Commodore Jalana Rajel - Pips and Ribbons and new guys, oh my! (Fix)
Jess
((OOC: Forgot that ICly you guys don't know about Azura's change
of position yet! So I had to fix that :) ))
(( Castrum Hibernum Portum - Ballroom - A little bit later ))
Should she wait for a bit longer? Maybe? Maybe not? But who cared
what she 'should' do? She wanted to do it now. Shinies were her
favorite part of being a CO. Well next to seeing her crew grow,
live together, work together, developing alongside each other,
supporting each other. You know, the really nice stuff. But being
able to reward her crew in a palpable way was just amazing.
So after some time she moved to the small stage the holo band
occupied which that took as a sign to quiet down. She cleared her
throat calling out.
Rajel: May I have your attention!
Anyone: response
Rajel: Thank you! To the majority of you this will be no surprise,
to those of you who are new let me welcome you to the post-mission
party. To the few of you who have not met me yet, I am Jalana.
That was the introduction, nothing else, no 'I'm your CO', or even
a surname, just Jalana. Just as she liked it.
Anyone: response
Rajel: One of the favorite parts of my work is to get to this part
of the parties ::She crinkled up her nose in delight.:: So let me
get to it, have my fun, so you can go back to celebrating even
more! ::She cleared her throat, before chuckling.:: Well that last
mission was quite a doozy wasn't it?
Anyone: response
Rajel: Because this is a party and you are not necessarily
equipped to carry things home, I have arranged that any accolates
will be delivered to your quarters and will wait for you when you
return. Now let me begin with the Starfleet Investigation Ribbon.
This ribbon is rewarded for investigative skills to solve a crime,
defuse a threat or resolve a dangerous situation. Quite
surprisingly we had to do all three of these during our stint with
the apparant Enterprise, and even more surprising, it was all of
us who had to deal with that. With that I reward this ribbon to
all Officers who actively were part of the teams on the Enterprise
as well as those investigating things remotely on the
Constitution. Congratulations.
((OOC: That means every PC and PNPC that was on the Enterprise
plus our Stellarcartography Officers Ollo and and Seti)
Anyone: response
Rajel: When meeting the Enterprise of course the hopes are high to
meet our heroes, ancestors, precessessors that laid the foundation
for our work. What we did not anticipate was that we would have to
save lives. Not only due to the decrepid state of the ship in the
Nebula but due to hostile forces on the ship a few lives had been
saved. So it is my honor to award the Lifesaving Ribbon to the
following Officers. Lystra. T'Seva, Ozameen Malyz, Ellie Park and
Indrid Yirah. Thank you and congratulations.
Lystra/T'Seva/Park/Yirah/Anyone: response
Rajel: After reading the reports it became apparent that one of
the heroes of this mission was Engineering. Not only has
Engineering found out that something very fishy was going on, they
also used this knowledge and their skills to surprise the Iotians
and help avoid a complete blood bath with their methods. From
aimed loss of gravity, to increase of gravity, hacking into the
systems and ... ::She blinked slightly.:: I am still not quite
sure how a little dinosaur fit into this. But these methods
deserve to be recognized and so it is my honor to reward the
Innovation Ribbon to Kimberly Stapledon and Mingxing Shimisi.
Congratulations.
Stapledon/Shimisi/Anyone: response
Rajel: We also have been resorting to diplomacy to defuse the
situation on two fronts that dealt with the Ioatians face to face,
using words and understanding or the one or other firm decisive
verbal kick in the butt to make sure things do not escalate. For
that it's my honor to reward the Diplomacy Ribbon to Laria Herren.
She also got it herself thanks to Starfleet HQ, but she rarely
mentioned herself as a recipient, that just felt weird. There was
another ribbon on the list but she did not want to talk about that
one in front of everyone. Not because the recipients did not
deserve it, they did. But she did not want to air some laundry out
in the open. She'd tell Indrid and Shedet afterwards.
Herren/Anyone: response
Rajel: Now... ::she clasped her hands:: That is it for Ribbons.
::She grinned widely.:: And for the first time in a long while
that is not the end of it and that is my upmost joy as a
Commanding Officer to share with you! ::Clearing her throat she
looked around.:: Kimberly and T'Ama, where are you?
Stapledon/T'Ama: response
Rajel: Ah there. Hi! ::She wiggled her fingers.:: Since your
arrival on the Conny, you both have stood out with your
exceptional work, curiosity and persistence. It is a joy to see
officers come from the Academy and find their footing on the ship.
It's been a joy to work with you, hear about you from your
colleagues and superiors and we are in agreement. Due to that, it
is my pleasure to promote both of you to Lieutenant Junior Grade
with all rights, privileges and responsibilies. Congratulations.
She grinned widely and clapped for the two newly minted
Lieutenants.
Stapledon/T'Ama/anyone: response
Rajel: ::looking around the place.:: Laria, where are you?
Herren: response
Rajel: ::smiling brightly:: Laria, I know that you haven't been
with us for a long time, but you already have proven yourself to
be an invaluable asset to the crew and to myself. Your assistance
and decisive power has been one of the driving forces during our
last mission. Therefore it is my pleasure to promote you to the
new Second Officer of the Conny today. ::She paused and raised a
hand.:: In addition with that, it is also my sincere pleasure to
promote you to Lieutenant Commander with all rights, privileges
and responsibilities. Congratulations!
Herren/Anyone: response
Jalana waited for a moment, clapping for Laria as she had been for
everyone else, oh yes she really loved this part. Then she cleared
her throat.
((OOC: The following part was planned with Jonathan :) ))
Rajel: As some of you may have heard already that Azura has
resumed her duty as Chief Science Officer. That means we will
receive a new First Officer and I have gotten word that, though I
have no details yet, Starfleet apparently has already assigned us
a new First Officer and there is a chance that they will show up
at some point during the party.
Ch'Nilmani: response
When she heard the voice Jalana's head whipped around to where she
believed it came from. There was a vague familiarity, had she
heard it before?
Rajel: Excuse me?
Ch'Nilmani: response
When the guy stood up Jalana blinked and stared at him out of
widened green eyes. She knew that guy. Her Arentis Tourguide, who
had - she was almost sure - relentlessly flirted with her. Well
that would very much put a lock on more of that. She realized her
mouth hung slightly open and closed it before she cleared her
throat. What a surprise. It took her a moment to find her words,
but hey, she did!
Rajel: Well in that case. Please welcome our new First Officer.
Diz'mim.
Anyone: response
Jalana eyed him for another moment before she turned her attention
back to the crowd.
Rajel: That was it for today. If you have not found yourself in
the line of fire for a new pip, your time will come. ::She
smiled:: Now enjoy the party! We have the place for us the whole
night. Again congratulations and thank you for being the best crew
I could ask for.
With that she stepped down from the little stage and the holo band
began to play again.
