As the party progressed, Josh realized that he knew Lhandon somehow. It hadn't been clear exactly how he knew the man, and he was left with more unanswered questions after trying to do preliminary digging. The opening of the new operations centre had provided him an opportunity to ask deeper questions, but Nilsen had not been willing to share much detail — however, a friendship had started to form between the men. He was left wondering if this was the same ensign who had been highly publicized in the FNS ([https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/qqSx63zktzo/m/M8YuKBrRBQAJ 29]|[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/oPkGeMcsLUg/m/MGcb-cwNBAAJ 30]). | As the party progressed, Josh realized that he knew Lhandon somehow.

A week after the farewell party was the awards ceremony, where Herrick receive a promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade, as well as the [Legion of Merit] and [Captain's Commendation] for his service during the Esh-o mission. The recognition and quick promotion had caught him off guard, but he gratefully accepted and had told the Commodore that he wouldn't let her down. It would be an interesting shift, where a more junior engineer would be leading a whole department, but he was willing to take on the challenge ([https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/aOAbA_NJ8-A/m/LOfRcqEMBAAJ 31]) | A week after the farewell party was the awards ceremony, where Herrick receive a promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade, as well as the [[Legion of Merit]] and [[Captain's Commendation]] for his service during the Esh-o mission.

Before their next mission began, Josh had invited [[Lhandon Nilsen]] to have lunch with him; attempting to get to know the man better and ultimately determining how he knew the officer ([https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/-cSYFXJdaYE/m/Sd5D0LTfBQAJ 32]). However, things escalated quickly as Herrick mentioned a news article that flashed up on the PADD with Nilsen accusing him of acting on behalf of a gossip reporter ([https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/xSjswzPrOW4/m/RvgmN0k6AAAJ 33]). After he stormed off, his roommate and new Chief of Ops [[Toxin Arlill]], came to investigate what exactly had happened. The Bolian/Tellerite hybrid explained that Nilsen has a complicated past and not to push so hard, which led Josh to pursue his own investigation rather than trying to extract it out him ([https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/TjiI9gH-hsw/m/ezX7x4o7AAAJ 34]). As he continued on, he wondered, was he hurting the man in the spirit of trying to satisfy his curiosity ([https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/88R7WwSWquw/m/PjH7MlY8AAAJ 35]). | |||
