awarded to individuals who bring their ships to life with well-rounded PNPCs, enhancing plots and character development, without detracting from the main story and characters of the sim. They add depth and colour to the universe, and make the journey the experience. Named for Jeffrey Combs, guest star of a thousand faces.

In addition to writing for Jones, Kris has several PNPC characters in his arsenal and has written for MSPNPC characters that jump to the task no matter what role they’re intended to fill. Additionally, Kris also wrote a brief stint on Ops, for which his contributions there were also recognized: “Hiro was one of several guest simmers who has graciously come to participate in a mission on Ops. He did with gusto and I was impressed with the NPCs that he provided for the mission. I really enjoyed the different personalities that shined through and the way he helped establish and then progress the story. His descriptions helped visualise the scene and his narration allowed us a peek into each character's psyche that was engaging and never boring. It is for this reason I believe he deserves this award.”

named after one of the races developed here at 118, extensively by our players and for our players. It is presented to a player who embodies that ongoing creativity in their exploration of new life forms. While we often find ourselves and our missions involving new races, it is the recipient of this award who has brought those races to life in a realistic manner, enriching the story and cementing said races’ place in 118 history.
((OOC Award Presentation 240006.28))
“Kris has demonstrated unmatched creativity and dedication in the development and expansion of the Da’al species, one which exists solely within the canon of SB118. Through Kris’ simming as an MSPNPC, they painted a picture of not just their physical and psychological makeup, but their cultural and social systems as well. Kris displayed initial enthusiasm for fleshing out the details of the Da’al species during the prep phase of the mission. The Da’al had played a major role in a previous mission, but they’d not been revisited in the two years since. Kris took the handful of sociocultural breadcrumbs from that old mission and immediately created a compelling character, steeped in the lore of the Da’al, but with new and fresh takes on their society. Kris’ standout moment in the development of the Da’al came part way through the mission, when they simmed an action that could be described as uncharacteristic of the species. In keeping with the collaborative spirit of our game, Kris accepted the note in stride. They pivoted IC, and in doing so, created new opportunities for everyone to direct the plot and the Da’al in new and satisfying ways.”

“Kris, the player behind Ensign Hiro Jones, re-joined SB118 only last November, but they have become one of if not the most active person on our ship. They involve everyone, junior and senior, to their scenes, and they also make joint posts often and with practically everyone. They are the mind behind scenes from lower decks movie night to holodeck DnD and multipart crossposts on childhood friendship. To my knowledge, they have formed friendships with everyone onboard the Artemis and even on other ships. Not only are they typically one of if not the most active posters on Artemis, but they also play an MSPNPC on Ops. They recently said playing two roles (and given their amazing playing with PNPCs and MSPNPCs on Artemis, more than two roles) on two different ships has been demanding, but they have shown no signs of exhaustion. Instead, they don’t seem to shy from taking more responsibilities and has always performed them with dedication. During our previous mission, they were eager to take an MSPNPC to play with, and the mission before that, they played with Hiro and, in addition, as big a role as PNPC Kawarda so I wouldn’t be left alone in my scene. They also wrote an article to the Medical Journal on Da’allium, a chemical we discovered during the previous mission. The article is amazing, detailed and filled with figures and images. If writing a thesis on a fictional chemical (that they mostly invented and formulated too!) doesn’t speak of dedication, I don’t know what does!”
