Cardiel has manage to impress me in a way whereby he keeps pulling out new tricks / learning how to handle situation better. You were in consideration when she was asked who to make Lieutenant. But Prendac is "older" so she thinks he sorta deserves the title for hanging in there so long. Akrenetai got it, 'cos he was around more than you. Just that, else you would have gotten it. Another important point is that, they didn't ask to be recommend to be Lieut, you did, which sorta sour the impression of you for Sassmi. Anyhow, over Cardiel is a great character. THanks for the shields and fun you have given to her. Take care.
