The Endeavour, now once again resuming its primary duty inside the Shackleton Expanse, was enjoying an evening of downtime celebrating the promotion of Jak to the rank of Lieutenant. When the rank was appointed, Jak opened up emotionally for the first time in his speech. He was a child of two worlds always feeling split apart from who he is, and finally he had found his true home on Endeavour. The crowd was moved, gave a thunderous ovation, followed by good cheer and refreshments.
Dr. Wetherby and Commander Kirek rushed to his side, and after assessing his condition, beamed him directly to sick bay.
