Stars raced past the windows of the Orion's ready room. Montgomery was still reading over crew reports, somthing he'd have rather done before leaving Jupiter station. She'd definitly been kicked out before the final touches had been done, a point proved as the ship gave an almightly shudder. "The warp field not alligned then" said Montgomery to himself. The com interupted his thoughts

"Sir, I've got a transmission from Starfleet Command for you, Captain Fisher."

"Thanks, patch it through to here would you."

The face of Mongomery's Commanding Officer appeared on the small monitor, as he adjusted it to suit his position perched on the desk.

"James, are you comming to join us any time soon?" said Fisher with his usual pleasent demeanour.

"Captain we're on our way to you now." said Montgomery in the most official tone he could muster, "Jupiter kicked us out early though and we're having to finished some systems ourselves, but I'm confident our Engineers can have us near full strength by the time we reach Obsidian."

"Good. Well, I shaln't keep you any longer" said Fisher, "But you may want to replicate your self a new pip before you get here, the Commodore has confirmed your promotion to Commander with immediate effect. Congratulations"

"Thank you SIR" said James, drawing his torso up to it's fullest height. He suddenly felt consious that he was sat on the desk and perhaps he should have been stood up to recieve the news.

"That's all, Fisher out"

The channel closed, returning the monitor to the crew report Mongomery had been viewing.

'So far so good' murmoured the CO to himself as he returned to his work.
