Commander Kevin Lance
Executive Officer
USS Chuck Norris

A great post, lots of mystery, with possible hidden agendas and trying to get rid of the one person seeking to get to the bottom of things.

Best Post (Joint Post)

Capt. Michael Murphy & Lt. Cmdr. Steve Ryan & Lt. Kestra Ral & Lt. Stuart Mann
CO / XO / CSO / NO
USS Montana

For “The Best Laid Plans…”

Great writing all together, and good to see species that were mentioned before making a comeback, all with betrayal and commerce in the background.

Funniest Post

Computer Systems Specialist / Second Officer
USS Sunfire

For “The Jig is Up”

A continuation from last month–the good times and writing keep rolling.

Genesis

For “Days to come”

Trying to turn the Chuck Norris in for extensive upgrades? More comfort? Holorooms… this will surely lead to trouble.
