A change is in order

Mission: If I told you...
Location: Ready Room, USS Victory

Elijah sat behind his desk and examined his Screen. He had all the conformation orders and it was now in black and white. He now had more decisions to make.

"Commander Bartleet please report to my Ready Room." He said pressing the Comm.

"On my way." she replied, walking intently as she made her way from her office to the Captain's. She had wondered what the Captain wanted to discus with her, though in view of events the last while she suspected she had a general idea. Or she was fired. She chuckled a little at her own paranoia, and rang the chime.

"Come in." Elijah said as he sat watching the door.

"You wanted to see me, sir?" Michelle asked.

"Your Promotion came through." Elijah smiled with a grin on his face. "Commander Bartlett."

Michelle looked surprised... She'd worked a long time for that title. And the third solid pip. She gasped a bit in shock, and then grinned like a Cheshire Cat. "Thank you, sir. I'm... stunned." she added.

"Well Command were impressed with your actions over the last few months and they felt that you deserved to be rewarded." The Captain said as he placed a Gold Pip onto the Desk. "I know you turned down a potential Miranda Class Command for the opportunity to be my XO, I am grateful for that."

"Well I appreciate their confidence." she said, taking a look at the pip and picking it up. "And your sentiment. And.. congratulations to you as well. It looks good on you."

Elijah chuckled. "Thanks......Commander....." He smirked at his XO, pleased that the two of them were seeing eye to eye.

Now was time for them to discuss the real matters at hand......
