For “Earth Pt2”

The somber beginning of this post, and the sudden gear shift when crisis arrives shows both a creative story and how when you have enough cooks in the kitchen, you can create something great.

For “Ignorance and Bliss”

A great duality, when you should be professional, and you can be professional, but when you also know people’s internal monologues, it adds both great insight and humor as well.

For “A Chance Encounter”

An interesting atmosphere to start a very interesting mission, with some cloak and dagger. 

MVP

Commander Rhiana t’Aegis
Chief Security & Tactical Officer
USS Firebird

The Security and Tactical Officer continues to be a rock for the sim despite personal loss, showing extreme range in creativity and collaboration. She is the backbone of the Firebird.

I am a big fan of seeing these posts being made with such creativity and skill and when not done by just the CO or XO; I know there is a lot of trust as well as imagination and hard work put into this one.
