Decoration Announcement

[KingOfThePing]

TO: Crew of the SCCV Horizon
FROM: Human Resources, Central Command
SUBJECT: DECORATION REPORT

--------------------

Body:

Dear valued employees,

it is with a great honour, that I was chosen to bring you this message. You all knew, that the journey on the Horizon would not be an easy one, when you all signed up and embarked on it almost 9 months ago. Yet some situations are out of the ordinary, even for the mission you were given. The day of the 10th of December 2464 was one of these days. 
You all were called to assist a very dangerous situation, a situation none of you were expecting, a situation Command never wanted to put you in. Yet you heeded the call and did more than we could have ever imagined. The efforts of every single one of you on this day contributed to the outcome you achieved, but naturally some of you were fortunate enough to just be in the right place at the right time.

This report and announcement serves as a way to make known these, who went above and beyond their duties, remaining brave and steadfest and putting their personal safety second. Central Command wishes to recognize the efforts of these crewmembers specifically and award them appropiately: The crew in question are:

 

Asher, Miner: 

Awarded the Medal of Merit, Second Class, for receiving extensive damage while fending off attacking Solarian Marines, on a hostile ship, which were both heavily armed and determined to stop him and his colleagues from the defusal of a dangerous warhead.

 

Ka’Akaix’Sotis C’thur, Xenoarcheologist:

Awarded the Medal of Merit, Second Class, for disarming a dangerous warhead, while under heavy fire of Solarian Marines on a hostile ship, which were both heavily armed and determined to prevent his successful defusal of a phoron-based warhead of unknown destructional force.

 

And for the first time since it's endowment, crewmember:

Aaila Abdul-Ghani, Atmospheric Technician

is awarded our highest decoration, the Miranda Cross (POSTHUMOUS), for making the ultimate sacrifice and giving her life while fending off attacking Solarian Marines on a hostile ship. Her determination and willpower ensured the successful defusal of the phoron warhead, as well as the survival of her colleagues, all while facing heavy fire from highly trained soldiers. Baron and Baroness Abdul-Ghani will receive the decoration in their daughter's name.

 

There are others who have distinguished themselves and will receive a mention in despatches. A full and complete list about the names of them will be submitted soon after the announcement of this report.

We invite all crew who are not scheduled to work to attend the ceremony on the 23rd of December. More information about this can be found here on the NTNet.
