Koraia smirked slightly at him. “True. I did consider individual meetings, but I figure after destruction, battles and toxic-blood rain, we needed a night to let loose. Take it as you will, but I intend to have some fun,” she said simply. “Either way, I’m glad you decided to play along.”
She reached down for another box that had been set in the correct order for this evening’s proceedings. With a gesture of her head, Ghubari opened the box and showed him a hollow pip. “For your significant contributions to your department and this ship, I hereby promote you to the rank of Lieutenant Commander, with all the rights, responsibilities and privileges therein.” Her smirk returned. “It’ll of course look better with the rest of them on your collar later.”

Karina watched and smiled, her hands clapping with the others as the awards and promotions were given out. She moved to the wall to lean on it, accepting a glass of non alcohol fruit drink from a passing NE hovering in the back of the group, herself to keep from intruding on the main group. “Thanks…” She took a sip and watched. It was like a history of what they had been thru. She wasn’t sure how many had chosen to keep their old selves and who had allowed the ‘here and now’ to stay, but so far, it seemed the ‘old crew’ was winning out. She was glad. What they had been thru would bond them for the rest of their lives.

Doc“You can thank Joseph for this, he insisted I dress less work related,“ Liam said in a gruff voice, adjusting his vest.
He suddenly held still as she showed him the pip. A moment of surprise and awe fell into his eyes, then it vanished when the CO spoke. His head turned to her once more.
“Feels like a bit much, Jones did the main grunt work of it. I was merely the supervisor and along for the ride,” Liam replied honestly, not fully feeling he earned the promotion.
Still he timidly took the box, intending to organize with his uniform later.
“Thank you, nevertheless.”
Ghubari bowed her head to him. “You earned it,” she said more seriously.
After his part was done, Liam turned on his heel and began to stroll back to his original place.
–CSO, Liam J. Madison, Sci
“Lieutenant Commander R’han, where are you?” Koraia called out, trying to find the enigmatic CTO amongst the crowd.

Dan clapped in respect of Madison’s promotion since he felt lucky to have such a great DH. Dan then followed Madison off the stage.

OOC: Okay, need to move this along now.

When R’han appeared at the front, Ghubari gazed at him for a moment before smiling. Despite his aggressive tactics and taciturn nature, he was a good officer and had served the ship well for many, many years. “Last I recall, we did this whole promotion thing in a simulated ballroom last time,” she said with amusement. She pulled out anther box and opened it, revealing a full pip. She set it on the podium for a moment.“R’han, for continued excellent service, I hereby promote you to the rank of Commander, with all the rights, responsibilities and privileges therein.” Ghubari said, offering the box. “Congratulations.”
“So, that’s all for the formal portion. Congratulations to all and once again, thank you for your dedication. Now we can all head back up for the rest of the party. There will be a bit of entertainment soon, but the dance floor will be open until then, and there’s plenty of food and drink. Enjoy yourselves, you’ve earned it!”

Ah, the feeling of commendation and promotion. It left everyone around her beaming with smiles and congratulatory attitudes. No doubt the rest of the gathering would be full of everyone congratulating the few who had been specially recognized by the Captain. It was a great honor and worthy of the buzz and excitement. She turned and joined the rest of the crew as they started back up to the dance floor and the party that would inevitably follow.
Delaney, Sec
Karina smiled at the commendations and then turned to go. She wasn’t one for parties and figured someone should probably be in medical in case anything happened.
