Twilight's Edge, DS17 ::The Commander coughed, and then activated the room's voice- amplification system.:: Kare'en: Ladies, Gentlemen, Officers and Guests, if I could have your attention please... ::The Commander waited until he had most everyone's attention before continuing.:: Kare'en: It is hard to believe, but we've been here over a year at Deep Space 17. It has been a year full of surprises and excitement, but I feel that we've more than surpassed our orders here in re- establishing a Starfleet presence here closer to the galactic core. ::Kare'en raised his glass.:: Kare'en: To the crews of the Wallace and Deep Space 17. Kirov: To the Wallace! Kare'en: It is also my happy pleasure be the Commanding Officer of the best d****d crews in Starfleet. And as such, it's my privilege to do the following. Is Lt jg Barlow here? Barlow/anyone: response(s)? Kare'en: Front and center, Mr. Barlow. Barlow: response? Kare'en: For the services you've performed on behalf of Starfleet and your crewmates, it is my great honor to promote you to full Lieutenant, with all the duties and privileges pertaining thereunto. Barlow: response? ::The Commander attempts to remove Barlow's half pip and attach a full pip, only to have his fingers touch bare skin. Kare'en looks up at Barlow confusedly.:: Kare'en: ::under his breath:: Mr. Barlow? Barlow: response? Kare'en: Ah, I see. Well, congratulations, Lieutenant Barlow. ::The Commander offers his hand.:: Barlow: response? ::The Commander smiled and turned back to the crowd.:: Kare'en: Is Lieutenant Kirov present? Kirov: Aye sir. ::Kirov seemed somewhat surprised at being called up...:: Kare'en: Lieutenant, it has been my privilege to serve with you from our respective beginnings in the Fleet. But your time here at Deep Space 17, you have really come into your own. Mr. Kirov, I hereby promote you to Lieutenant Commander, with all the duties and privileges pertaining thereonto. Kirov: Thank you sir. ::The Commander pins the new half-pip to the taller man, and he leans forward to shake his friend's hand.:: Kare'en: ::under his breath:: Congratulations, John. Kirov: ::under his breath:: Thanks for the extra paper work ::The Commander again turned back to the crowd.:: Kare'en: It is also tradition in the Fleet once a year to honor special individuals who have distinguished themselves in the performance of their duties. Is Lt Tavex here? Anyone: response? ::The Commander frowned. Well, he would look into the matter later.:: Kare'en: Is Lieutenant Salak here? Salak: ::standing:: Yes, sir? Kare'en: Mr. Salak, through the various scrapes the ship and the station have been through, you've managed to keep us together. I'm not sure I even want to know how you did it some times. Salak: Logic has played its part... Kare'en: Because of your achievements in the past year, it is my honor to award you The Order of Starfleet Merit and Achievement, First Class. Salak: ::nodding, his head slightly tilted to the left as he faces his CO:: Thank you sir... Kare'en: ::under his breath:: In case I haven't said it, it's good to have you back, Mr. Salak. Salak: ::trying hard to suppress any emotions:: Just doing my job... ::The Commander straightened and scanned the crowd again. Ah, there was Dr. Riley now, hurrying into the restaurant. And was that Lieutenant Storos behind her?:: Kare'en: Could Dr. Riley come forward? Riley: Aye Sir. Kare'en: It is not easy being a Starfleet doctor, trying to keep body and soul together in the face of all the dangers we face. Thus it is my privilege to present you with two awards. First, The Order of Starfleet Merit and Achievement, Second Class. And second, the B'Plot Award. Riley: Thank you Sir. Kare'en: And finally, if Mr. Barlow could return to front and center. Barlow/anyone: response(s)? Kare'en: In addition to the actions that merited your promotion, your service to the crew while facing personal injury and bodily harm also allows me the privilege of awarding you the Sheathed Sword Award. Barlow: response? ::The Commander turned to the crowd again.:: Kare'en: Ladies, Gentlemen, Officers, Honored Guests, I give you our promotees and awardees! Devar: Here, here!
