The crew members would notice that an alert came through on their duty schedules. All hands who were not on duty were invited to attend Nine Forward at 14:00 hours. The request has been sent by the Captain (which should probably suggest how much of this “request” was discretionary…)

-Captain Johnson, CO

Eshrallias was amongst the people conveniently off duty, at the time the man had requested, or moreover, invited officers to join him in the Nine Forward. Curiously, the young Andorian popped her head into the lounge, casually making her way in, as her head turned to search for any sign of people.

Lt. Eshrallias

“Well, hello!” Liadra told zh’Vheris from behind her, having snuck in quietly after the CSO. It was fortunate that the counsellor had a pretty flexible schedule and could make herself available for gathering and meetings as required. She was a bit curious as to what the Captain wanted, but Liadra had her suspicions. then again, she didn’t rule out Johnson’s ability to potentially surprise her.

Lt. Cmdr. Liadra, CNS

“Oh! Hello.” Eshrallias turned to face the Counselor, surprised by the sudden entrance she had made. Although, her greeting was not at all unwelcome. “How are you, Counselor?”

Johnson arrived shortly afterwards. He took a look around, nodding at the setting: the chair and tables were more clustered to one end, leaving a large open space near the windows, showing part of Earth below. He walked over to Liadra. “I think we’re just waiting for everyone else to arrive.”

-Captain Johnson, CO

The counsellor leaned in towards Johnson. “I can think of one possibility for this event, but I might need some confirmation. Is it what I think it is,” she with a slightly comical waggle of her eyebrows.

Lt. Cmdr. Liadra, CNS

Johnson raised his eyebrows. “A little guessing is good for the soul,” he said with a grin.

Eshrallias managed to raise a brow between the seemingly enigmatic pair. However, she did not bother to question their choice of conversation, the faint catch of Liadra’s wiggling eyebrows, enough to elicit a facetious concern within her mind.

Keena chose that moment to put in appearance, stepping into the room, “Everyone,” she greeted with a smile.

~Keena Vahl~

Cain arrived as he looked around seeing a small smattering of crew he had come to know. He hadn’t been on the ship for very long, getting to know a few people here and there. He was excited for a chance to mingle some, it often gave him a chance to break out of shell but he seldom made the first move in chances like this.

Buckingham strode into Nine Forward. Slightly apprehensive at being in a room full of senior officers, most of whom he’d never met before. Nevertheless, he found an empty chair and sat in it.

Cadet Polis entered Nine Forward. There was quite a group starting to form. He seen the Captain, Chief of Security, the Doc that treated his arm and a few others he hadn’t the pleasure of meeting yet. As a cadet he wasn’t going straight up to the Captain. Beside he was speaking with another senior officer. The Security Chief had just approached a small group. It wouldn’t be polite to jump in on the end of that. Polis figured as he owed the Doc a drink for doing a great job on his hand, thats where he would begin. He went to the bar and ordered two syntahols. He took them over to Tom and offered him one. “Told you I owed you one. Mind if I join you?” He asked, adding, “Us Cadets need to stick together. Before you know it we’ll be officers and will be expected to know everyone by name.”

Cadet Polis, Security

Captain Johnson headed over the large windows, tapping his glass to get everyone’s attention before putting it down on a nearby table. He waited for the noise to die down. “Hopefully any stragglers will be able to join us shortly, but it is time to get started.”

“Cadet Polis, front and centre,” the Captain ordered.

After the cadet joined him up front, Johnson continued. “I have received a a new communique from Starfleet Headquarters and the Academy Commandant. In light of your ongoing contributions during your time on the Endeavour, and the bravery shown in the face of adversity during recent events, Cadet Polis is officially graduated from Starfleet Academy.”

Johnson looked over at Commander Vahl and took the small box his Trill XO had with her before continuing. “Further, you are hereby commissioned as a Starfleet officer with the rank of Ensign and assigned to the USS Odin.”

With one hand, Johnson handed over the box containing the new rank pip and with the other hand shook Polis’s hand. “Congratulations, Ensign!”

-Captain Johnson, CO

Ezio Polis stood in front of the Captain. He was flabbergasted. He took the box containing his new rank insignia in his left hand feeling the nerves tingle as the painkillers were wearing off. He excitedly shook the Captains hand with his good right hand. “Thank you Sir. To be honest, I was expecting a reprimand with the damage cause to the shuttle. But this is definitely better.” Polis returned to his seat. Grinning from ear to ear.
