"Order Nuwhet on board." Kij senses a little irritation in your voice. He leaves a slightly shorter pause than normal before motioning to the attendant to get Nuwhet to his ship. "Get me Khapp," you order the computer. 'At least computers don't get drunk' you think.

"First Engineer Khapp reporting, sir!"
"Khapp, you are promoted to temporary captain of the Claud until Nuwhet is fit to resume."
With a look of surprise Khapp salutes you. "Thank you, sir!"

When the ships are almost ready to depart, you call up the captains. "Khapp, Sozin, we are shortly going to embark on a mission to aid a distressed ship just outside LG space. I will need your full backing. Are you with me?"
"Yes, commander," Sozin is immediate. Khapp, unused to the protocol, mumbles "yes sir" a second later.
"Good, launch when ready. The Jarif will be departing in three minutes."

It is mission hour 13 and the Claud is hailing you. "Nuwhet reporting for duty. Requesting permission to resume command of the Claud." Despite the redness round his eyes, poorly obscured by make-up, you assent. You figure that he needs time to settle back in and restore his respect amongst the crew.
