It's all in the little details isn't it? I like this too; when writers put in all the nitty and the gritty: The Marine kept his sight moving, tracking not just the conversation but the space around it. A stray glance, a shift in formation, a hand twitching toward a weapon—any of those could be the sign that things were about to turn. The wind picked up again, rustling the dry brush around him. Wes exhaled slowly, barely moving, waiting. Like this excerpt. That bit about the wind just adds extra dimension to it. And, I rather think, helps build up the tension and ratchet up the drama-rama. Neatly done!

Greetings @Elor Letek and congratulations on your graduating. I am still somewhat new here too Glad to meet you and wishing you a great time simming here in the Fleet. Welcome aboard!

I voted for Strange New Worlds for a couple of reasons. Briefly I list them here but I could ramble and ramble on and on about these and more. But these I think are the strongest, most compelling. I remember reading review of The Original Series. And that it wasn't until TOS went into syndication that it really started to gain traction. That's how I first saw Star Trek - in syndication. And I think that SNW has that same kind of appeal. Exploration, meeting the new and the strange. Equity and Equality. It wasn't until Season 2, Ep 2 "Ad Astra, per Aspera" that we got back to a courtroom drama about individual rights. And I knew right then that this was going to be a great series. I liked everything before this episode too. The strong characters and the pace and the storytelling, camera work and editing. The cast is great. But that episode was, for me, the high water mark. And I've loved every minute of it since.

Creative and written with care. This made my Christmas Eve. This and my favorite line: The crew were all nestled snug and tight in their bunks, Dreaming of distant family, of friends - or of hunks.

@Cyra Varati No worries. You'll do well wherever you land. It was fun to be in that training with all of us together. Hopefully, after we settle in I'll see you around in the game or in the OOC or in the Discord. And if you ever extra chocolate, Sam will take a piece. Take care and have fun. See you later.

Yes, thank you to @Tahna Meru for bein there and adding to our training. @Cyra Varati and @Mckenzie West where did you get posted? My character (Sam) is on Starbase 118 Ops!

Thank you Commander @Serala and thank you Commander Ukinix for being our trainers! Thank you to the Fleet for having a welcoming and supportive environment. Thank you. Glad to be here.

This is so exciting. Marvelously done and so much creative style. Looks awesome everyone. Wow! and Congrats!
