These Commander insignia's were losing their shine anyhow. That, and they didn't match my shoes...
But in all seriousness, I am honored to receive the rank of Captain and will do my very best to uphold the prestige and responsibilities that come with this promotion.
>Request for new cruiser commissioning.
I understand that several brand-spanking new Siege Cruisers have just come off the production line at Norfolk.
However, I've instead opted to request for an older, used Siege Cruiser. Currently under the callsign LNS-Memphis, the Captain has retired from duty and has offered me the position. If I have the go-ahead to captain this fine vessel, I'd recalibrate the callsign to [LN]-LNS-Florida - If High Command has no issues with that callsign, of course.
>Request for new Assault Battlecruiser commissioning.
Its also a well-known fact that Norfolk is currently near-completion of a high-tech Assault Battlecruiser for use by the Secondary fleet. Wouldn't it be better if this were in the hands of the Primary fleet?
Unfortunately, I'm not requesting that ship for us, as I'd rather have an older version of the battlecruiser. Another secondary fleet Captain is retiring from duty and I gave him a call when this notice crossed my desk. He's a good man and has offered the ship to the Primary Fleet.
The battlecruiser would serve as a backup database for both the criminal registry/database and the secondary fleet registry. Not only that, but it would capable of monitoring any and all data streams within the sector, providing crucial data on any possible threats.
I would be captaining the battlecruiser, with Lieutenant Jack Will as second-in-command. The ship would also be heavily armed and armoured, boasting an Epsilon-class armour upgrade (Four times the usual hull strength). Lacking any real marine-boarding power, this ship would instead be outfitted to the brim with the latest in computer equipment, data storage devices and communication arrays.
Commodore Robinson has already shown a keen interest in the proposal, hopefully the rest of High Command have a similar feeling. A suggested comm ID for the battlecruiser was [LN]-LNS-Groom.Lake.
