Lieutenant Marisa Marshall, your quick thinking and consistent demonstration of leadership ability has warranted your rise to the Mid Command. We look forward to seeing you continue to do so well at your new position, Lieutenant Commander.
Ensign Zeeroi Takann, we are impressed with your attentiveness to directions and positive attitude. Keep going and your promotion to Lieutenant will only be the next step of many.
Similar to another member of this truly patriotic family, Ensign Malachy Marshall is awarded the rank of Lieutenant.
Last one for today - Ensign Courtney Vargas is also granted the pay raise to Lieutenant. I'm sure the Fleet Admiral is proud to see you've been doing so well.
Keep in mind the new ship or weapons allowances for your ranks, ladies and gentlemen. I hear that Quartermaster Polstari has managed to get through enough paperwork to see a small spot of floor in his office - you'd best cover that up before he gets any ideas.
~ Vice Admiral Rohj Teerin.
"You see what your knowledge tells you you're seeing. ... how, what you think the universe is, and how you react to that in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes. And that is as true for the whole of society as that is for the individual. We all are what we know, today. What we knew yesterday, was different; and so were we."
- James Burke, The Day the Universe Changed (1985)
