Jade was in her office going over a few things she wanted to make sure the small ceremony went off without a hitch she then was happy with everything before she left her office she called in her yeoman, "Petty Officer Sierra can you gather everyone into the conference room." Jade asked the yeoman.
"Aye ma'am." She said pushing a button which allowed her to broadcast a message throughout the ODCC, "all operations personnel please report to the conference room. She then stood up and followed the Marine Captain through a door that led to the conference room from her office.
Once in the conference room Jade took her usual seat and the Petty Officer took the one to her right and the one to her left was reserved for Ian seeing as he was her right hand man. The operation department started to file into the conference room one by one most of the junior officers standing along the wall allowing the senior officers to sit down at the table. Once they were all present and accounted for Jade stood up.
"Thank you for coming everyone I just finished reading the CO's report on how all departments performed and also just finished Mr Vaughn's report on how this department preformed." Jade said taking a second to take a breath, "and I must say that I'm very impressed with each and everyone of you." Jade said stopping a moment to allow this to sink in and she gave around of applause.
"One more thing before you leave." Jade said knowing that there was still a lot of work to be done but she wanted to do this, "could Lt Vaughn please come up here." Jade said standing at the front of the conference room with Sierra at her side holding a solid black box and then a oak box, "Lt Vaughn Captain Rojac wanted me to do the honors first off we present you with the Preantares Ribbon it's awarded to you for the job well done of running the Operations department in my absence." Jade said taking the ribbon and pinning it on Ian and then allowing around of applause.
"Also we're promoting you to the rank of LtCmdr congratulations Cmdr." Jade said grinning as she added a solid black pip to his uniform, "you deserved this." She whispered in his ear when she shook his hand and patted him on his back.
"Thank you ma'am." Ian (NPC) said blushing a little bit, "if it's alright with you I would like to get back to work and get you caught up so you can run your department again." He said smiling. With that Jade dismissed everyone and they all headed out and congratulated Ian on the way out.
