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.

V’alura smiled beatifically as she accepted her pin and promotion. She squeezed Stacey’s shoulder and told him to “wave to the crowd, you’re a shinning star tonight,” before giving her own wave to the gathered crowd. She wouldn’t trade this moment for all glitz and glamour of the awards she attested as a professional actress. Though, perhaps it would be better if the event was black tie and there was a little more wine. . . but no, the evening was perfect.

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?”

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

Marlaa paused a moment and glanced around. Most folks were busy watching the gathering spectacle. Nodding more to her own resolve than to Kyle, she finally smiled and hooked her arm in his. “Two Department Heads disappearing in the middle of a gathering…tsk tsk… We shall have to reprimand ourselves later.” She winked in conspiracy and let him lead her out into the hall.

“I won’t tell if you don’t,” he winked back, “I fancied a stroll around the arboretum anyway,” Anders took note of the fact that the Counselor seemed to like the serene, calming atmosphere the arboretum on Deck 34 could bring. He liked that about her.

V’alura happily took center stage and gave her cultural presentation. She performed a twirl and several steps to an intricate Angolan dance, “I can trace part of my ancestry to the African nation of Angola. My dress and jewellery are traditional costume that have been preserved for hundreds of years.” She gave a brief history of the country, adding a theatrical flair that grabbed the attention and turned what could have been a lecture into a impassioned performance. “Today, Angola is home to fantastic beaches, the freshest and tastiest exotic fruits and beautiful diamond jewellery. A place where the spirit of progression and tradition walk hand in hand.” She bowed before the audience, and took her leave of the stage.
