Edict #78
“We’ve been out here in the scorching heat for days. I haven’t showered.”
“None of us have.”
“That is painfully obvious.”
This is going to be one of those few edicts which covers more than one action. The Bonaventure has lain unfortunately absent for some time and after much discussion and debate, an unusual and extremely rare (for me) agreement has been reached.
After extended consultation and based upon the advice and with the consent of the Fleet Two Commander and the Fleet One Assistant Commander, Samuel Bibb is hereby relieved of his command of the USS Lexington in Fleet 2. He is directed, through transfer, to assume command of the USS Bonaventure in Fleet 1 immediately.
This leaves a vacancy aboard the Lady Lex and a duty that gives me immense pleasure.
Based upon the advice and recommendation of the Fleet Two Commander, Ian Kirby is hereby promoted to the rank of Captain, with all the rights and priveleges therein. Further, he is assigned command of the USS Lexington in that fleet.
Ian is one of the brightest, most dedicated, enthusiastic and creative people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I know that the Lexington is going to rapidly rise as one of the very best ships this great club has to offer under his fair minded and even handed leadership.
Congratulations Sam and Ian. Make us all proud!
