Striding up to the hovering microphone base Drudoc tapped it to get everyone’s attention in the room. “..Excuse me everyone? If I could have everyone’s attention please?” Drudoc said waiting till both rooms upper and lower quieted and she had everyone’s focus.

Once she did she continued, “..Today as is our tradition here on the Ark Angel we gather once more to celebrate another successful mission together. As well as recognize those among the crew who stood out in the success of that mission. We also use this time to welcome those newly assigned to the Ark Angel and welcome them into our ship and family..” She said.

Sifeda turned to face the Commodore as she spoke. She was regretting the deal she made with Lieutenant Belmont now that she learned that these gatherings happened after every mission. At least she hadn’t agreed to let her dress her at every gathering, just the next one. She let out a huge sigh of relief at that thought.

Itri, XO

Kyle stood opposite the Commander for a moment, unsure of what to do with himself, “Do I really need to judge children, I feel like I’m no older than half of them!”

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

One of the NE’s nearby leaned over to whisper, “..Actually its the children who are judging those who dressed up. Remember you’re to give a cultural lesson on what you’re wearing for their education..” the NE said.

Ensign luna having just gotten off shift entered 18 forward. She was wherein her usual star fleet uniform. She looked around wondering where Cerenity was thought she did not see the child. Luna was sure she was here somewhere and for the moment, chose not to worry.

After a pause for quiet again Drudoc resumed speaking. “..First I’d like to get what could be more of the awkward issues out of the way first. That being our new arrivals to our angelic family. Could I please have, Lieutenant Commander Sifeda Itri, and…” Drudoc then called off a few other NEs, “..to come up on the stage?” she requested.

Once the new XO and 12 NEs were gathered, Drudoc one by one introduced the NEs and where they would be working as well as brief highlights of their last ship assignments or in the case of three NEs their recent academy graduation. Turning then to Itri she said, “..Commander would you like to say anything to those in attendance currently either of your last assignment, or your thoughts and feelings on joining our large family?” she said.

Sifeda nodded at the Commodore and stepped forward. There was a brief pause as she placed her arms behind her back and looked at all the faces pointed in her direction as well as the eyes that were laid on her. “I like that the Commodore Drudoc referred to everyone as family. I heard a quote, long ago, that I think is appropriate for this occasion. It went something like this....Family is like the branches on a tree. We all grow in different directions but our roots remain attached and as one. I grew up on a planet that was comprised of two species who were each’s sworn enemy. However we were able to integrate, thrive, and learn together. A lot of people..beings, even now in this time would not ever believe that two mortal enemies could connect and build a community but it is possible and we did it. Because we considered ourselves, despite our differences, to be a family. I do not only want to be known as the executive officer of this ship but I want each of you to look at me as a member of your family. Someone who is going to be there to help you solve problems or listen and not judge when you are not at your best. Also just a friend for casual non work conversations. I know you all expect the best from me and I expect the best from you as well, but if for any reason you cannot deliver your best work, then I expect for you to reach out and let me know what’s going on with you. I am honored to be apart of this family and I look forward to exciting adventures and serving with each of you.” After she finished her speech, she nodded at The Commodore and stepped to the side.

Itri, XO

Once her new XO had stepped aside Drudoc once more took the podium. “..Thank you Commander, I am confident I speak for everyone new and old among our crew in looking forward to working with you going forward..” She said.

OOC: A quick reminder atm Ray’s character Gavin is still an Ensign during our last mission and until now still only a medical JO. Same for Hobbes being an ensign and engineering JO and not a DH till now. Sorry for the delay in doing this!

Turning back then to the crowd Drudoc smiled a bit more then, “..Next, I feel this celebration would not be complete without highlighting achievements during our past mission among the crew. Lieutenant Belmont, Ensign Stacey, and Ensign Hobbes,” She began then also read off the names of a few other NEs, once the group of 9 officers were present, she continued, first going to read off awards and promotions among the NEs for their time served on the ship till now. After these NEs were handled she moved down the line to first Stacey, “..Ensign Stacey, for your dedicated service to the ship and her crew during our last mission, it is my honor to award you a field promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade, and to the chief medical officer role of the ship.” She said pinning the junior Lt pip to his collar, “..Further, you and Lieutenant Belmont are to be awarded Starfleet’s Four Palm Leaf for excellence and merit in your efforts to establish peaceful contact with the space organism we encountered. While the outcome was.....not as ideal, we learned much for possible future contact scenarios for those pieces of that creature which did survive intact..” She said pinning both small silver pins with four palm leaves on their chests.

Moving down the line further, she then stopped at the last person in line, Ensign Hobbes. “..Ensign Hobbes, it is my equal pleasure to award you a field promotion to lieutenant junior grade and to fill the Chief Engineer, vacancy your predecessor left with her reassignment, Miz’uki. You have some big shoes to fill, not only by Miz’uki and others, but it is a path I feel you are more then suited to carry forward. Lastly for your efforts to study and contain the space organism, you are to be awarded the Golden Nova Medal With Energy Ribbon..” She said pinning the junior lieutenant pip and then golden solar nova shaped medal with hanging cloth ‘energy’ ribbon on their chest. With that then Drudoc turned to let the crowd collectively cheer and clap for their awards as she returned to her podium.

Once the group had their fill of attention and quiet fell across the large double level room again, Drudoc continued, “..Now, as many of you know we always have optional themes to one of these little parties. This party’s theme is showing off past, present, or current cultural dress fashions from around the Federation or other known species. As is usual those wishing to be judged for winning this party’s prize should come forward up onto the stage. The children among the younger classes will judge the best designs, as well as who provided the most concise but informative information about their garb and its origins or development if in the future..” Drudoc explained.

OOC: aka if you dressed up and want to show it off and get judged, get up on stage and be ready to give the kiddos a little listen!

Marlaa applauded as the accolades were given. Those on the stage certainly deserved their due.

She glanced sideways at her companion and smiled. “I believe we were discussing something before all this began …” She waved to the crowd of folks in costume moving towards the stage.

Kyle grinned, “I clearly didn’t go for a fancy enough costume, fancy a drink?”

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

Mar glanced at her now empty glass. There hasn’t been anything fancy, or even remotely setting in it, but it still surprised her it was empty. With a slight laugh, she nodded. “I’d love one. The servers should be taking it easy for a few minutes, with the costume parade beginning. Maybe we can actually get something without waiting too long in a line.” She nodded towards the far side of the room where the serving counter was nearly empty because of everyone moving to see the show.

“In fact, how about we get those drinks to go, I don’t really fancy being ridiculed for my lack of imaginative outfit.” The Security Chief circled his arm in an offer to the counselor to take it, “Shall we?”
