*walkes over to Admiral Vorak*

"Goodday Admiral Vorak, good to see you. I've brought Mr Manfred with me. He is a CI Operative and is here to inspect everything for Mr Winterspoon's arrival"

*While Tomas was promoted Admiral Montrell and CI Operative Manfred walked in*

"I see the promotion has already been given"

*The admiral walks over to Tomas and shakes his hand*

                 "Congratulations Tomas"

*Whispers to Nocturnus*

"You can stand up now, she's gone she won't throw any objects to you http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>"

                 =A= Montrell out =A=

*Whispers to Nocturnus*

    "What did he get to drink, huh...or does he
      always exaggerate this much:P"

OFF: Don't worry it's ok...and just go with Nocturnus http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>..cause the funeral is already over http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

*Montrell enters Celtic Corner and takes a good look at all the officers that were present. He was looking for the Evolution Crew who were celebrating their time-off. Suddenly he saw Captain Sanchez raising his glass, Montrell walked towards him*

*Cough*

"Captain Sanchez, may I have some minutes. I would like to adress the whole crew from the USS Evolution that were present during the battle against the Borg, I guess that they are all here?"

                  =A= Montrell to Ms Mirez =A=
"Miss Mirez, could you prepare food and drinks for the gathering after the funeral? It doesn't have to be very extensive, just some snacks and a drink. "

Montrell spoke over the comm

"He can be found in the brig, Captain Sanchez"

               

*Admiral Montrell stands in a corner of Celtic Corner and watches, how the security personel take Lt Commander Taurik to the Brig*

"A black day for Station Avalon, it is"

"Hold on I am not finished here http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>. I still have eight boxes to reach out. Commander Taurik, Lt Commander Bryan Hannah,Lt Commander Keilah,  Lt Commander Daniel Reeves, Lt Commander Zephram Lagos, Lieutenant Dalon, Lieutenant JG Yugiman and Lieutenant Chrisitine Woods. I all congratulate you with the Starfleet Cross, and as I said before you all have shown your courage in battle and other difficult circumstances."

*Montrell looks at the Lieutenant who is holding all the boxes*

"Lieutenant would you please hand out the other boxes to the right person"

Lieutenant: "Yes sir"

*The Lieutenant handed out all eight remaining boxes*

"So what did I hear about a contest?http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>"

OFF: All officers who have received the Starfleet Cross can add this to their signature http://www.expansionfleet.com/starfleet/medals/starfleetcross.gif" target="_blank">http://www.expansionfleet.com/starfleet/medals/starfleetcross.gif

"Captain Sanchez, there is nothing to worry about. There are some things that need to be discussed between Mr Taurik and the Command of Station Avalon...if you wish to join the lt Commander and listen to the charges you can join us"

"Ofcourse, it's time to drink a nice glass of beer"

*The admiral turns to Taurik*

"Are you leaving already Commander, I would appreciate it if you would stay for a while, atleast drink with us once more http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>"

*At that same moment a Lieutenant approaches Admiral Montrell and whispers something in Montrell's ear*

"Well, it seems I have to leave personally. I need to get back to my duties, several preperations need to be arranged for the funeral of Admiral T'Hain. I wish you all the luck and hope to see you again soon http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>"

*Montrell leaves Celtic Corner and heads for Admiral Vorak*

"No no, there is no emergency...feel free to empty your drinks and listen to my announcement http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>"

*Montrell takes a seat at the table and tries to get the attention of the whole Evolution crew*

"Officers, may I have your attention please. I have read and listen to all reports on the Borg attack on Dantor and your presence at that battle. It is, that battle, that made my earlier thoughts to become reality. The whole Evolution crew has shown courage and valour to their duties and therefor I am...."

*A lieutenant comes towards the table with several wooden boxes. Montrell takes one box and turns to Captain Sanchez*

"Captain, I am proud to have you as an officer of Starfleet on this base. As I am proud to have the whole crew of the Evolution on the station http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>...and I want to express my proudness by giving you the Starfleet Cross for valour and courage in active operations against an enemy"

*Montrell hands over the woodenbox where the Starfleet Cross can be seen blinking*

*Montrell stands up and grabs a new woodenbox*

"So were is Commander Brooks"

*walks out of CC*
"Sorry for the delay Mr Manfred but I saw an old friend http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>. I was informed that the preparation of your boss' arrival is under way. If you would follow me"

*The admiral pointed to the end of the hallway*
