Reception Part 1
As you enter the docking bay, every one is still getting into proper place and seem a little restless. You will notice Commodore Rardon is already here as well as Commander Cherok in his floating wheelchair. Commodore Rardon motions you over to them.
"I was just updated a few minutes ago, beyond Fleet Admiral Kiel, Admiral Mackenzie, Commander Shelby, and Admiral Sa'avik will be attending the ceremony. Admiral Mackenzie will be doing a special presentation before he officially transfers the Ascendant over to Admiral Kiel and the 12th Fleet."
"Admiral Sa'avik will also be accompaning us to Starbase 39-Sierra. She will be giving us Intelligence briefings on the situation with the Gorn with everything that Starfleet Intelligence currently knows. Lt. Commander Hale, please make sure that Admiral Sa'avik has the proper escort for her stay with us.", the Commodore says, while anxiously looking over her shoulder. "From here, we will take the proceedings upstairs to Formal Reception Room on Deck 3."
Carsi's voice rings out over the intercom systems, "One minute until the Admiral's arrival."
"Places, everybody.", comes the command from Commander Cherok.
People start lining up and making a review line, with Commodore Rardon the first person in position when the dignitaries step off of the shuttle. Then comes Commander Cherok, Lt. Commander Hale, Lt. Winters, Lt. Crescent, Lt. Kevas, Lt. D'Vassa, Lt. Martinez, and then Ensign Benson. Petty Officer Bridger stands across from her as well as Carsi.
A few seconds later, the shuttle can be seen through the magnetic field. The pilot brings it in nice and carefully, lining up with precision to the reception line. As the shuttle craft doors open, a shrill piping can be heard, which most of you immediately recognizes as the standard tones for piping dignitaries aboard. With the sounding of the tones, the entire reception party immediately comes to attention.
"Fleet Admiral Elisa Kiel, Commander of the 12th Fleet", PO Bridger announces as she steps off of the shuttle craft. Admiral Kiel walks up to Commodore Rardon and shakes her hand, while talking very low.
"Admiral Scott Mackenzie, Commander of the Utopia Planitia Staryards.", PO Bridger announces as he steps off of the shuttle craft. As you look at him, he looks quite a bit older than Admiral Kiel, probably in his early seventies. He has lost most of his hair on top, but still has quite a bit of white hair on the sides, and coming down for a beard and moustache.
"Commander Elizabeth Shelby, Attache of Admiral Mackenzie.", PO Bridger announces as she steps off of the shuttle craft. Over her back is slung a rather elegant looking sword with a silver hilt, jeweled in a clear gem that could be diamonds. In her hands, she holds a bag, that looks like it holds something about a foot tall, and protrudes at weird angles, making people wonder what it is.
"Admiral Sa'avik, Commander of Starfleet Intelligence.", PO Bridger announces as she steps off of the shuttle craft. Her slightly pointed ears definetly tell of her vulcan heritage, but beyond that you would say that she didn't look over the age of a human woman in her fifties.
After Admiral Sa'avik disembarks off of the shuttle, the Commodore and the Admirals gather in a small circle and exchange pleasantries. They will then start down the reception line, slowly moving and saying a few words to each of the officers.
"This is Commander Cherok, my First Officer and Executive Officer for right now.", just as she finishes saying that, Admiral Kiel salutes the Commander.
"It is my privelege to honor a recipient of the Star of the Federation for his heroism.", Admiral Kiel says as she brings down the salute, and then shakes his hand. "How have you been Dara? I am glad your out of Starfleet Medical now."
"Fine, Admiral. It has been a while. Just before Wolf 359, if I remember right.", Cherok says in his rasping voice.
"We can catch up later, Dara. It is nice to see you up and around.", Admiral Kiel says as the Commodore brings her over to Lt. Commander Hale.
"This is Lt. Commander Hale, my Chief Tactical and Security Officer.", the Commodore says, as the Admiral salutes again.
"As it was for Commander Cherok, I honor you Lt. Commander Hale as a recipient of the Starfleet Medal of Honor for your heroism.", she says as she brings down her salute. "Tell me Kris, is your entire crew survivors of Wolf 359?" The Admiral extends her hand to be shaken.
"Not everyone, Admiral, but I do have a few.", she says slightly jokingly.
GM's Note: I will stop as each person is introduced and wait for a day or two before proceeding down the line, on the off chance they would like to say something to Admiral Kiel. If you dont want to say anything send me a PM and I will go ahead and continue quicker.
Also, on each of your formal dress uniforms, most of you have the various medal and award ribbons that your characters have been awarded on them. That is how the Admiral knew about Jonas' Starfleet Medal of Honor.

Hale lowers his own salute, and grasps the Admiral's hand in a firm shake, smiling as he does so. "Thank you, Admiral. It is an honor to meet you."

"Thank you, Lt. Commander. I hope to have time to talk with you on our trip.", she says while flashing a quick smile.
"This is Lt. Winters, our Chief Engineering Officer. I don't know if you remember him Lis, but he was on the Roosevelt before she was destroyed.", the Commodore states as she puts her hand on your shoulder.
"Lt., I have had very good things about you. Scott was telling me how much he will miss you at the shipyards.", the Admiral says as she extends her hand to you.
"Very much so, I was hoping Steven would reconsider and stay with me at the shipyards.", Admiral Mackenzie states, as he shows his quick grin.

Lieutenant Winters visibly blushes at the comments made by the Admirals. He hadn't expected them to stop and talk with the officers, and so when he first spoke, a small stammer came from his mouth instead of coherent words. "Thank you, Sir," he manages to Admiral Kiel. "I loved working at the shipyards and with Admiral Mackenzie," he flashes a small smile to the older man, "But the Ascendant is my home now. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else."

As you say that the Ascendant is your home now, you will see that the Commodore flashes you a quick smile.
"If it doesn't work out Steven, make sure you come see me and I will put you back to work into the shipyards.", states Admiral MacKenzie as he shakes your hand.
"This is our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Crescent. He was just at the Academy teaching the cadets Exobiology. I met him there as a member of the faculty and asked him personally to come along on this cruise.", says Commodore Rardon as she gives Raphael a quick smile.
"It is my honor and pleasure to meet you Dr. Crescent. Do you prefer Dr. or Lt?", the Admiral says as she extends her hand out to you.

"This is Lt. Thy'vren Kevas, our Chief Science Officer. He just came back to Starfleet after advanced studies at the Vulcan Science Academy.", the Commodore says proudly.
"Really. What was your chosen field of research, Lt. ?", the Admiral says as she sticks her hand out to greet you.
"Temporal Mechanics, sir.", the andorian replied as he shook her hand.
"Really, that is way beyond me. I am kind of wondering why you were not assigned to the Thucydides project?", she said inquiring.
"I send email back and forth between Dr. Foster, who is the project head, sir, with my recommendations.". Lt. Kevas replied.
"Thank you, Lt. It is a pleasure to meet you.", the admiral moved over to the next person.
"Thank you, Admiral.", Lt. Kevas replied.
GM's Note: I will try to put a couple more of the NPCs on tonight.

"This is our Chief Strategic Operations Officer, Lt. D'Vassa.", says the Commodore. Carefully watching out of the corner of your eye, you can catch the Admiral do a quick double take, with a confused look on her face.
"Lt. ?, I did not recieve your dossier. When were you assigned?", states Admiral Kiel, as she puts out her hand.
"Admiral Sa'avik suggested it, sir. She told me that I needed more time shipboard, especially after the last operation wrapped up.", stated the young orion officer, shaking the Admiral's hand.
"Yes, Eliza. I did suggest it. She has spent multiple years in undercover operations, so I arranged for her to take this position. It seemed only logical since she has not spent anytime on a shipboard cruise. ", stated the Vulcan Admiral, "I apologize for not consulting you first, but I did send her dossier to you a few days ago. But it was sent to 39-Sierra, since I did not know you were already here. "
"This is our Chief Operations Officer, Lt. Martinez.", stated the Commodore.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Lt." , stated the Admiral, as she shook his hand.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Senora.", stated Martinez.
"Muchas Gracias, Lt.", replied the Admiral.
This is our Chief Flight Officer, Ensign Benson.", stated the Commodore.
"Ensign, it is a pleasure to meet you. Are you the same one that was racing in the Capebela VII race earlier this year?"
