CEO_Lingn says:
CTO:I would like to apologize for my self when I wasn't myself.

CSO_Singh says:
::Stops beside him, sending a smile at the CEO::
CSO_Singh says:
::Quietly::  CTO:  Alec...
CEO_Lingn says:
::smiles back at the CSO::
Host CO_Savar says:
All: And as we continue to deal with the unexpected, we grow as people, and discover new things within ourselves.  Exploration of space is rewarding, yes, but not as much as exploration of the body, mind, and soul.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Pauses momentarily, looking around and picking faces out of the crowd... good, all here::  All: There are a few personnel in particular that I would like to recognize.
CEO_Lingn says:

Host CO_Savar says:
::Crosses his arms, the box well hidden::  OPS: Lieutenant Owens... there have been times in the past when I have been unpleasantly surprised at your behavior and actions.  However, I hope that today can be different.  ::Pulls the box from out of nowhere::
CEO_Lingn says:
::flexes his other set of Antennas::
OPS_Owens says:
::raises an eyebrow::  CO: Sir?
Host CO_Savar says:
OPS: Lieutenant Owens, it is my pleasure to bestow upon you the rank of Lieutenant Commander with all rights and privledges due the rank.  And if you don't accept it this time, I'll throw you in the brig for treason.
OPS_Owens says:
::raises the other eyebrow::  CO: Sir?
CTO_Jarot says:
::shakes his head::  CSO: Not really... I was about to contact the Scimitar's XO directly...
Host CO_Savar says:
OPS: I do believe you heard me, Commander.  ::Presents the box::
OPS_Owens says:
CO: I suppose this means I am required to have MORE responsibilities on ship?
Host CO_Savar says:
OPS: You expect otherwise?

:.applauds for the newly promoted Commander::
CEO_Lingn says:
::applauds::

OPS_Owens says:
::stops slightly embarrassed after hearign the CNS being called::

::Not having had a chance to catch up on what has happened during her sojourn away, she feels rather lost at this gathering.  Moving toward the bar, she orders a peach daquiri.::
CEO_Lingn says:
::gets him another round::
Reyarc says:
::Taking the rare and precious gift back to the couch, he sits down to stare into it.::
Host CO_Savar says:
CNS: Lieutenant Anuviel... You have done exceptionally well in your posting here.  I have nothing but praise, but then again... I have never been good with praise...
CTO_Jarot says:
::continues to watch the activities at the front of the lounge and glances at his stats from time to time::
     ACTION:  As the Bartender tries to get around the Capt behind the podium he accidently knocks over the plant sitting beside the        podium onto it.
CNS_Anuviel says:
::small wry smirk, thinks: Vulcans usually aren't but that's alright::
Reyarc says:
::As the crystal mists, he concentrates, focusing his mind.::
Host SM_Arlene says:
<Bartender> ::Turns beat red and tries to clean up the dirt with a wet rag making mud.::
CEO_Lingn says:
::Looks at the Dirt::
CNS_Anuviel says:
::steps back from getting the mud on her shoes::
OPS_Owens says:
::wonders if the Bartender falls under is realm of control... decides to give him a piece of his mind later anyway::
Host CO_Savar says:

CSO_Singh says:
::Adds her applause and congratulations after putting her empty glass down.::
CNS_Anuviel says:
::nods and smiles at everyone awaiting her cue to depart center stage::
CEO_Lingn says:
::gets him another round::
Reyarc says:
::A frown wrinkles his brow as a familiar face swims into view.  The crystal shatters in his hands.::
Host CO_Savar says:
CNS: I do believe someone is waiting for you, and perhaps we should step aside anyway...
CNS_Anuviel says:
::nods, and steps aside, returning over to Nigel::
OPS_Owens says:
::loops a hand through the CNS' arm as she returns... smiling broadly at her::  CNS: I suppose we have plenty of reasons to celebrate tonight...
Host CO_Savar says:
All: Lieutenant Jarot?

::In surprise he almost drops the undamaged crystal.  Standing, returns it to its safe spot.::
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances up at the CO, and quickly puts his PADD away::  CO: Captain ?
CEO_Lingn says:
::drinks two more glasses or Andorian Ale::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Holds out a PADD for the CTO, motioning him up to the front::
CTO_Jarot says:
::feels a bit ackward, but moves up to the front to join the Captain::
XO_Jarek says:
CTO: Lt.Jarot
CEO_Lingn says:
::feels glad he is drinking synthohol::
Host SM_Arlene says:
<Bartender> ::Pulls out the next bottles to be consumed without looking at the labels... Forgets about the Synthohol.::
XO_Jarek says:
:;Pulls a very official document from behind his back::
Reyarc says:
::Turning towards the window, he looks out into the darkness of space, trying to work out what the vision meant.  Like Harmony, his ability was limited in this universe.  Unlike his adopted sister, it still worked for him upon call.  But then he had had a life time of training.::
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods at the XO::
XO_Jarek says:

::smiles and takes the PADD from the XO and nods::  XO: Thank you, Sir !
CEO_Lingn says:
::applauds::
XO_Jarek says:
CTO: And for that you have shown Honor to Starfleet
XO_Jarek says:
::Holds out his hand to shake the Lt's::
CTO_Jarot says:
::shakes the XO's hand::  XO: Thank you Commander, that means a lot...
CSO_Singh says:
::As the CTO finishes, she turns to exit the doors, her bed sounding better and better.::
Host CO_Savar says:
::One more... looking around, he spots her... better move quick::  All: Lieutenant Singh?
CSO_Singh says:
::As the doors close behind her, she hears a voice and sighs deeply::
CTO_Jarot says:
::mingles in the crowd again, taking up his covert position::
OPS_Owens says:
::turns looking for Lt Singh::
CSO_Singh says:
::Turning around, straightening her uniform, she walks back through the door and looks at the captain::

::Considering the captain hadn't been too happy with her last time, she is not sure quite what to say to Owns.  Quietly::  OPS:  Thanks.

CSO: Ah, Lieutenant, it is agreeable that you could join us... ::motions her forward::

CSO_Singh says:
::Stops and looks at the captain tentatively::
Host CO_Savar says:
CSO: Lieutenant, I am curious to hear about your work with the Revins and Suri... I hope that you can spare a few minutes later to speak of that.
CSO_Singh says:
::Relaxes::  CO:  Yes sir.
Host CO_Savar says:
CSO: Lieutenant, the way you perform your duties still manages to amaze me.  It leaves me with little choice as to what to do with you...
CNS_Anuviel says:
::sighs peacefully and contentedly, standing next to Nigel, watching the whole thing going on::
CSO_Singh says:
::Her eyes open in concern, wondering what she had done this time... she hadn't destroyed anything or tried to at least in many months.::
Host CO_Savar says:
CSO: On this day, I bestow upon you the rank of Lieutenant Commander, with all the additional rights and responsibilites that come with such a high rank.
Reyarc says:
::His thoughts coming back from his home, he turns toward the kitchen to make dinner.:
CTO_Jarot says:
~~~~CSO: Congratz Harm !!   Uh... I mean Ma'am...~~~~  ::grins::
CSO_Singh says:
::Both eyebrows raise in concern, wondering who had made what mistake and where.  Leans forward and asks quietly.::  CO:  Ummm.... Sir?  I mean... are you sure?
Host CO_Savar says:

CSO: Congratulations Commander
