Alex stopped. His voice a little calmer "A Reason? A reason... Family should be one and you have one here... even if it's just me and Michael for now, it'll grow. You're right he should show it more and why he doesn't is beyond me, but it's there. just search his mind and emotions, you'll see it." He turned around and took a few steps towards her, he looked at the bags then back to her. "Leave if you want but don't hold me responsible for what happens next. I know he'd like to see you one last time assuming he's convicted and if not I know he'd still want to see you no matter what. trust me" |

Duina blinked. "Hold you responsible? For what? My leaving? Michael geting convicted? Alex...I wouldn't hold you responsible for anything unless you deserved it....Which you do not." She was actually rather calm now. She soon just smiled before closing her eyes. "I do not search peoples minds unless they let me. And I am not about to search Michael's..." She opened her eyes. "Alex...You can stand here all day trying to convince me, but my mind is made up. I can't see him and I do trust your words. So this isn't a case about that..." She sighed some. "I might as well return home anyway. If Michael is convicted I will be removed from the ship anyway. Call this...an early step...Just removing myself from everything before it actually happens..." She then placed a ginger hand on his shoulder. "I'll say this...If I have a change of heart...I will be there for his trial...if not...Just wish him the best of luck for me...And...Tell him not to be afriad of his emotions. They define a person..." She just smiled before grabbing her things and walking off. "Good-Bye, Alex. Take care of yourself and find a nice girl." She gave a cute smile before turning her back to him. |

Alex sighed and walked off towards the transporter room. there was nothing more that he could do. A few hours later he was fast asleep in the quarters that had been checked out under their name. He had hoped to speak to Micheal before the trial but that wasn't going to happen anytime soon. his trial was early next morning and Alex would be there whether Duina was there or not. He didn't sleep. Meanwhile Michael was sitting by himself in the space docks brig, there was no need for him to be anywhere else, not that he could have been anywhere else. He simply waited for morning. a few more hours later he was escorted to the court room, just inside he walked down the long black aisle where the accused stood. Alex walked off the viewing stands and walked along side Michael to the front of the council room. "Alex Callister you do not stand accused." "I stand with my Captain" "Very well. The accused, Captain Michael Jade and first officer Alex Callister you are charged with the following. Sabotage of a Federation ship, discharging a phaser on a federation ship, disobeying a direct order from an Admiral and finally for involving a civilian in a conflict of Federation interests. these are very serious charges, Captain Jade and Officer Callister. however sabotaging the USS Aeon in an attempt to prevent Tariks escape holds ground, Discharging a phaser on a federation ship against Tariks Officers who were not officialy part of the Federation holds ground, Disobeying a direct order to not Board the Aeon charged against Michael Jade solely, done to regain information about Tariks past and intentions, Saving the life of a Civilian and potentially an entire crew holds ground wit that. those charges are Dismissed due to the nature of which they arose... However Endangering a Civilian there is no holding ground for that unless you can come up with one?" Michael stood there, he had no defense to that charge. "It is true I endangered a Civilian I have no defense to that however she had the option of helping us or not and she chose to help. she is technically not any part of the Federation and therefore did it of her own free will." |

Unknown to Michael and Alex, Duina was indeed there. Standing outside, listening to what was said. Many spoke loud enough that it wasn't hard to hear. Her shuttle was outside of the building, well rather, hidden away for now. It was like she didn't want to be known that she had returned. Upon hearing Michael, she inhaled before walking inside. "He is correct." She walked towards Alex and Michael rather confidently. "My life was endangered I will not doubt that. But as Michael has stated. I did it of my own free will. I will state this. If I had a choice, I would do it over again. No differently, but the exact same way that I had." She inhaled before continuing to speak. "Yes, I was used for I didn't know the true intention of what was doing on. And yes, I could have been easily killed. But I have enough faith in Michael to know he was doing the right thing even if it meant putting one such as myself in danger to get it done." Eyes just looked around before she looked back to the centre of the trail. "I know I might have steped out of line with my speaking like this, but everyone has a chance to be heard. And now that i have spoken. I must take my leave. I have a previous engagement..." She bowed before standing up straight again. "I do hope this helps in Michael's case..." She then turned before walking out the same way she came before wipping tears from her face as her footsteps quickened. |

Michael watched as Duina make her small speech and promptly left, he couldn't go after her, not yet anyway. it hurt him to have to stand there but he knew it would only make things worse for everyone if he left right in the middle of things. He looked back at the council who was sitting there. one stood up and spoke. "In light of this... surprising evidence in Captain Jade's favor he has proven he was not responsible for her actions. We therefor are forced to dismiss the charges. Alex Callister we are aware that you are Michaels Biological brother and though you are his first officer as a technicality we can not do anything since you do not share names. consider this a reprieve Alex, you may remain aboard the Aeon. Captain Jade, the Aeon is hereby released into your command, after you pass through processing you and your ship may leave when ready, this court and trial are hereby dismissed... goodday." Within a few moments the council had left the chambers and all that could be heard were that conversations of a dozen races if not more. After a moment Admiral Forrest stepped towards Michael. "You dodged a bullet today Michael, you have to take things a little more by the book. Dismissed." Before Forrest could finish saying Dismissed Michael had bolted out the door. it would take him at least half an hour to get through processing. |

Duina climbed into her shuttle before pushing a few things. Setting her course and taking off. She didn't wish to stick around in case something had gone wrong. Tears still ran down her face as she soon disappeared at the fastest warp speed her small shuttle could go. It would take her a few days to get where she was going, but she was pretty sure no one would follow her. And the only one who had any idea where she was going was Alex. She took one last look at things before truely disappearing. On her way home she was now. Much to her own dislikeing. |

overall it Had taken an hour and a half to get through the processing phase and another half to get back to his ship. it was very rushed after Alex had explained what was going to happen. Michael couldn't just let her walk out of his life. Both Michael and Alex stepped onto the bridge at the same time after replacing what they had taken to sabotage the ship. Michael hadn't even sat down and he was already giving orders. "Get these engines started, maximum impulse out of here... Get those bay doors opened." The officers on the bridge started doing their work, the ship started moving forward towards the bay doors, they started opening by one of the officers sending command codes to open them. the communications officer looked at Michael. "Sir it's Admiral Forest." The Admirals face appeared across the screen. "Michael what the hell are you doing, not even a day out of trouble and already you're making trouble" "My apologizes Admiral but me and my Crew are taking our Vacation, Aeon out." He gave the hand sign to cut transmission, sitting back down. "well ladies and gentleman we have two months earth time vacation. helmsman plot a course to Beta III. I hear it's nice. let me know when we're within a days range of Betazed" He was back in command and he had someone to be with and not heaven and hell would stop him from getting to her |

Days passed and to Duina it seemed longer as she had things on her mind. Her focus was then turned to something before sighing. She was home and she wasn't feeling all that well anymore about her returning. After some time the shuttle landed just outside her home city before she climbed out of the shuttle and looked around. The place was beautiful which caused her to smile before she stepped down out of the shuttle, putting her bags down beside her as she looked around again before closing her eyes. She would take her time leaveing but fo now she would remain by the shuttle, just enjoying the air and the nature. "I'm home..." She just smiled some before sighing as she looked at the city. |
