Time of Commendable Act: Horizon Ship Time 01:30 05/07/2467

Real Time: (0130 UTC 05/07/25)

Location of Act: HES Pelée

Overview:

The Horizon was requested to report to the HES Pelée, a shuttle repair station on the edge of Burzsia to assist the crew with repairs. Unbeknown to the crew at the time due to heavy damage in the station's alert system, the station's fusion reactor had been leaking coolant at an alarming rate. When it became clear that a meltdown was imminent, Bradley Knight and Katia Ilina attempted to restablize the reactor while the Horizon and Pelée crew largely evacuated to avoid the blast and radiation.

The reactor chamber was heavily irridated already, resulting in severe radiation poisoning for both personnel, especially Bradley Knight. They were able to repair the hull breach in the chamber and the coolant injection, preventing the meltdown and stablizing the reactor. They undertook this ordeal under immense danger and risk, and their actions helped save at least the HES Pelée, and potential the lives of many of their fellow crew members.

Additional Notes: As both employees are employed by Hephaestus, corporate would like to extend a medical leave payment bonus to Bradley Knight, and a smaller bonus to Katia Ilina.
