((Captain's Mess, USS Veritas -- Docked at Star Station Esperance))
Rahman: To the officers of the USS Veritas, it has been my distinct pleasure to serve as your commanding officer. I've never been one good at saying good-byes, so instead I'd like to begin with celebrating your achievements.
Jansen smiled with pride at Wil standing in the spot normally reserved for the XO. Wil had grown as an officer so much in the time he had known him he deserved any new responsibilities that he was given.
Rahman: First, Lieutenant Wong, Ensign Reade, and Ensign Thorne: for holding off a Klingon boarding party using the power of holoprogramming, I hereby award you the Innovation Ribbon.
Thorne: ::surprised look:: Thank you, Captain.
Wong: ::With a nod:: Thank you, Captain. I would say it was a team effort.
Reade: Thank you very much, Captain. I definitely could have not done it without ::looking towards:: Thorne and Wong.
Rahman: Next, for fighting off a Klingon boarding party and defending this starship from capture, I award Ensign Reade and Lt. Commander Ukinix with the Good Conduct Ribbon. Well-done, gentlemen.
Reade: Once again, Thank you Captain. :: To Wil: I owe you buddy for that one. Drinks on me after.
Ukinix: ::Cheeky smirk:: I’m going to hold you to that, Ensign.
The newest crop of officers was turning out to be just as inventive and resourceful as ever. It was a huge hope for the future of things in the Federation.
Rahman: Commander Blake, Ensign Thorne, Lieutenant Wong, and Lt. Commander Allison-Parker, I hereby also award you the Good Conduct Ribbon for your actions escorting our guest Kallo Ver to safety.
Thorne: ::under her breath dripping with sarcasm:: Oh yeah...that wonderful guy. ::changing her expression to that of a smile and looking at the Captain:: Thank you again, Captain.
Allison-Parker: Thank you, Captain…
Blake: Response
Wong: Thank you, Captain
Rahman: Finally, I'd like to recognize Lieutenant Wong's efforts in organizing and championing a mental health week in the wake of the conflict with the Klingon separatists. Lieutenant, I hereby award you the Unity Ribbon.
Wong: Thank you, Captain. I only wished to see our crew happy and healthy.
Ukinix: ::Smiling, whispering:: Well done mate.
Rahman: Next, I'd like to award the officers who accompanied me to locate the lost shuttlepod of the Earth Starfleet ship Endeavour. Besides myself, Ensign Reade, Lieutenant Wong, Lt. Commander Parker, Ensign Thorne, and Ensign Kivik are hereby recognized with the Scientific Discovery Ribbon. Congratulations!
Reade: Captain, it was my honor to attend that mission. Hopefully, that closes a major mystery in Starfleet’s records.
Wong: Thank you. I’ve learned so much on that mission.
Parker: It was the least we could do for their families
Kivik: ::To Ukinix, accepting the ribbon from him:: Thank you Commander. ::Turning to Rahman:: And thank you, Captain. It meant a lot to me to be included on that mission.
Thorne: ::to Kivik smiling:: You did well.
Rahman: Next, I'd like to award the Defense of Temporal Flow Ribbon to Lieutenant Toliver and Lt. Commander Ukinix for finding a way to get an undermanned Veritas out of a temporal loop. Acting Ensign Tracey Townson is also recognized in abstentia.
Ukinix: ::Smiling:: There y’are Lieutenant, although after 27 loops I reckon you deserve two of these.
Toliver::smiling:: So do you, commander. And thank you.
Rahman: And finally for our most recent mission, I'd like to recognize several parties. First, for helping keep alive the miners who were trapped deep within the Russell River Dilithium Mine, I hereby recognize Ensign Reade and Lieutenant Wong with the Captain’s Commendation.
Reade: Wow! Thanks again, Captain Rahman. I could not have done without Lt.JG Wong with me.
Wong: And I couldn’t have done it without Ensign Reade and my team. Thank you, Captain.
Rahman: Next, I'd like to recognize Commander Blake, Lt. Commander Ukinix, and Ensign Kivik with the Innovation Ribbon for creating a modified prototype of Tristam Core’s MST project to rescue those miners trapped deep underground.
Blake: Response
Kivik: I… I’m speechless, Captain. Thank you very much.
Ukinix: I think I’m going to donate mine to Commander Core. That would never have worked without his groundwork.
Rahman: And finally, for the entire crew who worked together with the Antor II government and first responders, you all are hereby recognized with the Joint Meritorious Unit Award.
Thorne: Congrats everyone! I brought candy for eveyone to celebrate!
Reade: Congrats everyone!
Ukinix: ::Throwing box with ribbon to each person:: You get a ribbon. ::Another throw:: And you get a ribbon! ::Yet another throw:: And *you* get a ribbon!
Jansen chuckled as he shifted his glass around to catch the box that sailed toward him.
Rahman: Before we depart as a crew, there is one final manner. Ensigns Reade and Thorne, Lieutenant Wong, will you please step forward?
Thorne: Yes, Captain?
Reade: Sure, Captain?
Wong: Captain?
Rahman: As my last act as your commanding officer, I am pleased to promote you all to the next rank, effective with the start of your next assignment. Lieutenants Reade and Thorne, your service to this ship has been commendable, and I wish you both great success in your next postings.
Reade: Oh! I am to.. Totally lost for a.. Words here. Thanks a lot, Captain. Congrats to you Lilith and Ikaia.
Thorne: ::smiling:: Th...thank you Captain. Certainly is a surprise.
The captain nodded and then looked over at the blond Klingon PA. She shook her head.
Rahman: It's been an interesting tour to say the least, Lieutenant.
Wong: It well and truly has. But it also has been an enlightening one as well.
Rahman: Well, I've spoken to your supervising physician Dr. Sampi. He wished for me to forward some news to you. You've been accepted into the emergency medicine fellowship for physician assistants back at Starfleet Medical. Furthermore, upon completion of your fellowship, you will be eligible for appointment as a chief medical officer at your next assignment. Congratulations.
Wong: Captain, I….. You… you have no idea how much this means to me. I’m… I’m honoured….
Rahman: Keep this as a reminder of all that you have learned here.
Wong: Thank you, Captain. I will never forget this.
Rahman: I heard from many people before I took this assignment five years ago that the Shoals changes people. Out here where resources are scarce and we are often the only ones we can count on, it's easy to get cynical or frustrated... maybe even disappointed.
Jansen smirked sharing the most minor of nods in agreement to the sentiment, between the colonists, Tholians, Pirates, the Shoals was a unique place to say the least.
Rahman: But over these past years, I've seen you all and those who came before you on this ship step up to the challenge to provide services for the colonists who call this region home.
Jansen smiled back at the captain with a respectful nod. He was working hard to keep his stoic face in place.
Rahman: And for a brief time, it was our home as well. The Shoals may have changed each of us, but each of you has also changed the Shoals--for the better.
The crew from the least to the most tenured had in fact worked, most had hit the ground running in their debuts. All of them had always given 110% in every single mission they had assigned.
Rahman: Your time on Veritas has prepared you well for any assignment that awaits you next. I can't wait to see what that will be for all of you. It's a big fleet out there, but you'll be surprised when you might cross each other's paths again.
She chuckled softly.
Rahman: Now go, enjoy your leave.
The captain of the USS Veritas nodded one last time at her crew and clasped her hands together.
Rahman: That's my final order.
Jansen reached up with the tip of his thumb and brushed the small beginning of a tear from the corners from his eyes.

((OOC: The Veritas has been a ship like no other. I realize that Jansen harps on the “Family of Starfleet” quite often, but the Veritas and the crew here have represented that in spades. From the Command Staff down, every single character..every single person is amazing beyond belief. It has been a pleasure to write with all of you and get to know you. I look forward to continuing to work with all of you as we move forward to Amity. ))
