but even if I did, the most distinguished captains, such as captain Kirk, Picard and Janeway have done so several times before too. Never for their own personal advancement, but always for the greater good. Those were also my intentions, otherwise I would not have put my life on the line. I originally set out to do this alone, I never forced or asked anyone to come with me, and all people that did, did so voluntarily."

Taurik stood and straightened his uniform in typical Vulcan properness. He moved up to the stand, where he placed his hand on the bioscanner.
The computer responded very shortly. "Identified: Taurik, Captain. Commanding Officer, U.S.S. Rivendell NCC-84540-B. Starfleet Registry Number 2809-0405-04-E."

Matthews paced, and looked to the Captain.
"Captain, in your own words, please explain what took place. From the time that you made the decision to leave with the Evolution, to the time that you made for a return to this station, leading us to this".

Understood.
*Zayan approaches the bench and hands the disc over. She briefly tells about the disc in a low voice.*
While we were escaping from the compound, I went to on of the security stations to run a systems test that would lock the defensive weapons. Giving my people more time to get with a better chance of survival. While bringing that program up I came across this weapon plan of theirs. The capabilites of this weapon are suspected to open a hole into the dimention of dark mater space. The Government decided to test it out on this StarFleet Base once it was completed. In the least it would have created a black hole according to the scientific calculations. Either way the Government planned to make an example out of one of the most powerful influences in this part of space.
*The child in her arms began to cry.*
I will take a seat now and get her settled down. If you will excuse me.
*Zayan declines her head in a respectful bow and takes a seat near the back of the room, giving Sanchez a smile as she passed.*
