==========================PLAYBACK BEGIN===================================
This security camera footage was captured onboard the FNS Intrepid. It shows Captain Alexander Sean Jameson's first interaction with his old colleagues since he returned from his arrest. Viewer discretion is advised due to the violence shown in this footage.
Captain Jameson is seen stepping into an elevator to the bridge of the FNS Intrepid. He silently stands before an alarm is triggered.
WARNING. UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL IN ELEVATOR 1. YOU ARE NOT PER-
The alarm dies and Jameson types in a bypass code, presumably his old one. As he reaches the bridge, the camera feed changed from the internal elevator to the bridge cameras. Multiple pilots and high-ranking officers stand, their pistols pointed at the elevator. As Jameson steps out, he puts his hands behind his back.
"You know, changing the codes would have been helpful after I left. I'm glad there's still something of mine left lying around that wasn't retrieved.
"You've got some nerve coming here, Alex. Are you trying to get yourself shot?"
"Let's think of it this way. You'd be doing the Empire a favor by killing me. The last time I checked, there was a decently pricey bounty on my head. Knowing how our conversations have been, it seems you'd be fine with claiming it.
"Don't think I wouldn't pull the trigger."
"I know you wouldn't. However, I'm certain the Admiral doesn't want his Captain dead. You wouldn't risk killing me."
Captain Madison proceeds to slam Captain Jameson against the wall, putting a pistol against his head.
"You talk all this shit yet don't cover yourself on what you say. Do you think that you're better than me?"
"Aaron, I graduated top of our class. I've beat you in so many things. I am better than you, you just can't admit it."
Captain Madison throws a punch, striking Jameson in the side of the jaw. Captain Jameson recoils, disarming Captain Madison with his pistol and putting him in a hold, keeping his head down on a panel.
"Yield."
Captain Madison overpowers Captain Jameson, pushing him back into the wall. Before he strikes Captain Jameson, Lieutenant Commander Ray Peterson grabs Captain Madison and pulls him back by his uniform, Madison struggling to escape and attack Jameson. Captain Jameson wipes away the blood from his nose.
"Sad. You could have at least let him go for another one Striker."
"You and I both know he would try to kill you."
"Let me go and maybe I will."
Captain Madison shakes free of Lieutenant Commander Peterson. Captain Jameson holds out Madison's pistol before Captain Madison rapidly takes it from his hands, holstering it. He returns to his panel on the far left side of the bridge.
"It feels good to be back. I'm going to take a wild guess and say you forgot to grab the whiskey set out of my panel drawers, didn't you?"
"Wait, you kept whiskey in your panel?"
Captain Jameson walks over to his panel and reaches under it. He wipes his nose of blood again before pulling out 4 glasses and a bottle of aged Hikenk whiskey. He opens the bottle, pouring a glass. As he takes a sip, the elevator opens, and a man wearing a high-ranking uniform steps out.
"Admiral on deck!"
There stood Admiral Alexander Sepulveda. His hair was neatly combed and his uniform was freshly ironed. He pulled off his glasses before staring at Captain Jameson, who had small drops of blood coming from his nose.
"The hell did you do Jameson?"
Captain Jameson motions his head towards Captain Madison and wipes his nose again.
"He took a swing at you?"
"Caught me straight in the jaw. He's still as good as he was back when we sparred at the academy. I'll give him that."
"Captain Madison, anything to say?"
"He's still as much of an asshole as he was, and he still hits like a truck."
"Glad we've come to an agreement Captain."
