Congratulations to Kova Sh'qaleq for winning POTM!
{Information about the winning post is here}Here's what the nominator wrote:
Here's the post itself:
Kova's eyes narrowed at Gates as he began to explain that he was simply doing his job. Her head tilted slightly as her attention focused on the side of his face rather than his eyes. Her blue fingers moved so quickly, that she was certain he didn't realize what had happened until she had flicked the tip of his ear. "Round, not pointed," she said. Vulcans were the only people that seemed to crave any sort of apathy. It was strange that this human was oblivious to his affect on that man.
"He's terrified," said Kova. The fact that she was paying more attention to the man's emotional state than Gates was unsettling even for her. "You explaining how he may or may not die isn't helping. You don't have to lie... just be less forthcoming with the truth." It seemed like an adequate proposal in the Andorian's estimation. "Be... optimistic. It's what you pink-skins excel at, right?"
There was another shudder of the ship. This wasn't an extended conversation that the pair of them could carry. The server may require more attention, but even if he didn't, there were likely others that needed Gates' expertise. The looming glow beyond the viewport, however, was a silent reminder that all of this could be for nothing. Still, optimism... it was the pink-skins' forte. Maybe it'd actually pay off for once.

This was some quality Kova humor. She manages to be snarky and kind at the same time, her concern showing through her icy exterior.
