I lost track of time, and that's on me, but the runoff has concluded, and we have a POTM winner for this month.
Congratulations, Myker Vulbrix!

{August 2021's POTM, by Myker Vulbrix, is in the Mission}Here's what the nominator wrote:
Here's the post itself:
[Myker Vulbrix - Command Center - Serenity]
Myk listened to the response he received from Mac, assuring the Ensign he'd thank their Chief before ending the Communication, who knew if the Raiders also had reinforcements. Mac seems to be gaining the upper hand. They also gave you their thanks for breaking through. He noted, ever stoic and not really emoting, he knew it would be an advantage to have communication with the Mac open.
Of course Myker expected the no from the Trill. "Point taken"
Her pressing words had Myker shooting a glare her way, it was brief and a blink and you'll miss it sort of thing. His features falling quickly to his generic settled look. Even if things were working on his last nerve one would never know and he wouldn't react to it. "His side is losing and he's looking to not die." Myker noted, he had indeed searched the raiders mind but it didn't mean he liked being reminded it was possible nor being made to use it. It would always be his choice. He planned to keep it that way. He also decided how much he'd share.
As he was once again ordered around by their Chief, Myk resisted the urge to roll his eyes like a petulant adolescent, opting for a nod instead. He was attempting to once again shield his mind as Kaya spoke so his focus wasn't entirely on her, his own mind being assaulted by the feelings and thoughts of everyone at once, it was painful since the strong emotions seemed to be radiating out of everyone. He couldn't tell who's thoughts were who's. The static soon returned to his mind which meant he could return his full attention to the Chief.
He didn't offer a verbal response about negotiating a cease fire, he just shook his head. On the Mac or here on Serenity that was definitely not his call to make.
Their mystery raider again called through the door, Kaya quickly made up some lie and it seemed to work. Just as a voice came through the comm, thank goodness for his sober state that at least one of them could remain in contact with the rest of the Mac's crew.
Once the voice came through his comm, Myk was about to respond when Kaya ordered him once again to do something. The Betazoid simply nodded, before tapping on his comm. =/\= Ensign Vulbrix to Baker, we're in the command center. We've made contact with the Mac. There's a raider outside the door, most likely armed, apparently willing to make some kind of deal. Relieve us of him and maybe I can help with getting more information. =/\= Myk spoke into the comm. He trusted the others would manage the interrogation and he hoped they'd get what they needed but he had a special skill set that meant information could be gathered faster although there was a lot of red tape involved.

It's challenging to write a character who is calm and collected with depth. Snoop's way of writing Myk delighted me during this mission.
