Dress Parade
Bel flexed her wings out as she bowed to Hanako, "Yes ma'am."
She stepped forward beside her Captain, swallowing as she mentally called up the blocks of commendations that had been authorized for the crew. As much as it reduced their accomplishments to the barest elements, it was really just a matter of putting the right names in order. Her feathers rustled in the breeze as she took a deep breath, "By order of ShΓ΄shΓ΄ Ketsurui Hanako and Star Army Personnel, I present the following awards.

Clearing her throat, Bel looked at the suddenly long row of her crewmates. It hadn't occurred to her earlier.... She should probably pin them on the waiting spacers. Stepping forward, she moved methodically left to right, right to left from those standing. In the few steps it took to cross the gap, she made the executive decision to not try fusing with sticking anything on anyone. Especially since it seemed that almost everyone else had dressed up more then her for the occasion.
Instead, deft hands produced rank pins and ribbons for each crew member with a quiet murmur of 'congratulations'.
