Editing Christopher Adams Training Days (section)

==== (Starfleet Academy - Outside Admiral Pavak Green's Office, Cadet Christopher Adams - 0945) ====

Chris found his way to Admiral Green's office and approached an ensign seated outside a set of double doors emblazed with Starfleet symbols.

"May I help you, Cadet?" the female ensign asked.

"Yes. Cadet Christopher Adams reporting to see Admiral Green," replied Chris.

"Hold on just a second," the ensign said as she pressed a button on her desk. "Admiral? Cadet Adams is here."

Pavak stood beside his desk until his doorchime sounded. This would be the cadet he was expecting. Moment’s before the cadet’s arrival, a message had been sent by their holodeck instructor advising Pavak that they had been successful.  While Pavak’s Vulcan features belied his dual heritage, he still felt the warm emotion of accomplishment. This was the part of the job Pavak loved the most.  Pavak quickly took his seat and looked at the door expectantly. He then watched as the door slid open and a slightly nervous and worried cadet entered handing Pavak a PADD.

Pavak took the PADD silently and reviewed it, leaving the cadet standing at attention. Finally, he motioned to the chair in front of his desk and allowed the cadet to be seated. Then, a wide grin broke out across his face.

“Congratulations, you have graduated from Starfleet Academy!” stated Pavak. This was the part of the job he definitely liked the most. “I wish I could give you some time to celebrate, but you’re needed for duty immediately on the USS Paladin due to your abilities as an Engineering Officer.”

Pavak withdrew a small box from his desk and put it in front of the cadet, contained within it was a single black pip. “You are hereby assigned to the USS Paladin, as Assistant Chief Engineering Officer with a commission as Ensign Junior Grade, report to Captain Eva Straton.”

With that, Pavak shook the cadet’s hand and then gave him the traditional Vulcan gesture while he watched the cadet take the new pip from the box and attach it directly to his collar. “You have a transport shuttle to catch Ensign, live long and prosper...and congratulations.”
