Preston: *Looks at sam with so much disgust.* If you will Daniel..

Daniel: Captain, would you mind explaining yourself?

*Sam just continues to hang her head, avoiding eye contact with any of them.*

Security Officer: She's been like that for nearly an hour now. She won't even look at me. She's been quiet for as long as she's been here, except when Commander Forrester was here.

Daniel: Thank you, lieutenant.

Will you speak to Matt, Captain?

*Sam doesn't react. They see a tear roll down her left cheek.*

J'Tal: gentlemen would you give me and the captain a moment.

Daniel: Of course.

*Daniel walks out of the Brig and waits for Preston to follow.*

Preston: James is dead Captain. We need a response. Or are we newtypes such dangerous people that it is no loss to the universe. Especially when he was a close friend to you and your family. What would they say..

Preston: Of course Diadect.* storms out.*

After they leave J"Tal stands before sam deactivates the field and steps into the cell and reactivates the field.

J"Tal: I know you where just trying to do what is right

he also puts a mental block in the cell so no one can know what they say or think.

J'Tal: deep down though you know it was wrong and now you have heart the man you loved and loves you. All together now i have seen a great deal of sacrifice in my life. Some for good reasons and some for not so good reasons.Captain to save these people i need your help.If not for me do it for the man who loves you. Tell me everything i need to know.

in prestons mind

Diadact: you will calm yourself if needed i will have you leave. This requires the delicate touch one you have now shown you do not posses

*Sam doesn't respond, and tries to move away from J'tal.*

*Outside.*

Daniel: I know you're angry, Preston, but try and remember that she's just lost a close friend. Talking to anyone right now may be too painful for her.

Preston: *mentally* Of course.
