Posted on Mon Sep 26th, 2016 @ 9:57am by Captain Elijah Michaels & Lieutenant Ishan Satele
Mission: Do Not Follow
Elijah had so much to deal with in regards to the Rescue Mission and the trip to the Gollum Expanse, he did have some good news though that he felt would lift the mood a little.
"Lieutenant Ishan Satele report to the Ready Room." He said pressing the Comm Channel
[Holodeck 1]
Down on the Holodeck, Satele was running a physical training program to keep her skills sharp and to test her reaction times. Hearing the Captain's call over the intercom, she quickly paused than ended the program.
Unsure if she had the time to change, she decided to head to the bridge in what she had on, a pair of tight fitting shorts, a short sleeve shirt and a pair of runners. The only bit she altered on her way was to tie her hair back in a ponytail.
[Ready Room]
After about 10 minutes, Satele arrived outside the ready room, whipped down her forehead one last time with a towel she had draped around her neck, than hit the door chime
"Enter!" Elijah shouted in response to the Chime
Stepping inside, Satele walked over to Elijah, "you wanted to see me Captain?"
"Yes come in, have a seat." He said with a smile.
Walking over to an empty chair, Satele sat down and waited for the Captian to explain why he had called her.
"I'm promoting you." He said to her simply, short and sweet and to the point.
"Sir?" Satele asked, a little surprised by this sudden news
"You're a full Lieutenant." He said to her
Satele was still surprised, "um, thank you sir. This is quite the surprise. It not that I don't appreciate it, but did they explain why I recieved the promotion? Starfleet doesn't just hand out promotions for nothing"
Elijah nodded. "I sent one following the mission to Nomad Station you worked hard and deserved it." He handed her a small box. "I brought you onboard because I felt you could give this crew something ,you have shown that faith.
"Um, I don't know what to say. Thanks" Satele said, taking the box from Elijah. "Wow, senior Lieutenant"
Elijah nodded. "Indeed, however it does come with a downside."
"Downside? Why do I get the feeling I'm not going to like this?"
"You are being transferred to the USS Illustrious, as their Chief Helmsman and Second Officer." Elijah said sliding her the PADD. "I can fight it if you want to stay on the Ship."
Satele was unsure what to say, "um, I'm not sure what to do. I've learnt a lot from my time here, but they must have a reason for the transfer. What would you recommend?"
Elijah shook his head. "I personally want you to stay with us, but they are offering you Command experience on an Intrepid Class Starship." He sighed. "Only you can decide."
Thinking it over for a moment, Satele nodded, "again, I appreciate all that you have done for me, but I don't see another opportunity like this coming my way soon. I think I'll take the transfer"
With a nod Elijah slid the small wooden box towards her. "On behalf of the Senior Staff of the USS Victory, I thank you for your time and service with us." He stood up and extended his hand to her. "You'll be missed very much."
Satele smiled, "oh don't worry, you'll forget about me within a week. I hope that your next chief helmsman is less of a pain in the neck" she said, taking the box, placing it under her arm and standing at attention, "It's been an honour serving with you Captian. I hope to meet you again in the future"
"There is always a place for you on this Ship." He said with a smile. "You are dismissed Lieutenant Satele."
