Chan watched the room and noticed that Tigress looked a little weary. She walked over and slotted herself next to the Ensign “Are you OK Tigress? You look a little on edge.” she whispered kindly, well kindly for Chan.

Marishka stayed where she was watching with interest, glass in hand.

-Marishka

Tigress looked over at Chan. “ I don’t trust the captain and I don’t like how close Marishka is to Ben. They are up to sumthing” she practically growled under her breath. Her ears lay back agenst her head. Tigress has her reasons for not trusting the captain or Marishka. She was not likely to discuss them with Chan thow that was a conversation for the consuler to address. Even then Tigress was not likely to willingly descus it with him.

Riley stood with Marishka, his arm still around David’s waist. MacGregor was still in their little group and he gave the security chief a side glance. If anyone had an idea what Julien was up to it would be Park’s DH.

Thomas merely gave an enigmatic raise of his eyebrows. No need to spoil the surprise for Park… whatever the Captain’s surprise actually was.

COS

Julien chuckled as he motioned Ben to stand next to him, looking into the bright blue eyes of the young man.
“Always so correct Ensign Park, your sense of duty is admirable. You’ve been with us for four years now and never once neglected your duty, this is what makes a good Starfleet Officer… but that’s not why I’m giving you… this.”

and with that word Julien held up a collar pip with a serious smile. Only Captains had that weird talent to smile seriously.

“I’m giving you this because you have grown in this time in every way, as an officer and as a man, beyond the Ensign rank. You are always prepared for any eventuality, always ready to risk your life in order to defend that of your crew mates.” Julien said seriously and took Ben’s collar in his left hand, fastening the pip to it. He knew it was a big moment for Ben, first promotion was always special.

“Thus I herewith promote you to the rank of Lieutenant junior grade with all the privileges and responsibilities thereof. Congratulations Lt. jg. Park.” he said and stepped back, smiling broadly while a lot of people immediately started applauding and cheering.

• Julien King, CO

Thomas was one of the first, loudly and enthusiastically clapping for Ben’s promotion. It was certainly well-deserved, with the junior officer having put in a great deal of effort to improving himself as an officer and a person over the last few years.

OOC: Congrats AJ. I know you already have higher ranks on other ships meanwhile, but it’s not the same as the first proper IC promotion of your first character and everything what Julien said about Ben IC is true for you as well :-)

OOC: Congratulations AJ.
Christina

IC: Tigress smile as she breathed a sigh of relief. She clapped with the other. She know she would have to work hard to catch up to Ben.

Chan leaned over to Tigress as she clapped “See this time there was nothing to worry about. A little distrust is a good thing. It’s keep you alert and sharp. However thinking something bad was going to happen at such a public event. Is not so great. However it’snot my place to say. I just want you to be careful you’re a great officer.” Chan said kindly she wanted to keep the crew safe as much as anyone. However she knew that it involved a lot of tough love as it where

OOC: Wow Jules thanks to you for wanting better from my writings. I’m speechless. This is truly my favorite ship in STF. Thank you for believing in me Jules and everyone. I won’t let you down.

IC: Ben stood there full of emotion and a sense of pride. Four years ago of hard work and dedication lead to this moment. A year streamed down his face.

Calvin and Sage had just made it over to where Riley and David were standing in a loose group of officers. She smiled at the two men and nodded her head in a silent greeting, then turned to the dais and watched Park receive his first promotion. She clapped along with the others. It was a big day for the security officer.

—Sage

Standing near Riley, David, and the others, Marishka gave a polite smile to the CMO and XO as she clapped for Ben.

‘He truly deserved it.’ she thought.

Marishka

Valleea clapped politely, not knowing the officer, but knowing just enough about this crew that it was probably deserved. She had been very happy for Dagen though, even though she still didn’t know him all that well. But a part of her still wanted to retreat, to leave this busy space and be alone with her own thoughts- not that that typically resulted in anything positive. It was taking great effort to stay, but she did, which was something of a coup she thought. Alone in the crowd, Valleea couldn’t help but feel like she was having something of an out-of-body experience at the moment.

Ensign Valleea, Doctor

Chan looked amongst the crowd to see of everyone was having a good time. She wasn’t a Counselor but she knew that sometimes people needed a stranger to talk to, to keep them sain. Chan was a stranger to most of the crew. It seemed no matter how hard she tried to interact with the crew not many of them where aware of her existence or wanted to talk to her. Chan shrugged her shoulders great no I’m getting paranoid she thought to herself.

“Well, only person between you and Chief of Security. It only took me three years to get there.” Marius turned towards the Captain. “Fortunately this isn’t theTerran Empire. You don’t kill your boss and move up one step in rank.”

Marius

“And thank everything for that!” Thomas chimed in.

COS

“Endure the wrath of Doctor Brennan? I think not. Thank you Commander.” Ben chimed in. Ben smiled at him. Ben had a feeling that this was his former Department Head’s way of saying good job. Ben looked at Thomas “I won’t let you down Sir.”
