Chapter 14 - Presenting the recovered military pilot insignia patch to the tribunal board as indisputable proof of systemic corruption today.
The military tribunal convened inside the secure chambers of the Pentagon briefing hall under maximum security clearance protocols.
General Catherine Vance stood before the assembled panel of five senior generals, placing the evidence bag on the mahogany table.
Inside the bag rested the torn gold pilot wing insignia patch bearing Dustin's classified squadron serial number.
"This physical evidence links Major Vance directly to unauthorized black-ops smuggling rings operating within our own command structure," Catherine stated.
Murmurs rippled through the gallery of seated officers as the tribunal chairman examined the digital telemetry reports attached.
"These logs implicate not just one rogue pilot, but an entire procurement network spanning three operational sectors," the chairman noted grimly.
"Then we clean house starting today, regardless of rank or institutional reputation," Catherine demanded with unyielding authority.
The tribunal members exchanged uneasy glances, recognizing that Catherine's ironclad case left them zero room for bureaucratic cover-ups.
