Sapeth politely applauded along with everyone else at the announcement. Dael had proven himself over the last mission, and the promotion was well earned. And Sapeth was interested in seeing what his next assignment was going to be now.

Alison skidded to a stop just inside the holodeck doors, and silently cursed. She hadn’t meant to be late, but she had been looking over the latest astrological data dump they had received from Starfleet HQ, and had lost complete track of the time.

She made her way into the crowd, trying to blend in, and pretend she hadn’t just run through the ship to get there.

Kyle looked over to see Lieutenant Barr trying to skulk her way through the crowd and couldn’t help but smile, dropping briefly from the podium to rescue her from the throng, “Allow me Lieutenant,” he said, extending a hand.

“Oh! Thank you!” she said taking Kyle’s hand, and letting herself get pulled through the crowd.

The blur of the new Chief Science Officer entering the holodeck again briefly distracted the moderately mentally exhausted CO before she shook her head lightly, her straight blonde hair rippling with the motion. “Congratulations, Lieutenant. I look forward to continuing to work with you aboard the Challenger,” she responded, forcing the slightly verbose version of what she truly wanted to say through her lips and then looking at him expectantly to make clear that he was dismissed.

Dael nodded towards the Captain at attention and began making a path away from the podium.

“Indeed, congratulations Lieutenant,” Sapeth said walking up to the stage.

Eric put aside his popcorn and joined the Captain and Sapeth, coming to the new Chief Engineer’s ‘rescue’.

“Congratulations, Lieutenant,” the XO said, shaking the young Betazoid’s hand, while leading him back towards the festivities and the gathering of the other officers.

“I’m looking forward to seeing your duty roster for Engineering tomorrow,” he continued with a grin, knowing Sapeth would pick up that he wasn’t being too serious. “But for now, why don’t you enjoy your new promotion a bit.”

-Cmdr. Eric Holmman, XO

“You should have access to the crew files by the time we return to Main Engineering. I believe one hour to celebrate should be sufficient before having to return to your duties. We have much to go over before I am set to depart the ship,” Sapeth said continuing the joke that the XO started. Most people didn’t realize that Vulcans still had a sense of humor. However, coming from a Vulcan the statement came out a lot more serious sounding.

Lt Sapeth - CE

“Thank you both sirs, I appreciate your confidence in me.” Dael said before catching all the new information concerning his duties. He noted some mental amusement coming off of the Commander’s mental waves, but as always, the Vulcan was a stone wall when it came to mental blocks. Oh boy… This new job is going to be interesting
Dael, despite his best efforts to sound competent and knowledgeable (and not at all anxious), knew his next stream of words might have sounded that way if he didn’t say them so quickly. “Duty rosters, right… I’ll make sure to go over that all with Lt. Sapeth sir as soon as things are done. One hour, yes that sounds like enough time. Yes sir, I suppose I’ve got a lot of things to ‘pick your brain’ for as I’ve heard humans say.” He had heard that expression before and had enjoyed it, it seemed to line up very well with the way Betazoids tried to get to know things from one another, and found it interesting it’s source was from a non-telepathic species.

As Alison got her footing after being rescued by Kyle, she turned towards him. “Thank you for the rescue, Lieutenant…”

Lt Barr - CSO

Kyle gave a mock bow, “My pleasure ma’am,” he said with a wink, then swivelled towards the small confectionary table behind the podium and handing the CSO a small glass of champange with one of the small pouches of caramel flavoured popcorn, “Can I tempt you?”, he asked, then, seeing the look of uncertainty on her face said, “Ahh come on lass, we’re off duty, I won’t tell if you don’t.” He handed her the items, winked again and strode off to celebrate with Lieutenant Stadi.

-Lieutenant Junior Grade Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

Alison blinked as Kyle walked off, leaving her holding the champagne flute and a small bag of popcorn. He had left before she could even respond, because there was no issue with having a glass of champagne. Frankly she enjoyed champagne. But she really did not like caramel, she hated how it felt when it got stuck in her teeth.

Taking a sip of the champagne, she turned back towards the crowd, trying to see if there was a group she could join. And perhaps some place where she could leave the popcorn without anyone noticing.

Lt Barr - CSO

After a few minutes of chatting with the CO and XO, Kyle went back over to join Lt. Barr, he smiled as he approached, “My apologies Lieutenant, didn’t mean to leave you in the lurch like that. What do you think of the backdrop?”
