Posted by Captain Rende Asam (Commanding Officer) in New Orders, New Requests
Rende had not expected to be promoted, ever, to captain. Not that she didn’t have the experience, but she had vowed to take a back seat for a while. To learn from others and put her ego and pride and arrogance away. Of course she’d done that, it was probably why she was now being made a captain, out on the frontier of Federation space. She had sent Eldorin a communique, a letter really. One of the things she’d requested and been granted, was that he could come with her. Civilian or serving. She missed him. They’d argued when they had both gone back into the service at the same time. Returning to Earth had been hard on both of them, and for a couple of listeners they hadn’t listened to each other. It was one of the reasons they had left El-Auria, because the elders didn’t listen. The irony was not lost on her.

But they had fought and duty had separated them, and they had allowed that distance to create a greater distance. Maybe she should have declined the promotion, retired again and gone home. But she hadn’t heard from him yet, and perhaps he still wanted space. They had never been the kind to settle in once place for too long, and Rende wasn’t ready to do that again, unless Eldorin was going to be there. So she accepted, and would do her duty, for however long was required. She took several transports out to meet with the Sentinel, having a layover on K5 where she met Cpt Jensen, who gushed with obvious envy over the yeoman Rende was getting to serve with. The conversation was most enlightening. Especially when the man finally gave her the name of the young woman.

Asam, CO

Rende took a few days to go over the last few mission reports and the senior staff of the Sentinel, then she drafted a message to her new yeoman.
