Timeline: Current

When the captain found out about the sergeant's recent past and her spotless record, she decided to give the sergeant a promotion.

She Arrived at the mess hall promptly upon receiving the pre-recorded message on her portable personal messaging device. She looked around the room for her captain’s meeting spot but couldn’t find her captain to make her time seem productive; she headed to the committal water fountain area to get her water canteen, which was on her belt, topped off for the rest of the day.

Captain Orsborn saw the sergeant. "Hello, SGT. It's good to see you. Do you know why I asked you here today?" Captain Orsborn asked.

The sergeant looked over at her captain carefully to ensure she could be a good friend to her as a paternal mentor. And yes, she pointed at her right wrist while looking down at her digital Federation smartwatch, which looks like a mobile device. She can get her messages on foot and without using the private terminal. “I’m guessing I got your free automated message, and I decided to come in person and meet you solely to have some bonding time she smiled. Her dog-like teeth poking out.

"Well, Sergeant. This isn't much of a social call. It's me getting you promoted." She said with a smile.

After hearing what the captain had said about what's
“not a social call finished the remark with a smile, but was only for the captain to give her promotion. D'ghockaK Set calmly on the chair that she was sitting in next to her captain. “ why are you doing this for me?” well, she was asking staring straight at the captain with her blood red eyes.

"I'm doing this because I need an executive officer for the Marines. And you're the only one here that supersedes anyone else who'll join us." She said.

After Orsborn was done with her talking to her marine sergeant who was simply sitting in front of her across the small eating table and talking about why she has to go forward with giving D'ghockak the XO for the Marines division in order to allow anyone else who wishes to join us on the ship. D’hockak said “thank you ma’am.”

"You're welcome. 1st Lieutenant D'Ghockak." She said to her.

D’Ghockak still looking forward at the Captain “Did my personal history worry you about my criminal syndicate activity such as being a hitman?” she asked patiently waiting for the answer to the question.

She smiled and then said. "No. It does not. Now just know with you being my Executive Officer of the Marines, I must say, I needed someone for the job and you are the only one that is part of the marines that I could ever really rely on to be that. So no. Nothing with your criminal syndicate activity such as being a hitman doesn't worry me." She explained with a smile on her face.

D’Ghonckak listened to Captain speak then she said “ I wish this was a social call. would be nice to have some time to get to know each other.

"No need. I've already know most about you as is. So you don't need to worry." She said.

D’Ghonckak gave her captain a good smile on her face and then said “I'm going to be leaving you to finish with what you were doing earlier also “Thank you for the promotion “ as she smiled exiting the room.
