In the Town Where I was Born - Mission 11 - 11308.20

Summary:  The Claymore's crew enjoys a well-deserved shore leave now that the Albidians are safe and Q has gone.  With half of the shore leave complete the Captain calls the crew together in the Albidian Celebration Complex.

******************** Resume Mission **********************

SCENE: The Albidian Celebration Complex is a wonder of modern designs.  Bringing old world and new design philosophies together in a brilliant six story building.  Twenty four large quartz statues of the Albidian founding fathers hold up the entire structure at the ground level as if raising the complex towards the heavens.  The entire ground floor around the statues and under the complex is a showcase of Albidian flora.  To the center of the garden is a glass turbo lift to gently take guests up to each level of the building.  Each of the levels hosts a panoramic view of the Albidian city of Nilton along with the Grand Mountains near the horizon. The sixth level is a grand display of solid white marble, glass, and precious metal carvings.  The showcase is the water garden with its flowing latinum waterfall and living rock formations that reform every hour.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::In their vehicle heading for the celebration complex, the windows down.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Sitting on the bed, leaning over putting on her shoes.  She puts the last shoe on and stands, walks over to the mirror, straightening her uniform.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Sitting in a chair in the Aldibian Celebration Complex, admiring the care taken in the garden, and the craftsmanship of the structure itself::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods and heads for the door, exiting she makes her way outside and heads for the Celebration complex::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Stares at one of the quartz statues as if hoping the opulence will vanish if he looks at it hard enough, but finally gives up his watch and turns, moving slowly toward the center since he's early::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Turns their vehicle into the parking area of the complex, tugging at the collar of his dress uniform as he turns off the engine.::
Gladwyn says:
::Popping her head over the front seat::  CNS:  Are we there yet?
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Enters the complex, pulling on the collar of his dress uniform and muttering curses to the... person...  that invented them::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Continues her walk as she sees the complex not far ahead::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Picks up his glass of water from the side table and has a drink, wondering about the history and architecture that went into this rather spectacular building, opulent though it may be::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Getting out of the vehicle, she stands to look at the complex::  CNS:  Interesting...
Gladwyn says:
::Climbs out the door as her mother opens if for her.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Sees the CTO and approaches::  CTO:  Good evening, Commander.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Smiles back at Gladwyn.::  Gladwyn:  We're here little one.  ::Steps out of the vehicle looking at the complex.::  CSO:  They didn't spare any expense did they.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Looks up and smiles::  CAG:  Mister Hawk, good evening.  How has shore leave been treating you?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Takes her drink from a nearby vender, and wanders into the complex, absently past Hawk and Damrok, as she moves toward a table essentially abutting the garden, where the flowers are literally under her nose::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Smiles::  CTO:  Better than expected, sir.  I read the mission report...  you and the team had a tough time of it after the Claymore snatched me away.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Watches bemused as the CMO wanders by without a word::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
:: taking her daughters hand, she heads for the building::  CNS:  No, but then every culture should have something special.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Walking into the Turbo Lift and orders level 6.::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Wanders over into the same area as Damrok, Hawk, and Raeyld, continuing to occasionally glare at a statue or carving as he walks::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Walks along with Eris and Gladwyn toward the central lift in the gardens.::
Gladwyn says:
::Too many vehicles to see over, she flies toward head level of her uncle Theron::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Steps off the lift on level 6 and smiles at the Claymore crew gathering.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CNS:  Have I mentioned recently how much I do NOT like large public events?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Looks up from the rose she's been absently staring at, as Kytides passes:: ::Warmly:: TO: Lieutenant.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Shrugs slightly, but smiles nevertheless::  CAG:  It worked out, perhaps despite everyone's plans.  I'm just glad the Claymore managed to make it through the effects of the changes to the black hole.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Smiles up at Gladwyn.::  CSO:  You might have mentioned something once or twice.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Moves closer to where the senior officers are gathering.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Nods in agreement::  CTO:  It was...  touch and go for a bit.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Steps into the turbolift, looking around at the amazing architecture::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Hmphs just before they start to merge with others arriving.::  CNS:  I vote for a short evening.  ::Puts a hand to his ear::  I hear the beach calling for us.  It misses us.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CTO:  Commander Damrok.  ::Smiles and extends his hand.::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Looks away from a bit of marble, nodding to Raeyld::  CMO:  Sir.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Stands, having been too absorbed to notice the admiral's approach::  Cosgrave:  Sir.  ::Shakes his hand::  My apologies;  I did not see you enter.
Gladwyn says:
::Giggles as she flies a little bit higher to see over the heads of others.::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
CSO:  We'll see what we can do, a nice evening on the beach, maybe a fire would be nice.  Never been much for beaches until this trip, must be the company.  ::Smiles over at her.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::As the doors open onto level 6 she steps out and looks at the marble and garden that surrounds.  It was amazing the work and time it had taken to make such a place::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Startled to see the Admiral appear (aren't they supposed to say peek a boo or something), steps back to allow the Commander and Admiral to speak uninterrupted::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Smiles.::  CTO: No apologies needed Commander.  CAG: Lieutenant Hawk.  How are things going on the flight deck?  ::Extends his hand.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
TO: I hope you've found your stay...uh...productive.  ::Not going to ask if he's enjoyed himself, since, if she has any idea as to what Kytides' is like whatsoever, there's a decent chance he hasn't done much stereotypical "recreating."::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CNS:  Much better than trying to figure out how to survive in the middle of nowhere.  ::Shakes her head at the idea of camping... Gladwyn and she had no desire to do that again.  She did not need another brother.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Steps forward to shake the Admiral's hand::  Cosgrave:  It goes well, sir.  Thank you for asking.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::With that thought she smiles as she sees Hawk near the admiral.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Folds his hands behind his back, waiting as Cosgrave issues his greetings::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CAG: Good to hear it.  From the reports I am seeing nothing but good things.  Keep up the good work.   CTO/CAG: I will see you both later on then.  I'm buying the first round tonight.  ::Smiles and moves slowly down to the next set of officers.::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Tilts his head slightly, trying to think of a non-awkward way to respond::  CMO:  It's been...good to be on the ground.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Shakes his head::  CTO:  He's never what I expect.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks around a bit and then notices the Admiral speaking to Damrok and Hawk.  Begins to head that way as she spots Raeyld::  CMO/TO: Raeyld, Lieutenant.  ::Nods::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Approaches Doctor Raeyld and Lieutenant Kytides.::  CMO:  Doctor Raeyld a pleasure as always.  ::Smiles and extends his hand.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Smiles gently:: TO: I agree.  CO: Captain! Good to see you.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Seeing the captain she makes her way in that direction which appears to be heading for Sky.  At least if they vanish, they have proof they were there.::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Blinks as he nods, not having noticed the rapidly growing number of people::  CO:  Captain.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CAG:  Oh?  How so?
CNS LtJG Foster says:
CSO:  Aren't you supposed to rough it when you camp,  ::Chuckles as they approach the others.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Stands to her feet as she hears and sees the Admiral approach:: Admiral: A pleasure, Admiral Cosgrave. ::Shakes his hand firmly but briefly::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Shrugs::  CTO:  I don't know...  when I think he's going to be all hardnosed Admiral, he's friendly....  ::smiles::  Of course, this could have more to do with my lack of knowledge on Admirals than anything else.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CNS:  Having experienced the real thing for a couple of months... ::A touch of sadness crosses her face briefly::  give me the beach any day.  ::Considers::  Though if your cooking....
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: And you as well.  ::turns to the Admiral::
Gladwyn says:
::Seeing her Uncle Sky, she heads toward him, literally over the heads of others.::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CO: Captain T'Shara I see the Claymore has saved the day once again.  ::Smiles and extends his hand.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Spots a pair of wings and laughs::  CTO:  Incoming, sir
Gladwyn says:
::Zeros in with a giggle and moves to throw her arms around her uncle.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Her "courtesy duties" complete, she turns back to Kytides:: TO: Have you found anything particularly interesting here?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Extends her hand and shakes the Admiral hand, with a slight smile::  Admiral: Good to see you as always Admiral.  Well we try our best.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
CSO:  You know me I love to cook.  ::Gives her a grin.::  Shall we mingle, I know how much you love to.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CNS:  I think we have been abandoned.  ::Smiles::  Babysitter for the evening?
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Laughs and returns the hug::  Hi Glady!  I see that you've escaped your Mom!
CO Capt T’Shara says:
Admiral: We wouldn't want to disappoint.  ::a slight grin on her face as she gives Raeyld and Kytides a glance::
Gladwyn says:
CAG:  No... she is coming.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Smiles and nods politely as Gladwyn arrives;  has not had much contact with them, and doesn't really know what to expect::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CO:  I'll take the Claymore's best any day Captain.  ::Smiles.::   TO: Lieutenant Kytides.  ::Extends his hand.::   How is life aboard the Claymore treating you?
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Turns back to the CTO with an apologetic half smile::  CTO:  If you'll excuse me, sir?
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CAG:  By all means.  ::Smiles and sits back down at his table, picking up his glass of water::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Bows her head slightly::  Admiral: Aye Admiral, thank you.
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Shrugs slightly and noncommittally to Raeyld's question, but before he can answer is beset by confusion at the Admiral's greeting, hurriedly extending his hand for the shake::  Admiral:  Well, Sir.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: So how has your shoreleave been.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Takes Gladwyn's hand::  Gladwyn:  Let's go find your Mom and make her get you some candy.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Smiles:: CO: Peaceful.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Stops by her brother::  CAG:  Candy is not on the list.  Dinner first.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Smiles at Kytides awkwardness and continues to listen.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Smiles warmly::  CSO:  Hi, Sis.  ::Nods toward Gladwyn::  I think you lost this.  The least you can do is repay her in candy.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Smiles::  CMO: Good to hear.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Slowly:: CO: Have you heard any news from Vulcan yet?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Lowers her head some::  CMO: No nothing yet which concerns me.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CAG:  I did not lose her, she abandoned us for you.  Sooo... I think she is yours for the night. ::smiles with a touch of mischief.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: I'm sorry, Captain... I wish I had resources on Vulcan with which to help...
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Blinks again as the Admiral continues looking at him, expecting more::  Admiral:  ...The crew is good, Sir.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
TO: And how about you Mr. Kytides?
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CSO:  Oh no...  I have plans, I'm afraid.  ::grins down at Gladwyn::  But...  tomorrow?  We buy out every candy store on this planet!
Gladwyn says:
::Smiles and nods her head.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CAG:  Yea... I have heard a few rumors...
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks back up at Raeyld::  CMO: Thank you.  I appreciate that.  I am still trying to figure out what to do next.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CSO:  You should know better than to listen to rumors.  I'm studying for...  ummmm....  tactical flight boards.  Yeah...  that's it.
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Mind blanking out, just starts talking in small, meaningless sentences, hoping for this to end::  Admiral:  I...am doing well, Sir.  It took some time to adjust.  But I'm settled in now.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: Perhaps there would be the possibility of taking leave, to help search yourself?  I realize statistically it's unlikely for one person to make a difference....but the numbers just don't seem to make a difference when it's -your- family.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Deliberately and dramatically rolls her eyes::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Smiles again.::  TO:  That’s good to hear Lieutenant.  Enjoy the rest of your shore leave.  ::Nods and moves on to the next set of officers.::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Laughs at Hawks response.::  CAG:  Gonna have to work on that, need smoother execution if you expect anyone to believe you.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Moves slowly through the Claymore crew nodding and smiling until he reaches Commander Senn and Lieutenant Foster.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Downs his water in several gulps::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Grins at Foster::  CNS:  Probably right, but Eris quit believing me years ago.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Mutters::  I cannot imagine why.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CSO: Commander Senn.  It is good to see you again.  ::Extends his hand.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Elbows his sister with a cheerful smile::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Releases a long slow breath and rescinds his mental wish for a sudden Vroa invasion::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Turns slightly toward the voice and takes the hand::  Adm:  Thank you sir.  And I can guarantee all the chocolate was accounted for.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
CAG:  That’s probably true, can only do so much with this audience.  ::Grins and turns to the new arrival and straightens slightly when he sees the admiral.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Smiles as Cosgrave moves on, then turns back to Kytides:: TO: Return to status yellow?  ::Tilts her head::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Smothers a laugh as both the CNS and the CSO are surprised by the Admiral and quickly turns to the table, suddenly deeply interested in the food choices::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: Perhaps.  Aye, it is not the same when it is your family.  I just would have thought I would have heard something by now.  They couldn't have just vanished.  ::Looks at the relief in Kytides face as the Admiral leaves::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Blinks and starts, then swiftly works to compose himself again, though he can't stop a small smile twitching at the corner of his mouth::  CMO:  Hopefully.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Laughs.::  CSO:  Good to hear Commander.  CNS:  Councilor Foster.  Good to see you again.  ::Extends his hand.::  I see you have everything in good hands on the Claymore.  Everyone seems in good spirits.
Gladwyn says:
::Hovering next to Uncle Sky, she looks curiously at the food.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Looks over::  Gladwyn:  What looks good, kiddo?
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Takes the hand and smiles.::  Adm:  They definitely keep me on my toes.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Smiles with a touch of humor:: TO: Don't worry, Lieutenant. You'll find a way to return to status green someday.  Or... ::With an undue joviality:: ...you'll one day be like me.  ::On that ominous counseling, she bows to T'Shara and Kytides:: CO: Captain,  TO: Lieutenant.
Gladwyn says:
::Tugs lightly on her speech enhancer:: CAG:  I do not know Uncle... it all looks different.  I do like fruit.  ::Looks a bit hopeful at him.::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CNS:  I know you can handle it Councilor.  Please excuse me.   ::Bows and move across the room to a raised podium.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Leans over and whispers::  CNS:  Is this were I get to vanish?
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Tilts his head slightly, puzzling at what that means in terms of the metaphor, nods in return before turning to focus on the Admiral::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Sets his glass down on the table and sits up a bit straighter::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Picks several pieces of fruit and places them on a plate::  Gladwyn:  All yours!
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::She bows to Raeyld and turns to Admiral Cosgrave::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Taps on the mic.::  ALL:  If you would all take a seat.  ::Motions over to the chairs set up near the center of the room.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Takes up her glass, then moves toward the front of the room, settling into a seat at the edge of the room (still near the flowers), as she looks up to the Admiral::
Gladwyn says:
::Smiling reaches down to take the plate::  CAG:  Thank you...
CNS LtJG Foster says:
CSO:  Not sure they admiral would be happy if you left before his speach.  ::Turns toward the podium and moves towards a seat.::  Shall we.
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Moves quickly to take a seat::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CNS:  Welllll... you could tell me what he said later.  ::Smiles::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Smiles with affection::  Gladwyn:  Anytime.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CO: Captain if you would join me please.  CTO:  And you also Commander Damrok.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods and makes her way up to the podium::
Gladwyn says:
::Seeing a group of kids, she moves slightly higher to avoid any heads and goes toward them with her plate.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Grins for a moment after the departing Gladwyn, then turns toward the podium::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
CSO:  Not a chance, if I have to stay, you do.  ::Takes a seat.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Chuckling lightly, she finds herself pulled down into the nearest seat.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Overhearing the CNS as he moves to a seat::  CSO:  Oh yes, dear sister....  if you try to escape, I shall rat you out loudly.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
All:  As you know Starfleet and the Federation has been through a lot in the past few months.  ::Looks out at the crew members.::   This latest threat to our way of life was stopped by a handful of dedicated vessels and their crews.  Many lost friends, comrades, and even family to the Vroa menace.  But Starfleet prevailed.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Quietly::  CAG:  Speaking of rats... how is yours?  ::Turns back to listen.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Whispers back::  CSO:  In your clothes bin, why?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Stands off to the side of the admiral and listens looking out at the officers::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Knowing Gladwyn would never forgive him, she just shakes her head with a smile.::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
All:  For its part the Claymore single handedly stopped the Bajor Offensive, then going to Vulcan to support Starfleet Operations there.  The courage and outstanding valor of the Claymore and her crew will be a beacon of Starfleet honor.  With that I am presenting the crew of the Claymore with the Starfleet Medal of Valor.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
All:  I salute you all for your service.  ::Salutes.::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CO:  Captain I will turn this over to you.  ::Smiles and claps for the crew of the Claymore.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods and walks over to the podium::  Admiral: Thank you.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Commander Damrok, your faithful service as Chief Tactical Officer has been exemplary.  But, I'm afraid after a long review of your qualifications you have become over qualified to continue as our Chief Tactical Officer.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: You will immediately turn over Tactical Command codes and your side arm.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Lifts a brow in curiosity, wondering what the captain had in mind, knowing, for a Vulcan, she liked to dramatize things.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: With much sadness I am asking you to no longer wear the uniform of a tactical officer.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Watches with interest and a bit of surprise::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Smiles quietly::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Blinks, then bites the corner of his tongue, putting two and two together and getting the appropriate number as he watches::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: With that chapter of your career over it is my honor to welcome you to your new position as my second in command and the Executive officer of the USS Claymore.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: You will now wear the uniform of the Claymore command staff with all the rights and privileges there of.  May god have mercy on your soul.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Stands and marches forward to T'Shara, wearing a reserved if pleased smile::  CO:  It will be my honor to serve you, Captain.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Not at all surprised, she applauds::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Extends her hand::  CTO: Just remember I will still be going on away missions despite your argument otherwise.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Applauds quietly::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Smiles pleased.  Not totally unexpected, but nice to see::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Smiles at the captain’s comment, did Vulcan’s even believe in souls, he applauds.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: If you'd please stay up here with me and help me with the next bit of business.
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Joins in the applause after the others start it up::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Shakes her hand, smiling pleasantly, but there is a gleam of rather dangerous intent in his eye::  CO:  Of course, Sir.  ::Pivots to face the rest of the crew, and folds his hands neatly behind his back::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
All: Would Flight Lieutenant Hawk, Counselor Foster and Lieutenant Kytides please step forward.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Turns slightly to watch them stand and head forward.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Smiles once more, finding herself relaxing as the evening progresses. Once of the few perks of Commander Rank - no more surprise promotions::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Glances at Eris then stands and steps up toward the podium.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Stands and moves forward::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Lets a deep breath out as he stands, wondering if a statue will collapse on him to make today even more uncomfortable, and moves up with the others::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Walks up in front of Hawk::  CAG: Flight Lieutenant Hawk.  You have managed to damage shuttles.  You have managed to damage my ship.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Sits back...she's rather going to enjoy this::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Nods:: CO:  Roger that, ma'am.  It's what I do.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Grins at Hawk's answer.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Takes a long deep breath::  CAG: You continually loiter on my bridge.  Flirt with those in sickbay.  ::Gives small wink::  From what I've heard dance somewhat provocatively in any part of the ship you see fit.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Turns a bit red at that one::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Smiles amusedly as he turns just slightly to observe T'Shara after she says these things -- apparently, he hasn't got his ear to the right rumor mill (or any rumor mill at all)::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Lifts a brow, making a mental note to bring that up later.::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Blinks and raises both eyebrows, but resists the urge to glance over::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Smiles knowingly::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: And with all your free time taken on all those efforts you still manage to command one of the highest rated squadron groups in Starfighter command.  So....
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Taking another long pause::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Smiles with pride at the fighter groups::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: It is my pleasure and honor to promote you to the Starfighter rank of Captain.  ::Takes off his single bar and place the double bar on his collar::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Extends her hand to Hawk::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Shakes the CO's hand::  CO:  Thank you, Captain.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Smiles and applauds, proud... not that she would tell him.::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Smiles and claps.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Extends his hand in turn::  CAG:  Congratulations, Mister Hawk.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Keep up the outstanding work Captain Hawk.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
XO:  Thank you, sir.  And to you as well!  Well deserved.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Claps quietly::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Will do, ma'am.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Walks over in front of the Counselor::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Leans forward a bit::
Gladwyn says:
::Once the clamping had started, she had flown higher and closer to watch.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CNS: Counselor Foster, you've managed to keep our crew firmly planted in reality or at least so your reports show.  I'm not here to question the validity of those reports but please continue to send them to our new executive officer.  ::Glances slightly at Damrok and then back to Foster::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CNS: You've seen us at our best and our worst.  You've helped the crew through the deaths of a first officer and through his surprising return.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CNS: And when you’re not challenged by the mental state of our crew you fill your time doing a remarkable impression of a chief engineering officer.  You have become a valuable member of this crew and it gives me great pleasure to promote you to the rank of full Lieutenant.  ::Removes the black pip from his collar and adds a second gold pip::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Extends her hand to Foster::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Takes the offered hand smiling.::  CO:  Thank you captain.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods and stands off to the side, letting Damrok take the lead::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Offers his hand as well::  CNS:  Congratulations, and well-deserved, Counselor.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Applauds::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Applauds quietly::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Claps for Lieutenant Foster.::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Takes the XOs hand as well.::  XO: Thank you sir.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Walks in front of Lieutenant Kytides::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
TO: I lack the words to deal with you Mr. Kytides so I will turn you over to your former department head and your new XO.  ::Takes a step back:: XO: Commander Damrok he's all yours.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Leans over and whispers::  CNS:  Congrats, Theron
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
TO:  Mister Kytides.  ::Steps to him, looking at him with a critical eye for a moment::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Actually literally rubs her hands together, although her expression isn't clear whether its in anticipation or anxiety::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Leans back, whispering.::  CAG:  You too, Captain Sky, or is it Sky Captain?
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Suppresses a groan...  barely and turns back to watch Kytides::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Blinks, having prepared himself after Hawk's ribbing and with the time gained by being last, but not anticipating this::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Chuckles at Hawk then turns back to the XO and Kytides.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
TO:  Although I know things have not been easy since your return to Starfleet, you have served admirably, and done all that I have asked of you.  I can think of no one else that knows the workings of the Claymore's tactical department, or the ship's tactical capabilities, better than you do, and I will entrust her care to no one else.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
TO:  It is with this in mind that I hereby promote you to the rank of full Lieutenant with all rights and privileges thereto, and duly imbued with that rank, I hope you will continue to serve for some time to come as the chief tactical officer of the USS Claymore.
