Congratulations, and welcome to the Fleet!

"If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all!"

Congratulations, and welcome to the fleet! You all wrote wonderfully!

Congratulations, and welcome to the fleet!

@Samira Neathler this one hurts❤️‍🩹

@Vylaa (along with Gnaxac and Doz, and Stoyer's fancy flying) have had me cackling through the Borg crisis.

A lovely, touching sim from @Vesela Pace, with scientific expertise and emotional depth. I loved seeing Pace pull herself together and carry on with saving lives.

I don't know what to say, except thank you, and congratulations. It is such an honor and a pleasure to write with you all. If you need me, I'll be hiding in my office with a stack of tissues and chocolates.

Congratulations, everyone, and thank you for keeping the Fleet running!

Congratulations, all!

Congratulations and well done, everyone!

Lieutenant Commander Tahna Meru of the USS Gorkon barely makes it on time, offering excuses about "a very active nebula!" The author notes that this scientist makes a similar excuse every year. Her outfit was created by Bajoran designer Nadra (also responsible for Tahna's 2399 Awards dress). The dress is a collaboration with Tahna's father, Bajoran artist Tahna Rej, who hand-painted the flowers.

I loved how @Doz Finch used formatting in this scene to show Doz on autopilot while her mind was elsewhere. It felt like one of those scenes in movies where time slows down but the narration carries on-- it was very cinematic!

Congratulations Ensigns, and welcome to the Fleet!
