I've noticed sometimes that I can see scheduled promotions that I shouldn't be able to. It's not normally obvious, but once someone was promoting an inspector to a security chief outside of my sonar range. When scrubbing into the future, it showed the shields increase, even though they hadn't confirmed the promotion and it was outside of my sonar range. I'm assuming something similar happened here. They had a lieutenant or hypnotist scheduled to be promoted, but then changed it before it actually was promoted.
