Lieutenant JG Kate Kono
Intelligence Officer
USS Washington

For “Inside Out”

What a post! It’s always good to remember that these are characters, and writing them more relatable and realistic can be just as, if not more important than techno-babble or explosions.

USS Sunfire

For “Pop, Lock and Drop Em'”

This is a great scene that encompasses a balance between the main characters, the villains, and even the ship herself almost feels like a character as everything comes together to centre the whole story.

Tactical Officer / Computer Systems Specialist
USS Firebird

For “Borrowed Knowledge”

The absurdity of everything happening in this post, as well as the dialogue, harkens back to some serious classic Trek with a few homages here and there that make it delightful and well worth the read.

Genesis

Captain Shran dh’Klar
Commanding Officer
USS Washington

For “Sins Laid Bare”

A nice start to a story that could go anywhere. Will there be repercussions for the actions of her Captain? What mystery does the Klingon ship hold? Does the crew have the answers or more questions? Hope we get to find out!
