ISCS Inquiry
-I.A.VUnhindered Truth
-Reviewing service records from 2506-2511
Inquirer - Major K. Parkhill
Subject – J.D Hathcock (48 years old, Former Lt. Colonel of the Independents)
1400 hours, Interrogation Room N5. J. Hathcock is seated at the end of a metal table and looks rather anxious and uncomfortable, Major Parkhill is seated at the other end reviewing information in a file he brought in with him.
Parkhill – Good afternoon Mr. Hathcock, could you please state your name and rank within the Independent Military.
Hathcock – I’m, uh, was Lt. Colonel Jeffery Hatchcock.
Parkhill – What is you’re place of origin.
Hathcock – Well I was born on Verbena but I…
Parkhill – That will do Mr. Hathcock. Now you were apprehended by Alliance forces in Serenity Valley in late May, is that correct?
Hathcock – That’s right.
Parkhill – And before you were captured you served in various cavalry regiments, particularly the commanding the Trawler Class-Cargo Ship Liberty Stage, correct?
Hathcock – Liberty Stage, that’s right.
Parkhill – Which would place you in the Navy wouldn’t it?
Hathcock – Well, that’s a bit of a…
Parkhill – A yes or no, will do.
Hathcock – No, I was within the Cavalry, why?
Parkhill – I am here to ask the questions Mr. Hathcock, you are here to answer them. But it’s rather unusual that a large cargo vessel would be placed under cavalry.
Hathcock – Yeah, I suppose it is.
Parkhill – Well, I’m not particularly interested in how the Independents uniformed their divisions. But perhaps you could elaborate as to what it was that you’re responsibilities were from the years of 2507-2509.
Hathcock – What are you talkin’ about exactly? What my…
Parkhill – The Independent faction command had a certain mission for you, and others to partake in. Particularly, you were placed in command of this specific mission of your division for these years. So what mission was that?
Hathcock – Well it was… well we… I was…
Parkhill – Mr. Hathcock, the war is over. The Independents are finished, you are well aware of that. Now we are simply trying to do damage control, and catalog the war as necessary.
Hathcock – Yeah, but then the…
Parkhill – And, the terms of surrender were rather generous. However, that only goes so long as those it overshadows are willing to cooperate. Unfortunately, there are quite a number in Parliament that would like to see those who forced the war to continue even after the peace accords were signed brought to trial for their crimes.
Hathcock – Hey, wait, I was just…
Parkhill – As I have it, you and your division were apprehended a week after the surrender, still armed, and had to be brought down by force. Thereby placing you in that category, is that correct?
Hathcock - …Yes that is correct.
Parkhill – So, either you will cooperate with this Inquiry, or you will be transferred into the Alliance penal system, and await a verdict from the review board for crimes against the Union.
Hathcock – You really got me by the balls here.
Parkhill – So it would seem. Now will you cooperate?
Hathcock – Do I got much choice?
Parkhill – Now I asked you, from the years 2507 to 2509, what mission were you charged to command?
Hathcock - … I was tasked with managing a division of “High Value Transfers” for the Independent cavalry.
Parkhill – And divisions of “High Value Transfers” were tasked with?
Hathcock – … Put simple… Smuggling runs.
Parkhill – Do elaborate
Hathcock – Aiya Hwala. Look, we needed guns and supplies. We couldn’t make em, but you guys were pumpin’ out more then you could use. So we…
Parkhill – So you would move a ship into Alliance occupied territory, and steal what you needed, and ship them back?
Hathcock – You gotta do what you gotta do.
Parkhill – And your vessel, the Liberty Stage, being a rather large vessel could transfer, what exactly?
Hathcock – Well, we hauled quite a lot of everything. Fuel, batteries, medical supplies, food…
Parkhill – Weapons?
Hathcock - … Enough to outfit a regiment for 3 months each run.
Parkhill – Now how many vessels were in your specific division.
Hathcock – I think it was 9 at 2507, then 4 by the end of 2509.
Parkhill – And in that time you became acquainted with a Major Morse, yes?
Hathcock – Ha, you’re joking?
Parkhill – Is that a yes or a no?
Hathcock – Yeah, I know that little prick.
Parkhill – By you’re tone there was some unpleasantness between the two of you.
Hathcock – You could say that.
Parkhill – So Major Morse was attached to you’re division. What was his charge there?
Hathcock – Well… Morse was placed in command of the unit operating on the Logan.
Parkhill – Right, and so the Major was involved in the smuggling under your command?
Hathcock – Ha, well yeah, but you wouldn’t know it by the way the structure was set up there.
Parkhill – How’s that?
Hathcock – Look, I’m the superior officer, and the division is under my command, but he operated… a bit away from the norm.
Parkhill – Away from the norm?
Hathcock – Well when you’re superior orders you to cut your hair 4 times a month, and you still don’t do it, you see where that sort of thing starts.
Parkhill – So you believe he operated against the norm because he refused to… cut his hair
Hathcock – Ah, you gotta understand, it’s the insubordination.
Parkhill – So, Major Morse was insubordinate.
Hathcock – At all times. Every single order, didn’t matter what it was, he fought with it. “Go through this specific lane”, no he wants to go through sector 38-U by Persephone. Grab the weapons drop from a warehouse on Ezra, no he says it’s a better idea to contact a group on Sihnon for medical supplies because we need those more. Every little thing, didn’t matter what it was, he’d either fight it, or flat out not do it.
Parkhill – I see, and so he was counter productive to the divisions plan.
Hathcock - … Well…. It was… well not exactly. It sometimes had its benefits.
Parkhill – What sort of benefits?
Hathcock - … Look a few times he got lucky on a call, and grabbed supplies just before an outpost got caught. But this was a military unit and orders are to be followed.
Parkhill – I see. So Major Morse’s mission was to deal in supplies such as yourself?
Hathcock – Well… that…
Parkhill – There’s more?
Hathcock – Well…I… I don’t know.
Parkhill – You don’t know because there’s something that was classified to you, or you don’t know because you don’t want to tell me.
Hathcock – It’s complicated.
Parkhill – Mr. Hathcock, if I find out that you are withholding information from me, then I will see to that…
Hathcock – No, no, it’s just… well… dammit.
Parkhill – Tell me what it was Mr. Hathcock what the Major’s mission was.
Hathcock - … Sometimes command had more serious missions to be carried out, behind enemy lines, you know. And there weren’t a lot of ships that operated that deep into the Central Planets.
Parkhill – What sort of missions?
Hathcock - … Well… you know.
Parkhill – Enlighten me.
Hathcock - … you know… sabotage… infiltrations… intel gathering.
Parkhill – So the Major’s group were saboteurs?
Hathcock – No, no…. shit…. buhn dahn
Parkhill – Excuse me?
Hathcock – No, not you, m… Look, Morse’s group wasn’t saboteurs. We just needed a ship to transport teams in and out. Morse volunteered, and his ship was a good size for it.
Parkhill – So the Major was responsible for transporting these teams in and out of the Central Planets.
Hathcock - … Yeah… he was.
Parkhill – So after 2509, what happened to you’re division.
Hathcock – The supply lines got to heavily monitored, and the Army needed support craft, so we were all transferred out.
Parkhill – And that was the last you heard of the Major?
Hathcock – Well, that and he was switched into infantry support under the General like most of us.
Parkhill – The General being General Longstreet?
Hathcock – Yeah. But what’s this all about?
Parkhill – Thank you Mr. Hathcock, that will be all.
Hathcock – But hey, what do you want with all this.
Parkhill – This inquiry is concluded Mr. Hathcock, you will be returned to Verbena on he first available transport.
