I studied graphic design,
and I enjoy drawing,
:07:06
and I also enjoy drawing
the Star Trek people.
:07:09
One of our charters
in the Federation Alliance
is to perform community service,
:07:14
and as commanding officer,
I'm the role model for my crew,
:07:18
and so I felt it was necessary and a
good decision for me to wear my uniform.
:07:24
For more than a week, everybody's seen
the picture of Barbara Adams...
:07:28
And each morning, there seemed
to be more and more reporters
:07:31
because they were waiting to see
if I was going to come in my uniform,
:07:34
and it got to the point
where there was just a wall
of cameras, tripods, reporters,
:07:38
and I would literally have
to walk all the way around them
just to get to the door
:07:42
because they would not move.
:07:44
It just got ridiculous.
:07:45
My brother had a picture of her
on our refrigerator for two months
:07:49
walking out of the courtroom
in Arkansas.
:07:51
Adams: And one of the newspapers
had reported that every day,
:07:53
I would walk past the reporters
with a Vulcan-like stoicism.
:07:57
Wow!
:07:58
So, they don't know how close
they actually hit the mark,
:08:01
because usually, before
all this brewed up,
:08:03
I would always come
to these conventions
:08:05
and our appearances
as a Vulcan.
:08:08
There was a bus driver
that I'd already met.
:08:11
He kept asking me,
"What are you going to do?
Why do you keep wearing the uniform?
:08:15
What are you going to do if
the president comes down to testify?"
:08:18
And I said,
"I'll wear my uniform."
:08:20
He said, "But it's the president
of the United States!"
:08:23
"I'll wear my uniform."
:08:25
We came to a stoplight.
He turned around and he looked at me,
:08:28
and he said,
"You are a brave woman."
:08:33
Every day, I wear
my communicator badge,
:08:36
my rank pips,
and my tricorder.
:08:38

:08:39
To me, as being an officer in
the Federation Alliance 24 hours a day,
:08:43
even when I'm not in uniform,
I still want that known
:08:46
that I'm at heart
a Starfleet officer.
:08:48
I used to read about her
in the newspaper, and I saw her,
and I got her autograph.
:08:51
Basically, the philosophy
behind Star Trek
:08:54
that she is so,
um, promoting...
:08:59
is the philosophy
behind an honest juror.
