SIM:German Galven - Beyond Thankful

((Officer’s Lounge, USS Veritas))

Rahman: Ensigns Galven and Lovar, would you come here please?

::The way she said that made him surprised. He looked at Lorian and wondered what he had done bad as well. They both walked cautiously side by side until they were in front of the captain.::

Galven: ::stammers:: Y..yes, ma’am?

Lovar: Yes, ma'am?

Rahman: I’m rather appalled that you two thought I wouldn’t notice.

::He looked worried. What did he do now? He looked back at Teller thinking it was something about the pool. But why would German only be here. He tugged at his collar and gave a nervous chuckle.::

Galven: Was it the plants? I--It’s the Vulcan’s anyways!

Lovar: Hey! If anything it was your little melon experiment! It took so long to clean that up!

::She looked over at Mei’konda and shook her head.::

Rahman: This really won’t do, will it, Commander?

::He looked back at Lael, but she seemed to be enjoying this a little too much and laughing at his own expense by covering her mouth. He turned his attention back to the FO and Captain.

Mei’konda: Not at all, Captain.

::Rahman’s gaze turned again toward German and Lovar.::

Rahman: Exceeding expectations in your duties, assisting your colleagues across the ship, and demonstrating the highest degree of excellence as Starfleet officers. ::She crossed her arms.:: Well, what do you have to say for yourselves?

::His heart was thumping hard against his ribcage.::

Galven: I::beat::promise to::beat::do worse?

Lovar: ::Grinning:: It's all my fault, ma'am. I've been too good an influence on Mr.Galven over here. Do what you will!

Rahman: Uh-huh. It seems I’m left with no choice but to punish you with more responsibility. German Galven, Lorian Lovar, it is my great honor at this time as your commanding officer to bestow upon you two the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade, with all the rights and privileges thereof. Congratulations, Lieutenants.

Mei’konda: Congraatulations, Lieutenants.

::The next few seconds were like a daze. He almost lost his balance, but regained his composure as Mei’konda approached him. He started to feel overly excited and humbled that they trusted him enough to promote the Denobulan and then with his friend next to him, he was about to be overcome with emotion, but cleared his throat.:: 

Galven: ::straightens himself:: It’s an honor to serve you both and this ship. I won’t let you down.
