Coruscant
NRDF Naval HQ
1 Day After Chancellor Emil's Death



The entirety of Coruscant has been in an uproar, especially within the offices of higher-ranking military officials. The Chancellor, assassinated in the very planet he precedes over. Ceris was use to entering this building, since for some reason she gets called into Grand Admiral Brum's office frequently, for better or worse. She felt like it would be for the worse today.

Three knocks per usual before entering, Ceris rendered a salute. "Captain Odrosses, reporting." Her eyes observed Brum; he was only in his late 50s, but his face grew paler everyday. It was clear to Ceris that the Grand Admiral was ill, and he was on limited time. The stress gained from the previous day's tragic event only seemed to make it worse. "At ease." He let out a hoarse cough and placed a record on his desk. Ceris stepped closer to the center of the room, still pondering on how long will her role model will last. "We're moving you to a new duty station. With the recent events that occurred here, we feel like it is best for you to be somewhere else. You'll be moved to the 7th fleet, which is currently ported in Arkania and awaiting deployment. The Arquitens-class Frigate will be your home specifically."

Ceris was taken back at the surprise. "Sir.. did I do something wrong? I enjoyed my work here on Coruscant, and would very much like to stay." Brum raised an eyebrow to the Captain, but noticed that she didn't seem to understand. "Young lady, let me expound on what I said. We're not moving you for disciplinary reasons, we're moving you because you have been given a higher responsibility. Do you understand what I mean now Fleet Admiral? I believed you to be the best fit for the job."

"Sir, Fleet Admiral? At my age and time in service? I- you know that-" Brum raised his hand. "I know, you're the youngest officer to obtain the rank. So do a good job there. As you most likely can tell, my time in service may come to an end soon. It's unfortunate it didn't happen in battle, but maybe it is a blessing to get out alive. You have the potential to take my place, as long as you continue a solid record like you've done so far. Now, any questions?"

A great leap in her career was just made, but Ceris hardly felt excited in the moment. She grew rather accustomed to Coruscant and the large fleet that protected it. The room was silent until the newly made Admiral could force a response out of her lips "No... I do not have any questions sir." Brum simply offered a nod to Ceris, and so she exited the office.
