==FO Quarters==
With Samantha's assistance Keir had managed to squeeze into hir new Command dress uniform. It wasn't that it did not fit but every button and clasp was engaged for the very first time and try as s/he might to deny it; there was a substantial amount of unexpected stress attached to the entire event.
This would be the first time that Keir had attended any shipboard event or ceremony as a Command level officer and the proverbial butterflies were the size of eagles and flying acrobatically in her stomach. But finally, all seemed well and with a peck on the cheek from Samantha s/he headed for the mess.
==Crew Mess--
Entering; Keir noted that Cdr Ameen and Lt Ra'an were speaking with each other and the CMO on her way to the Bar. That would have been hir first choice but protocol required that the FO should greet the Captain first at such gatherings and as s/he got closer Keir allowed a genuine smile to warm hir face.
"Greetings Commander, someone should work out a way to make dress uniforms more comfortable, unless that IS intentional."
Pausing to scan the room s/he gave a nod of respect to Amila adding "It looks like you and your team pulled off a small miracle. The setting looks amazing. Congratulations Lieutenant Ra'an to you and your team as well. I can hardly recognize the room." S/he added with a genuine smile.
Looking around hir gaze returned to the two officers, "So has our guest of honour ghosted us?"
