"You are the only department head that has come through with me from the Charon, unlike the others you know what you can expect from me and Commander Velaul." he said looking briefly at the FO before back at Hoekstra.
"In fact, I wouldn't want anyone else to run the Aquila's engine room as I have complete trust in you and your abilities." the Captain paused to let it sink in before opening one of the three little boxes left on the desk beside him.

He then picked up another box, "While we are on this brief subject of medals, here is also one for Lieutenant Thorn. This one is the Starfleet Achievement Medal and I thought you being her new boss you would like to award it to her for the hard work she did on the Geronimo's last mission."
