[John Brown]

*Five hours later and the Monitor and Discovery were docked back at the station, Admiral Arturo was in the station brig and Captain Kawolsky was tending to some unfinished matters*

"You know, I should  court martial you for your actions out there!"   he said firmly, to Brown

*Kawolsky walked up towards the ready room window. He looked out towards the station drydock facilities. Brown was sat in front of Kawolsky's desk.*

"You disobeyed my orders, stole a shuttlecraft, leading to its destruction, and went on a one-man revenge mission that could have got you killed! Do you have anything to say for yourself?"

"Yes, Captian, You Should Court Marshel Me, then I Here By Resign My Commisioned, and Never Ware the Uniform again, and I will Have my Self over to the Cilvilien Authoriteys" Said John

[kawolsky]

"Yes, Captian, You Should Court Marshel Me, then I Here By Resign My Commisioned, and Never Ware the Uniform again, and I will Have my Self over to the Cilvilien Authoriteys" Said John

"Yes, I could court martial you, and I could accept your resignation...but I am not going to. I have known you for ten years now, and I have never known you to behave like this. Because of that, and because I know you are an honorable man, I am going to suggest that you are formally reprimanded, and reduced in rank to Lieutenant (Junior Grade). You are not quitting on me just yet, Lieutenant. Is that clear?"

[John Brown]

You are not quitting on me just yet, Lieutenant. Is that clear?"

"No, its not, How can I walk on that Bridge for what I have Done, I can't Ware the Uniform, I can't Be an Star fleet Officer, So, I resign, I ca'nt Ware this Uniform, How can I, So, I will Be Leaving the Ship, and Handing my Self Over to be sent to an Jail" Said John

[kawolsky]

"So you are prepared to throw away everything you have worked so hard to gain? You are going to let down the people that care about you? You're going to give in because you made one mistake?!"

[John Brown]

"So you are prepared to throw away everything you have worked hard to gain? You are going to let down the people that care about you? You're going to give in because you made one mistake?!"

"What have I gained, I have Gained Death and Distruction, and failure as an Officer" Said John

[kawolsky]

"What have I gained, I have Gained Death and Distruction, and failure as an Officer" Said John

" Yes, you made a tremendous error in judgment, but you're a good Starfleet officer, John, and you must continue to be so. You cannot let everyone down. You cannot let me down..."

[Chris Newberry]

"What have I gained, I have Gained Death and Distruction, and failure as an Officer" Said John

Chris moves out of the shadow in the room on that comment but doesn't say anything for a moment trying to find the right words.

"Lieutenant, two options and i prefer you choice option one."

"One, return to the Discovery as a Junior Lieutenant and help in the war that is coming, or two, I charge you for stealing a shuttle and throw you in a cell for the remainder of your life."

*Kawolsky looked at the Admiral, and then at John*

"Take it, John"

[John Brown]

" Yes, you made a tremendous error in judgment, but you're a good Starfleet officer, John, and you must continue to be so. You cannot let everyone down. You cannot let me down..."

*John walked to the Window of the Capitan Ready Room and Looked out to Space looking at the Starts Going By*

"If, I return, will I be Needed again, Will I be able, to Bring Life to an Fighting Chance for others to Survuve, Am, I the Man you Need to Defend the Weak" Said John

"Then, it's settled. Lieutenant, I hereby reduce you in rank to Lieutenant (Junior Grade), effective immediately. Now, I need those tactical systems operational for our next mission. Oh, and when you get chance, I want you to see our new counselor. She will be arriving shortly"

"I, Will, also, I ca'nt see no Counelor, as they can never fix what I need" Said JOhn

[kawolsky]

"I, Will, also, I ca'nt see no Counelor, as they can never fix what I need" Said JOhn

"That wasn't a request, Lieutenant"

[John Brown]

"That wasn't a request, Lieutenant"

"I, Know, I know, in Order to Move, to become the Man I was" Said John

*as he Opened his Hand to take his Communcator and Rank Pips*

*as he Opened his Hand to take his Communcator and Rank Pips*

*Kawolsky handed Brown his communicator and placed the Lieutenant rank pips on his uniform. Brown left the ready room, and Kawolsky turned to O'Neil*

"I think he'll be alright, sir"

"I think he'll be alright, sir"

"I hope so, but i'm not doing well. You know my past and possible know i've been in Starfleet for a long time, longer then many but my time is coming as a war is about to start and i can't stand by and watch as Starfleet keeps me from doing anything."
