Story:Star Trek: Helena/Code of Honor/Chapter 2

In the mess hall Admiral Cornwell strikes the ship's bell six times.

This hearing will come to order. We are here to consider the request of the Klingon Empire that Captain Marcia Ann Taylor be extradited for trial on charges of murder. Ambassador Rozhenko, you may present your charges Admiral Cornwell says as she looks at him.

Alexander gets up holding a padd.

The Klingon Empire makes the following allegations against Captain Taylor. That on Stardate 54236.3, while commanding the Starship Helena, she knowingly fired upon and destroyed a Klingon Outpost in the Pentath system. That as a result of that action, four hundred forty one Klingon civilians were killed. It is my intention to prove that Captain Taylor was grossly negligent in her command of the Helena. That her hatred towards my people overrode her good judgement. I ask only that she be given to us to face the judgment of the people she hates. Thank you.

Captain Kira who is her lawyer gets up and comments on what Alexander said.
