<p>The seats in the board room were, thankfully, all full already — or had been, as the rest of the command staff rose to their feat. Soot waved them off with a smile. &ldquo;Sit, sit. Sorry I&rsquo;m late. Couldn&rsquo;t decide between the five identical outfits they give me,&rdquo; they said breezily. They let their expression warm into a lopsided smile — though all smiles are lopsided when only half of your snout works. &ldquo;That, or you&rsquo;re all here <em>early</em> because it&rsquo;s Dr. R&rsquo;s last shift on this rotation. Congratulations, my dear friend.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Applause around the room. Earnest applause, too, Soot was pleased to notice. Dr. R&rsquo;s reputation as one of the kindest, most competent CMOs in the Delta sector was well-earned. The old man was positively beaming, the wrinkles on his face showing how truly, deeply he inhabited all his own smiles.</p>
<p>There were short speeches from all of the rest of command, all veterans. The head of security praised his efficiency in getting the crew back up and moving when they were injured. The chief justice praised his commitment to treating <em>everyone,</em> not just the &lsquo;good ones&rsquo; on board. The logistics officer jokingly grumbled about just how much of a stickler he was about turning on suit coordinates, which so often degraded during cryosleep.</p>
<p>When attention finally turned to Soot, they smiled and stood, paws clasped behind their back, and said, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve known Dr. R since I was a kid, and must say that there are few who are as cool under pressure as he is. I certainly do my best, but&hellip;well.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Chuckles around the table. Soot knew they had a bit of a temper.</p>
<p>(Full command, CMO is Dr. R, now nearing retirement, greetings etc)</p>
<p>&ldquo;I will not say &lsquo;thank you for your service to Nanotrasen&rsquo; or anything so crassly capitalist, but I <em>will</em> say thank you for your service to <em>us.</em> We wouldn&rsquo;t be quite as whole as we are without you.&rdquo; They leaned forward and offered a paw to the old CMO to shake. &ldquo;Earnestly, thank you, Doctor. Congrats on being kicked up the ladder to Central.&rdquo;
