Lieutenant JG Renaie Shortrith - Run To Paradise
Renaie Shortrith
((Grand Mezzanine, Amity Outpost))
Renaie stood in the Grand Mezzanine, smiling as they watched the broadcast of Captain Ukinix through one of the screens.
Teller: From Starfleet Office of Operations to Ukinix, Wil, Commander, Starfleet Attache, acting Commanding Officer of Amity Outpost. Due to your years of exemplary service and in no small part owing to your personal conduct over the last twelve months, you are hereby requested and required to assume the role of Commanding Officer of Amity Outpost on receipt of this message. Subsequently and, as an acknowledgement of the vitally important work you are doing on behalf of Starfleet and the Federation as a whole in your role aboard the station, you are hereby promoted to the rank of Captain with all the rights, privileges and responsibilities thereof. I’d offer you congratulations but I believe there’s someone else here who deserves that particular honor.
Captain Teller nodded to someone in the shadows.
Teller: Commander, please step forward.
S. Ukinix: Hello Captain Son.
Ukinix: Commander Mum?!
oO His mum!! Oo
S. Ukinix: ::whispering:: This doesn’t mean you outrank me in everything though.
Ukinix: ::playfully, muffled:: Bull$^@@.
S. Ukinix: Besides—
Renaie smiled as Commander Ukinix reached for the pip box for her son, Captain Ukinix.
S. Ukinix: —You’re not Captain until you get the pretty pip.
The Klingon began applauding as the pip was affixed, echoed with thunderous applause through the mezzanine.
S. Ukinix: I’m so proud of you.
Ukinix: Oh, Mum.
They smiled as the Ukinix duo hugged.
Ukinix: Thank you.
Hopper: Congratulations, Wil. ::Raising a glass in toast:: Oh, and say hi to the rest of the station – because this entire ceremony has been broadcast throughout the Grand Mezzanine and workstations throughout the Outpost.
Hopper: And prepare your body for the party that is coming.
Renaie smiled as they watched the now Captain give a half-wave.
Hopper: Thanks, guys. Now head up to the Lighthouse and get yourselves some snacks and drinkies!
((A few minutes later, Lighthouse Restaurant))
To say that Renaie had legged it to the restaurant was an understatement. It had only taken five minutes for them to get from where they were standing in the Mezzanine to the restaurant - it would have been longer if they chose not to wear their dress whites after they heard about what was happening that day.
They quickly grabbed a glass of lemonade (they had things to write later, it was better if they stayed sober) before joining the crowd.
((OOC: Only including a bit of Varati's tags to make things cohesive.))
Varati: Thank you so much for the drink! ::to all::What are we drinking, then? Never mind... ::chuckles:: Cheers to Captain Ukinix! Cheers to Amity!
Ukinix/Hopper/Iko: Response?
Renaie cheered, and did a semi-awkward back-of-the-hand clap, making sure not to spill what was in their glass.
Any: Response
Shortrith: Wooo!
Any: Response.
Shortrith: Well done, Captain. It's been an honour serving with you, no matter how short it's been. ::smiling:: Are you about to rock, Sir?
Ukinix: Response
Any: Response?
Shortrith: ::semi-melodically:: For those about to rock, we salute you.
Ukinix: Response
Any: Response?
Renaie smiled, gave a friendly wave, and stepped back to the side to let the Captain get showered with well-deserved congratulations.
