RE: Promotions

Good afternoon Penny,
I am looking to see when the final paperwork will go through authorizing the increase in rank for Grael Mardusk and Ashlynn Summers. I have not seen it come through yet on my end.

Have a good day,
Captain Kelly Shultz**

=/\=Name not recognized=/\= a high pitched and artificial sounding rang through Kelly office. It elicited a loud grumble from the captain who promptly rubbed her forehead in aggravation.

“Have a good day, Captain Bordeaux,” Kelly spoke the words she had to fix. Hitting enter again the message went through without a glitch. Men never understood what a pain in the butt changing your name could be in real life. Yes, there was something magical and romantic to changing your name after marriage. It told the world you now belonged to someone else. That, someone, loved you enough to want to give you their name and claim for anyone wondering how much they held you above all others. Kelly was old fashioned and had no problems changing her name. What she did have a problem with was remembering her new name. Ian could sign her name like a forgerer of 20 years but recently he had stopped. Why? Because every paper that came across his desk to send out read with her maiden name.

“Ian,” Kelly said sweetly looking at Ian on her couch. “Baby was the automated message really really necessary,” she tried not to grit her teeth. This was the third time today the perky little AI voice had prevented her from doing her work.

“Oh it was totally necessary, I thought about seeing if Jacen could implant you with a dermal chip that shocked you every time you got it wrong but no… he said it’s against protocols. I looked, there is no protocols that specifically say I can’t do it… he just won’t cause of the implication of chipping your boss, but I’m chipping my wife which is far more in the gray area…” Ian said as he looked over at her with a squint in his eyes.

“I mean… of course it’s not how dare Jacen the humanity.” he added with a sense of mock indignation at it all.
