Consul Josephine Carlyle-Cragen
Story Time
by Commander Kyle Reece
Her recent solo post, "A Lullaby Among the Stars", was both beautifully written and a warm joy to read. It was a surprising addition of tenderness and innocence among all the action and chaos. Cmdr Kyle Reece

A three way tie for our quiet month of September - Gary Taylor, Samuel Woolheater and Torian Vale

1st Lieutenant Torian Vale
Meritorious Newcomer Award
by Commodore Phoenix Lalor-Richardson
This player has slammed it out of the park. Welcome to the Elysium

Josef Forstinger
Outstanding Side Plot
by Commander Kyle Reece
For his continued excellence in showing us how a 20th century soldier, who was ripped from his time and hone, then forced to do barbaric things over hundreds of years, I think Josef is beyond worthy of this award. I thank him also, for allowing my character, David, to be a part of the journey. Keep up the great writing! Cmdr Kyle Reece

Lieutenant Commander Rin
Intelligence Star
by Commander Kyle Reece
For her continued march to learn and gather information, Rin deserves this award. She, in my humble opinion, is the best example of an Intelligence character that I have ever had the honor of reading and knowing. Keep up the excellent writing! Cmdr Kyle Reece

1st Lieutenant Torian Vale
Meritorious Newcomer Award
by Commander Kyle Reece
For his outstanding initial posts, that reveal to us his character's oast, I nominated this award to Vale. I look forward to many more adventurous reads, Sir. Keep up the great writing! Cmdr Kyle Reece

Lieutenant J'airesh Mora-Heath
Rose Award
by Commander Kyle Reece
For her continued enjoyment of her hunk of man, Chuck Finley. I find their connection (granted I am biased) to be a natural one, were hard attraction and quick devotion occur. I look forward to see what Fate has in store for the couple. Cmdr Kyle Reece

Staff Sergeant Leilani Charles {Kelea-Salik}
Collaborative Post Excellence
by Commander Kyle Reece
For her part in "Dum spiro, spero", Leilani Charles continues her excellent job of being the, apparently only, medical staff specifically tasked with caring for Elysium's fearless Marines. Keep up the great writing! Cmdr Kyle Reece

Captain Samuel Woolheater
Creativity Award
by Commander Kyle Reece
In his continuing side storyline concerning the poor Private Corelli, Captain Woolheater is giving us the view of what happens when good, highly-trained individuals start to reach their limits in regards to how much stress they can take on. The latest chapter, "Dum spiro, spero", also starts to show the stress that a new leader can be forced to endure. I, personally, am looking forward to how this story ends. Keep up the great writing! Cmdr Kyle Reece

Lieutenant Commander Rin
Outstanding Personal Character Arc
by Lieutenant Commander S'hib
This writer has done a fantastic job of stepping up and involving themselves in my mission, introducing a rarely seen aspect of Rin that neither overshadowed nor felt out of place with the main themes of the mission. It felt like an entirely organic and natural sequence of events and I can't wait to see how it all transpires for Rin as a character. -S'hib

Teevs Dosivi
1 Year - Time Served
by Commodore Phoenix Lalor-Richardson

1st Lieutenant Torian Vale
Story Time
by Captain Samuel Woolheater
For his outstanding work on his premiere debut post, "Neon". Very descriptive and lots of detail. Good spelling, nice grammar, straight teeth and fresh breath. A class act all the way.

Hello crew of the USS Elysium, please join me again in congratulating Ewan who plays our resident Gorn CMO in reaching the 400-post milestone (actually 402) This quite the milestone for this talented writer, who infuses his character with medical prowess and gentle grandfatherly advice. I expect more milestones to be reached by this amazing writer.

Well done!

Jeff aka Captain Gary Taylor
