"Command Meeting" written by: Commander Skyler, XO Stardate: 20308.02 Command Meeting notes: A staff meeting was held at 2200 hours on the USS Avalon. The meeting was to discuss several different issues. Present at the meeting were as follows: Amythyst Grey, Admiral, Captain Keith Ketchum, Cmdr Skyler, Lt. Karg White Feather, Ensign Jordan Ranger, Ensign Summer Khellian, Ensign Michael Bailey, and Dr. Felicity Roan. Missing from the meeting were Lt. Cmdr Sierra, Ensign Dodge Thomas, Dr. Tali Rashon, LtJg Snuffy. The meeting was started by Amythyst Grey and Lt Karg White Feather. The Admiral was present to assist with the presentation of the Excellence in Command Service Ribbon. The was presented to Captain Keith Ketchum for his outstanding work with the crew of the Avalon and his work on previous missions. The award was well deserved and long in coming. The Captain then took over the meeting. He proceeded to award Lt Karg with the Quill of Excalibur for the month of July and announced that his story arc based around his AWOL visit to DS9 was the Log of the month for the Avalon and also submitted as the log for the Muse award. The Commander then had the honor of promoting Lt Karg to the rank of Sr Lt with all the rights and privileges thereto. After that the Captain had Cmdr Skyler step forwarded and quote, " You know I hate to have to call you up for something but this time, I can't let it just slip by. You have shown great dedication to this crew and to me these past few months so I hearby award you the "Legion of Merit Ribbon" for your service to the Avalon." Needless to say the Cmdr was taken aback, as she was not expecting anything, especially nothing like this. Lt Cmdr Sierra was also awarded the Legion of Merit Ribbon in absentia. Other presentations were: Lt Cmdr Sierra was given another star to add to his Distinguished Service Award Ribbon (for writing), Ensign Dodge was promoted to LtJg and Chief Engineer. He was also presented with the Distinguished Service Award Ribbon, for having so many of his logs nominated for the Arrow of Camelot. LtJg Snuffy was promoted to full Lieutenant. After all the presentations were made the floor was opened up for comments and questions. There were several discussions as to what should be done with the second officer as well as the other crew that were in absentia. It was decided that they would be dealt with later. Also Sr Lt Karg still has to deal with being AWOL, however at this time a penalty has yet to be discussed by the Captain and the Commander. The meeting ended at approximately 2300 hours or there about. Cmdr Skyler Reporting.
