As of the seventh of this month, Fleet Admiral Roy Sanders had stepped down from his position in the Admiralty. He will remain on until the end of July as a Captain in his old role, Fighter Wing Instructor.
Admiral Alan Polstari has also relinquished the responsibilities of his old role, and is now retired.
Additionally, Vice Admiral Nicole Hayes chose to step aside, citing health concerns and a wish to move on with her life in a different direction.
Another - and fortunately the last - of our senior staff to leave is Captain Kohaku Ueda. Although recently returned from an undercover operation, she feels that she is more suited a Naval desk job aboard Washington Shipyard and as such has transferred there.
And now onto some good news; Captain Remus Sius, due to your superior diligence and good service as the Capital Warships Coordinator, you are promoted to Admiral. It has been an honor to serve with you thus far.
I, Vice Admiral Rohj Teerin, have been entrusted the position of Fleet Admiral by Sanders and the Secretary of State.
Commander James Lambert, although your record has several extended ... absences on it, I have seen fit to issue you the rank of Captain. Given dedication, I'm sure you'll do well.
Lieutenant Commander Marisa Marshall has also received a promotion, to Commander. Marshall, you will serve under Lambert as the Special Forces Lead. Take your time settling in; things will work out fine.
Finally tonight, Cadet John Graham has been granted the pay grade of Ensign. You have done really well so far, so keep it up.
With the retirement of Polstari, please visit my office for now should you have any requisitions to make. You have all done well, and I look forward to serving you all as best I can.
~ Fleet Admiral Rohj Teerin.
"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)
