Posted May 27, 2019, 12:22 a.m. by Captain Chris Taggart (Captain) (Travis Good)

Snip

Kane, Tac / Med

Mwezi’s ear flicked a little, but he did not respond otherwise to Kane’s new nickname for him. He stepped over to the table of hors d’oeuvres and picked up a mini grilled cheese sandwich and munched on it quietly.

Mwezi

Stovik wandered over to the food table with the others and scanned it see if there were eatables on it that he could eat. Fortunately humans were quite fond of raw vegetables at these type of events so he easily found a variety of them with some bread like pastries that were filled with cheese and other vegetable material. He filled a plate and picked up a glass of water.

Commander Stovik

Mwezi, sec

Bump

Ensign Jacobs had been drinking blood wine since they had arrived at the party, This was a special day and he had never tried the stuff before! Soon he was walking over to Mwezi, his speech was horribly slurred and Jacobs was stumbling about. “Well you son of a targ… how did you convince someone that you should be promoted” Jacobs belched loudly “Hell Lieutenant” (Hickup) “Junior Grade ain’t nothing,” (Hickup) “Ive made J.G. four times and Lieutenant TWICE”.... the officer who would not be described as young took another drink of the beverage. Thrusting the bottle toward’s Mwezi “HeRe HaS aw DrInK” as Jacobs waited for Mwezi to take the bottle he looked towards the windows and noticed an officer holding a bottle out just like him, and he appeared to be staring at Jacobs! “wHaT dooo, YoUz LoOkIn aT!”

GM

Mwezi quietly put his massive hand over that of Ensign Jacobs and gently pulled the bottle from his hand. He placed the bottle off to the side. “Ensign Jacobs, I believe you need to rest,” he spoke, his voice deep. Yellow eyes met those of the human man.

Stovik had filled his plate and was standing near the tables while eating when his attention was caught by the drunken voice of the Ensign. He frowned as his gaze traveled the lounge until they found the man talking to Mwezi. Stovik turned and set his plate down on the edge of his table before wiping his mouth as he began to make his way over to the pair.

Commander Stovik

Chris had no time for this crap. He already hurt the guest of honor feelings. “Security. Exit this man back to his quarters. “

Mwezi gently led Jacobs to another security officer, talking to him calmly all the way until the man was out of the room. “As the captain said, NE Richardson. Back to his quarters. NE T’pak, please give Richardson a hand,” he added, glancing towards a Vulcan female.

Stovik stopped in surprise at the Captain’s swift actions, blinked, and then watched him climb up to the stage.

Once that was done. Chris got up on the stage. “Everyone. Can I have your attention please. Today we are going to celebrate a couple of promotions. First I wasn’t too welcome up on stage with me Commander Stovik whom will help me in presenting. Then I would like for Ensign Mwezi to come up. “

Eyebrow raising in curiosity, Stovik calmly walked forward and climbed up to stage. He turned then and faced the crew, about to clasp his hands in front of him he started as the Captain thrust a box at him. He accepted the box and handed it to Taggart when he signaled for it.

Mwezi quietly stepped up to the stage and stood a little stiffly next to the captain. Nearly seven feet tall, the lupine officer certainly towered over Chris and Stovik. His ears twitched, and he listened.

Once he was up Chris took a box from Stovik and presented it to Mwezi. “Ensign Mwezi it is with great pride that I give you this box and the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade. And name you Chief Weapons Officer!”

Captain Chris Taggart CO

Stovik nodded towards Mwezi, “Congratulations, Lieutenant.”

Commander Stovik

Mwezi nodded, taking the box and holding it for a moment before slowly opening it up on the stage. He genuinely wasn’t sure what to expect.

Mwezi, CoS

The box contained what is new rank was from his home world. Chris smiled. “I found what it looked like in the books you gave me and had Engineering make you one. You can wear that one as well. I’m truly glad to have you with us friend. “

Mwezi stared quietly at the small golden earring, not blinking. He closed the box and held it, glancing at the floor for a few moments. Chris truly hadn’t understood what he and Miv had meant when they said the promotion could not be done by off-worlders. He handed the box back to Chris with a pained expression on his face. “If you had truly read the books and listened to me earlier in the meeting with Controller Miv, you would know that I cannot accept this from you,” he spoke softly, then stepped off the stage and ‘vanished’ into the crowd. As much as a seven foot wolfman can vanish.

Chris frowned. “I got it wrong again. My apologies and I’ll stop. ” Chris took the box back and put it in his pocket.

O’Dell watched the advancement while standing at attention and feeling happy for the new promoted officer. As the head of all the enlisted, he felt good for anyone that could get promoted.

O’Dell

Once that was done Chris called Lt. Grey up to the stage.

“Lt Grey. You have served us with distinction and trust and as such you are promoted to the rank of Lt. Commander. Congratulations!”

“Lt. JG T’Aria, Givens and Kane please come up to the stage. ”

“I am pleased to announce that you all are hereby promoted to the rank of full Lieutenant! Congrats and well deserved!”

Captain Chris Taggart CO

O’Dell was in his full dress uniform and they were different than the officers. He saw a few other lower ranking enlisted members and felt proud to be representing the upper ranks. Maybe some day he would be promoted to Warrant Officer 3…who knew…he had been enlisted for so long it almost seemed taboo to even think about such a thing. For now, he would be happy just being the Chief of the Boat.

O’Dell

“Congratulations all.” Stovik said as he bowed in respect to each one as they accepted their new rank pins.
