{{Citation|Sheathed Sword|2391|USS Gemini|Traditionally, the Sheathed Sword is given to those who are injured and explore the aftermath of that event. Vanessa Driscoll (now Melik Finley) changed the order a little bit of a different order, but created a narrative that was just as compelling. During out mission, Lt. Driscoll was infected with a pathogen that was, essentially, a death sentence. Over the course of her remaining posts, she explored the implications of facing her own mortality, where the only question was when she would succumb to the effects of the pathogen. | {{Citation|Sheathed Sword|2391|USS Gemini|Traditionally, the Sheathed Sword is given to those who are injured and explore the aftermath of that event.

Most of us have a vague idea that our time in this world is limited. But very few of us face such mortality in the same way, with enough time to be aware of it, but with not enough to truly do anything about it. As such, it is my honour to present the Sheathed Sword to Vanessa Driscoll.}} | Most of us have a vague idea that our time in this world is limited.

{{Citation|Genesis Award|2401|USS Gorkon|We give the Genesis Award to those officers who make a sincere and noticeable effort to improve their simming skills. Mick has definitely done so in the time he’s been with us! He’s sought advice on a variety of topics, taking guidance to heart and always striving to make his sims engaging and his characters interesting. We’re seeing him go from strength to strength, and so we’re delighted to present him with the Genesis Award.}} | |||
{{Citation|Xalor Clan Xifilis Award|2401|USS Gorkon|Presented by Quinn Reynolds I’m delighted to present this award to Mick, the person behind Lina Dahlquist [now Melik Finley]. He is one of our many writers for whom English is a second language; something many of the Gorkon crew didn’t realise until recently! He doesn’t just use English, but does so in a way which communicates the vibrancy of his character; her hopes, dreams, struggles, and disappointments. It’s a testament to an ongoing dedication to his writing craft, and I’m very proud to recognise his ability to overcome the language barrier to create such engaging sims.}} | |||
