After the Service, Jackson was again at his desk, a curse of being a Flag Officer. The memorial ritual was fresh on his mind. But this time, he had an important matter to discuss with his three best officers. He awaited their arrival.

It must be bad if Jackson had not said anything about her condition.. She stood but was wavering..

This must have been an utmost priority for 1Lt Cashion to show up in her present condition. Patrick did admire her tenacity.

Jackson's XO remained silent.

With all three of them standing in front of his desk, he remained seated, with his face behind a PADD. "Colonel, I know you are anxious to get back to work, and you other two are just as anxious to hit planet side, so I will try to make this quick. Since taking command of the Sheep Dogs Division, I have become quite a thorn in the side of the Marine Quartermasters, as well as Marine Command. There isn't a day that has gone by where they have not received from me at least a dozen requests for things that are needed for the operation of this division. Today, I received an actual answer to one of my urgent dispatches, and you three deserve to know what it is." A frown formed on Jackson's face. Casion looked like she was about to fall out, but not quite yet. "You three will stand at the position of Attention!"

She tried to listen, but she was fading and wouldn't be on her feet much less conscious very soon...

Jackson picked up his PADD,

"From Commanding General, Federation Marines:

Let it be known to all that the following Marines have exemplified the meaning of the words 'faithful service', and "leadership by example'. In recognition to these traits, as observed by their Commanding General, these Marines are awarded to following Advancement in their Ranks:

Lieutenant Colonel David Hurd Sr advanced to the Rank of full Colonel.

Captain Patrick McMichaels advanced to the Rank of Major.

First Lieutenant Deborah Casion advanced to the Rank of Captain.

Effective Immediately."

Jackson pulled three small silver boxes out of his antique oak desk, and walked in front of them, replacing their previous rank insignia with their new ones. "Just to let you know, I had these made for this very occasion. They are made from a lattinum laced gold or silver alloy, depending on the rank. I am very proud of you three."

'NO!!' Her final humiliation.. She had nothing left,, She didn't know if it were last moment in this universe.. She fell to the floor blackness taking her... A dark stain could be seen o under her top on her right hip...

The promotion was an awesome feeling. He smiled, saluted Jackson, saluted Hurd and as he turned to salute Casion; she screamed and collapsed. He went to her side and examined her. "She needs medical ASAP!" he said to Hurd and Jackson.

Jackson tapped on his Combadge =/\=Medical Emergency, Level 40, Suite 1!=/\=

=/\= Acknowledged.=/\= Shrivol said over his comm badge
