Discipline Log Entry 29/4/09 for Chief Roland Drakain. FOR ALL HANDS. Log is as follows...
...
On 4/6/09 The Union HQ was destroyed via nuclear ordinance. A nuclear weapon of unknown yield was snuck onto the asteroid base aboard the Meriweather Lewis, a Union vessel commanded by Chief Petty Officer Roland Drakain.
Chief Drakain was returning from a mission to Ilium where he was to investigate a message sent to him pertaining to a fleet of ships that had been put under his command by a third party. His task was to investigate these ships, their crew, and report to a Union command official on what he would like to do with them.
Seeing that Chief Drakain was on the list for promotion to an Officer rank, and had graduated Starship Command School, for this mission he was given command of the UNCV Meriwether Lewis, The UNC Tampa and The UNC James. The reports suggest that Chief Drakain conducted his mission quickly, not properly investigating the ships within this fleet, and failed to even properly inspect the flagship satisfactorily. Then, without having even done a backround check on the Captain "Dha" of the fleets flagship, he lead them back to the Union's secret headquarters in M234-P.
He gave the vessels the exact location of the HQ, leading them right to it and even let this Captain "Dha" aboard the HQ. Under his own admition, he allowed this unknown captain access to mission critical areas and high security areas in order to retrieve some "astro charts" from our computer, which is information which could easily be obtained through nay public read only terminal on the base.
The result, the destruction of the HQ, the wiping of military records therein and the destruction of the UNCV Meriwether Lewis, The UNC Tampa and The UNC James via the nuclear device.
Chief Drakain, you've shown near incompetence as a commander. this disaster could have been averted if you had followed the laws of common sense that should come hand in hand with being a Officer in the LONAS Military.
First, If you had conducted a proper inspection of the ships you were sent to investigate, you my have discovered the true nature of the hidden threat before it had revealed itself to us all. You did conduct a bridge and engineering inspection of a single ship, but that was of a single ship, and only of the ships equipment. According to the reports, the only questions asked of the crew were incredibly generalized engineering questions. No attempt at a background check was attempted.
Second, you lead their fleet back to the Union's secret headquarters. Your mission was to investigate the fleet, and report back with any information. Instead you gave every navigator within that fleet the precise location of our most fortified location.
Third, the nuclear device which destroyed the HQ was detonated while hidden aboard the UNCV Meriwether Lewis, a ship under your direct command at the time. It is unknown how such a device could have been brought aboard the corvette and it is also unknown why the enemy was granted access to the Meriwether Lewis.
And Fourth, and the most grievous of your failings, was that you allowed an unknown officer of a relatively unknown fleet to come aboard the HQ, and granted him access to command level security areas, simply because he needed "astro charts." Documents that could be called up on any public read only terminal on the base, or even transmitted to Dha's bridge over the com.
Disciplinary measures begin...
Chief Drakain. You have shown ineptitude at commanding a Union fleet. Your Starship Command School credit is hereby revoked. your no longer authorized to wear the SCS ribbon.
You have shown yourself to be a poor example to those under you, and have performed unsatisfactorily in your duties as a Union Member. Your Good Conduct Ribbon is hereby revoked.
You are reduced to the rank of Centurion. you will receive your backpay this friday in addition to pay earned for this week as a Centurion.
You are restricted to Voyager until 5/4/09, during which time you will not have access to the bridge, engineering, armory, gunnery stations, hanger decks, computer core or any other command level area. During this time you will aid investigators in the investigation of the fleet you recently acquired by providing them with what little information you did glean from your last mission.
Disciplinary measures end...
On a personal note, i would just like to say that as someone who claims to be a Mandalorian, you've shown great dishonor to yourself, the Union and the lives of the soldiers and airmen who were killed as a result of your series of mistakes. They're deaths were without glory, and their families are shamed by the fact that their loved ones died because some junior commander decided he could do what the hell he wanted with the lives placed under his command.
During your report to the Ships AI Investigator (Rita) you displayed little remorse for your actions, going so far as to smirk when Rita was giving you a heads up as to what you could expect as a punishment. Such an attitude is not the honorable way to carry yourself.
I can only hope that the before listed punishments and comments will have a positive effect on your attitude in the future. Hopefully enough so that you can salvage what remains of your career with the LONAS Military and Union.
