The following promotions are effective immediately:
Initiate Bellamy Crowe to the rank of Lieutenant, for keen initiative, swift response, and prowess in the field.
Lieutenant Roland Freud to the rank Commander, for unwavering dedication, initiative, and prowess in the field. Additionally, it is my artificial self's great pleasure to bestow upon your biological self the Distinguished Service Cross. As historically this accolade is accompanied by either a promotion which the Exarchy has already seen fit to grant or your biological self's own command, my artificial self suggests discussing potential command placements with Tectarch West.
The Excalibur, an Archer-class, will soon be undergoing repair and refit at Livadia Shipyard. Upon completion, your biological self may consider this historical vessel for a command post.
