Mission 0.2 - Engineering
At the end of the announcement Blatt tensed up, he was ready to make a speech, that wasn't what he expected to do today. Putting his padd down, "um uh, thank you Commander Matheson. though I wish it were on better circumstances that this had happened, I, um, well," then in a quieter voice, "really wish you were still in the position..." Looking back up at the people in the engineering department a bit embarrassed, his voice rose a bit louder so that all could hear him,"We all wish it was under better circumstances." Giving Cat a sincere smile, "But I am Honored to serve this ship as Chief Engineer." Nervously smiling, praying that someone else would speak because he had nothing else.
