A few short minutes later, Lieutenant Driscoll called out to Ledoux,
"The Admiral will see you now, Lieutenant." The imposing double doors
opened on que, and the doctor got up, walking in. She covered the
distance from door to Jokinen's desk, then coming to attention.
"Lieutenant Catherine Ledoux, reporting for assignment."
"At ease, Lieutenant," Jokinen grunted. "Have a seat," he continued,
pointing at the chair. Ledoux sat down, and handed over the PADD that
contained her jacket.
Taking the device, Jokinen leaned back and looked over a few entries.
He then downloaded Ledoux's new orders, and put the PADD on the desk.
"You look thin, Lieutenant. Are you well?" The words were concerned,
but the voice didn't reflect the emotion.
"Yes, sir," Ledoux simply answered, and Jokinen nodded.
"Very well. There is one little duty to perform before I can give you
your new assignment, Lieutenant," Jokinen said, rising from his chair.
"Something that is perhaps slightly overdue," he continued, coming
around the desk and producing a small black jewelry box from his hand.
He came to stop in front of Ledoux, who had also stood up.
Jokinen opened the box, and took out a hollow golden pip. "I hereby
promote you to the rank of Lieutenant Commander, with all the duties
and privileges thereof. Congratulations, Commander," he said, attaching
the new pip to Ledoux's collar.
"Thank you, sir," she said as Jokinen took a step back, and they shook
hands. He then took the PADD from the desk behind his back, and handed
it to the newly promoted officer.
"Your new assignment is on the USS CHESAPEAKE, a brand new Hood class
vessel. You'll be her CMO. The CO is Captain Amanda Bell, and the rest
of the information you'll need is in the PADD. The ship is in main
docking bay, proceed there to report to your post. Welcome to GREEN
Fleet, and good luck, Commander. Dismissed."

Chris: I hope I didn't butcher your character too badly...  In any
case, you may proceed to the ship herself.
