Alex headed to the Graduation Hall and made sure it was decorated as needed. She wasn't sure how many would show for this, but did her best to have it ready on time.
A little later Alex returned to the Hall in her dress uniform. She noticed a lot of people had shown up, and she smiled mingling for a little while. She wanted to make sure everyone who needed to be present was around.
Alex stepped up to the podium, and waited for everyone to take their seats.
"Welcome to all, we are here for the commencement of one thing and the beginning of another. If Cadet Youngblood would come forward," she said and waited until he was standing beside her.
"You have graduated the Academy, and are now part of the Fleet. Congrats, Lieutenant Junior Grade Youngblood," she said and stepped down letting him speak.
(Youngblood)
Once he was done, the captain stepped up saying a few words, then all were dismissed to mingle and enjoy themselves.
Alex walked over to say something to Captain Edwards. "Thanks for letting me direct this one. That was some mission," she said hoping he would smile. She knew he didn't like having his "wife" around.

K'ratak: Wore his star fleet dress uniform it made him itch and he didn't like it at all. He entered the hall and took a seat in time to watch LT GJ Youngblood graduate. Smiling at the cadet think he had earned that rank and would go far.
He noticed Nikmud she looked good in her dress uniform trying to stop himself from looking he walked over to youngblood to shake his hand.
" Good luck in the future Lt what ever ship gets you will be lucky" offering his hand for the new Lt to shake.

Polly lingered at the back of the room, trying to stay as invisible as possible. She was here only to congratulate Youngblood on his graduation and a job well done. If it hadn't been for his persistence she probably would never have come this far in becoming a good person. And she promised herself that she'd face whatever enquiry that would be thrown her way while she was here.
At least TJ had accepted her gift, and had finally started to trust whatever dinner she cooked him. She could understand his distrust and dislike, and wouldn't nor couldn't blame him. However she'd make the best of it while she was here. From where she was standing, she could see a bronze flying creature pop in out of nowhere near her husband, and for a moment she feared the creature would attack.
Nearby, Youngblood was talking to his instructors, and Polly rushed over, yanking his sleeve to get his attention, then pointing at the creature. "Is the captain safe?" she asked, staring wide-eyed at the winged creature. Then she noticed it landed on his shoulder and she sighed in relief. "Seems so," she added, blushing ever so slightly. "I'm sorry for disrupting your conversation."
Then she smiled at the newly graduated officer and she gave him an unexpected but quick hug. "Congratulations," she offered, as she released him, then went to see TJ for a quick chat. She'd depart Conqueror in a few hours and she wanted to have a chat with him before she departed.

Draco suddenly reappeared in front of Jordan and made her jump.
Jordan: Ya know better than to do that Draco.
He seemed really excited about something and she ignored him until he nipped her. She then paid attention and got the image of TJ and a Hepta graduation. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly put herself together. She debated about putting on her dress uniform then decided against it for the time being. She put on a gray long-sleeved t-shirt, dark pants, heeled boots, and a black jacket over it. She then brushed her hair and grabbing the gift for TJ, she put it in her pocket and raced off to the graduation. She got there a short time later, slightly out of breath. She was glad she had stayed in shape otherwise she'd be on the floor panting right then, and she didn't think that would go over well with some people. She looked around and didn't see TJ right away. She took a step back to get a better look around the room and accidentally ran into a young, blond girl.
Jordan: I'm sorry. It's my fault for runnin' into ya. Was just tryin' to get a better view of the room.
Draco then chirped in her ear and pointed with his nose. Jordan looked in the direction he was pointing and saw TJ standing with another officer in dress uniform. She hoped TJ wouldn't scold her for being out of uniform and carefully made her way over to him, occasionally avoiding the higher-ranking officers she didn't know but who might know her. She finally got over to him and saw he was distracted so decided to strike up a conversation with the female officer standing nearby. She felt a quite tall and would have been taller than the officer, even if she had been wearing normal shoes. She estimated the blonde to be around 5'1", which meant a height difference of 9 inches when flat-footed.
Jordan: From what I can tell, the crew came out of the last mission with little to no injury this time.

Alex shook her head, and was about to say something. She found the captain beat her to it, and several laughed. She wondered if she was making a face at that, and shrugged it off. ~If he needs to get a good joke in like that, then okay. Part of my job I guess.~ She thought, and noticed a very tall woman walk up. Suddenly Alex felt like a Brownie, and wished the lady would move off. Instead of leaving she spoke.
"Oh you have no idea what kinda injuries we came out with. I had to go to sickbay already, and I believe the captain was there too. Besides that's just the physical injuries," she said and knew the captain could hear her.
"I am Commander Alex Nikmud. Who might you be?" She said hoping to make friends with the giant, not wishing someone able to pick her up as an enemy.

Jordan smiled.
Jordan: TJ going to sickbay only once is a record I believe. He's been in there quite a few times more when I've been around. I'm Jordan Mackler and this...
Looks around then frowns.
Jordan: Where'd he go?
There's a squeak behind her and she spins. Draco then comes and sits on her shoulder. He nuzzles her cheek.
Jordan: Commander, this is Draco. He's a firelizard.
Draco chirped in greeting then started to fly off but she grabbed his tail and pulled him back, telling him, No eating the appetizers.[/color] Draco pouted then sat back down on her shoulder.

On:
< In the Cadet’s Quarters >
Cadet Youngblood was in his quarters asleep which he much needed, the computer woke the cadet up at the time he requested. “Computer,” what is the day and time? Hmmm, I must have been really tired to sleep almost 30 hours. The cadet did his normal routine and went over to the replicator “Tea El Gray Hot and a blueberry Danish.” The cadet sat down at the table and drank his tea and ate his Danish. The cadet then dressed in to his dress uniform and headed out of his quarters.
< Graduation Hall >
It was about time for the cadet to head over to the graduation hall. The cadet entered the great hall and stood near the back of the room. The cadet was listening to the proceedings And heard his name called. The cadet made his way up to the front of the great hall. He went up to the podium and stood next to Alex Nikmud the first officer. As she spoke, ” You have graduated the Academy, and are now part of the Fleet. Congrats, Lieutenant Junior Grade Youngblood," and stepped aside and handed the microphone to the Lieutenant.
“Good Afternoon,” I’m one that is not very good at making speeches but I would like to say a few words to who I have served with on the Hepta. Captain it has been a very good experience to me serving with a finest Officer in Starfleet. Has for the crew even though I have not been with you a short time I’m sure that I would also find that you would have contribute your experiences to my abilities to be the finest officer in Starfleet. I also want to make a tribute to Commander K'ratak, He was the first klingon I ever met and his experience and bravery made me realize that his qualities should be in every Officer. Thanks again every one it is going to be hard getting use to being called Lieutenant.
As soon as the officer was finished with his speech Yahnie walked off the stage and greeted the Captain as he shook his hand and left the stage. As soon as the Captain finished speaking he dismissed everyone to mingle and enjoy.
The Lt. walked over and greeted Commander K'ratak. “Sir, it was a pleasure serving with you aboard the Hepta and I will never forget you. I hope our paths will cross again and I promise that I won’t be as nervous next time we meet.” "Good luck in the future Lt what ever ship gets you will be lucky" offering his hand for the new Lt to shake.
As the Lt. walked on ahead he saw that Polly lingered at the back of the room, trying to stay as invisible as possible. She was here only to congratulate Youngblood on his graduation and a job well done. If it hadn't been for his persistence she probably would never have come this far in becoming a good person. And she promised herself that she'd face whatever enquiry that would be thrown her way while she was here. The Lt. walked up to her and spoke to her Miss O’Shaserra but she ended up speaking to the Lt. first and Polly getting his attention, and then pointing at the creature. "Is the captain safe?" she asked, staring wide-eyed at the winged creature. Then she noticed it landed on his shoulder and she sighed in relief. "Seems so," she added, blushing ever so slightly. "I'm sorry for disrupting your conversation." I am glad that you interrupted me, even though things didn’t go quite well on the mission, I still wanted to congratulate you to your marriage with my Captain. I just wish it was on better circumstances. I am very happy to see you here. Then she smiled at the newly graduated officer and she gave him an unexpected but quick hug. "Congratulations," she offered, as she released him, then went to see TJ for a quick chat. She'd depart Conqueror in a few hours and she wanted to have a chat with him before she departed. Off:

As the former-cadet Youngblood, now a Lieutenant Junior Grade, finished his speech, TJ stepped up to him. He held something in his hand, but it was not quite visible to the new officer.
"Lieutenant Youngblood," he opened, "'tis fittin' that we do this. Once each mission we try t' honor those who have shown outstanding service t' Starfleet an' t' th' ships on which they've been assigned. An' tonight is no exception.
"For outstanding service t' th' crew o' th' USS Hepta – and t' me personally – 'tis me pleasure t' present ye with th' highest honor available from th' Academy." The Irishman pinned the medal – for such it was – to Youngblood's chest.
"'Tis th' proud owner ye are o' th' prestigious Academy Star of Excellence," he said with a smile. "Wear it proudly, me lad."
