Captain Ashley Waterson has demonstrated excellent leadership potential, and will be your new Vice Admiral. You've done really well this far, don't let the additional work daunt you.
Captain James Lambert is issued the title of Commodore for his ceaseless dedication to the Navy, despite multiple injuries, time in captivity - I could go on for an hour - that would have turned other men away. It is the Admiralty's honor to place this trust in you.
Captain Rachel A. Baker, we understand your desire to be put back in charge of what you created almost a year ago now, so we have seen fit to switch you to the Special Forces Lead position. Have fun, but work hard.
For her proven feats of leadership and interest in wading through that infamous office, Commander Marisa Marshall is both promoted to Captain and bestowed the office of Quartermaster. I look forward to seeing you do well.
Lieutenant Commander Simon McAllister, having looked through your record, we've deemed you fit for the status of Commander. This does not come easily however, so please don't let us down.
Lieutenant Commander Michael Morse, you are also conferred the rank of Commander in acknowledgement of your continued active service and overall good performance record. Captain Baker, in her new role, has requested that you serve under her as Special Forces Lead. Of course, the Admiralty Board approved this. Good luck.
Lieutenant Catherine Raven, a demonstrated leader before, has once again been moved up to Lieutenant Commander. You have been doing really well, keep up the good work.
Ensign Helene Dupuis, your reports are incredibly thorough and you have shown great eagerness in flight. Lieutenant is your new paygrade. Stay focused, and you'll continue to grow.
Finally, Cadet Felix Urban has requested for a brief absence due to concerning matters at home. As a result, he is put On Leave until further notice.
Good work, everyone. You have all done Liberty proud with your service. That is all.

"You see what your knowledge tells you you're seeing. ... how, what you think the universe is, and how you react to that in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes. And that is as true for the whole of society as that is for the individual. We all are what we know, today. What we knew yesterday, was different; and so were we."
- James Burke, The Day the Universe Changed (1985)
