Nick: Admiral Jade... I have all the respect in the world for you... i say this with no offense meant towards you but.... Holy Hell this is screwed up... I have over a thousand years in that field and not even i would want that job...
"We have no tomorrow, but there's still hope for the future. In our struggle to survive the present, we push the future farther away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not. Which means there's no time to waste. Someday the world will no longer need us. No need for the gun, or the hand to pull the trigger." -Punished Snake
Raneson: Don't worry, you'll have a cadre of Officers with the rank of SMCOMM - that's short for Senior Marshall Commander, one of the planned ranks of the army - helping you with decisions. Hey, somebody get the broadcast on, they're about to announce!
Nick: Gods help me..... I think my stress level is raising...

Krystal: What part of "I'm not qualified" isn't getting through? I don't want a desk! I get this, I'm gonna lose my ship!
I know starship tactics, and can handle small unit tactics. I don't know large scale battalion anything. I don't want to be a glorified paper pusher!
Raneson: Then who would you suggest? Command can't just promote someone to that post and be done with it. And you're not going to lose your ship, they're not giving you a desk job. There's a bunch of SMCOMMs that will help with the large stuff. *looks at the Comm station people* Where is that bloody broadcast?
Nick: Isn't that what they're essentially doing with admiral jade though... promoting her without even telling her she was being considered... it seems like that's exactly what they're doing...

Krystal: Admiral Cartwright. I've worked with him in the past. He is much more experienced in tactics, and has a level head.
Raneson: I know, it's ridiculous, but they have no one else to choose out of the available FAs, and there's not enough FAs roaming around. She's the only one they could choose and the other candidate is about to retire... I hate this as much as the rest of you, but decisions are decisions. And Cartwright is the one retiring, FYI.

Raneson: Idk, someone spread scuttlebutt about it after hearing from some aide of his. I didn't even get a notification, which means it was sent to the President instead.

Krystal: I don't believe it either as he's still acting as Chief of Operations in... another region.
Nick: I need a drink.... something stronger than rice whisky... maybe some cigars too.... but that wouldn't even begin to de-stress me...

Raneson: Chief of Operations? I'm head of Operations and I've got several chiefs in different regions under me. Cartwright being one of them. He should've informed me first if he's really retiring.

(Again that would be news to Rose. Cartwright is her Admiral we interact with sometimes)
Nick: Well.... *Eyes the replicator* I need it, i really need it... *Replicates another bottle of rice whisky and starts chugging it*

RAdm Rose: Might be, but he might also be travelling around keeping the Grand Allaince. Krogans and Klingons, Asari and Orions, Federation and System Allaince, all playing together. He still trying to get the Lycans and Salarians to talk, but
Ancient Griffon insult
That one is so stupid, he lost a Rock/Paper/Scissors game to a Pony.
RAdm Rose: He is doing his job, so call up the USS Varyag, He is never far from that ship. After all, she is his flagship. (Krys can tell RAdm Rose was about to bite Raneson head off, but realized she had more important things to worry about.

Krystal: Will do. Anyways... we got shot up out here. Some structual damage, and we're limited to Warp 4 until we do something about the Coils. I... I don't know how long I'm gonna be out here. I'll try to get back as soon as possible.
Raneson: Andromeda?!?! I wasn't informed that one of my Chiefs of Operations established a Starfleet presence there... *Sigh*

Krystal: Sounds like you're not getting a lot of memos. I've actually been out there twice. Both times had to deal with a Galactic level threat. And they're still out there somewhere between galaxies.

Raneson: Perhaps we should hail him to confirm? We can check the broadcast and vote results later.
(EDIT: Since Tala was in earshot of Raneson calling Jade 'Krys' shouldn't she be wondering why Raneson called her that?)
