“Well,” a woman said from am few steps into the room after having evaluated what she was looking at, “it certainly is.”
There was a split second where it felt like being caught by the principal in the middle of doing something she shouldn't have been doing. A split second where Tyra forgot that she was a captain with every bit of authority and gravitas, not that she currently looked the part, but it was only a second before her spine straightened ever so slightly and her shoulders rolled back.
“I almost wish I was the prosecutor right now,” the woman said as she set the case on the room’s lone table. “Because seeing all three of my potential defendants having a discussion after one of them was arrested would just be an absolute field day, particularly if there were any extraneous recording devices that I had managed to place other than the main security system that someone, very conveniently, had switched off.”
Even though Tyra could absolutely acknowledge that the woman, clearly Elias' representative, was correct, she wasn't going to give an inch on that. Instead, Tyra tilted her head just a little defiantly as if she dared the woman to keep going after the week the redhead had crawled through. Tyra was more than prepared to take the security approach to dealing with JAG, which was to tell them where to shove their high horse, but it seemed she wouldn't need to today.
“Of course, the first thing two talented security officers like yourselves – I’m sorry, Captain, former security officer – would have done is check for any of that. Like I myself have just done.”
It wasn't the first time Tyra considered that her actions, driven by sheer rage and incredibility, had not been wise. In fact, they could probably be placed into the same category as Ben's own stupidity but what was another shovel full of dirt out of the hole they were digging?
“I know this isn’t a good situation, and I know you are all friends. But I have to ask you to leave, now, so I can confer with my client on this case now. I know you have been questioned already, Lieutenant Ramius” – she held up a padd meaningfully and set it down – “and I expect you can expect some similar questions soon, Captain Crawford. However, if you think of anything that might be useful, feel free to let me know.”
Tyra couldn't help the way her lips pulled into a grimace at the news, though she should have foreseen that reality now that there was a confession at play. It seemed that was probably the next thing she needed to work on because, unlike an idiot nearby, she had no intentions of answering anything without representation.
“I’m Lieutenant Commander Mackenzie Rabb, and I’ll be here on the station for the duration. Now, please, get out.”
"Maybe you'll have better luck getting him to put the shovel down…. He apparently doesn't know when to stop," she commented, sending a pointed look towards Ben at the end. "You're in good hands, Ben, but please listen to her."
There was a sigh on her lips as she turned once more, glancing at Ramius. "Need a drink? Because I think I need one or five…"
