The young Bajoran seemed willing to step up which she expected from her people so she nodded her approval.
“The Nike is an impressive ship,” She smiled at him and agreed wholeheartedly "She is indeed!"
As she made to move away she said "It's been a pleasure to meet you both."
Turning she scanned the room and catching the eye of the Manager and gave her the prearranged signal to pass the glasses. Trays came forth and wait staff circulated the room handing glasses to all.
She took hers and found her Executive Officer. She smiled and nodded telling him with her body language that she was ready for the toast.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Starfleet and Marine Corp, May I have your attention please" clanking of glasses followed as her crew helped gain the rooms attention.
"Tonight we celebrate the lives and stories of our shipmates and friends who have recently fallen in battle. We know their names and now we've shared their stories. They will be remembered in our hearts and minds and their deeds never forgotten. We celebrate them and their sacrifice and usher them to their respective rewards"
"For those who are no longer with us here present yet still live we wish a full recovery and return to the service they love."
"I say you the USS Carolina" she said lifting her glass, and she heard the cheer and took a drink.
"I say you the USS Nike" another raised glass, cheer and drink.
After the sound had died and voices began turning to their own conversations again. She turned to Vlad and said "I believe this is my cue to let the troops relax."
"So I would guess that is good evening." she stopped before she turned and put a hand on his arm "I'll take a rain check on a dance to be redeemed later." and she winked at him.
With that the Captain left 10 Forward and it's denizens to their entertainment.
