OOC: No need to stop your side threads of this party. Trying to kill two birds with one stone.

Marius after about an hour of revelry came to a small podium at one end of the wooden planks laid into a large square, which had been the site of many holographic Hawaiians dancing native dances, some with fire others being a luxurious hula. In either case the dancers were quite entertaining.

“I’d like to thank you all for our first successful mission with me as the commanding officer. It is quite pleasing to me that we rescued hostages, introduced a new species to the Federation, and perhaps most importantly, didn’t lose a single crew-member.” He paused, looking out at the assembled crew. “

“It was also the first mission for our intrepid first officer…” He looked about the crowd… “Mr Pétursson, If you’d like… a few words.”

Magnus smiled and took a few steps forward and face the crew “Thank you, Sir.” He turned his head briefly to the Captain to address him before returning his gaze to the crew. “Well, this has been an interesting experience, seeing you all in action. You are all exemplary officers and I hope to live by the examples you’ve shown me” He then took a few steps back allowing the Captain to continue on.

He smiled, “Thank you X. Now for what you all have been waiting for.” He held up a little box, that everyone recognized as the container that carried the pips that were affixed to collars indicating rank. “Promotions.”

“With the permission and under the direction of the Department of Advancement, United Federation of Planets, Star-Fleet. The following officers are hereby and effective immediately promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade with all honors, duties, and responsibilities so indicated. Marius said a couple of names before reaching, The officers formerly known as Ensign Reia Shandy and Ensign Tigress, Congratulations Lieutenant Junior Grade.” He reached out with the box. .

Dagen was standing by Reia when this announcement came. He had watched the officers position themselves so figured something was coming and he was right. As he heard Reia’s name mentioned he grinned and gave her hand a squeeze. “Totally deserved, love,” Dagen said, letting go of her hand and positioning it at the small of her back to give her a small push forward.

Reia stepped forward and took the new pip. She looked down at her completely bare shoulders, and up at the Captain to smile shyly.

“Perhaps, we can find another time to pin those on.” Marius smiled. “Of course, if you’d like.. I can wave the uniform code for tonight that preclude wearing rank insignia on unofficial outerwear.” He remembered each and every promotion he ever received and waiting to put the pips on wasn’t something he ever liked delaying.

“It is my honor to call the Genesis my home.” she said.

Reia could have used this time and place to announce her upcoming wedding but it would have been impolite to overshadow Tigress in such an obvious way when her pheromones might already be doing that in the first place.

He continued with a smile, “with the permission and under the direction of the Department of Advancement, United Federation of Planets, Star-Fleet. The following officers are hereby and effective immediately promoted to the rank of Lieutenant with all honors, duties, and responsibilities so indicated. Marius said a couple of names before reaching, The officers formerly known as Lieutenant Junior Grade Ben Park, Congratulations Lieutenant.” He reached out with the box.

XO

(Park comments)

Thomas clapped loudly for Park. The young man still needed a bit of refinement, in his opinion, but no one could question his work ethic.

“We aren’t done yet,” Marius continued sounding a little like a salesman on QVC. “Perhaps the largest group of promotions.... with the permission and under the direction of the Department of Advancement, United Federation of Planets, Star-Fleet. The following officers are hereby and effective immediately promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commanders with all honors, duties, and responsibilities so indicated. The officers formerly known as Lieutenant Sage Brennan, Chan, Tom Jarvis, Thomas McGregor, David Michaels, and Dagen Thor. Congratulations Lieutenant Commanders.”

He reached out with one hand stopping Sage before she could leave the podium. “I know we all have felt the loss of our former Counselor and second officer. I like a moment of remembrance for Riley Dekker. I want you all to remember him, because he was kidnapped, not lost, and our first mission is to get him back. I will not forget that… and I expect none of you to either.”

After a pause that was far longer than a moment. “However as we continue to strive forward we look to establish the structure to continue our mission. With the assent and agreement of Star-Fleet and the XO, we are designating Lieutenant Commander, Doctor Brennan as Second Officer.”
