Ascendant. I am Commodore Rardon. I don't know all of you individually yet, but I guarantee you I will before long. That is not a threat.". There is an appreciative chuckle from some of the crew standing around, as the Commodore flashes a reassuring smile.  "The Ascendant is a small community, a family, if you will. I make it my business to know who everyone is. There may be times when my life and that of others depends on what you do. I know there will be times when all of your lives will depend on what I do. I want to have complete confidence in you, as I hope that you have in me. I believe that Starfleet has always attracted the best and the brightest. I trust that you will prove my belief is sound. Our first mission together will be one that most of you will consider tame, something fairly routine. However ...", and here the Commodore pauses for a second for dramatic effect.  "I can assure you that no mission is ever just routine. Everytime we go out we learn something. We blaze new trails into the unknown. But remember, space is not our ally. The Ascendant is. This is a fine ship, and I insist on a superior crew. I know you'll live up to my expectations. I look forward to meeting you all personally.", she said picking up her datapad, and reviewing the file.  "Before we progress to Starbase 39-Sierra, a few of the senior staff have mentioned that they would like to test the new systems a little better. To do this we are going to make a brief stop at Jupiter Station and use one of the firing ranges. I for one, would like to make sure every thing is fully operational before we actually need them. After that we rendevous with Starbase 39-Sierra and pick up the rest of our family there." "Then we are going into a dangerous situation near the Gorn border. The Discovery was attacked by three Gorn warships that crippled the Discovery and left her captain and most of her crew badly wounded. Starfleet is concerned about the Gorn, and from the reports I am reading rightly so." "Just do your jobs to the best of your abilities and I can ask no greater of you. For now though assume Battlestations for systems testing." "Mr Martinez end ship-wide broadcast.", she says as she taps Hale on his shoulder. "I relieve you Mr. Hale, take your station." "Ms. D'vassa, hail Jupiter Station please.", she says, as the Commodore sits down in the Command Chair. "Mr. Hale you did a fine job, congratulations on the first time for taking a ship out of spacedock."</blockquote>
