((Beachfront – Raskor II))

With the social hour winding down, Tori joined the crowd of other fine-clothed officers gravitating towards the stage where the commodore was about to speak. It felt like just a few days ago that he was welcoming Tori and A'Mayri to Starbase 118.

Taybrim: Gathered friends, faces new and old. I want to welcome you all to Raskor II, and to this celebration of your accomplishments. ::he placed a hand on his chest:: I am humbled and thrilled to be able to share this time with you. However, to start I do want to let you know that Captain Fairhug did arrive on Bardeez safe and sound, and the Bardeezan doctors were able to apply the memory recovery that our medical staff pioneered. He hopes to return soon, once he is fully recovered. He shares his well wishes and pride at your accomplishments. I promise I will pass on any communications I receive from him.

Not for the first time, Tori wondered just what the heck had happened on the mission that had been wrapping up just as he was finishing up his final academy coursework.

Any: ?

Taybrim: But let me turn towards those present. I want to start by welcoming back Lieutenant Haukea-Willow, our Chief of Security, and Lieutenant S’zurak, our tactical officer.  You both missed quite the interesting mission, and we’re very glad you are back!

Willow/S’zurak: ?

Tori followed the focus of the crowd to the Risian and Gorn officers. That was two more people he still needed to introduce himself to.

Taybrim: Now, onto official welcome, starting with Ensign Alok Munshi, you joined the crew of StarBase 118 during the New Year’s awards ceremonies and while it is quite overdue, I could not let you get away without an official welcome!

Munshi: ?

Taybrim: I am thrilled that you are here to join us again, and I’m glad you were able to help the crew out on the last mission.

Munshi: ?

Any: ?

Munshi and Tori had gotten the chance to spend some of shore leave together testing out the Angry Pigeon. He had a feeling he hadn't impressed the human engineer much on that jaunt, certainly not with his marksmanship. Something to work on in the mission ahead.

Taybrim: And StarBase 118 has been particularly fortunate with our incoming Engineers, for not only do we have Ensign Munshi, but we also officially welcome Ensign A’Mayri!

A’Mayri: ?

Taybrim: I could not have asked for a better graduating class to join our ranks!

A wide grin spread across Tori's face. He let out a minor "woo!" to join the applause for the Vulcan. The two ensigns had finished their final academy practical coursework together and it was exciting to watch the rest of the crew realize how talented she was.

A’Mayri: ?

Taybrim: And in saying that, let me officially welcome your fellow graduate Ysatch Tori, our new Communications and Operations officer!

Time to look serious.

Ysatch: :: smiling his most normal smile :: Thank you sir, very excited to join the crew.

Taybrim: I am very excited to have you both with us on Ops and I know you will both be fantastic additions to the crew for our upcoming missions.

Ysatch: For anyone I haven't had the chance to meet yet, let's chat soon! Tonight! Not now, after this! I'm going to stop talking now.

Any: ?

There was probably a less awkward way to say that, but Tori was just glad he got through it without majorly embarrassing himself. He had already ruled out doing a cartwheel, he had never done one on sand before.

Seeing the commodore grab his drink flute, Tori quickly fetched one of his own from the drinks table.

Taybrim: And now let me propose a toast, to the crew of StarBase 118 Ops. To the seasoned officers who guide with experience and wisdom, to old friends who we have shared many adventures with together.  To the experienced officers who lead though passion and energy, who are growing and learning and become a bridge between old and new. To friends who we are growing close to. And to our newest officers, bring new ideas, new skills and bright new futures to the team. New friends who fill us with excitement and energy. To all of you.  Thank you for sharing this evening.

Tori's arm joined the other upraised limbs from the Starbase 118 crew. One of many. Together, one crew.

Ysatch: Here here!

Sylvax: To all of you.

Voss: To 118!

Any: ?
