On the bridge the turbo lift opened as Kiwa exited having received a cryptic message to report to the bridge. Kiwa could see the XO sitting in the Captains chair. A ensign stated aloud “XO a priority communication is coming on screen right now, I can’t stop it.” On the screen appeared Admiral Odora Fedel. Commander of Star Fleet Appointments. The screen had simply popped on as though no one could control it.

The admiral spoke in a deep voice for a female “Commander is your Chief Engineer on the bridge yet, I don’t have all day”

After being quiet for a while until the XO was probably uncomfortable, Rujo Kiwa took pity on the Commander and said, “Yes, Admiral, I am. Are you assigning us some new Engineers? I was supposed to be fixing the malfunctioning EMH in the main sickbay when I got called to the bridge. Why have I been called to the bridge, Sir?”

The admiral took no time to mince words. “Actually Mister Kiwa, Star Fleet has decided that you are not fit to repair star ships any more. So apparently the only option I have left with you is this,” The Admiral stood up from his seat and loudly gave the command “Attention to Orders” at this the entire staff on the bridge came to the position of attention. “By order of Star Fleet Command Rujo Kiwa is hereby promoted to the rank of Captain and assigned as the Captain of the USS. Constellation” The Admiral adjusted his uniform slightly.

“I am … Watt?” Rujo asked incredulously, “me? A Captain … but I was supposed to be …,” Rujo decided that such a statement was not appropriate for a new Captain, and he stood slackjawed for a few seconds, before clearing his throat and drawing himself up to his full height, “I won’t let the Fleet down,” he concluded lamely, then, “will you be joining us, Admiral?”

“I realize Captain that it is unusual for this to occur over comms and not in person. But quite frankly every time I set foot on your vessel something strange happens around me. If I can keep from being anywhere near your ship I will. Your mission is simply go forth and do great things, explore, make contacts with new species… Pretty much anything that is normal for a Starship, but for gods sake keep that ship out of my space port”

The admiral had a look on his face like he was remembering something.... no one knew that he was remembering all the strange events that occurred on the Constellation while he was there.

“As you wish, Admiral, I will do my best. I’ll be sure to make sure I only bring the ship in for repairs at Admiral McLean’s space port,” Rujo said, and then gave a complicated and non-too pretty salute … which pretty much looked like this: https://i.imgur.com/BOecWDN.gif . How Rujo did it without straining his wrist was unknown, but it seemed that he did so, maybe he had been practising it for just such an occasion.

Is there anything else, Admiral?” the freshly minted Captain asked, before gazing down at HIS chair in which the XO was still sitting.
