After the meeting the captain retreated to his ready room. It wasn't that big, but it was enough. He left his first officer in charge. He looked at his desk and saw a padd laying there waiting for him. He picked it up and looked at it. He scratched his head a bit. "A cadet?"

According to the Padd, the Academy had send him a senior cadet to serve with him. It wasn't the right time, but he didn't want to send him away. And the cadet must be very good if the Academy send him to them.

He put the Padd down and then called, "Computer, what is the current location of Cadet Nohan?"

The computer tjirped. "Cadet Nohan is currently on the bridge."

Natan took a deep breath and tapped his badge, =/\= "Cadet Nohan, this is Commander O'Donnaghue, please report to my ready room." =/\=

"Cadet Nohan reporting as ordered, Captain. "

Natan looked at the cadet standing next to his desk. "Ah, cadet, thanks for meeting me. I have been trying to get a chief helms officer, but I have seen you at my helm and I have discussed it with starfleet command and the academy, and they wrote of on it. So I would like to give you a field promotion to ensign and chief helm of the valiant, do you accept? Keep in mind the academy have signed off your graduation and send it to me."

"Well. I'd be a fool not to accept. Begging your pardon, Captain. " Nohan said. "Its an honor to be asked even."

"Very good," Natan reached over to his desk drawer and pulled out a small box. "You'll be needing this." He opened up the box and took out the solid pip and then got up to pin this on his collar. "This is maybe the best thing of being a captain." He looked to him with a big smile. "Computer, please make a notation in the ship logs, I hereby give a field promotion to Cadet Ovo Nohan to the rank of Ensign with all it's right and privileges and with that, he is assigned the position of Chief Flight control officer." He then nodded to the new Ensign. "Well, Ensign, At the moment this ship is not flying, but you do have some duties to perform as the department head."

"I'll get right on them, Captain. That is, after I change uniforms." He said. "I am still wearing academy uniform after all."

"Of course, Ensign, don't let me keep you. You are dismissed." Natan said smiling as he returned to his chair.

"Yes Captain. " Nohan replied "
