Greetings ladies and gentlemen, it's been a while since I've used this frequency but the time has come for me to dig it up out of my address book and announce some rank-shuffling. So without further ado, here is the list of changes that will be happening to the roster shortly:
- Dante Villers, you've been promoted from your previous rank of Lieutenant to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. With this, you may find yourself being promoted further to the Commander rank, should you be chosen by a Captain to perform as their assistant in their field of expertise.
- Gabriel Hawk, you have been promoted from your prior position as Junior Lieutenants to the Lieutenant rank. There weren't many suitable candidates for this elevation, so congratulations for making the grade.
- Armand Vintar, Lachlan Talmont, Gabriel Forge and Jorzza Clark, you've shown dedication and enthusiasm so far, but I hope that you would temper this with the skills necessary to lead in the future. This is your first step up the ladder, and I commend you for making it. You're now Junior Lieutenants.
- Seth Karlo, I'm personally very happy to see you back with us, and your progression through the ranks again is welcome though on the other hand, unfortunate that it had to happen again. As such, if you haven't been made an ensign before this, you are now. Welcome back.
On a less satisfying note, there are some demotions and removals that I also have to mention. They are as follows:
- Captain Robert Meechum has been placed in reserve with a minimum two rank demotion upon return. We had high hopes for your ideas in reconstructing our special operations task forces, but your prolonged absence has forced our hand on this matter.
- Jennifer Kelly, you have been placed in reserve as well, again due to prolonged absence. However, unlike the former Captain, you do not occupy a position of significant responsibility, so no demotion will happen upon your return.
- Roy Hollywood, James Flinte, Scott Williams and Clyde McDonald have all been removed from the roster. Large amounts of bureaucracy coupled with priorities elsewhere prevented this from occurring, but there should be no surprises here.
Additionally, Captain Catherine Raven, your position is under review. We are aware that your ability to perform your duty has been reduced to nil over the coming days due to circumstances beyond your control. However, the fulfillment of your responsibilities prior to that point were not what we would expect from a Captain. Upon your return, we expect to see good things from you, not least of which is the organisation of fighter training that the High Command has been receiving many requests for.
Captain Matt Smith, your position is also under review, for much the same reason as Captain Raven. We have not seen you fulfilling your logistical obligations and you have been all but invisible in the Liberty Navy, despite holding such a demanding rank. We expect this to change immediately and especially for you to take a more active role in recruitment and helping new recruits to find their feet.
