Kyle smiled cheekily as the applause subsided, “So where were we?”

-Lieutenant Junior Grade Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

“Shhh,” Alison said shushing Kyle as she pointed to where the Captain was waiting for everyone to quiet down again.

Emmy waited somewhat impatiently for the applause to die down.

“In coordination with Starfleet Command, it is my pleasure to promote you to Lieutenant Junior Grade and to promote you to the role of Chief Medical Officer.” She took a microscopic breath before continuing, “given the nature of the Challenger’s missions, Starfleet Medical feels that a well-qualified nurse is more than capable of being Chief Medical Officer of the ship and mentoring our future doctors and nurses. Congratulations, Lieutenant.” She punctuated the point by efficiently handing the cadet the box containing her new pips.

“Finally, I would like to recognize that Lieutenant Junior Grade Anders has been promoted to full Lieutenant for his exemplary service over the last mission on the Challenger. Congratulations, Lieutenant.”

With that, Emmy strode off of the stage and began to make her way determinedly to a nearby roller coaster.

T’Saie was shaken and caught, once again, unaware and surprised at the announcement that she was to be given a posting as a Chief Medical Officer, not only because she had just graduated but also it wasn’t common for nursing staff to take on such a role. “Thank you, Captain.” she accepted sharply before stepping back as the Captain swiftly made her way to one of the rides.

As she returned to the crowd she wasted no time in replacing her Cadet insignia with her new Lieutenant ones.

Vanessa applauded more loudly when the announcement of the new position was complete, then watched the captain walk away toward… well, that was an interesting choice in ride. Never would have guessed that one for a coaster fan, she mused. She turned her attention back to T’Saie, who was affixing her new rank insignia.

“Let me help with that,” she said as she approached, reaching up to adjust the rank pips. She tweaked one and then stepped back to look at it nodding, then extended her hand. “Congratulations, Lieutenant,” she grinned. “Well deserved.”

Unused to having people so close she couldn’t help but feel slightly hesitant to letting the Counsellor ‘tweak’ her new pips, she wasn’t going to refuse but a small frown appeared on her face. “Thank you, Commander” she smartly quipped, again hesitant to shake hands this time, forgoing her displeasure in order to be polite by meeting her hand with her own.

“Well Congratulations Lieutenant! I assume it’s well deserved,” she said trying to keep a straight face, though her eyes were definitely giving her away.
