Jez nodded as she listened to Commander Kurasa explain certain aspects of her responsibilities on board the Aquila, "If you have no Senior officer or NCO to ask advice, then you will need to use your own best judgment. Each situation is likely to have unique circumstances and solutions and experiences will come. Use good judgment; ensure the protection and safety of all persons involved and ensure that you have as much of the circumstances that you face, under as much control as you can. With children, compassion is obviously a part of the solution, but older kids do require some discipline, whether to use that yourself or leave it to the parents is a judgment call. Whatever choices you make, so long as you can defend them; then you can be sure I am very likely to back you up fully; does that clarify things for you?"
Jez smiled and said, “Yes, Commander I understand.
Jez was a bit surprised when the Commander brought up Graves World, "First off, taking the person responsible off the planet is proper procedure and protocol when there is no established law enforcement, and I can assure you that she will face justice. As for your response to the mob; I was aware of the circumstances; having read all the after-action reports, and in that very particular case it could have proven to be helpful, so don't trouble yourself over that, I am not judging you."
Jez had to disagree with Commander Kurasa, “ No Commander, the person responsible will never face justice, at least not by the people who deserve it the most. She will go before a judge on another planet, or Star Base and that judge and jury will pass a sentence on her and she will not get the sentence she deserves. The people on Graves World deserve to face that monster and get the justice they deserve, a judge and jury with no vested interest will not give Captain Wilson the sentence she deserves.” Said Jez, her voice sounding distant. “ Besides, shouldn’t the people affected the most by what she did have a say in the outcome? Shouldn't they be able to express their feelings about the situation?” Added Jez.
Jez wasn’t sure if Commander Kurasa was silent for so long because she was considering her answer or was the Commander about to let Jez have it with both barrels as the Terrans say. Jez wasn’t sure what to expect.
Gee….I hope I didn’t cross a line.
Commander Kurasa then brought up her brother-in-law,
"First off the Commander is a Betazoid hybrid just as you, Said and myself are. Secondly, he is older and has been in Star Fleet longer and as such he is a more experienced officer, used to command. Apparently, he has gone to great lengths to make such an impression although I am at a loss as to why he felt it necessary to do so. I am not judging him Ensign but as to why he went to such lengths is perplexing." Said the Commander.
"That is something I will certainly discuss with him when next we meet, but for now I would suggest you focus on your current assignment, Ensign. This is a large ship and will likely have some challenging assignments for us all, and I would prefer you keep your focus on preparation for those missions rather than concerning yourself over a former CO.
Are there any other questions? Otherwise, I intend to go on a patrol, and you will accompany me."
Jez was relieved. “Oh, I know he is a Hybrid. He told me. What I mean is he has embraced his Vulcan side, but he doesn’t act like any Vulcan Hybrid who has embraced their Vulcan side. You know the practical jokes, the fear of spiders. Jokes invoke humor, joy, and fun. Spiders invoke fear, all emotions. See what I mean? “ Stated Jez. “ I’m looking forward to those challenges.” Added Jez.
