SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Ladies and gentlemen of the Senate, if you will please take your seats, we will continue with the Goldfinch Hearings. Senator Albervar?

SENATOR KELOS ALERVAR (U-Terra-Terra Sys): Thank you, Speaker Madrigal. To continue the investigative hearing we members of the committee would like to request the fulfillment of the subpoena served on OES Director Richard Luzea. Witness Cavendash, is Director Luzea present to take the stand?

WITNESS JEDA CAVENDASH (C-Earth-Sol Sys): He is.

SENATOR KELOS ALERVAR (U-Terra-Terra Sys): Then the committee hereby calls forth Director Luzea.

< OES Director Richard Luzea enters the Senate floor and takes the stand. >

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Director, you understand that your oath of office still stands while being questioned by this investigative body?

OES DIRECTOR RICHARD LUZEA: I do.

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Senator Alervar, the witness is duly sworn in. You may proceed with the questioning.

SENATOR KELOS ALERVAR (U-Terra-Terra Sys): Thank you, Speaker. Director Luzea, allegations have been levied against the Office of Executive Services of impropriety, larceny and abuses of legislative power relating to the so called Goldfinch leak of confidential documents belonging to one Origin Jumpworks. How do you answer these allegations on behalf of the OES?

OES DIRECTOR RICHARD LUZEA: I decline to answer the allegations.

< Loud talking in the gallery. >

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Quiet, please, or the gallery will be emptied.

SENATOR KELOS ALERVAR (U-Terra-Terra Sys): These are very serious accusations, Director. You cannot just refuse to answer.

OES DIRECTOR RICHARD LUZEA: Actually, it well within my rights as a Citizen to do just that. So again, I decline to answer.

SENATOR KELOS ALERVAR (U-Terra-Terra Sys): Director, I find it hard to believe that you can sit there and think that —

OES DIRECTOR RICHARD LUZEA: You and the rest of the Senate have clearly had your minds made up through the court of public opinion. These proceedings have been continuously swayed and directed by whispers and hearsay. So yes, I refuse to answer the question put before me. If this Banu lottery of an investigation is going to continue, it can do so without my cooperation.

SENATOR KELOS ALERVAR (U-Terra-Terra Sys): May I remind you that so far we members of this distinguished senatorial body have heard testimony from Advocacy Agent Mendal, Advocacy Director Carmody, and the CEO of Origin Jumpworks, Jennifer Friskers. All of whom have levied a variety of charges against your office that if true will have dire repercussions for not only yourself and your subordinates but the Empire as a whole. By refusing to cooperate with this hearing, you are practically admitting OES guilt in the matter.

OES DIRECTOR RICHARD LUZEA: Guilt? Have criminal charges suddenly been filed? And since when has the Empire started assuming guilt until proven innocent? If I remember my civics course, the burden of proof falls on your distinguished senatorial body.

SENATOR KELOS ALERVAR (U-Terra-Terra Sys): You are not on trial … yet … Director Luzea. We are merely trying to establish the truth. Don’t you want to go on record in defense of the OES?

OES DIRECTOR RICHARD LUZEA: And how will me answering these ridiculous claims help with that? Look at it from my perspective. I deny the charges and everyone says I am covering up the truth. I accept the charges and the repercussion would be such that Empire would feel its effects for generations. No, the prudent course of action is for me to continue to remain silent, for anything else would be a disservice to the hardworking men and women at the OES.

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): If you continue on this course of silence, Director, I will have no choice but to find you in contempt of Congress.

OES DIRECTOR RICHARD LUZEA: What I do, all my actions, have now and will forever be for the good of the Empire.

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Final warning, Director. Will you answer?

OES DIRECTOR RICHARD LUZEA: I will not.

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): I find OES Director Richard Luzea in contempt of Congress. Please remove him from the stand and remand him into custody.

< Director Luzea is escorted from the room. >

SENATOR KELOS ALERVAR (U-Terra-Terra Sys): Speaker, in light of this, the committee would like a moment to regroup.

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Very well, we will take a short recess at this time.

2945-05-19_13:35 - Sitzung beginnt

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Meine Damen und Herren des Senats, wenn Sie sich bitte setzen, werden wir mit den Goldfinch-Anhörungen fortfahren. Senator Albervar?

SENATOR KELOS ALERVAR (U-Terra-Terra-Terra Sys): Danke, Sprecher Madrigal. Um die investigative Anhörung fortzusetzen, möchten wir Ausschussmitglieder die Erfüllung der Vorladung an OES-Direktor Richard Luzea beantragen. Witness Cavendash, ist Direktor Luzea anwesend, um in den Zeugenstand zu treten?

ZEUGNIS JEDA CAVENDASH (C-Earth-Sol Sys): Er ist.

SENATOR KELOS ALERVAR (U-Terra-Terra-Terra Sys): Dann ruft der Ausschuss hiermit Direktor Luzea auf.

< OES-Direktor Richard Luzea betritt den Senatssaal und tritt in den Zeugenstand. >

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Herr Direktor, Sie verstehen, dass Ihr Amtseid noch steht, während er von diesem Untersuchungsorgan in Frage gestellt wird?

OES DIRECTOR RICHARD LUZEA: Das tue ich.

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Senator Alervar, der Zeuge ist ordnungsgemäß vereidigt. Sie können mit der Befragung fortfahren.

SENATOR KELOS ALERVAR (U-Terra-Terra-Terra Sys): Danke, Sprecher. Direktor Luzea, gegen das Office of Executive Services wurden Anschuldigungen wegen Unangemessenheit, Diebstahl und Missbrauchs der legislativen Befugnisse im Zusammenhang mit dem so genannten Goldfinch-Leck vertraulicher Dokumente, die zu einem Origin Jumpworks gehören, erhoben. Wie beantworten Sie diese Vorwürfe im Namen der OES?

OES DIRECTOR RICHARD LUZEA: Ich weigere mich, die Vorwürfe zu beantworten.

Lautes Reden in der Galerie. >

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Ruhe, bitte, sonst wird die Galerie geleert.

SENATOR KELOS ALERVAR (U-Terra-Terra-Terra Sys): Das sind sehr ernste Anschuldigungen, Direktor. Du kannst dich nicht einfach weigern zu antworten.

OES DIRECTOR RICHARD LUZEA: Eigentlich ist es gut in meinem Recht als Bürger, genau das zu tun. Also noch einmal, ich weigere mich, zu antworten.

SENATOR KELOS ALERVAR (U-Terra-Terra-Terra Sys): Direktor, ich kann es kaum glauben, dass Sie da sitzen und denken können, dass -

OES DIRECTOR RICHARD LUZEA: Sie und der Rest des Senats haben sich eindeutig durch den Gerichtshof der öffentlichen Meinung entscheiden lassen. Diese Verfahren wurden ständig von Flüstern und Hörensagen beeinflusst und geleitet. Also ja, ich weigere mich, die mir vorliegende Frage zu beantworten. Wenn diese Banu-Lotterie einer Untersuchung fortgesetzt wird, kann sie dies ohne meine Mitarbeit tun.

SENATOR KELOS ALERVAR (U-Terra-Terra-Terra Sys): Darf ich Sie daran erinnern, dass wir Mitglieder dieses angesehenen Senatoriums bisher die Zeugenaussagen von Advocacy Agent Mendal, Advocacy Director Carmody, und der CEO von Origin Jumpworks, Jennifer Friskers, gehört haben. Alle von ihnen haben eine Vielzahl von Anklagen gegen Ihr Büro erhoben, die, wenn sie wahr sind, schreckliche Auswirkungen nicht nur auf Sie selbst und Ihre Untergebenen, sondern auch auf das Imperium als Ganzes haben werden. Indem Sie sich weigern, an dieser Anhörung mitzuwirken, geben Sie praktisch die Schuld von OES in dieser Angelegenheit zu.

OES DIRECTOR RICHARD LUZEA: Schuld? Wurden plötzlich Strafanzeige erstattet? Und seit wann hat das Imperium angefangen, Schuld anzunehmen, bis seine Unschuld bewiesen ist? Wenn ich mich an meinen Zivilisationskurs erinnere, liegt die Beweislast bei deinem vornehmen Senatskörper.

SENATOR KELOS ALERVAR (U-Terra-Terra-Terra Sys): Sie stehen noch nicht vor Gericht.... noch nicht... Direktor Luzea. Wir versuchen nur, die Wahrheit zu ermitteln. Willst du nicht zur Verteidigung der OES vor Gericht gehen?

OES DIRECTOR RICHARD LUZEA: Und wie werde ich bei der Beantwortung dieser lächerlichen Behauptungen helfen? Betrachte es aus meiner Perspektive. Ich leugne die Anklage und alle sagen, dass ich die Wahrheit verschleiere. Ich akzeptiere die Gebühren und die Auswirkungen wären so groß, dass Empire seine Auswirkungen für Generationen spüren würde. Nein, die umsichtige Vorgehensweise besteht darin, dass ich weiterhin schweige, denn alles andere wäre ein Bärendienst für die fleißigen Männer und Frauen bei der OES.

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Wenn Sie diesen Kurs des Schweigens fortsetzen, Herr Direktor, werde ich keine andere Wahl haben, als Sie unter Missachtung des Kongresses zu finden.

OES DIRECTOR RICHARD LUZEA: Was ich tue, all meine Handlungen, habe ich jetzt und werde für immer zum Wohle des Imperiums sein.

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Letzte Warnung, Direktor. Wirst du antworten?

OES DIRECTOR RICHARD LUZEA: Das werde ich nicht.

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Ich finde OES-Direktor Richard Luzea unter Missachtung des Kongresses. Bitte entfernen Sie ihn aus dem Zeugenstand und nehmen Sie ihn in Gewahrsam.

Direktor Luzea wird aus dem Raum begleitet. >

SENATOR KELOS ALERVAR (U-Terra-Terra-Terra Sys): Herr Präsident, in Anbetracht dessen möchte der Ausschuss einen Moment Zeit haben, um sich neu zu formieren.

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Sehr gut, wir werden zu diesem Zeitpunkt eine kurze Pause einlegen.
