{{Citation|B-Plot Award|2399|[[Kalianna Nicholotti]]|The B-Plot award is bestowed upon a player who is able to provide a true glimpse of what makes a character tick, outside of the specific and current demands of the ongoing plot. They show the past of their character and how various events led them to who they might be in the current moment. While I must say that this crew as a whole impresses me with their ability to incorporate past events into sims, we have one player who has been noted by their crewmates as providing this very thing to a high degree. To that end, it is my sincere pleasure to present this award to Ryan, the writer and mastermind behind our well-loved chief engineer, Hallia Yellir. Over the past year, Hallia has become a very in-depth character with plenty of trials that brought her to her success today. I fully enjoy taking the journey with her, and seeing where she came from, as well as where she is going.}}
{{Citation|Laudean Commendation|2399|[[Kalianna Nicholotti]]|Starbase 118 is well known for its collective creative nature. For over two decades, players just like us have developed and created everything from amazing storylines to a wealth of new additions to the Star Trek universe. Most of these creations and additions were added through the day to day simming of characters, with little tidbits here and there coming together over time to become something to behold. Named for the race developed in this manner for Starbase 118 itself, the Laudean Commendation this year is going to Ryan, who has expanded on the Yelikan race through simming a rich and realistic history. Giving us not only the backstory of the character, but a glimpse into the world in which Hallia Yellir has grown and come into her own, Ryan has truly brought this race to life and I am proud to bestow this honor upon him.}}
{{Citation|Phoenix Award|2399|[[Kalianna Nicholotti]]|This year I am absolutely thrilled and so proud to present the Phoenix Award to Lieutenant Hallia Yellir. A long-time member of the fleet who has served on multiple ships and in multiple capacities, tackling Engineering was not a plan, nor a first choice. It was a spur-of-the-moment challenge that was presented, and I can only say that I am so glad that Ryan chose to step up into this role.
Originally science and security, engineering was definitely not something Ryan might have considered without the idea being set out for him. The fact remained that we had a lasting gap, and even though we were a science ship, we had more than a few science officers. Shifting was the natural course of action, but no one was completely set on it at first because we wanted to make sure that it would be fun and sustainable for Ryan and the players he interacted with.
As with all things, there were worries, there were concerns, and then...Ryan simmed Hallia into the role and all of that seemed to simply evaporate.
Transferring any confusion or lack of 'techno' information into the character herself has led to one of the most enjoyable engineering characters that I have ever had the opportunity to read. The character's concerns and inward thoughts bring her to life in a way only Ryan can, and her personality absolutely shines, especially when things get rough.
And we all know how rough things can get down in engineering.
Knowing now what we know, the only thing I would change is how long we left the role open when we had an amazingly talented Chief Engineer right there. It is so exciting to see where Ryan will grow with Hallia next!}}
