Brooks smiled at his FO as she said,
"I put them in here to remind you about how much of a difference you have made, and how much of a difference. You are one of the best Captains I served with."
Beno then added, "Fourty to humans is a very big deal, and you might have noticed the forty flamingos on the way here." She let a bit of a laugh out. *Plus I am not sure what it means to be subtle, maybe when I turn old. Velaul turns four hundred soon." She said with a wink.
Dan laughed, "At least it makes my forty not seem quite as old. However, it does feel odd to say the least."
The Captain was then distracted by the new Midshipman, . "Captain, Commander." He greeted with a friendly greeting. "Captain a little gift from the Coppola Family." He handed Brooks the small black box with a ribbon around it.
"Thank you." said Brooks with a smile and opened it, "Very interesting Coppola. Thank you."
"Commander lovely dress for the evening, I look forward to the party."
Joining the small group that formed Carley had a nice smile. "Happy Birthday Captain, this is going to be an excellent evening. Cologero would you be my escort?"
"Thank you Young." Brooks replied as his eyes briefly looked over at the Midshipman to see how he would cope with being put on the spot in front of his superior officers but was distracted by Commander Talion and his lovely looking woman friend.
"Hello, I'm very pleased to finally meet you both in such a...personal way. Captain, congratulations and happy birthday! A new prize command as well as a milestone celebration. You're going to have quite a job trying to duplicate such an event in the near future, but I'm ever so glad to share it with you in the moment."
Cindy had actually hit the nail on the head, he would never experience getting a ship and a milestone birthday at the same time again.
Turning to Beno, the grin turned a bit more playful as she continued, "Pleased to meet you. I'm Cindy Talion, Alex's Synthetic Intelligent Assistant." She quickly looked Beno up and down, "Nice dress! The nails add a great touch."
Alex then added, "Captain, may you enjoy many more wonderful celebrations as this, for many years to come." He smiled and considered his next words carefully, "Let it never be said that I was not flexible in my ability to meet the desires and expectations of my commanding officers.
Dan grinned, "Thank you Commander. I very much hope for many celebrations to come and as for your flexible and ability, from your record I'm sure that will never become a problem."
Jez approached the group, “Hello Captain, Commander Talion, Cindy, Kalli Good to see you again.” Jez then handed The Captain his Birthday present, “Happy Birthday, Captain.” Announced Jez as she gave him his present. “I hope you like it and I hope you don’t have one..” Said Jez.
"Thank you...Mala." he said taking the present and opening it while Jez chatted and introduced herself to the new Midshipman.
"It is absolutely perfect, I will look forward to having a tea and reading through this." he said to Jez before placing it along side the other presents that were on the table.
For a moment he felt a little overwhelmed by it all, especially having the new crew coming up with presents and congratulating him being forty. The first time in years he felt like he wanted to run away and hide but Dan knew in his heart that would be an awful thing to do, maybe it was knowing another decade had gone by. On the other hand he was now a Captain of the Ross Class with an amazing crew under him that he was itching to get on a mission with and watch their talents flow and grow.
Turning to Beno he said, "Right. I think I could do with a drink."
