Mission Summary - “Changes, Part I”
	The Huron is docked at Starbase 12, and much of the crew are enjoying some downtime on the base, or relaxing in their quarters. Suddenly, the Captain receives a message from Admiral Alexander, requesting the presence of all senior officers in the conference room... no one could have been prepared for the changes that were to occur in the next hour...
	The senior officers congregate in the conference room, where the captain was already speaking with the admiral, when everyone's attention was called. The admiral called up Capt. Knight to the front, and informed him that he would be removed from his command post, to the outrage of all present. She paused, and explained that in fact, he was being removed because she was promoting him to rear admiral, attached to Starbase 71, effective immediately... who has a few surprises of his own. First, he hands over the reins to the XO, and promotes him to the rank of captain... and, in acknowledgment of the crew's efforts, promotes the senior staff, before they depart for Risa.....

Host CO_Knight says:
Summary:  As the crew of the Huron continue in their repair and re-supply efforts, those available for relaxation take advantage of the SB amenities.  Reports indicate that all systems and repairs should be fully operational within a couple of hours.

Host CO_Knight says:
COM:  ADM:  Understood.  I assume I will get further details once there?

Host CO_Knight says:
*XO*:  Eric, please inform all senior officers to report to Conference Room 12b, Deck 8 on the SB.

Host XO_Woo says:
*CO*: Aye, captain, immediately.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@*XO*: Aye Sir, on my way.  ::Turns for the Turbo Lift and heads down to Deck 12.::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::Upon hearing the command, he slowly gets up and leaves::

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::groans and rolls over sitting up on the side of the bed::Cologne: Figures, just when you try and catch a nap...

Host XO_Woo says:
OPS: Well, looks like you'll have to stay a little while longer, you have the bridge.

FCO_Lt_Roznine says:
@::makes for the nearest turbolift and presses the button to summon one.::

Host CO_Knight says:
::stops by an office on the SB and picks up a box that he needed and continues on his way to the Conference room::

CMO_Harek says:
@::here's the commander calling the senior officers of the Huron. quickly downs the rest if his drink and finds the nearest turbolift::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Nice to meet you Ethan... Before it slips my minds, I was to say hello to you from Aaron. ::smiling::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Exits TL, then realizes it's on Deck 8, not Deck 12.  Re enters and heads to Deck 8.::

Host XO_Woo says:
::raps his fingers against the sides of the turbolift as it makes its way for the conference room::

FCO_Lt_Roznine says:
::exits the TL as it stops and walks the short distance to the conference room, enters and looks around for a place to sit::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  As your crew arrives, please have them take a seat.

Host CO_Knight says:
Adm:  Well, I'm sure you didn't come all this way to give me that message... especially from the little guy.  ::smiles::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::Is on the turbolift going towards the conference room of deck 8 of the Space Station.::

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::steps onto the starbase and heads for the turbolift and deck 8::

Host CO_Knight says:
Adm:  Of course.  But I'm curious as to what is going on?

Host XO_Woo says:
::hurries out of the TL heads quickly towards the conference room, where it appears that most everyone has already arrived:: All: Good evening, everyone. CO/ADM: Captain. Admiral. ::bows, and takes a seat::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  No, I am afraid not Ethan.  I have some bad news, I am afraid, but I will tell all of you at one time.

CMO_Harek says:
::steps of the turbolift and finds the conference room and steps in::

FCO_Lt_Roznine says:
::sits down near the front, looking around for Holly::

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: Did you manage to pick up some new and exciting literature this time? ::smiles::

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:

Host CO_Knight says:
::makes sure he keeps his senses in check....especially in front of the Admiral::  Adm:  That doesn't sound good.  ::places the box on the table in front of him::

FCO_Lt_Roznine says:
EO: Holly. Over here.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::Arriving at his destination, he gets out looks around the room and sits down as much away from the group that is unnoticeably allowed::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  If you crew is here, I would like to begin. ::keeping a tight rein on her thoughts::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Exits on the right deck this time and finds the conference room.  Finds a seat along the wall.::  XO: Yeah, a few good ones, and a really weird one.  Didn't even know Bynars played sports, but found a book "Parisees Squares for Bynars.::

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::spots Roz and waves before walking over to him::FCO: Hey Roz, any idea what's going on? ::sits beside him::

Host CO_Knight says:
::looks around the room::  Adm:  Yes, I believe everyone is present and accounted for.

FCO_Lt_Roznine says:
EO: Not the foggiest... I'm sure we'll soon find out though.

Host CO_Knight says:
::braces himself emotionally::

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::grabs Roz's arm nervously::

Host XO_Woo says:
::frowns slightly, and purses his lips::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  Due to the evaluation of your Captain, especially during this last mission, he is now relieved of duty as the Captain of the USS Huron.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::waits for the uproar::

FCO_Lt_Roznine says:
::pats Holly's hand as she grabs his arm, speechless::

Host CO_Knight says:
::looks around the room, and then hears what the Admiral just said::  Adm:  Huh?  But I don't understand.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::looks at Roz and then at the Captain::

Host CO_Knight says:
Adm:  What is SF thinking?!

Host XO_Woo says:
::his jaw drops, as the admiral gives her announcement, and is completely speechless:: Admiral: But - ::stops himself... waiting for an explanation::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Captain, front and center.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Biting tongue, hard, to keep from blurting out.::

FCO_Lt_Roznine says:
::sits stunned::

Host CO_Knight says:
::gets up and approaches the Admiral::

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
:;whispers to Roz::FCO: I bet it was those tight pants of yours that got him in trouble.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Captain, due to your previous record, and your performance on your last mission, it has been decided by Starfleet command ::pausing she looks at the crew::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::Just stares at the rest of crew, finding their expressions amusing::

Host CO_Knight says:
::gets his composure and stands at attention::

FCO_Lt_Roznine says:
::smiles weakly at Holly:: EO: I'll trade them all for shapeless things.

Host XO_Woo says:
::leans a little closer::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  That you are herewith promoted to Rear Admiral, and are now the Commanding Officer of Starbase 71. ::leaning over she takes off the Captain's pips and add the Admiral pips::  Congratulations Ethan! ::grinning from ear to ear::

CMO_Harek says:

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::stands and continues to applaud::

Host CO_Knight says:
Adm:  Um, I definitely felt that, so I can't be dreaming.  ::smiles from ear to ear::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  I would like to stay longer, but I have a trip I must complete.  ::she turns and leaves the podium, remembering when she was promoted to Admiral::
