Boomer was originally supposed to go on leave but he had been asked to deal with this case of Ensign Smithson who had been sent to sickbay after getting into a fight with one of his pilots.

Boomer sighed as he sent a note to Sideswipe to meet him here so he was informed of what had happened.

Upon the appointed hour, both men were waiting for him outside of his office. "Come with me." Boomer growled as he went into his office. "Those are not just for decoration, use them."

Boomer sighed softly as he regarded Crosshairs. "You've made this into a shitty day for me junior." Boomer growled. "Perhaps... you'd care to explain why you felt the need to rearrange Ensign Smithsons face. You nearly killed him by the way..." Boomer explained as he selected the PADD he wanted and he slid it across to Crosshairs. "Had you hit him any harder... you would have shoved the bones from his nose up into his brain."

Crosshairs gave Boomer a simple, and straightforward answer, "That may have something to do with the fact that mr broomstick up ass decided to punch me in the back of the head like a coward."

Sideswipe decided to ass his two cents into the matter,"It may be worth noting, that hitting someone in the back of the head can also cause a lethal concussion as well, so the same argument could be made for mr smithson there as well."

"I did not call you in here to debate the matter with you." Boomer growled. "I also expect better then childish name calling from you." as Boomer regarded Crosshairs. "I'm leaving Mr Smithson for security to deal with... My primary concern here... is you. He smacked you first but you escalated the situation."

Boomer sighed. "According to this... you are guilty of Article One Twenty Eight, that's a court marshal offense." he sighed as he facepalmed. "I will go and see Security about the matter of Mister Smithson... but as for you... Other then this incident, you're record has been exemplary." he sighed. "Your right to self defense is noted... but I'm sure someone will want to argue charges for this.." he shook his head. "So... what I will do... is this.. consider yourself in hack for the next two leaves... you are not to leave this ship. Also. you are not to have booze on this ship for six months.. " he turned to address Sideswipe. "You're move?"

Sideswipe had to bite his lip for a second, knowing the track record on this ship, he then mentioned," Its worth mentioning two things. One, the captain is likely to sweep this one under the rug, considering that bar fights usually go unpunished. Second Crosshairs is under second wing and is really Wukari's responsibility."

Boomer nodded. "You've got a point." he commented. "Also... Wukari is commanding the wing... and I said I'd take care of it before I go on leave." he explained as he shook his head. "I don't know what I'm going to do with you."

The door opened and Wukari walked in, asking, "O.K., whats going on here, and Boomer, why are you not on vacation already."

Boomer opened his mouth but stopped. "I'm dealing with one last administrative issue before I depart.." he commented as he selected the PADD as he handed it to her. "the details of the case in question.... maybe you could adjudicate it.... I'm turning this case over to you..."
as he handed the smaller female Shi'ar the PADD in his hand.

Wukari simply sighed, then turned to Crosshairs, saying, " Alright, your on temporary suspension until further notice, until we sort this out with security."

Crosshairs simply nodded but didn't say anything.
