Captain's Log Stardate 2461298:
The battle is over and we are victorious against overwhelming odds, due in part to a fine crew, and outstanding station.
I am proud to say I show much pride in my crew, in their performance of their duties. I recommend them all for a decoration.
The USS Midway's repairs will be complete tomorrow morning, and the Sutherland will take another 3 days of repairs. The wounded have been sent into a make shift hospital in cargo bay 12. One of the wounded who seems as if he's not going to recover is Lieutenant Sovick. He grows worse every day according to Doctor Charrin.
It is with a sad note I report the destruction of the USS Arizona, and the loss of three bridge officers. Charges have been filed against Commander Kelly, by Petty Officer Woodrow Murphy, I must of course follow through with these charges.
The Gorliac people have left and started to liberate their home world, and news this morning informed me that they will have Liberated their planet with in three days. They have also sent in a potion to join the Federation, I must say that pleases me greatly.
I have attached a note to each of the bridge officers bodies to be sent to their families. I sure hope Commander Kelly can explain himself.
I am also pleased to say that the Son'a threat is no more, we have captured 12 Son'a and 23 Tarlak. They will be shipped to a Federation planet for trial.
End Captain Log.
Wallace sat in his chair and drank a sip of coffee, and then took a few seconds to reflect on the past few days. He took a deep breath and stood up, carrying several boxes, and left his Office for the Conference Lounge. The walk took only a few seconds. Captain Wallace walked in to a crowded conference room. Most of the Senior staff was their, they once saw Wallace come in they cheered.
Richard being a modest man gave a smile, and made a notion to be quite. He set the boxes down on a table, and cleared his throat.
"Thanks guys, and ladies. But the real credit goes to those who were out in the field. Like Banshee, Garek, and countless others and those in hospital.
Will Lieutenant Carter please step forward."Wallace said picking up one of his boxes.
Carter stepped forward, and had a look of confusion. And didn't know what this was about.
"Lieutenant Lee Carter for outstanding Conduct, and Valor. I herby promote you to the rank of Lieutenant Commander." Wallace pulled out a black pip, and pined it on her collar. Banshee Squadron members who were in the rear gave cheer. Carter gave a big grin, and blushed a little.
"Cadet Razek front and center!" Wallace said in a firm and scary voice. Razek walked forward, and stood at attention.
"You thought you were going to leave this place and me, and all these other fine officers." Wallace said looking in the Cadet's face.
Ethan was always scared by Wallace, had started to shake now, and was showing fear. He tried to reply but the reply came out jumbled.
"Huma Huma."
"I herby award you the rank and field commission of Ensign, and the position of Chief Operations officer." Wallace pulled off the cadet's rank pin and put a gold pip. Wallace gave a friendly smile, and then patted the young Ensign on the shoulder.
"Ok, that's it for now. I just want to say to all of you, what a great job. Dismissed, and lets get back to putting SB901 together again."
Richard then walked back to his office, and waited for the time for his Intelligence officer to walk in. Chief Anderson was in his office too recovered from his injury, and back on Duty.
