Promotion

Khan had requested a promotion, but he didn't expect it to arrive so suddenly. He had read something about those events from Lieutenant Pouille's books, so he knew that they weren't anything major, especially for the lower ranks. Yet, Khan still believed that he would have had some time to prepare.

Khan inspected himself. He had showered, but the drive back to the teleport had tainted his uniform with sand and dirt. He even raised his arms to sniff his armpits, and the effects of Onia's heat quickly became evident in his nostrils.

"Don't worry," Amber giggled when she watched that scene. "It won't be anything major, so you are more than fine like this."

"I hope my promotion doesn't cause problems," Khan stated while giving up on the matter and resuming the march.
