Timeline: 0830Hrs - December 21st 2391

Lieutenant Galiaan Fordring was presently doing paperwork for the Chief Medical Officer who was presently doing some lab work, working on a medical resolution to the Halanan situation.

She sighed softly as she was sitting in the chair she had customized for her own use, it was more massive simply because she herself was more than four times the size of her boss. Lt Commander Nalla Furban.

She held a PADD in her hand, her eyes read the information contained on the sheet of plaststeel, while she let out a soft sigh, her left hand gently tapped her combadge affixed to her chest over her left breast. "Fordring to Sokanon and Ashley, Could you step in here please?" she paused a moment. "Fordring to Unal, please come in here too please."

The responses were quick as the three women came into the room, Ashley was first and then in came the Caitian and lastly was the massive woman with dark skin. "You called for us Doctor?"

"Yes... I've been asked to supply two officers to become their own department heads on the USS Spirit of Winter and the USS Manticore... Ms. Unal, you are here for another reason so I'll get to you in a moment."

"Yessir," Ouros responded with a nod.

Sokanon settled in to listen in silence as Ashley regarded the massive woman before her.

"Alright... You two have served here extremely well. Sokanon, I've already stuck in my recommendations, Doctor Furban signed off on them as did the Commodore." Fordring paused a moment to allow that to sink in. "Now I have the responses back and I am able to give the good news... Sokanon. I am hereby promoting you to become your own boss on your own ship. You've been working with Renhai for the last little while... How's that going?"

"It's been going well," Sokanon responded. "She is not quite what I'm used to." the Caitian admitted.

"How so..?"

"She's very friendly, blunt and free with her opinions... I was expecting someone more... hostile.."

"Do you get along with her?" Fordring responded.

"Oh yes. Very much so." Sokanon smiled.

"Good. You will be taking over as Assistant Chief of Medical for the Spirit of Winter... and you Ms Ashley will be taking over as the new Chief of Counselor aboard the USS Manticore."

Ashley smiled. "Sounds fantastic. Thank you."

"Ms. Ashley, I am also promoting you to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade." she smiled as she opened a small black box before she handed it to the smaller woman with her left hand before shaking Ashley's hand with her right.

Sokanon smiled. "Thank you Galiaan... I've been an honor to serve with you."

"Likewise Sokanon. I know this hasn't been an easy assignment for you... But you did well and have earned a great deal of respect."

Sokanon nodded her almost delicate head. "Thank you." she responded with a smile "How long before we leave?"

"A week then you two are outta here... Any questions?"

Both women shook their heads. "Alright... Dismissed.." and with that she turned to Ouros. "Alright... You're turn."

Ouros blinked her large eyes but held her silence. "Sir?"

"You're test scores are through the roof. I assume you have no interest in command.?"

"No... None at this time sir."

"Fair enough, You have the makings of an excellent leader so... I'm going to send you to Warrant School. It'll be about three months and we can get your credentials sorted out." Fordring explained with a smile.

"Thank you sir... When do I leave?" she inquired.

"You leave tomorrow. So once you leave here, go pack and say your goodbyes to your kin. Your runabout will take you to Deneva where you'll be going to school, so we can deal with your issue."

"Yessir. I will handle things." Ouros responded softly.

"Just do well and when you come back, I can have you take over as one of my senior medical officers..."

Ouros nodded her head, she wasn't sure of what to say so she opted to say nothing.

Fordring saw this so she added. "You are clearly skilled in the medical arts... You did step in with that wrongful diagnosis last week and that burn victim two days ago... So. I'm going to help you get this matter dealt with... You will be able to earn a commission later but for now, I want to ensure you can wear the uniform with pride.."

"Thank you, sir... I appreciate that."

"Alright... On your way." and with that Ouros rose to her feet and departed the office in silence, no mess and no fuss as she marched out the door, leaving Fordring to get on with her paperwork.
