Listening to her answer K'Vada had a lot of good points, then the question came back to him. Cologero knew going into it was a pretty hard question fully expecting it in return. "I think a saber class would be nice, I would want a ship that can pack a real punch, not for offensive purposes but for defensive purposes. I like the idea of rescue missions to go in to a dangerous situation, and extract those we are there to rescue. The purpose wouldn't be to die a hero, but to preserve life." He stopped talking for a minute to listen to what the Captain had to say.
"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. Cologero wasn't expecting to hear his name called for this. "I am sorry but I must go for a second."
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."
Cologero felt extremely honored by this, he knew that one day he would get this promotion but sometime more into the future. "Thank you Captain, I will continue to do my best to uphold our principals." There was a part of him picturing his Nono in the audience, he was a great Navy man that Cologero wanted to be like. He had a lot of pride being a Lieutenant, one of many steps to being a Commanding Officer. In the meantime he was going to learn from experiences that come his way, people around him while enjoying every minute of it. There were going to be a lot of down and hardship along the way, to endure these hardships all come with the life he chose.
