H'AJAH, daughter of SHAL, of House CARGH in exile,
Despite your CONSIDERABLE PROWESS in the APPLICANT DISCOVERY AND INTERROGATION PROCESS, I must inform you that YOU HAVE NOT BEEN SELECTED FOR THE HONOUR OF DEPARTMENTAL COMMAND at this time.
BUT DO NOT DESPAIR! Despite your comparatively junior rank, YOU HAVE IMPRESSED YOUR COMMANDER with your BOLD AND INGENIOUS PLANS for the improvement of the station, and although you cannot yet match the experience of other applicants, YOU WERE NOT FOOLHARDY TO TRY, BUT COURAGEOUS!
THEREFORE, I do hereby RAISE YOU IN RANK to the grade of LIEUTENANT COMMANDER, with all the rights and privileges thereunto ascribed, in recognition of THREE YEARS OF SERVICE AS A LIEUTENANT in Starfleet, with sundry and divers COMMENDATIONS that recommend you for promotion, and the CONFIDENCE OF YOUR COMMANDER withal.
MOREOVER, you are hereby TRANSFERRED TO THE OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT with immediate effect, there to serve COMMANDER HANSON, the newly-appointed CHIEF, both FAITHFULLY and WELL.
AND, as your COMMANDER, I heartily encourage you to BRAVE THE CHALLENGES of the BRIDGE OFFICER TEST, which can be administered by the EXECUTIVE OFFICER at your posting.
With you amongst our number, I know that WE SHALL NOT FAIL.
QAPLA'!
//SIGNED//
Captain Caspius
Starbase Commander, Deep Space 13
