Synopsis:
Kirk is astounded when he is charged with negligence after the death of Ben Finney, his records officer, and summoned to a courtmartial on Starbase 11. Finney's observation pod had to be ejected in the height of an
ion storm, but the official record -- which would implicate Kirk -- is not how Kirk remembers it. Compounding matters, Finney had been bitter over his stymied career ever since shipmate and friend Kirk reported his potentially fatal
error early in their careers, and now Finney's daughter Jamie is
incensed at his loss. Adding fuel to the fire is the news that Kirk's
prosecutor will be Lt. Areel Shaw, an old flame, but she surprises him
by recommending a feisty defense attorney, Samuel T. Cogley. The
computer log evidence seems insurmountable, but Cogley's refusal to
blindly accept the evidence leads Spock to Finney's true fate.
