TO Brahe/ALL FROM CAPT Sel, Zaliel SUBJ Crew Rotations |
New crew rotations will begin on Stardate 96044.8. With them come some changes in the Senior Staff, in addition to some noteworthy additions.
First, we must say a heartfelt goodbye to Commander Mirra Yesleb. Mirra came aboard as my First Officer when I originally took command of the Brahe in 2409. Her dedication, loyalty, and service are unmatched in all of Starfleet. While sometimes unpopular for her quarter or shift assignments, Mirra always placed the safety and success of the Brahe and her crew first. Before she disembarks to take command of the USS Tibo, take a moment in your day to thank her for her service over these years. She will be sorely missed.
Taking the position of First Officer is Commander Tellara sh'Zarath who comes to us from the Deep Space 13 Science Department. Tellara has had an interesting career, serving on a variety of Starfleet ships and installations. Her passion for exploration and scientific discovery are evident and I am confident she will be a great fit for our crew.
Doctor Stose is the next Senior Officer to leave us. For the past three years, Doctor Stose has served us as our Chief Medical Officer and Counselor. Though sometimes called acerbic in his bedside manner, Doctor Stose has been a major asset to the Brahe, not only ensuring the health and well-being of our crew, but as an active contributor to our mission of scientific exploration. The good Doctor will be leaving us to teach at the Starfleet Academy Annex on Betazed. Conciliatory offerings to his future students can be sent to the Annex, C/O the Medical Administrator's office.
The new Chief Medical Officer will be Lieutenant Victor Castillo. Victor comes to us from Starfleet Medical, but his field experience is quite remarkable, leading one of the Trauma Teams aboard the USS Paracelsus. His experiences in this regard will hopefully be seldom-used; however, those same skills are applicable by understanding the importance and implementation of quarantine procedures--and area critical given the number of samples our teams collect during surveys.
Last, but certainly not least, I'd like to extend a welcome to Amset. For those not following the exciting world of robotics, Amset is an artificial intelligence built by defense contractor Zahir to learn skills and supplement Starfleet crews by performing learnable tasks. While Zahir maintains that Amset is not sentient, it should be noted that Amset is an Academy graduate and holds a commission of Ensign--this is not honorary, but an actual rank. Therefore, all crew members who may report to or be under the supervision of Amset are expected to follow Amset's lawful orders, as well as show the appropriate respect befitting any life form who would hold such a rank. In general, Amset is designed to learn new skills and study humanoid behavior, and is capable of some very impressive computational feats.
Please extend a warm welcome to our new crew members. An open reception will be held on Stardate 96049.1. Thank you for your time and attention.
I Have the Honor to be Your,
Captain Zaliel Sel
Commanding Officer, USS Brahe
