WRITER OF THE MONTH

    Task Force 23: Meridian: Commander Carey (David) and Lt. Commander Plaatjes (Ieu) both post they put out assisted in moving the sim along to the next phase.

    Area 51: Concord & Pioneer

Concord: SciLad - Helped with finishing out the last lingering post of the previous mission. 

Pioneer: Lieutenant Vura - Shore Leave missions are always for learning more about the characters and their personal lives. Vura never fails in this task and in the last month we have learned not only about her, but about the difficulty she is having settling into life aboard the Pioneer.

PLAYER OF THE MONTH

    Task Force 23: Calypso: Stuart. 

We began the next mission with a lot of Bela, the counselor. Stuart is always ready and willing to get involved and bring the counselor into any post. Bela is doing all she can to hug every member of the crew and give them someone to talk to.

    Area 51: Astrea & Ontario & Valiant

Astrea: Josef Forstinger: He’s been a joy in the sim both in and out of character and is being nominated this month to acknowledge his presence on the sim both for morale in the lively voice and text chats, but also for developing and leading what is turning into a very popular storyline - Starfleet Noire - now in multiple parts and still going, it’s quite complex and the crew involved are loving it. 

Ontario: Stuart. Who (surprise) plays the counselor. Amanda has volunteered to be a guinea pig and lure out whoever is responsible for the missing scientists and colonists. He has eagerly participated in the away team and has worked with other players to facilitate the "kidnapping" of his character in the name of story. He's great to work with and always willing to help out both in and out of character—even if it gets his character in trouble.

Valiant: Amy Gordon, written by Cynthia.

Valiant’s Intelligence officer does a lot to help keep things moving aboard the Valiant and I appreciate that to no end. I say that about all my writers, I know, but it’s true. This month, Amy was instrumental in getting some spy work done then jumped into a rescue rail buggy to help try and rescue more colonists. Within those posts, Amy kept the ball rolling as always and kept the story alive, even during the holiday break. Thank you!!

POST OF THE MONTH

    Task Force 23: Deep Space 5

"Introductions" (https://deepspace5.harperhold.com/index.php/sim/viewpost/2124)

The head of strategic operations picks up his date, the chief medical officer, for the marine Corps Ball. It's a charming post between two excellent writers.

    Area 51: Concord & Herodotus & Ontario

Concord: "Where Sleeping Drones Lie" (https://concord.harperhold.com/index.php/sim/viewpost/135) - A brazen away mission to board the remains of a Borg ship wrecked goes terribly wrong.

Herodotus: Following The Signal - (https://herodotus.uss-pioneer.com/index.php/sim/viewpost/152)

Ontario: "Oh Doctor, My Doctor" (https://ontario.harperhold.com/index.php/sim/viewpost/404)
