((Conference Room; Starbase118))
:: Leo sat in the Conference Room, with his XO, LtCmdr Sal Taybrim at
his side. The senior crew had assembled as they had done during Leo’s
initial briefing when he had become Chief of the installation. However,
that had been cut short by the ion storm and the crashing of the
Cerberas. Only LtCmdr West and Ensign T’Brei weren’t, having been
reassigned.::
Handley-Page: Welcome everyone.
Anyone: RESPONSES
Handley-Page: I want to congratulate you all on your determination and
bravery during the recent crisis. Despite the difficulties and dangers,
no one shied away from their responsibilities, and many went above and
beyond the call of duty. I want to take this opportunity to recognise
your achievements.
:: Leo looked to his right.::
Handley-Page: Commander Taybrim, do you have anything to add?
Taybrim: ::He gave a nod, looking over at the crew with a calm,
impressed smile:: This station owes many lives to your quick action,
focus and abilities. This crew was presented with a crisis and turned
away the force of the blow. We lost some, but protected so many more
and that achievement rests on this crew.
:: Once the XO had finished talking, Leo looked around the room, his
characteristic friendly grin in evidence. His eyes came to rest upon the
face of his sweetheart, Kaitlyn.::
Handley-Page: Will Lieutenant Falcon please join me at the front of the
room.
:: Leo waited as the red-headed officer made her way to the front.::
Falcon: RESPONSE
Handley-Page: Lieutenant, I have been contacted by your former CO -
Fleet Captain Egan Manno. She informs me of your sterling work aboard
the USS Garuda. He has asked me to present you with the Explorer’s
Ribbon.
:: Leo reached into the oak box on the table, and lifted the ribbon up
to pin on Kaitlyn’s tunic.::
Falcon: RESPONSE
Handley-Page: That’s not all. In light of your excellent flying skills
and bravery aboard the USS Aramis, I am also confirming you in the role
of *Chief* Helms Officer for Starbase118 and the USS Albion.
Congratulations!
:: Leo resisted the strong urge to hug Kaitlyn, and instead gave her a
hearty handshake.::
Falcon: RESPONSE
Taybrim: ::A grin:: Congratulations, Lieutenant. no one will deny that
was some amazing flying out there.
:: Leo clapped as Kaitlyn returned to her seat, Leo reached into the oak
box for the next award.::
Handley-Page: Will Lieutenant JG Trel’lis please join us?
Trel’lis: RESPONSE
:: Leo and Sal waited for the young Diplomat to come to the front of the
room. Leo offered her a reassuring smile.::
Handley-Page: As with Lieutenant Falcon, I have spoke to the Fleet
Captain of the Garuda who was also Trel’lis’ last CO. I am happy to
announce that you too have been awarded the Explorer’s Ribbon.
:: Leo pinned this ribbon to Trel’lis’ tunic, and offered Trel’lis his
hand.::
Trel’lis: RESPONSE
Taybrim: Congratulations. ::He smiled:: this is well deserved.
:: Leo cleared his throat and then continued.::
Handley-Page: I have also been speaking to my friend and colleague,
Ambassador Calderan. She tells me about how you’ve worked hard in your
new diplomatic role despite issues that have necessitated you taking a
medical leave of absence. I saw how diligently you worked during the
recent crisis and I was impressed with your dedication to duty above
self. This is what Starfleet is all about, and therefore it gives me
great pleasure to promote you to full Lieutenant.
Trel’lis: RESPONSE
:: Leo nodded to Sal, and allowed him to pin the pip on Trel’lis’
collar.::
Taybrim: :He swapped the half pip for a full pip and offered the newly
minted Lieutenant a hand:: Diplomatic is a difficult role to fulfill. I
have strong faith in your abilities, Lieutenant. And we’re here to help
you along your way.
:: There was applause for the newly minted Lieutenant as she returned to
her seat. Leo looked into the oak box for the next shiny piece of good
news.::
Handley-Page: Will Ensign Sabina Tiam please come forward.
Tiam: RESPONSE
Taybrim: ::His dark eyes sparkled. Another one of his away team, and
another officer he had been highly impressed with:: Your work on the
away team was excellent, Ensign. You supported the other members every
step of the way, and I was impressed with your poise while we were quite
literally under fire.
Handley-Page: As with all of my new crew, I have been in contact with
your former COs. Admiral Jaxx of the USS Apollo recommended you highly
to me, and I have not been disappointed at all. It gives me great
pleasure to promote you to Lieutenant JG with immediate effect.
Congratulations.
:: Again, Leo let Sal do the honours with the pip.::
Tiam: RESPONSE
Taybrim: ::pinning on the second pip and offering a hand::
Congratulations Lieutenant. This is well earned.
:: The applause bubbled around the room and Leo took in the scene..::
Handley-Page: Will Ensign Clayas Vell please join me here.
Vell: RESPONSE
:: As Vell made his way up, Leo pulled out another ribbon.::
Handley-Page: Captain Nugra endorsed your work on the USS Victory, and I
have not seen any reason to doubt his confidence in you. Please accept
Captain Nugra’s Commendation for your work.
:: Leo pinned the Captain’s Commendation ribbon to Vell’s tunic, and
shook his hand.::
Vell: RESPONSE
Taybrim: ::Offering a hand:: Congratulations Ensign. I can see why
Nugra spoke highly of you. You were a valuable asset to our team and I
thank you for that.
:: More applause, then Leo raised his hand for polite hush.::
Handley-Page: Major tr’Khellian, please join me here.
:: The injured Major was recovering well it seemed from his injuries
sustained when he piloted the Cerberas into deep space, nearly losing
his life.::
tr'Khellian: RESPONSE
:: Leo was once a Major of Marines himself, and appreciated the
Romulan/Betazoid’s courage and self-sacrifice.::
Handley-Page: For your bravery and selflessness during the recent
mission, I award you both the Purple Heart for your injuries, and the
Silver Star for bravery. Congratulations!
tr'Khellian: RESPONSE
Taybrim: Congratulations, Major. We couldn’t have saved the station
without you. ::offering a deep nod of respect:: And I’m very glad we
got you back.
:: With the Major rightly recognised, Leo carried on.::
Handley-Page: Chief Petty Officer Nessa James, please come forward.
James: RESPONSE
:: The pink haired young woman made her way up. Leo reached in and
pulled out another ribbon.::
Handley-Page: For your work in decoding the strange signals going
through the Dawnbreaker, I am awarding you the Innovation Ribbon.
:: He fixed it to her tunic.::
Handley-Page: Congratulations.
James: RESPONSE
Taybrim: ::His dark eyes twinkled. He did remember her from the Darwin.
Though they hadn’t spent any time together, he remembered her as a
spitfire who was rumored to have punched a Romulan dignitary. This was
proof positive that time brings change and Sal’s optimism that change
means good things was well rewarded in this case:: Congratulations,
chief. You were our lifeline out there, over the comms.
:: Leo nodded and then scooped the last batch of ribbons.::
Handley-Page: Finally, I wish to award to all those in the late shuttle,
the USS Aramis, as well as Ensign Rix for defusing the torpedo and
Lieutenant Toral for apprehending the intruder - the Legion of Merit for
the risks they took.
:: Leo turned and grinned at Sal. Leo had not told him of his award.::
Taybrim: ::A smile on his face:: Risks gladly taken for this station.
But I am most happy to be able to share in these awards with everyone
safe and sound.
Rix / Tiam / Vell / Toral: RESPONSES
:: When all the ribbons had been awarded, Leo addressed the whole group
again.::
Handley-Page: Even to those who did not get a ribbon or a promotion this
time, I offer you my gratitude and thanks. We are now a well-oiled
machine, forged in the heat of a life or death crisis. You have my full
confidence.
Velana / Matthews / Stevens / Mitchell: RESPONSES
