Lt JG Karen Stendhal - Ribbons time!

[K4RN3 ST3NDHL4]

((USS Octavia E Butler - The Writers' Room))

Karen was sitting calm and happy, with her glass of bubbles. She noticed Toz and she nodded at the doctor with a kind smile.

Rouiancet: I want to first thank you both not just for your work at Cheyd'lang, but and especially for the working leave you've both been kept busy, and I appreciate everything you continue to do.

Stendhal: Well, welcome Captain!

She said with another kind smile.

Rouiancet: (with a clap and a smile) Right! Karen...

Rouiancet: ...I want to present you first with the Unity Ribbon, which is given to those who support and champion morale and emotional health and well-being, and which I think describes both your work with this crew and with the refugee population very well. I was surprised to find that you haven't received it before, but let it be the first of many!

Stendhal: Thank you Captain, I'm honoured to receive this ribbon and is an honour and a pleasure to serve with you and the amazing crew of USS Octavia!

Rouiancet: As for you, Toz. (Lohkina handed down a pair of ribbons) You deserve recognition for your time spent as a prisoner of the King's Path, but I prefer not to see this as any kind of celebration of that time. Rather, consider it an acknowledgement that you served well beyond what Starfleet expects of any officer, and take honor from that fact. As for the other...

Karen gazed at the beautiful pink ribbon and she clapped at Toz with a smile.

Rouiancet: This is the Excellent in Adaptability Ribbon, newly adopted across the fleet, and I think you are an excellent first recipient, at least as far as receiving the ribbon from me is concerned. You took on plenty of mission-critical roles at Cheyd'lang, many of which were completely divorced from your medical knowledge and experience, and you performed them with aplomb -- which is exactly what this ribbon is meant to reflect. Essentially, you were a mission specialist, and you deserve recognition -- but the celebratory kind, this time!

Toz: Thank you, sir! This is quite unexpected.  

Stendhal: Well done doctor! We'll deserved indeed!

She smiled and then she had a sip of her white wine.
