The USS Sarek is orbiting the neutrally aligned planet, Jouret near SB185. While the crew rotate to enjoy a few hours of well deserved shore leave, several key senior officers will be otherwise occupied. Petty Officer Randy Newell, charged of assault, sabotage and several other misdemeanours, is handed over to the Federation outposts security. His trial will be dealt with and several crewmembers will be called forth to testify, among which Aaron Guilder, T'Rana Dawson, Daniel DiNozzo and Kentar Chinari. Several others may be called upon as well.
