BIG SNIPPIES

“You may be taking my job, Kanto, but you’re always welcome to send me a communique if you ever need anything.” She smirked. “We scientists have a tendency of sticking together, even light-years away from each other.”

“Of course. If there is ever anything you need as well, do not hesitate to send me a message. My lab will always be open to you.” He extended his hand in the traditional Vulcan salute, “Live long and prosper, Lieutenant.”

Eshrallias struggled to replicate the gesture, glaring at her hand in disappointment. “Peace and long life, Chief.” She hoped she’d said that right.

“Don’t let me keep you. There’s many others who should wish to congratulate you.” She smiled, stepping to the left. “I’ll see you on the flip side, Kanto. Who knows? Maybe one day you’ll be my boss.”

Kanto arched his eyebrow and his face twitched ever so slightly as he said, “We never know where the galaxy will take us, lieutenant.” Just as quickly as the twitch appeared, it had vanished as if it had never been there at all. He turned and approached a group of officers and engaged in what appeared to be small talk.

Liz had slipped into the back of the room as the announcements had begun. This was the Cadets’ day, not hers. The Captain had things well enough in hand, she would only get in the way. A smile and a nod to each and every promotion was what she gave as her own applause joined the others. She and the CO had sat up half the nights in the last week making sure every mark and rank was set and worthy of it being given. There had been hard decision, and easy ones, but in the end, this was exactly what she had expected. The surprise on some faces was worth it, and the tickle in her mind that in a couple days, when promotions, ranks and positions truly sank in, these self same newly pipped officers would find themselves truly in their elements, albeit slightly at a loss on more than one occasion, made her smile even more.

“Well that’s all I’ve got for now, so enjoy the party, mingle, get to know one another,” Cassandra said after a moment, with a smile, “We never quite know when the next crisis will hit, so enjoy the downtime while you can.”
