SD: 80926<br> | |||
Scene: SB EPSILON<br> | |||
Anna was just starting what was supposed to be a relaxing shore leave when | |||
she was approached by two Bajorans. | |||
"Excuse Me, Ms. Lee, I'm Ryna Itre and this is my assistant Muji John, | |||
we're from the Bajoran Freedom News and I was wondering if we could ask you | |||
a few questions." | |||
Anna recognized the name right away, The Bajoran Freedom News, a news | |||
program available in Bajor, known for its attacks on everything except the | |||
Bajoran people and Bajor itself. The program was especially known for its | |||
negative views on the Federation and Starfleet. | |||
"Were you not able to attend the press conference?" asked Anna. | |||
"Oh, we were, but we are more interested in you and your role in | |||
Starfleet." replied the Ryna. | |||
"It's just that we've done research and we thought a story about you would | |||
be more interesting." said the assistant. "I mean considering the fact that | |||
as a Bajoran Cadet in Starfleet, you were once convicted of aiding the | |||
Maquis. We have concluded that your were not actually guilty but that the | |||
human-run so called Federation assumed you were guilty because of the fact | |||
you are a Bajoran." | |||
"That is NOT true" stated Anna in a louder voice then she normally used. | |||
"Are you saying you were guilty?" asked Ryna. | |||
"No. I was and still am innocent. The fact I was convicted had nothing to | |||
do with race. At the trial, several on the jury as well as the judge | |||
happened to be Bajoran. The Federation and Starfleet are not human-run. As a | |||
non-human Starfleet officer once said "The United Federation of Planets is | |||
based on a simple but important idea: Diversity, indeed diversity makes up | |||
the very fabric of the Federation, which is essentially an amalgamation of | |||
different worlds, races, and cultures." This officer went on to say that | |||
the federation worlds are bound together by " awareness, respect and trust". | |||
I would add that this diversity also makes up Starfleet and is a great | |||
benefit to Starfleet as Starfleet officers also have awareness, respect and | |||
trust of one other." stated Anna. | |||
"Then in your opinion, why were you convicted?" inquired the assistant. | |||
"It was simply a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time." | |||
Answered Anna and adding silently to herself, sort of like right now. "I | |||
have no further comments." Anna quickly walked off and jumped into the | |||
nearest turbolift trying to get as far away from those reporters as possible. | |||
Scene: USS FEYNMAN: Lee Anna's quaters | |||
Anna had gotten tired of avoiding those two reporters and saying "no | |||
comment" so she returned to her quatres and began the book she had bought | |||
during her short time on Epsilon, "Trinity" by Leon Uris. | |||
To take a break from her reading, Anna decided to catch some of the news. | |||
"Computer are there any local Federation News broadcast programs on?" | |||
[[Negative]] | |||
"All right, then computer have a recording of the latest local Federation | |||
news program sent to the terminal in my quatres" | |||
Anna watched the recording, one of the top stories was the Feynman's last | |||
mission. After the story on the mission itself, the news reporter went on | |||
to mention that a Bajoran News Station had done a story on a related issue. | |||
What followed was the showing of the complete "interview" Anna had with the | |||
two Bajoran Freedom News reporters plus a commentary but the reporter Ryna | |||
Itre. Ryna's commentary was basically that Lee Anna was just saying what | |||
she had been told by the Federation. Then the news went back to the | |||
Federation reporter who did another commentary stating that this particular | |||
Bajoran News program was an extremist group and did not reflect the opinions | |||
of all of Bajor which was followed by interviews with randomly selected | |||
Bajorans. | |||
By the time the news finally went onto another story, Anna was becoming | |||
quite angry at the "Bajoran Free News" (especially Ryna Itre) and the fact | |||
that a Federation News Station would actually have covered it. Must have | |||
been a slow news day! Lee Anna decided to calm down by going to a holodeck | |||
to relax, taking her skates with her. | |||
Scene: USS FEYNMAN: Holodeck | |||
Anna went into one of the empty holodecks and ran one of her favourite | |||
programs, | |||
Skating on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa Ontario, Canada. | |||
NRPG: | |||
Finally! A post from me!! Hope I didn't bore anyone too much. | |||
I didn't want to have Anna enter into anyone's holodeck program since I'm | |||
still catching up on where everyone is. If anyone wants to join Anna | |||
skating, that would be great. | |||
If shore leave has ended and I'm just not that caught up yet then consider | |||
this a backpost. | |||
From: | |||
Donna, who finally has a post out :) | |||
