Daniel listened to the advice of the two senior officers and nodded,
"Yes, I will stay for a short while and as for you Commander Velaul, I think you forget that our paths have crossed briefly in the past when we were on shore leave many years ago. It seemed the crew you were with at the time came across.... how shall we say fairly wild?" he said with a small smile.
The conversation then turned to others as he was approached by Lieutenant Jelaya Al-Mazi.
"It's great to see you Captain; thank you for accepting me back into the crew." She paused very briefly before finishing with a wink for Beno and Alex: "It seems some of whom are getting Much closer." she added as a short giggle escaped her lips.
Daniel raised an eyebrow and wondered what he had actually missed in the time he was finishing off his reports.
"Nice to have you back Lieutenant. I'm sure you will get up to speed fairly quickly."
Brooks then said, "There is a bit of business that needs attending to in regards to a promotion as he spotted Ens Coppola."
Taking back to the centre of the room again Brooks said,
"Can I have everyones attention for a moment, Mr Coppola, could you please come and join me?" it was more of a command than an ask as he produced a little black box.
Opening the box Captain Brooks pulled out a hollow pip.
"By the authority vested in me as Captain of this vessel. It is my privilege to recognise your service, your dedication, and your unwavering commitment to this crew. You have consistently demonstrated the qualities we value most - integrity, courage, and the ability to rise to the challenge when it matters most."
Brooks then looked around for a moment before coming back to Ensign Coppola.
"Therefore, effective immediately... you are hereby promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade, with all the rights and privileges it holds."
Captain Brooks then fixed the new pip to Coppola's uniform and said, "Congratulations Lieutenant."
==Tag Coppola and everyone else.==
