: : : : : : : : : : : : : The mountain of a man turned around, his bald head looked strange paired with his pointed ears and his dark eyes immediatelly locked with Kerr's. But as hard as the man looked, and although his eyes were almost back, there was also kindness there. Emotion. Hidden, but there.
: : : : : : : : : : : : : He nodded and offered his hand, a human gesture.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : She shook his hand as he offered it.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : "Fleet Captain Kerr. You have a strange way of introducing yourself." he said in his deep voice.
: : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : - K'Mar
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : "And you have a strange way of hosting promotion parties." She replied as she nodded toawarss the scantily clad females.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : OOC: Breaking in for one moment just to clean up one last bit of outstanding business :)
: : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : IC: A Commander in an all black uniform, backed by several very brawny Security officers entered the lounge on the heels of Fleet Captain Kerr and her entourage.
: : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : "Ah, good, you're already here, Fleet Captain," he said, producing a PADD.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Kerr nodded and took the Padd. Her and Baelish knew what was to happen next and both kept out of the way of the Commander.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : "On there is an order signed by Admiral Povenmire. Captain Shoshiro Shinji, I'm Commander Marsh with the Department of Temporal Investigations. I'm going to have to ask you to come with me, sir."
: : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : The Security officers surrounded Capt. Shinji and escorted him out of the lounge.
: : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : GM
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : K'Mar froze and his expression turned 150% Vulcan, absolutely emotionless, while confusion reigned inside of him and shock. Questions. Why wasn't he informed, prepared? What the hell was happening here?
: : : : : : : : : : : - K'Mar
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : Having finished up any conversation, Met'rel was startled by this sudden turn of events. He registered both shock and puzzlement at seeing the CO curtly whisked away by a team of Security officers. Walking up to K'Mar, Met'rel spoke. "Erm...What just happened?" he asked, not realizing K'Mar was just as in the dark as he was.
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : Lt Cmdr Met'rel, XO
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : K'Mar's eyes slowly locked on Aidan's. He was sure that the strange security officer wasn't resposible for those kind of decisions, but he would bet he knew about it. So why then hadn't he said anything when they had talked in the store room?
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Aidan gave K'Mar a wink and half grin but remianed silent of words. It was not up to him to explain the situation but he would be lying if he didn't admit to himself he was amused by the expressions in the room.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : There was still no emotion whatsoever on his face when he said to Met'rel, his eyes still locked on Aidan Baelish "I do not know Met'rel." and he knew that Met'rel would know just what that meant.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : "I was not informed."
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : - K'Mar
: : :
: : : Met'rel nodded, understanding K'Mar's wording. He then stepped away, allowing him and Fleet Captain Kerr, to their conversation.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : "That business is classified, and I would ask that we continue on with our day. Will I be seeing the promotions and awards any time soon K'Mar?" Kerr asked somewhat impatiently. She acted as if the business with the Captain was just another day on the job. At that moment two male ensigns from the Vanguard came walking into the lounge. One wearing nothing but a bear fur thong and wrist cuffs, the other wearing a loin cloth. It appeared her assistant had found a way to vercome the no holo emitter problem. "Ah! My entertainment has arrived."
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Kerr/Baelish
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : K'Mar looked at the Fleet Captain and wished he was fully Vulcan, then he wouldn't feel all the irritation he was feeling. He didn't show though.
: : : : : : : "Promotions? I don't know. They've just taken away our Captain." he said, pointing out the obvious.
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : - K'Mar
: : : : : :
: : : : : : At this point Baelish nudged one of the assistants and then whispered something into the Fleet Captain's ear. Within seconds, the assistant pulled out a PaDD and thrust it into the Fleet Captain's hands.
: : : : : :
: : : : : : "Oh yes! Nevermind Shinji. I meant to tell you." She took one hand off of the PaDD and held it out to K'Mar. "Congratulations, K'Mar. With the powers vested into me by StarFleet Command, I hereby appoint you and promote you to the rank of Captain and Commanding Officer of the USS Vanguard. Take this PaDD, it contains a list of officers you need to promote in your new capacity."
: : : : : :
: : : : : : Baelish coughed into his hand but it could be clear he coughed the word "Pips."
: : : : :
: : : : : K'Mar took the PADD with a slight delay, the only sign of his huge inwardly confusion. He? She promoted him? That was what the interrogation was for? K'Mar looked at Me'trel, just slightly raising one eyebrow, a sign for Me'trel that he was just as surprised as he himself.
: : : : :
: : : : : : "Yes, Yes, Baelish, I am getting there." Fleet Captain Kerr mockingly growled. After K'Mar took the Padd, she reached into a pocket and pulled out a small box containing two shiny pips. She opened the box up and took them out of the box. Baelish took the new empty container from her, so that she was free to place the pips onto K'Mar. She took the black pip indicating the "Lt. Commander" rank and replaced it with the two full pips.
: : : : : :
: : : : : : Kerr/Baelish
: : : : :
: : : : : While she fiddled around at his collar he looked at Aidan. How had the man survived up until now with that kind of boss? An idea formed in his mind, and with it, he started accepting the promotion mentally. Apparently he had to do so under time pressure anyways, he thought as he scanned the PADD with the promotions she had given him. As Captain he had to do that now, and right away show her, and all the others, that he was capable of very fast adjustment to extreme situations. Well, he would not fail!
: : : : : He gave himself an inner wrench with all his willpower, quenching all questions and ponderings. Action, not deliberation. That could come later.
: : : : :
: : : : : He cleared his throat shortly and his almost black eyes snapped back on the Fleet Captain. "Thank you Fleet Captain Kerr." he said in a strong, unwavering voice. "I accept the command of the USS Vanguard. Please excuse me. I will go on with the promotions right away. Please, Fleet Captain, Lt. Baelish, stay and enjoy the party."
: : : : :
: : : : : With that he nodded to them, then he moved away, grabbing Met'rel by the arm as he went, pulling him slightly with him.
: : : : : When they were out of earshot, he said silently to Met'rel. "I need to know two things very quickly. First of all, are you ok with staying as my First Officer, and second, can you get me all available info on this Lt. Aidan Baelish who came with the Fleet Captain within the next half an hour or so?"
: : : : :
: : : : : - K'Mar, CO
: : :
: : : "I will stay on as your First Officer," replied Met'rel. "Congratulations, Captain. I will see what I can glean on this Lieutenant Baelish, as soon as feasibly possible."
: : :
: : : Lt Cmdr Met'rel, XO

K'Mar nodded and went to the podium.

: : : : Torran felt a little out of place at ship board formal events, and they were not like the parties he grew up with, there was a carelessness to the partying, none of the wild abandon that went with survivng to arrive at the next party. He hoisted himself up to sit on the bar and just watched the world go by, the different tatoos winking blinking about him in colored light.
: : : :
: : : : Torran Lycam - Pilot
: :
: : The CMO entered with his hands behind his back it was not his usual style but the doctor had to hide the bandage around the palm of his hand,shreds of the mirror were still embedded in the skin which made him wince in pain from time to time.
: : ''Sickbay will have to wait for now'' he muttered under his breath,the bar was not yet open which only served to put him in a more foul mood then he already was.
: : Lavrov CMO.
:
: Sophie noticed the CMO from the corner she was sitting and looked at him carefully. She was about to walk up to him when she noticed Torran and forgot about the CMO.
:
: "Need company?" she asked.
:
: Sophie Robinson (Doctor)

He got up to the podium and at his command the music died down and his voice was enhanced to be heard throughout the lounge.

"Attention please. As most of you just witnessed, Captain Shoshiro had to leave us on urgent business involving the Buero of temporal investigations. What you don't know yet is that Fleet Captain Kerr.." he nodded to her "...has just promoted me and given me the command of this fine ship and this excellent crew."
He let that sink in a few moments, murmurs started and he waited unil most of them had died down again.
"My first duty as Captain is one of the nicest. Lt. Appleby and Lt. Lavrov. Would you please join me?" he asked, looking for the two faces in the crowd.
