: A ship cannot thrive without the guidance of a good command team, and a command team without a good first officer is already setting up the wrong scene. Imagine Kirk without Spock, or Picard without Riker. When countless things could go wrong, it is often this bond, and the sheer will of that first officer, that moves mountains. Having a few years of command experience, and real-world management experience as well, I can honestly not be more proud to present this year’s Strange Medallion to an incredibly deserving officer and my very own XO, Matt, aka Commander Addison MacKenzie. | : A ship cannot thrive without the guidance of a good command team, and a command team without a good first officer is already setting up the wrong scene.

: Shortly after the 2020 Awards Ceremony, the crew of the Atlantis, about to become the Chin’toka, found themselves suddenly without a commanding officer. At that time, Jim, known to us here as Commander Serala, was a new First Officer without much experience in the second chair. | |||
: Jim was asked to step up and keep the Chin’toka going while the Executive Council brought me in to take over the center seat. Jim had to learn the intricacies of command and the extensive duties that a Captain performs in short order, while also getting used to a new style of leadership from me and helping the Chin’toka’s crew deal with the sudden loss of the person who had kept them together for quite some time. | |||
: Jim stepped up in a big way. I was able to count on him to keep me up to date on how the crew was doing from day one, and he ran a tight, well put together mission during his command practical. Jim’s characters are also filled with expression and emotion. In particular, he has written Serala as having to deal with the trauma of losing her husband while raising her just-born daughter, all while rising through the ranks of Starfleet. | |||
: Jim is a fantastic writer and a very hard worker. He’s exactly the sort of player who I’m delighted to see rising into the ranks of Starbase 118 leadership. Because of this, I’m honored to be able to present him the Strange Medallion! | |||
