'''Hollis''': Officers do not leap fully formed from the Academy. Each of us learns something new every day. The best of us are constantly refining themselves trying to become the best person and officer possible. This simple bead, the Barclay Bead, is award to those willing to listen and grow. Please step forward Lt. Fletcher. (pause) You have moved admirably from an intern straight of the academy, to a trusted and valued Chief Medical Officer. Our journey is ongoing. It
is an honor to present you with this commendation.

'''Hollis''': Scotty, the name is a legend for improvising. Please come forward Lt. jg. Horne. Bajorans know a thing or two about improvising. We fought against a long occupation using the cast-offs of our oppressors. Lt. (pause) I've been told that you played an important role in getting Cmd. Anassasi away from the Cardassian's. That cut off from the rest of the crew you thought on your feet, moved quickly, and were in the right place at the right time. It's a pleasure to present you the Scotty Cross.

'''Hollis''': When other space-going people think of Star Fleet it is our engineers that they often first think of. The Pheonix award, honors those engineers and the genius that allows them to be the Galaxy's finest miracle workers. Lt. jg. Dane please step forward. Your uncanny ability with non Star Fleet technologies captured the attention of your fellow crew this last mission. You have certainly lived up to the fine tradition of Star Fleet engineers.

'''Hollis''': Lcmd. Townson please come forward. You may not remember, but indirectly you served briefly under me, while on the USS Tiger. It is good to see you again. Our last award is given to those who live life to the fullest, even in the midst of adversity. They remind everyone of the need to be more than a uniform devoted to duty, but to be fully alive. They show us not only what to do, but why we do it. Lcmd. Townson, it is my privilege to present you with the Plot Award.
