[Lt. Cmdr. Pierce Taggert - Front Ear - Security Meeting Room]Pierce raised his eyebrows skeptically when Avi asked how the victim had said she'd approached him. She didn't really expect him to fall for that, did she? "I've already heard Mr. Lynch's side of the story. Now I want to hear your side of the story." When the El Aurien lawyer asked about the official charges, he slid the PADD back over to himself and tapped a few buttons to pull up the message from the prosecutor. It wouldn't do to get the answer wrong. "They're willing to dismiss the unlawful detainment charge and reduce the torture to assault in the second degree." In his opinion, they were being too generous, and giving her far more mercy than she deserved. But it wasn't up to him, and for that he was rather grateful.

[ Avi Moz ]"Torture!" Avi sputtered. Her expression twisted from surprise to derision to offense. "He said 'torture'? Oh, kill me! Soft, whining, little shit! He's fine! Is he really saying that? You buy that? Really? Stupider than you look. I don't believe this..." Avi ended with a heavy sigh, sat back, and aggressively pressed her fingers into the ridge on her forehead. She'd heard clearly that the scare-quote-torture charge had been reduced, but the fact that this was where they'd started - these people and their hand-wringing overreactions were going to kill her.

[NPC - Sir Dugris "Doug" Zaman MBE, FRS, PhD, JD, MBA, PE, RA, CPA - Meeting Room]Sir Doug's relief at the lightened charges was undercut by his client's completely problematic reaction. She was combative, she was hostile, she was insulting the fleeter, it was all wrong. He'd have to salvage this somehow. "We're receptive to a plea bargain," he said, without asking his client. He was saving her ass after all.

[Lt. Cmdr. Pierce Taggert - Front Ear - Security Meeting Room]Pierce's gaze hardened slightly at Avi's outburst in reaction to the original charges. "Actually, that was determined by the medical records of his injuries, and the device that caused them." He paused just long enough to see if she was even bothering to listen to him anyone. "A device that was found on your person upon your arrest, might I remind you. If you disagree with the victim's statement, I'm giving you the chance to tell me what happened." Her lawyer asked for a plea bargain, and Pierce paused again as he regarded the other man. They were already getting a significant deal considering the evidence and her criminal history on the station. His jaw flexed slightly as he considered the request. "What bargain are you looking for?" It wasn't in Taggert's authority to amend the charges further, but he could make a request to the prosecutor if the defendant started cooperating.

[ Avi Moz ]"I needed to know why the Nyberrite Alliance was on the station," Avi said leaning forward, elbows on the table so as to freely spell things out with her hands. "And I had to sort it out fast before Chromar disappeared me. I knew Lynch from when I was aboard the Soteria but he's a jumpy little prick and wouldn't have helped me without ..." Alright, she did see how jabbing him in the ribs with a hot awl to force compliance would technically be torture, but she wasn't really going to hurt him. "Look, none of this would have happened if Harmon hadn't blackmailed me into spying on the Nyberrites. He told me Starfleet would protect me - " she jabbed her finger on the table " - but then invited those psychos to the station without warning. So I handled it." She tossed her hands up. "This is on Harmon. And Eastman, yeah? And you. Security? Fredrick." Judith Eastman Dugris Zaman Jovireh Velal

[NPC - Sir Dugris "Doug" Zaman MBE, FRS, PhD, JD, MBA, PE, RA, CPA - Meeting Room]This had all gone completely off the rails. It was a confession, in full, and it could easily get her a long time in prison. "At this point, we'll take anything that lets my client spend time with her child," Sir Doug said. He knew about Mott from the station gossip, of course.

[Lt. Cmdr. Pierce Taggert - Front Ear - Security Meeting Room]Pierce leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms over his chest as he regarded the Bolian and El-Aurian across from him. Her motive was perhaps understandable, though her choice of actions were far from excusable. The Commander wasn't there to give a lecture though, so he picked up his PADD and read through the comments made by the prosecutor once more before replying to the lawyer. "Due to her history on the station, and the escalated nature of this crime, the prosecutor is wanting to take a more rehabilitative approach rather than punitive. Her continued cooperation would go a long to way seal that, and I will put in my recommendation for her rehabilitation to take place on this station." It was the best he could do without having the prosecutor in the room with him. His gaze shifted back to Avi. "We were informed that Lieutenant Commander Harmon was with you during this incident. Can you tell me why he was there?" Of course, there would be a conversation with the Commander himself, but Taggert needed as much information as possible before approaching the Intelligence officer with it.

Avi had said too much. Zaman's reaction said as much as did Taggert's verbose reaction - he'd been prepared with his response. She'd forfeit a large helping of her leverage, but on the bright side, it was apparently what Starfleet wanted to hear. Shit luck for Harmon though. He deserved it. Avi wiped her face and head, unhappy generally and feeling quite cornered. She didn't need rehabilitation and at the moment, the last place she wanted to be was this shitty station. The latter was at odds with what she privately yearned for. Some kind of home. Some kind of stability. And Mott. Fuck. There was Mott. He'd never forgive her if she left him. "I have no idea," she said in response to Harmon's motives. "To warn me, he said, but you know, he's a liar." She scratched her chin. "He gonna get rehabilitated, too, then?"

[NPC - Sir Dugris "Doug" Zaman MBE, FRS, PhD, JD, MBA, PE, RA, CPA - Meeting Room]Sir Doug found himself wishing, once again, that he had an invisibility cloak. This job was impossible, and became more and more so with every word Avi said. "I believe rehabilitation will suit my client just fine," he said, probably wrong, definitely eager to cool down her combativeness. "Can we sign a plea bargain now?"His tone was pleading.
