This is a crew wide award. I set a goal of posting 80 quality logs by the time I have to file my report on 31 July and the crew of Merlin has not only met that goal but have risen very comfortably above it, and in just one week since the goal was set. Very well done, I'm proud and excited to be sinking with you guys!

USS Merlin, TF72
I am beyond proud to nominate the USS Merlin for the award this month. Once again, they have shown what a crew working together can achieve. Earlier in the month, the Commanding Officer was appointed as Senior Ship Commanding Officer, but that didn’t stop him from posting, and being even more active, taking a great approach to talk to the Commanding Officers in the Task Group to get some ideas flowing and most of the Commanding Officers have really appreciated the extra set of eyes on their website and what they are doing. On the USS Merlin, he challenged his crew to reach 90 “quality” posts over the month, and even with a bandwidth issue and a change of website, they were still able to not just reach that goal (with time to spare), but even that didn’t stop them, reaching 98 posts, and I took the time to read some of those posts, and they are of the best quality, they aren’t just a couple of one-liners to post out to boost the numbers, they are pure quality writing from crewmember after crewmember, and a lot of them are joint posts, showing me that this crew has a sense of family, respect and most importantly; teamwork. They are the epitome of what we should all be looking at for our simulations, and they should all be proud of what they have achieved in four short months that they have been part of Obsidian Fleet! Well done USS Merlin crew!

Cale started out as our Chief Science Officer and eventually was made Merlin XO. During his time as the Chief Science he didn't just focus on his office, he was involved in multiple logs from helping to chart a course to mission 2 to helping the away team plan almost every aspect of the mission. All of this plus his willingness to help and give advice behind the scenes is also why he was selected as the XO
(2O Citation) Right from the start Cale has always gone above and beyond what was required from him, having to cover the Ops station while leaving spacedock. He also helped plan aspects of the upcoming plot and current away mission and even though he initially started out as the Science officer, he has now risen to the challenge of First officer with style and panache. He has also helped with new crew members offering guidance and support both in and out of character. |

The USS Merlin has been an oak for TG72B during the transition of a new TGCO coming in. Captain Barstow has managed to keep up with his duties as SSCO and still motivate his crew to put up great numbers and quality posts. I have been impressed with the resilience of Captain Barstow and his crew. Keep up the great work!

Cal was one of the former members who rejoined the crew after Merlin restarted. He has been nothing but supportive, offering advice and helping carry the plot forward as it stalled. |

USS Merlin: “Commander Barstow has done phenomenally this month, getting his post count way up there with the likes of Archimedes and Pioneer in previous months. He runs a tight ship with some really fun plots, and it’s with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to not only award his sim with the silver UoM but also announce his promotion to Captain. Well done.” (Rear Admiral Oliver Lancaster, TFCO, TF47) |
