As the soft music of the traditional PSI 5
ceremonial rank song plays in the background, you (from a first
person perspective) begin to walk down the aisle towards the
podium. As you step up onto the raised platform, the senior
officer reads a traditional speech to you. That speech goes as
follows, "You have honored us
with your superior display of authority in amongst the place of
battle. Your success against the odds placed against you by your
adversaries is by far above and beyond the expectations of which
your position was originally intended to be. It is my honor and
privilege to grant you this promotion, passed down by the
Co-Presidential Staff themselves, for the upgrade from your
current rank of Mars to the noble status of Jupiter. Now for
these necessary questions. First of all, do you understand the
requirements that this position demands of you?" You answer by
saying, "Yes." He continues, "Second, do you in any way feel that
you do not deserve this promotion in rank?" You answer, "No."
Next thing the senior officer asks is, "Last, but not least, are
you willing to accept the responsibilities required by you from
both your new position and your commanding officers with no
questions asked, should any occasions to do so ever arise?" You
answer with a "Yes, sir." And with that said, he pins the Jupiter
insignia onto your flight suit. "Let it be known that to this day
forward, this officer is no longer to
be identified as a Martian Weapon's Officer, but as a Jupitarian
Weapon's Commander." Then, after you line up with the other eight
officers and the applause from the audience calms down, you are
handed a parchment listing your next assignment.
