The crew is on SB 718 relaxing and enjoying the down time, several crew members had moved to StarFleet Medical because they never woke up from their comas

He was still in the lounge, listening to Nemi talk to him about herself, what she likes to do, her likes, dislikes, where she came from, etc and the next thing he knows, his com badge chirps. He is startled awake and he looks around for a moment, seeing Nemi sitting across from him with a perplexed, yet irritated look on her face. He then realized he dozed off while she was talking.
"I am so sorry, Counselor. I seem to have dozed off. I do and have enjoyed spending time with you but it seems that duty is rearing it's ugly head again. Perhaps we can dine again together soon?"
He then tapped his badge to answer Hall, wondering what he wanted with him "On my way, Colonel." He steals a drink from his glass before he gets up
With a courteous nod to Nemi, he turns to exit

Moon's eyes had slowly closed. Nemi knew it wasn't intentional. Almost everyone still felt the effects of the cloud's energy drain. She wouldn't have minded a nap herself. The Tactical officer's head had begun to tilt forward as well. She was just wondering if she ought to politely attempt to wake him or see what might happen when his nose met the remnants of his wraps, when his combadge chirped.
Moon snapped awake, realizing he'd dozed off and apologized hurriedly before excusing himself. Nemi watched him with an amused expression.
"Perhaps dessert?" She mimed throwing a pie at him and laughed.

He turned back with a raised brow as he heard Nemi mention dessert, just as she mimed throwing a pie at him. He laughed with her and mimed scraping the pie off his face with a wink before he exited the lounge
Entering the nearest TL, he would issue his destination to the computer "Bridge."
A couple moments would pass and the TL doors would open onto the bridge. He steps out, turning and walking toward the CO's office to ring the chime, announcing his presense

Hearing his Chime ring Enter the door opened and Moon entered, he looked a Moon Would you like something to drink? he asked
He could see Moon was a bit tired, which was understandable the cloud had drained them a lot, he waited for Moon to reply

He entered at the Colonel's invitation. He sent a salute toward the Senior officer "Lt Moon, reporting as.." He broke off as the Colonel asked him if he wanted something to drink "Coffee would be preferred, sir, with an addition of cream and sugar." He replied
He tried not to look as tired as he felt but it appeared his fatigue was showing more then he let on. He stood, waiting for his coffee, and to hear the reason why he was called to the CO's office

He watched as Hall went over to the replicator to order a romulan blend coffee. He had meant one from Earth but he didn't actually specify which blend he wanted. Coffee is coffe at this point, he mused
He sat down when Hall suggested it, taking the coffee he offered, with a polte thank you. He took a sip of the coffee, his eyes widening as he felt the effects of the coffee throughout his system "Yes, they do, sir. It gives quite a boost to chase away the fatigue."
He nodded as Hall told him the Tarawa is cleared to leave in three days, also informing him there'll be a new female Ops Officer coming aboard, a Vulcan "Always good to see more females... um, officers joining the crew, Colonel."
His brow arched as the Colonel commented that he wanted him to to recall the crew in 2 days "Isn't that the duty of the First Officer, sir?" He inquired, knowing Lt Doogan is currently acting as First Officer

He reaches in desk as Moon speaks, he smiles at Moon's last comment Well Commander yes it is, the job of my my First Officer he slides LtCmdr pips to Lt Moon.
My number 1 needs the proper rank, this is Temporary right now theirs a lot of SO's after this spot and some unhappy XO's He looks at Moon
We'll know in about month or two , but I'm letting Starfleet Headquarters know I want you as my XO
He then smiles at Moon to let him know he thought his comment on more females was funny, but that type of comment is not becoming an First Officer.
Do you have any questions Number 1 he asks

As he took his second sip of the romulan coffee, his mind picked up that Hall called him commander.. twice. He started to correct him, to say that he was only a full Lt before he watched Hall slide an extra pip his way, making him a Lt Cmdr. His eyes widened again, but this time, it wasn't the coffee
He listened as Hall explained that his position is temporary. that there are plenty of SO's and XO's also applying for his position and none are too happy that they were not picked "I am sure that is the case, Colonel. They should also realize the Tarawa isn't the only ship in the fleet."
He reached over to claim the extra pip, moving to affix it to his collar, officially accepting the rank of Lt Cmdr and AXO. "I shall do my best, as always, for this ship and crew, Colonel. I am humbled by your confidance in me."
He felt the spike in humor from him as he made his comment about the new Ops officer. He also felt a little annoyance there as well, as if a commanding officer shouldn't be making such comments. Sometimes Marineswere a little too series at times, his naval mind mused
He thought for a couple moments, then shook his head "I can think of no further questions, Colonel." He commented

He got up to go when he was dismissed, nodding at the Colonel as he stated that he is the best qualifed, in his opinion "Thank you, sir. I shall continue to serve this ship to the best of my ability. As for the new Tac officer, with Ops training, I will look for one as soon as possible and get back to you in a couple hours." He already had one in mind but he wanted to confirm thebackground and history of the one he has in mind. He turned to go

He exited Hall's office, entering the bridge once again. He looked around to see who was there and who wasn't. He noted only a skeletal crew is on duty at this time.
He walks over to the Ops control panel, logged in with his security code. With quick fingers, he checked up on his candidate of choice for the Tactical position, with training in Ops: Second Lt Yuna Wynn, one of the newer recruits that was assigned before the Cloud mission.
Her previous assignment had been to the Red Squad. If he recalled right, that ship was quarrantined do to a viscious virus that decimated the senior officers of the crew and forced the cadet aboard to take over. By the time the ship was found, nearly all of it's systems had failed and half the cadet crew had also caught the virus and nearly succumbed.
He arched a brow as he looked at Miss Wynn's file. She virtually controlled the bridge, while the other cadet fought to find a cure for this virus before she and the remaining crew succumbed to the virus. It's also noted on her record that in a fit of panic, she disobeyed her commnding officer's orders to keep their whereabouts and their condition unknown, that it was said that she was trying to protect her twin girls that was born during the virus out break. Running the bridge and she still had time to create new life? His respect for the young woman went up a couple points.
Transferring Yuna's file to a padd, he logs out of the Ops control board and turns to go back to the Colonel's office. He rang the chime again about an hour after he left the first time
