OOC: This is going to be a tag for everyone so everyone is aware of what is going on. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Ciaran walked out of the ready room and walked to the captain’s chair. This will be his first action as being the Acting Captain of the Ark Angel. He nodded to his department heads which were already aware of what was going on and he sat down. He hit the ship-wide comm on his seat and proceeded to say, “Attention Ark Angel crew. This is Acting Captain Donoghuei. I regret to inform everyone Commodore Drudoc had to step down for personal business. I am aware she had been in command of the Ark Angel for a long number of years. We thank her for her service but we will continue with leading the Ark Angel forward and handling the ship in the same manner. We have a good crew. At this time, we will be heading back to Starbase 243 and the previous orders which we had received have been put on hold for the time being. If anyone has any concerns, feel free to reach out to your department head or to myself. Donoghuei out.” Ciaran then looked over at everyone on the bridge and said to the ensign at the navigation seat, “NE Rashford, please plot course to Starbase 243, warp 5.” Ciaran knew there was no hurry right this moment to get back to the starbase in a timely manner. This slower speed would allow the crew to take in the information which was just received and hopefully give everyone some time to let it sink in. Ciaran knew he was going to have difficulties with this as he was just getting use to being the executive officer on the Ark Angel, much less being ready to be dropped into the captions position.

“Understand sir,” Luna said. On the surface, she was cool calm collected. Beneath the surface she was a mess. A new CO after all she had been through. Would cerenity still be safe she wondered.

As Kyle stood to the side of the Security console and saw the now acting CO come across his station, he leaned in, “Congrats Commander, I just wish it were under better circumstances.”

Ciaran turned in his chair and looked at the Lt Anders and said, “I agree 100%. It would have been better due to a promotion but family is always important. Have you ran a diagnostics on all the weapons systems lately? Just need to be ready on the off chance we run into anything.” He then turned back to face the viewscreen and waited for the rest of the crew to see if they had anything to add. Ciaran this would be hard to take in with how the captain left so suddenly but it was needed from a personal standpoint. He expected some folks to need to chat about it and he was prepared for that.

NE Rashford, responded to the captain, “I have entered the destination into the navigation to Starbase 243.” Ciaran then responded and said, “Engage.” Ciaran knew it would take a while to get back to Starbase 243. He was anxious about how many people would have concerns with the Commodore leaving. He expected to have a number of people but was hoping it was not most of the crew who had concerns but he was prepared for anything. He would want to have a meeting with the department heads before releasing every off the Ark Angel to spend a few days on leave on the starbase.
