COMPARISON OF FLANGE STRESS CALCULATED BY ASME DESIGN CODE AND FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSISSatoshi NAGATA Applied Technology Department Technology Business Division Toyo Engineering Corporation Narashino, Chiba JAPAN Toshiyuki Sawa Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering Hiroshima University Higashi-hiroshima, Hiroshima JAPAN
ABSTRACT A flange strength calculation method for flange joints based on the researches carried out by Waters at el. is adopted in ASME B&PV Code and has been used with many good practices in several decades. However, it is also the fact that there are some cases like that the code calculation gives over conservative results or a leakage trouble occurs even if the calculation meets the code requirements. Discrepancy is pointed out between the calculation condition and the actual condition, too. This paper clarifies the difference of flange stresses calculated by ASME design code and finite element analysis. Furthermore, using the ASME Code formulas proposed by Waters with the bolt load and the gasket load obtained by finite element analysis, flange stresses are calculated and compared with the results of finite element analysis. Finally, the paper discusses the adequacy of flange stress calculation formulas and shows the point to be modified in ASME design method. OBJECTIVES This paper deals with the difference of flange stress calculated by ASME Code formulas and finite element analysis in several gasketed flange joints. It is well known that the flange calculation method adopted in ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII[1] is one of the major design methods for the gasketed flange joints and widely used in the history of oil & gas, chemical and the other industries. There are many good practices to design those flanges. However, some problems are pointed out like that the relationship between the gasket seating condition and operating condition is not considered, the definition of the gasket factors m & y are not clear, and so on. In this decade, efforts to develop a new leakage based flange design method have been made to overcome those problems and to response the demands by the environmental point of view. Authors developed a simplified method to calculate the deformation of the gasketed flange joints due to the application of internal pressure after
bolted-up using the load factor. By this calculation, the changes in the bolt load and the gasket load can be calculated and the gasket stress distribution is also obtained. A leakage evaluation is available by using the calculated gasket deformation. Here, to complete the flange design, flange strength should be also checked by using the calculated bolt and gasket loads. An accurate stress calculation seems necessary, though the stress calculation available is the ASME formulas only at present. Thus, the present study focuses on the suitability of ASME flange stress formulas. The calculated flange stress according to ASME formulas is compared with those calculated by finite element analysis and the difference between those is checked in detail. Finally, the results of the present study are summarized and the problems of the present Code formulas are pointed out. MODELING OF ANALYSIS Figure 1 shows a finite element model for the present study to calculate stress distribution in a gasketed flange joint. An axisymmetric model is employed considering the shape and the loading conditions. It was already verified that the axisymmetric modeling leads to acceptable results in comparison to 3-dimensional modeling by the previous study[2]. Bolts and nuts are modeled by a ring which is an orthotropic solid material and has an equivalent compliance represents total ones in the axial direction for bolts and nuts. Ligament portion of the bolt holes are also modeled by a ring which is orthotropic solid material. These materials consider that the modulus of elasticity in the axial direction is adjusted by the ratio of cross section of the model and that of actual one. The modulus of elasticity in the circumferential direction is omitted. The modulus of elasticity in the radial direction is modeled by the same manner as that of the circumferential direction. Flanges, bolts and nuts are assumed as linear elastic material. The gasket material is modeled as a nonlinear material which can represent the loading-unloading curve of the gasket. The stiffness is only considered in the gasket thickness direction. Figure 2 illustrates the loading-unloading curve for
the gasket which is employed in the present analysis. This idealized curve bases on the loading-unloading test results for spiral wound gaskets. Among the three bodies of flange, bolt and gasket the contact conditions are considered. Finite element analysis for a gasketed flange joint is usually performed by two steps. The bolt-up condition is the first step and represents the condition after completion of bolt tightening. Bolt preload is assumed uniformly distributed to all the bolts in this study and omitted the simulation during the bolt tightening. The pressurized condition is the second step and simulates the condition internal pressure is applied to the joint under the operating condition. Internal pressure and also the end thrust force is applied to the model after bolted up. Finite element analysis in the present study is carried out using ANSYS Release 10.0. Flanges, bolts and nuts are meshed by PLANE183 element which is implemented as a high order 8-node isoparametric element. Gasket is meshed by INTER193 element which is so-called gasket element. Bolt preload is represented by PRETS179 element which is a special element to generate the specified pretension. Contact condition between bearing surface of nut and back side of flange is considered by

FORMULAS FOR FLANGE STRESS The method to calculate flange stress adopted by ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII is based on the research by Waters at el.[3] as it is well known. The followings are the formulas to calculate flange stresses. Longitudinal hub stress

Here, the definitions of the symbols used in the above equations are referred to those explained in the Code. These formulas calculate flange stresses where a moment is applied to the flange ring and the other loads are not considered, though the formulas are used for both bolt-up and operating conditions. Figure 3 shows the analytical model for the calculation. The model consists of three parts pipe, tapered hub and flange ring. Since stress on the flange subjected to a moment is solved based on the theory of shell and plate, the calculated stress is essentially classified in bending stress. Thus, SH is considered as the bending stress in the axial direction at the point A of the hub shown in Fig.3. SR and ST are the bending stress in the radial and tangential directions at the point B of the flange ring shown in Fig.3.
CALCULATION RESULTS Load Factor Load factor is defined by the ratio of bolt load increment to the external axial force applied to the bolted joint. For the gasketed flange joint internal pressure applied, the load factor is determined by the ratio of total bolt load increment or decrement to the end thrust force due to internal pressure[5]. Table 2 shows the load factors calculated from the results of finite element analysis. It is found the load factors to be negative. This means that the bolt load decreases due to the application of internal pressure. The load factor becomes smaller when the flange size becomes larger. For the larger size flange, the bolt load decrement will be substantial and this is the reason why the leakage happens easier for large size flanges than small ones. The ASME flange calculation deals with the gasket seating condition and the operating condition independent each other at present. The loads used in the flange stress calculation under the operating condition do not represent the pressurized condition after bolting-up. Thus, in this study, the loads based on the results of finite element analysis are employed to evaluate the flange stress under the pressurized condition according to the formulas shown as equation (1) through (3).

Fig.3 Analytical Model for ASME Flange Calculation FLANGES STUDIED Standard flanges, Class 150 WN RF from NPS 2 through NPS 24, standardized in ASME B16.5[4] are studied. Table 1 shows major dimensions for the studied flanges. Schedule 40 piping is assumed to be welded to the flanges. ANALYSIS CONDITIONS Flange stresses are calculated for the gasketed flange joints listed in Table 1 by finite element analysis as well as the formulas according to the Code. Stress is evaluated under the bolt-up condition and the pressurized condition, respectively. The bolt preloads are determined by the flange design bolt load for gasket seating defined in the Code. The operating condition is taken as 1MPa internal pressure for Class 150 flanges at room temperature.

Stress Distribution Figure 4(a), 5(a), 6(a) and 7(a) show stress distributions of stress intensity, longitudinal stress, radial stress and tangential stress in NPS24 flange, respectively, obtained by finite element analysis under the bolt-up condition. Figure 4(b) through 7(b) show those under the pressurized condition. Each stress distribution for stress intensity and stress components does not change very much after internal pressure applied from that under the bolt-up condition. The maximum stress intensity appears at the point the hub and the flange ring connected on the back side of hub. Stress evaluation section for the hub stress is taken along the thickness of the larger hub end and the evaluation is done according to Division 2 of ASME B&PV Code Section VIII. Stress evaluation section for the flange ring is also taken along the flange thickness at about the center of the ring.

Fig.7(a) Tangential Stress in Bolt-up Condition Comparison of Flange Stress by ASME and FEA Table 3 shows stress obtained by ASME formulas and finite element analysis. Membrane plus bending stress is evaluated in finite element analysis. Membrane plus bending stress in the longitudinal direction at the section in the larger hub end is taken to compare with the hub stress SH calculated by the equation (1). Membrane plus bending stress in the radial direction and the tangential stress at the section in the flange ring is taken to compare with the radial flange stress SR and the tangential flange ST calculated by equations (2) and (3), in the same manner.
Fig.7(b) Tangential Stress in Pressurized Condition Figure 8 indicates the ratio of the SH calculated by ASME formula to that by finite element analysis. Figures 9 and 10 plot the ratio of the SR and ST to the results by finite element analysis, respectively. Regarding SH shown in Fig.8, the ratio becomes saturated to about 1.5 for larger size flange, though the ratio is over two for NPS10 and smaller. This tendency seems to come from the deviation in the assumptions of the theory adopted in the ASME calculation. For SR plotted in Fig.9, the ratio scatters around 5 and does not show a specific tendency. The discrepancy between the Code formula and finite element analysis is very large. The formula does not seem to
represent the actual stress distribution. About ST indicated in Fig.10, the ratio is somewhat small and less than 1.0 for larger size flanges. The tendency that saturation is observed with the size increasing is as same as the ratio of SH. Table 4 shows membrane plus bending stress intensity through the larger hub end and the flange ring obtained by FEA. Stress levels for both sections are almost same. No significant change in the stress level from bolt-up condition to pressurized condition.

When i or a customer try's to download the PDF invoice the site redirect to the home page, and the PDF will not download/generated. Last versions WP and EE 4 plugins.
May I ask does the Invoice render in html when you initially click the link (just doesn't convert to PDF?)
i think i missunderstood. It shows the invoice in html but the "download PDF" button does not convert or download or do anything.
You could contact your host to see if they have a mod security rule that gets tripped when you try to download the PDF.
If there's no mod security then it may help to check the html in the invoice to see if there's any invalid html. Sometimes if there's invalid HTML in the invoice, then the dompdf converter cannot render the PDF. May I ask is there an event on the site that I could register for as a test so I can check the invoice?
I checked the html within the invoice and there is some invalid html there and that invalid html would cause the PDF converter to fail. What you can do is go to Event Espresso > Messages > Default Message Templates then click to edit the Invoice and switch to Text view. What you'll look for are closing paragraph tags,
thanks a lot. but there is no
. i did not change anything in this Template, it is the standard configuration.

You could check to see if another plugin or a theme function is adding those whenever there is a line break. If you deactivate all other plugins and switch to the default theme does the invoice convert to PDF as expected?
Your invoice template was setup using Event Espresso decaf, so your image URL's are incorrect (note the broken image next to "Name der Veranstaltung" as an example). You can edit the template manually and change all references to
That will regenerate the Invoice template based on the current directory in use by EE.
Next, go to Event Espresso -> Messages -> Settings -> PDF.
First, make sure it's enabled and that the Invoice (and Receipt) message types are not in the 'Inactive message types' section.
If they are not, then drag the Invoice message type from Active to Inactive, wait a few seconds and drag it back.
That basically confirms that the settings are in sync with EE.
Now retest the PDF button, does it work?
Have you checked in your servers error logs to confirm if there's an error being thrown when EE tries to generate the PDF?
thank you for reply, i did it all, i have deactivated all plugins, reset the Template and test it again, same result. but i found the issue. i deleted the logo

Correct, so something is adding those p tags and what ever that something is it needs to stop doing that.
Have you checked to see if another plugin or a theme function is adding those whenever there is a line break? If you deactivate all other plugins and switch to the default theme does the invoice convert to PDF as expected?
see my answer before. i have deactivated all plugins, themes, reset the Template and test it again. same result.
You mentioned deactivating plugins, but did you temporarily switch to another theme? If what I suspect is happening, is happening, then something on your site is converting line breaks to closing paragraph tags. So a workaround would be to go into text mode of the editor and remove any line breaks where tags are added. For example, right after the [INVOICE_LOGO], you could move the next line's contents up so it's on the same line with [INVOICE_LOGO].
but when i delete only this [INVOICE_LOGO] in the editor then i can download the pdf, so this means the
and yes i switched to a default theme
Actually, no, the [INVOICE_LOGO] shortcode does not include a closing p tag. You can check the source code and see there's no

now i found the cause. the .png picture it self was the problem. when i use an other .png picture it works. only with this one not. maybe because it is one with transparent Background or something else is in this picture wich make it happend. thats why the shortcode works fine for everyone else.
I downloaded the PNG used on the Invoice which caused the failure and set it as the Invoice logo on one of my test sites. The PDF generated correctly on that site, so it is something on the server preventing the PDF from generating.
As there are no errors logged at all, we can't say what it is but at a guess, it could be a missing PHP module or something your host is doing with the request for the image, hotlink protection maybe (that's a bit of a log shot thought).

I have known Sandra all my life. She is one of my best friends, a dedicated mother and wife, and a smart entrepreneur. Her ability to recognize the business changes and to adapt her company accordingly is outstanding. Self confidence and lack of fear is what has made her thrive in a very competitive market.
In her words:
My mother and I started this business , when I had my first child. I realized that my priorities made a 360 degrees turnaround and that I wanted to be able to manage my time as I pleased. So I quit my banking job and we started Letts Dreams http://lettsdream.com/en/
The idea came after noticing a lack of really nice, classic pajamas in the market. We identified a niche. Being Peruvian and having access to Peru's amazing Pima cotton, positioning ourselves as a luxury but affordable sleepwear line was and continues to be our goal.

A non-invasive prenatal paternity test can save you thousands of dollars and months or years of stress without posing any significant risk to mother or child.
A Michigan father was jailed for calling out a corrupt legal system. Now a jury says he had the right. How does Facebook factor in to your custody case?
A single father whose parental rights were wrongly terminated won an appeal against the Arizona Department of Child Safety based on the agency falsifying evidence and interfering with the reunification process. According to AZCentral.com, the mother of the child had her rights terminated shortly after birth in 2015. The father, known in court documents as […]

The Ohio father lured to his death in a McDonald's parking lot last month had just won custody of his three children. How could the courts have helped keep this family safe?
While attitudes toward parenting rights differ greatly from country to country (and sometimes, from state to state) the European Convention creates an obligation for all of its members to keep family ties strong.

Custody and parenting time is handled differently in Japan than it is in the West, though new rules could change things. Efforts are aimed at making child exchanges easier and more enforceable.

I see and understand. Wouldn't want to go through a bunch of code just to try explaining what would need to be done, but I certainly appreciate the response.
Changing frame to self seems to work for the icon, just need to adjust position which I can do.

0I suppose it would be oUF version 1.0? At least that's what it says in the oUF.toc. I am using Lyn's layout version 0.8 with it.Posted in: Unit Frames
Tried the pet happiness icon code you posted haste, but I can't get it to work. That or I am not putting it in the right place in the lua.
When I do enter the code (tried several places) it just causes the unit frames to not load and/or causes the default Blizzard unit frames to show.
0I have a hunter and have been trying to get the pet health bar to show color of pet happiness, but I seem to only be able to get the pet's power bar to show as such.Posted in: Unit Frames
I used p3lim's code to get it to work for pet power bar, but how would I change it to get it to work with pet health bar?
I tried changing the following and it didn't help.
self.Power.colorHappiness to self.Health.colorHappiness
self.UNIT_MANA to self.UNIT_HEALTH
Below is p3lim's from page 100.
local _, class = UnitClass('player') if(unit == 'pet' and class == 'HUNTER') then self.Power.colorHappiness = true self:RegisterEvent('UNIT_HAPPINESS') self.UNIT_HAPPINESS = self.UNIT_MANA end
I thought about it some more, how do I add the happiness icon to the left of the pet health bar if I can't get the pet health bar to use pet happiness?

It's inspired by a very old UI of Duke. Well atleast I think he also placed his acitonbars IN his Unit Frame. I jsut use it for CD's.
p.s. I was slacking in the group it seems =( TO much guildchat + UI tweakin = Bad DPS.
All in All like always its still WIP. But I'm very happy with the result up till now.

Very nice, Sav. Here's what I've been working on - not an up-to-date shot as I've fixed a lot of the little issues I saw after this raid - but it's got elements of Benea, Tapestry, and Tiany's UI in it.

0Seerah, the (Player >> Other >> Layout) worked almost perfectly. :smile:Posted in: Unit Frames
It did not save the position of my auroras from my main, but I just wrote down the setting info and applied it to my new character and all is well now.
I also saw that there was a report on jira for the profile problem.
Again, thank you so much!
0Posted in: Unit FramesQuote from Seerah »
You must first Save a Layout to be able to Export it. But, since your characters are on the same account, then once you save a Layout (Player -> Other -> Layout -> Save) you can then choose that layout from another character (Player -> Other -> Layout -> Choose). I'm not in-game atm, so I'm not 100% on the wording of the options...
I tried changing profiles in Cowtip last night and did get an error, but I thought that it had changed - perhaps they were already the same (Copied) though... But I did report it to ck. However, if you've wiped your saved variables and started afresh, and still cannot switch profiles... Report this on jira. :) (First see if it hasn't been reported already - if it has, you may add your comments to that report if needed.)
Thank you for your suggestions Seerah. I will try to save my layout first as well as check jira for any reports.
0Read through all the pages and didn't find anything in regards to this.Posted in: Unit Frames
I am having NO problems with PitBull on my main character. Everything works and stayed the same from PitBull 1.0 to 2.0, but I am having problems with any new characters I create.
Just recently started a new priest character and went to copy the profile settings from my main to use the same layout/settings, but this only moves the frames and doesn't position the text/auroras or any other settings to what my main has setup. Also, when I have tried to choose a different profile it removes all text and info from the unit frames and it just a big blurry box, but this doesn't happen every time and I can probably get a screen shot if necessary.
I have done the usual recommended fixes: reloadui, uninstall/reinstall with and without externals, deleted Add On/WTF folders, etc.
I also attempted to "Export Layout", but the option is grayed out.
Is copying profiles bugged and exporting layouts disabled/bugged?
Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
*PS: I get no errors from PitBull or any add ons.

I am also receiving this error. When I first login to WoW I only get 1 error for this, but usually after about 15-20min of playing it starts increasing. Just before I logged out of game to post this same error, I had over 300x of the error after playing for about 30min.

Glass Slipper Organization
Address:5440 Spring Garden Rd
Cause: Youth
Ampai Thammachak
About Us:
The Glass Slipper Organization is a non-profit started by five high school students to help other students in financial need. We collect and donate prom dresses and other attire FREE of cost to anyone who attends our annual GIVEAWAY events. Our goal is to help ease stress and ensure that everyone has the chance to feel exceptionally beautiful on their prom day by receiving a dress as a gift from their community. We are partnered with Halifax Public Libraries, which provide a location for our event, and are sponsored by Don Schelew Dry Cleaners who generously clean all donated dresses before our giveaway event. We are looking for talented, passionate individuals who are looking to help out their community! We have positions for all genders and ages.
Our Story:
Glass Slipper collects donated prom dresses and give them out to girls in need! We decided on this idea because we realized how fortunate we are even to be able to worry about what dress we will wear while there are a lot of other girls who have way more intense things to worry about; making the idea of a perfect prom dress very difficult!
We are a team that gives everyone the Cinderella experience, regardless of their financial situation!
Mission Statement:
Our goal is to help ease stress and ensure that everyone has the chance to feel exceptionally beautiful on prom day!

Chapter Twenty-Three
The round table in the center of the main amphitheater was gone, replaced by two long, coldly rectangular tables, one for the prosecution and the other for the defense. The two sides sharply divided by the center aisle between them and the rings of audience seats behind them that were largely empty except for the immediate row behind each opposing side. Damar and his duo of representatives and squad of sentries chose to cluster in the first seats that caught the Legate's eye as he came down the aisle; it was the side of the prosecution. A few comfortable rows behind Bashir, Kira and the Sorges behind Odo and Lange at the table, and much too uncomfortably close for Quark.
"I don't like this…" Quark muttered under his breath as the Cardassians clanged in to file six and respectively seven across in the two rows directly opposite his one. "I am really beginning to not like this…thirteen's an unlucky number. It's an unlucky number, ask anyone."
"Well, not like…" Garak swallowed back the natural nervousness anyone would feel having to potentially bear witness against a man they all believed they knew, while having all these other thoughts and knowledge of persons they hardly knew at all, and yet knew so much about.
"Go on," Quark said. "Tell me what's to like. I dare you, tell me what's to like."
"Relax," Leeta chided. "They don't know anything unless you tell them; that's what Garak means."
"No, my dear," Garak slowly shook his head, still trying desperately to read between the lines; all of them. There were so many of them by this point, with good indications of there being more. "No, that isn't what Garak means… necessarily. But a good and general rule to live by, yes. That is a good and general rule to live by."
"Family of the groom, family of the bride," Bashir made some inane remark to Kira warming the seat beside him. "Sorry, it's me. I'm nervous -- aren't you nervous?" Determined, possibly. Undisturbed by the prospect of having to bear witness against the Chief. Kira got up at one point just prior to the swearing in ceremony to sit down next to Lange about as frail and pale and nervous looking as one would expect; a brief, noticeable pause in Janice's focused anxiety with the appearance of Damar.
"It's all right," Kira's hand touched hers, Veronica Sorge leaning over to whisper the same. "The hearing is closed; it's closed."
Closed. Now that was an interesting presumption in Bashir's opinion. What looked empty in its vastness, was not empty. Fifty Federation and Bajoran Special Forces surrounded every plausible entrance and exit of the amphitheater. More importantly beside Garak, Rom, Leeta and Morn, comfortable themselves a few rows behind Worf and Dax immediately behind the Chief, Ch'Pok and Sisko, Quark sat on the side of the defense; closed was not the word. Bashir could hear the dull ch-ching of latinum exchanging hands now; a profit waiting to be made, the Chief's story far too good to let lie in waste.
"A bit cynical, are we?" Sorge commented, crossing his legs in boredom.
"Oh, yes, sorry," Bashir apologized. "Hadn't realized I'd spoken aloud."
"You haven't," Sorge grunted. "Other than that nonsense about families and brides."
"Oh, yes, well, it is rather like it, isn't it? The arrangement of it?"
"Court's court," Sorge found no comparison to a wedding beyond that.
"Yes," Bashir agreed. "Precisely what I mean; the arrangement. Two sides with some judicial dignitary or another commanding center stage…" his gaze turned forward to the vacant witness stand waiting and facing them a respectable distance from the prosecution table. The judicial bench set down in its familiar position next to it with a second witness stand waiting ready for use to the judge's right, forward of the defense. For the purpose of potential dual and simultaneous cross examination? Bashir guessed. Or simply a matter of convenience? With the witnesses from either side not having to travel too far, their respective and opposing Advocates instead having to be the ones to suffer and bear the emotional stress of penetrating each other's territory, all while maintaining and holding their own?
"It's certainly far removed," Bashir sighed. "Quite far removed from the symbolism of a round table; outright hostile."
"Thinking of being hostile?" Sorge questioned.
"Well, no," Bashir frowned. "How did you -- "
"That time you did speak aloud," Sorge nodded.
"Oh," Bashir said. "Well, yes, obviously I must have," he smiled. "Somewhat absurd to suggest telepathy -- "
"Somewhat worthless," Sorge grunted.
"On a Klingon, you mean," Bashir obligingly stood up along with the rest of them with the entrance of T'Lara and her appointed deputy; a solemn Vulcan male with starched, black hair. "Yes, that's certainly true. It's more than the mind's ability, it's whether or not one has the stomach for it; few do, I rather suspect."
"No, that's not what I mean," Sorge corrected. "What I mean is the ability to obtain knowledge doesn't change anything; not a fact."
"We'll see, won't we?" Bashir raised his right hand in oath. "My facts say the Chief is guilty, it's just me who can't believe it…Never will," he glanced across the divide to Dax. Certain she was having the same difficulty as he was with all of this even though her intensive study of barbaric culture practices proved as inclusive in being able to exonerate the Chief as his chemical analyses.
"What manner of nonsense is this?" Damar's grumble was clearly audible behind him.
"Humor us, Legate," Ch'Pok beseeched with a sly grin; the Advocate primed and dressed for the occasion with his split-breast tunic and traditional sleeveless vestment brushing the floor. "It's a Federation tradition; once swearing not to lie, one, of course, won't lie."
"It's a waste of time," Damar insisted. "If the Human isn't guilty, why are we even here?"
"Oh, well, actually," Bashir turned around to the explain one of the finer points of Federation justice, but he caught a glimpse of Sisko and thought the better of it.
"Also a Federation tradition," Odo took over defining the premise of innocent until proven guilty with a sharp nod for the waiting deputy. "Yes, we swear; have already. Let's get on with it. Presuming the defense has a few opening remarks, I shouldn't have to file a motion to hear them."
T'Lara's face said "try it". Her mouth said "Advocate?" And so it was already not her courtroom, but Odo's. Ch'Pok's. Sisko's.
"By all means," the Advocate promptly removed his vestment for better freedom of movement, took two or three of steps away from his table and faced his audience with a warm, preparative rub of his hands. "In the matter of the UFP versus Chief Engineer Miles Edward O'Brien -- "
"He got it right," Odo sat down with a grunt for Kira staunchly stationed to Lange's right.
She was silent. Ch'Pok elaborating on about the defense's intent to show to the court's satisfaction, O'Brien's innocence, and the unequivocal fact that the Chief was as much a victim as Lange herself.
"Oh, please," Kira turned her head.
"That didn't take long," Odo agreed in time with T'Lara's gavel calling for order.
"He's not a victim!" Kira jumped up. "She's a victim! Look at her! Look at her!"
"Major!" Sisko ordered as they all obediently looked at Lange with her head bent and her hands clasped, mute and staring down on the table.
"I'm sitting," Kira sat with a comforting pat of Lange. "Don't listen to them. Don't pay any attention to anything they say -- you did nothing. He did. He did."
"Or someone did," Odo agreed.
"Prove it," Kira challenged.
To the contrary, Odo was there to prove O'Brien guilty. The former was Ch'Pok's job as stated and now reiterated with the accompanying clarification: "A victim of an audacious plot to disrupt the Bajoran-Cardassian conference…As much a victim, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, as Doctor Lange herself, oh, yes."
"Yes, well, there's no jury," Odo stood up in formal objection to the minutes being distorted.
"A figure of speech, so noted, Constable," T'Lara granted.
"Truth, Magistrate," Ch'Pok corrected her. "The truth. Chief O'Brien sits under judgment of his peers; a jury by any other name. So evident by Major Kira's outburst -- and wasn't that the idea?" he turned back to the audience. "The idea of Chief O'Brien's assailants? To demean the Federation representative? Embarrass, entrap, dishonor, destroy, cause a third victim? Oh, yes, a third victim, ladies and gentlemen," his voice and accompanying finger rose. "Three victims…"
"Lange and Dukat," Odo identified for Kira the apparent two other victims of the audacious scheme.
"I know who he's talking about it," she assured.
"Yes, well, implying, perhaps, inferring…" Odo rose to his feet again in preparation of reiterating the prosecution's demand for clarity.
"Surviving victims, I should say, Constable," Ch'Pok preempted him. "The unfortunate demise of the Cardassian assistant Mister Paq at the hands of the Threat Force is so noted for the record…And not without value…" he returned to enlightening the public, "as we travel back …not to Wednesday and the evening of Doctor Lange's assault, but back. To that first fateful evening at Quark's and the assault upon Mister Paq and Gul Dukat. It is here we must begin our efforts to unravel this intricate and monstrous plot together…" he smiled again, suddenly. "Examining step by step the events leading up to my client's assault…With the able assistance of reports…" he secured his data padd to wave in demonstration. "Captain Sisko and Chief Constable Odo…and the firsthand knowledge and experience of Gul Anon Dukat…The defense calls upon Gul Dukat to be its first witness to assist us in determining the facts of that evening…
"For the sanctity of the record, Magistrate, of which my illustrious Constable Odo seems to be most preoccupied…" Ch'Pok was turning around to impress his smile and reasoning upon T'Lara. His closing already being drowned out in a muttered chorus of incredulous "What?" sharp intakes of startled breath, and registered protests; Dukat's not among them, not that Odo heard; Damar's he heard.
"Out of the question! What could Dukat possibly tell you?" the Legate roared in challenge to T'Lara's deadpan: "So ordered".
"Among other things who stabbed him," Odo grunted to Kira attempting to grip the smooth surface of the table in her fists. "Among other things," he suddenly ogled Lange; he wasn't quite sure why. She was nervous, obviously. When they walked in and while they sat. Further unnerved with Ch'Pok's unemotional listing of the charges and the reasons why, and now suddenly relaxed. The tension easing in her shoulders, neck, and upper back.
"Out of the question…Out of the bloody question…" Bashir was on his feet behind Odo. "You'll not turn this into a three ring circus invoking witnesses and rehashing details that even I know are utterly irrelevant except for making good show. I simply won't allow it. The woman has been terrorized enough. Dukat couldn't possibly have anything to do with, or say anything about this."
"What about Pfrann Dukat?" Odo asked, still focused on Lange, aware of the cartilage she called bone and the muscle-bound Cardassian steel of the Gul that unless Dukat was remarkably contained he would have, not could have killed her.
"Pfrann Dukat?" Bashir stammered to a pause.
"Feasible or not?"
"Feasible?" Bashir echoed. "Well, feasible based on what -- "
"Age, height, weight, lack thereof and inherited penchant for companionship of the female gender," Odo listed impatiently. "Never mind, we'll explore it later."
Because right now apart from Damar steaming, Kira seething, Garak and Quark alternately gasping for air, and Captain Sisko harmonizing with T'Lara's demand for order, Gul Anon Dukat was generally unimpressed. Citing "No I don't have a problem with it," in reply to Ch'Pok's pleasantly encouraging "Gul Dukat?"
He ascended to the witness stand. All six feet, three hundred and fifty or so pounds of him, arms, chest and head dwarfing the podium as he settled in the chair. "I said Pfrann," Odo reminded Kira's repeated notification that Lange was alive, if not greatly improved within the last minute.
"I know what you said," she hissed over Lange's bent head. "Dukat, I believe!"
"Yes, well, Dukat I don't believe," Odo assured. Not this one, the one before him, or any other one that was likely to come after. Not to be personally, that is physically involved with Lange's attack, nor for that matter a word he said; not that he said much with any affectations really. Just that grating, choppy accent of his and continued general disinterest agreeing with Ch'Pok's recital of the-facts-as-they-were-known-to-be until the Advocate got to the part about identifying the Threat Force that had invaded Quark's; Bajorans. When Ch'Pok got to the Bajorans, Dukat's posture took on little more insolence along with his tone.
His brother bristled up in the stands. Anon saw him, felt him; Pfrann so terrified of him slipping on the Klingon's oil. The lawyer knew something. He thought he did. He wanted to; was attempting to. "Yes, Bajorans," Anon agreed roughly with the grinning, ugly face trying to be coy. "Two of them. I don't know who they were -- yellow suits; Special Forces," he spoke directly to Sisko; condemning the Federation, accusing them of incompetence. "You say no, I say yes. Bajoran Special Forces. Who cares what Shakaar and you claim; not me."
"Move to correct," the Changeling Odo rose to his feet. "That would be the Federation, Bajor and the ruling Cardassian Civilian Council who concur to accept the Threat Force not to be comprised of Bajoran Special Forces."
"I am Central Command!" Anon reminded with a harsh thump of his fist against the breast of his black and silver tunic of armor.
"The embodiment of," Odo did not dispute.
"Objection," Ch'Pok raised an amused finger in protest. "Prosecution is badgering the witness."
"Sustained," T'Lara chastised Odo. "Prosecution will confine itself."
"Where were we?" Ch'Pok smiled at Anon.
"Bajorans," he insisted. "They were all Bajorans."
"Objection," Odo rose.
"Who I saw!" Anon snapped. "I was on the steps. My brother. Janice…that one," he signaled toward Leeta. "Quark, Garak; I pushed them."
"Pushed?" Ch'Pok stopped him.
Anon's eyes rolled. "Janice, yes. That one -- " his hand signaled toward Leeta, again. "Down. Out of the way. I jumped; my brother."
"And then there were two Bajorans," Ch'Pok nodded in satisfaction.
"No," Anon's weight shifted forward with a cold sneer. "And then I instructed Pfrann to assist Sisko with suppressing the rebels; he needed it."
Ch'Pok smiled, Sisko continued not to. "And then what did you do?" the Advocate questioned. Anon looked at him, Ch'Pok smiled again. "Gul Dukat?"
"I attempted to get them out of there; out of the way. Janice. The Ferengi. Garak. That one -- " his hand waved.
"Leeta," Rom piped up with immediate apologies to T'Lara's gavel. "Um…Sorry. Just, you know, that's who she is."
"For the record," Leeta added.
"Oh, Jeez…" O'Brien hung his head.
"Relax, Chief," Sisko advised.
"Relax? I can't relax! Julian's right! Why is he even up there? What's he got to do with any of this?"
Sisko had no idea; interested, yes, he had to admit.
"It has all the makings of a circus!" O'Brien insisted. "Trust me! It has all the makings of a circus!"
"At which time you were attacked," Ch'Pok prompted Anon. "When you attempted to bring the Bajoran delegate to safety…"
"No, not I," Anon corrected. "The Ferengi and Garak -- and that one," he pointed to Leeta. "Leeta. I ordered them to remove Janice from the scene; the Vulcan was dead."
"And then you were attacked," Ch'Pok nodded.
"We were attacked," Anon emphasized.
"By two Bajorans…" Ch'Pok moved back to the table to check his notes. "One you struck, I believe? With a Federation phaser rifle?"
"Yes, one I struck -- two he did. The alien," the hand swished out in indication of the bulky, large figure sitting with the Ferengi and Garak; the tailor's and his eyes met briefly. Garak's wide with their usual intent look of startled surprise. Anon's cold with a message and warning of silence or death; it wasn't by accident Tan perched on the end seat of the row directly across from them.
"Morn," Ch'Pok offered T'Lara. "Let the record so state."
"Whoever," Anon scoffed. "I remember the knife. I remember the Infirmary."
"Reasonable," Ch'Pok agreed. "What time were you released from the Infirmary?"
"Released?" Anon thought about that before answering. "I don't know. 1500, 1600, the next day? I released myself -- "
"Yes, well, actually -- " Bashir rose.
"Objection," Odo overruled him.
"Overruled, Constable," T'Lara corrected once she finished banging the gavel down in warning to Bashir. "You will have a chance to cross examine the witness."
"I don't need a chance. Less interest. Matter of accuracy of record that's all. And the record clearly shows Doctor Bashir to be the one who released Gul Dukat."
"No, I released me," Anon insisted. "What was Bashir going to say? No?"
"So indicated as a matter of opinion, Gul Dukat," T'Lara granted. "Be advised the court understands Advocate Ch'Pok seeks an informal accounting of the events, as it is logical you are unfamiliar with Federation jurisprudence. You are instructed to confine your answers to the questions asked."
"What?" Anon said, her stiff and stilted speech lost on him.
"Advocate?" T'Lara's head tipped, looking for assistance from the Klingon.
"Talk to me," Ch'Pok complied with his smile for Anon.
Talk to him? The young Gul was studying him; there was something in the look. An undercurrent beneath the bristling energy easily interpreted as hostility. "Nervousness?" Dax chanced risking T'Lara's gavel to mention to Benjamin.
"Anger perhaps, yes, Commander. Impatience," Sisko's nod incorporated an understanding of T'Lara's glance. "No questions, Magistrate. Please continue."
"Upon your release from the Infirmary…" Ch'Pok resumed inquiring.
"I returned to my quarters."
"Is that all?"
He didn't understand the question; Ch'Pok was smiling again. "Did you go anywhere else, Gul Dukat? Other than your quarters? Quark's, for example…" he checked his notes.
"Yes," Anon waved. "To the holosuites. That was later."
"How much later?"
Anon groaned. "I don't know. Eighteen, 1900. It was with permission, if that's what you want to know. That one; Bashir. Ask him."
"No need," Ch'Pok reassured. "An informal accounting, that's all, as Magistrate T'Lara has mentioned."
"Pattern of movement," Anon understood the supposed premise of the interrogation. "You're saying we were under observation by the Threat Force since boarding Terok Nor."
"Deep Space Nine," Odo interjected without troubling to stand.
"Entirely possibly, if not obvious, wouldn't you agree?" Ch'Pok's brows dipped in their furrowed V formation.
"Possible, obvious -- irrelevant," Anon shrugged.
"Irrelevant?" Ch'Pok was intrigued. "You were attacked, Gul Dukat, the evening before."
Anon eyed him. "That was different."
"Different, as it was the evening before; Monday," Ch'Pok nodded. "To where we are now talking about Tuesday…As it might interest you to know that on Tuesday, 1545 is the actual time you secured the holosuites for the purpose of a Cardassian sauna from the proprietor of Quark's."
"Secured. Not employed. No, it doesn't interest me. I know what time I attended the sauna."
"Approximately 18, 1900," Ch'Pok agreed. "A point for the record, Gul Dukat, that's all; how long were you in attendance at the sauna?"
He had to think again before calculating a guess. "Hours? Five of them? Six? I don't know. Your time record is different than mine. Mine says breakfast, not what Sisko says to be breakfast," the hand swished out annoyed, the contorted face suddenly shifting away from Sisko to grin widely for his brother sitting attentive in the audience. "Pfrann was angry something had happened to me. Remember that? Yes, it's very true. A concern for something happening to me; it didn't."
"And very little time afforded you to adjust to the change in time increments," Ch'Pok nodded.
The Gul's grin faded quickly back into disdain. "I was in the Infirmary twenty-four counts after I arrived. I would say that was little time, wouldn't you?"
"Oh, yes," Ch'Pok assured. "Yes, most definitely…it would be early Wednesday morning by the time you returned to your quarters from the holosuites, if that's of any assistance."
"If you say so," Anon shrugged. "Zero 900 I saw Bashir in the Infirmary. That much I know because he hailed to remind me I was two hours late."
"Remind?" Ch'Pok verified.
Anon huffed. "Three times. Pfrann knows. I had instructions to rest and Bashir wants to know why I am resting -- like you," he accused. "Cardassians rest. You?" he didn't know. Klingons danced or something. Reveled in their wounds. There was also an undercurrent of sly, snide humor in the Gul's testimony as he grew more comfortable with his position on the stand.
"After which you attended an abbreviated session with the Federation and Bajoran delegates."
"No," Anon corrected, "after which Bashir said I was not Changeling and could attend the conference -- they ring a bell like that one," he indicated the standard Federation accruement of gilded brass alloy standing proud on the forward corner of the judge's bench.
"Mandatory blood screenings, Advocate," Sisko identified quietly for Ch'Pok's quizzical approach for his notes. "Gul Dukat is being facetious."
"Attempting, yes," Ch'Pok accepted.
"Aren't you interested as to why?" O'Brien hinted.
"Why?" Ch'Pok treated him with his smile. "Well, why I would think to be obvious. As a Cardassian, he's obligated."
"This is ridiculous, you know?" O'Brien scoffed as Ch'Pok moved back to center stage. "It's absolutely ridiculous."
"It's interesting," was all Sisko would say.
"Following the conference," Ch'Pok read to Anon from the data padd, "you returned with escort to your quarters."
"At what time were you advised by Captain Sisko of the security breech?"
"No time. We were advised of nothing. By Damar, orders for the fleet to embark to Terok Nor, that's all."
"By fleet you mean a squadron of Galor battle cruisers," Ch'Pok nodded. "Currently held in station at the Federation border."
"Why?" Anon said. "You have a fear of battle?"
Ch'Pok chuckled with a grand wave around the amphitheater. "Battle? Over something as trifling as this? I wouldn't think so."
"Trifling," Anon frowned in careful dissection of the expression. "Insignificant." He ogled Janice with the external component fixed to her forehead, winking and blinking its green light at him. Not sure if the color meant something good or bad, or nothing at all, he decided it meant nothing he couldn't fix or change. She looked like Janice looking back at him, weak and whitened to the light, sleepy color of her dress. Her energy and eyes soft, needing protection, not living dead like Borg. He turned to Sisko sitting with his engineer who tried to kill her. "It's significant. We came to talk, not fight. You made the fight; not Cardassia. The Federation isn't paranoid; it is notified. Security is inadequate; you are. You were told; now you know. The fleet is fixed to cross the border with orders; mine. You don't approve? Oh, well," he shrugged. "Give me your complaints to ignore like you ignored mine."
"Objection…" Sisko rose from his seat in anger with the blatantly false accusations designed to provoke, yes, and promote precisely that, a fight.
"So noted as a matter of opinion," T'Lara granted Anon.
"A matter of opinion, my left foot!" Sisko charged. "Conference, Advocate, now!"
"Without accusation, Gul Dukat, your words could be perceived as a threat of military confrontation." Ch'Pok cautioned with a turn on his heel for Sisko at the table.
"Threat?" Anon scoffed. "You have me confused with some other Gul Dukat."
Sisko blinked. "I wouldn't think so," he corrected coldly.
"No?" Anon jumped up, the Cardassian troupe behind Odo immediately responding, security immediately responding to them. "One hundred and sixteen civilians are dead! They went to the Ferengi to eat, not die! You don't find something wrong with that? I do! I say adjourn. You say no. Two days later you are telling me the Bajoran representative is attacked by Federation. Are you crazy? The fleet crosses. That's it! I will see to the return to Cardassian Space. I will see to the Neutral's return to her colony!"
"Hold your positions!" Sisko thundered above the sudden press of bodies attempting to force their way onto the floor against a wall of others attempting to hold them back. "I said, come to order!" he grabbed the nearest body to him; it was the Chief who Sisko promptly slammed right back down in his seat.
"It's a time bomb!" O'Brien sputtered. "You're right, it's a damn time bomb waiting to happen!"
"Has happened, Chief!" Sisko corrected. "Has happened! Constable?"
"Over here," Odo hailed from the witness podium.
"No, it's all right, it's all right, I'm all right…" Anon reassured his brother, up over the tops of the seats and at his side at the stand, someone's phaser rifle securely in hand.
"He's quick," Dax paused to nod at Worf.
"Yes," Worf sighed, "he is quick."
Lithe, slender, vicious, and thirsty for action; blood thirsty. "Some other time perhaps," Odo's arm cracked forward to snatch the phaser rifle from Pfrann's grip. The eyes turned on him; gold and bright. "Go ahead," Odo encouraged. "Try it."
"No, don't." The smarter one of the two stopped the foolishness of the younger. "I'm fine. I said, go with Tan; sit down. That's an order."
"Waiting to be obeyed," Odo secured the Sentinel's arm, aiming Pfrann toward the waiting scowl of the Sentinel Tan with some additional advice for the Gul. "That goes for you, too. It's a court of law -- "
"Not Quark's," Anon straightened his tunic, finding Sisko's attention in the receding sea of yellow jumpsuits and Cardassian uniforms. "What are you looking at?"
Looking at? Precisely that; him. Listening intently to the Gul's anger he would have difficulty believing in even though he was hearing it himself. "You," Sisko replied. "I am looking at you."
Anon nodded coarsely. "One hundred and sixteen civilians dead with their forks still in hand; it would never happen on Cardassia. No knife in my stomach…no Federation attacking Neutrals for daring to agree with the Union above you…" his waving hand isolated Janice being consoled back down into her seat by Nerys and two gray Humans struggling to have their say above Bashir.
Sisko's cheeks pinched. "As this is a court of law, Dukat. Not a platform for propaganda."
"You say propaganda! I say conspiracy that you could crush if you wanted to!" Anon's fist struck the edge of the podium with the power to inflict a dent.
Sisko glanced, Bashir nodded satisfied from his station of soothing Janice frightened by the violent outburst of emotion. "As I said, his involvement, out of the question."
"It's all right," Anon assured Sisko. "We have justice on Cardassia, the same as you. You allow the Threat Force to abort my conference. Attack and defile the Cardassian and Bajoran delegates -- my father waits on Elba II to talk to you. You listening, Federation?" he verified with O'Brien. "The Emperor Dukat waits for you."
"Oh, I'm sweating now," O'Brien joked as Sisko slowly returned to the table. "I'm really sweating now."
"That's enough, Chief," Sisko suggested, hearing T'Lara's reminder of his original call for a conference with the Advocate. Conference? Yes, Sisko wanted a conference. With Dax, perhaps; Odo. Not Ch'Pok.
"Interesting response," Dax was available to offer the pensive stare searching her.
"Extremely interesting, Commander. I would have to say, extremely interesting. Poised for some reason, yes, definitely. All of them, not just Dukat."
Dax considered the general tension in the room. "Anger?" she offered back what he had said only a few minutes before. Sisko's narrowed stare bore down on her; she smiled. "It's not possible they are just as angry as we are over the situation and everything that has happened? It was Dukat's conference, after all. It has been canceled." She said Dukat, and she meant Dukat. Perhaps as a matter of record it continued to be Damar's conference that was all.
"I suppose it's possible, Commander, yes," Sisko agreed finally.
Dax nodded. "And simply compounded by the fact they are Cardassian."
"Who don't tread lightly, Commander, that's also very true…No," Sisko turned around in answer to T'Lara's question. "No, a conference is not necessary at this time, Magistrate."
"You may continue, Advocate," she directed.
"Thank you," Ch'Pok stepped back into the spotlight. "Only a few more questions of the witness, if the court sees fit to allow…"
Her head tipped. "The court allows."
"Allow…" Sisko awakened from his rumination quickly with a suspicious glance for the data padd Ch'Pok held in hand.
"Gul Dukat?" the Advocate tested the waters before proceeding.
"What?" Anon said belligerently. "If I ordered the Klingons deaths aboard the cruiser, you wouldn't have to ask, you'd know it."
"It would seem unlikely for the Tir to volunteer harboring some Bajoran terrorists, wouldn't it?" Ch'Pok's steps brought him swiftly forward, the padd extended, his smile entrenched.
"The Tir?" O'Brien startled.
"Every place but, Chief," Sisko acknowledged sourly the one avenue not investigated following the riot at Quark's. "Every place but."
"Yeah, but…" O'Brien said.
"It would better explain the suspect's ability to overpower Martok's bridge crew," Dax was also quickly alert. "The appearance of a Bajoran officer may have only been a holographic shield; the intruder certainly had and employed holographic ability on the Promenade."
"A holographic projection of a Bajoran activated and deactivated to deflect attention away from the Klingon bridge; the transporter's determined destination point." Worf still held doubts about a single Cardassian's ability to better five Klingons. "In the confusion it is possible I assumed the transport's point of origin to be the security office when it was the Tir. The Cardassians utilized the situation at Quark's in an attempt to implicate Gowron as the supporter of the Threat Force; I owe General Martok an apology." he concluded.
Dax smiled. "Also possible."
"Entirely possible, Mister Worf," Sisko nodded, focused on Ch'Pok and his data padd. "Entirely possible."
"Gul Dukat?" Ch'Pok tempted Anon likewise eyeing the data padd. "An educated opinion, no more. If you would take a moment to review…"
"Give it to me," Anon accepted the data log, his expression as bland as T'Lara's had been, his examination as brief before he looked up to sit back in his seat.
"Gul Dukat?" the Klingon invited as the Federation held their breath.
"No," Anon declined, an answer simple, direct, and unsatisfying for the Advocate and the audience watching them.
"No?" Ch'Pok cocked his head, puzzled. "I'm afraid I don't understand -- "
"I said no!" Anon snapped, the tension in his brother rising along with his, building again, as was the room's. Eyes starting to dart back and forth between each other; Nerys' face contorted; Sisko's head cocked slightly, watching and waiting. "What don't you understand? You asked, I'm telling you. Not opinion; fact. You understand fact? This isn't fact. It's lies. False. Untrue."
"Oh, yes, I do understand what you're attempting to convey…" Ch'Pok assured. "But, no, I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. Surely, it stands to reason the information has been confirmed -- "
"Which is why you ask me, right?" Anon interrupted.
"As it has been verified to be authentic," Ch'Pok nodded. "By Federation and, of course, Klingon analyses -- "
"And now by Cardassian!" Anon insisted. "Who says no!"
"No, what?" Ch'Pok pressed.
Anon groaned. The Klingon smiled. The Vulcan sat on her tower shaking her head. "The witness will answer…"
"What?" Anon demanded. "Answer what? It is not what it appears to be. You understand that? It is not what it appears to be."
"Not what it appears to be…" Ch'Pok savored before he shrugged with a flourishing motion of surrender for their enraptured group of spectators. "Well, what it appears to be is you and Doctor Lange engaged in a variety of copulative acts."
"You son-of-a-bitch!" Anon was up from his seat screaming profanities above the new wave of incredulous whats spreading over the faces of O'Brien, Sisko, Kira, Bashir. Pfrann up and over the seats, back at his brother's side, someone else's phaser rifle hastily, and violently collected in the shuffle; a Cardassian's this time as the sentries surged forward to be pressed back.
