"What should I do with these?" he said to himself. He pushed a button on his comlink. A female voice answered.
"Yes?"
"Ensign get me the Employee Office."
"Yes sir" she replied.
Suddenly a male officers voice came from the comlink.
"Employee Office. Sergeant Doyle."
"Sergeant, any news about the missing Mantis pilots?" Leeson asked.
"No sir." came the reply "No sign of them."
"Thank you sergeant. Leeson out."
Leeson leaned back in his chair. One could see that he is about to make a hard decision. He took out a datapad from one of the many drawers of his desk and started to write the letters AWOL ...
Wing news:
This month's paintjob of the ISD II Vanguard is Metallic Yellow with Black racing stripes
Hornet squadron is opened. Congratz to CPT CrazyR2 on becoming Hornet CMDR.
A new wing competition is running untill the 31st of August.
Here are the details:
It's finally approved! Ok...here's the deal:
I have a new wing comp and it is starting today, it involves flying TC-XWA #1. You will all have till aug 31st. IS-SW for top scoree and IS-BW for runner up. Also, there will be a fiction comp on this mission as well. Please send all pilot files to myself for I will be using the BSF form to get scores. Also, there are squadron nicks and mottos at stake. The best averaging squadron gets to name the lowest scoring one. The command staff (me, Ender and Cyric) will count as a group as well. If we (the command staff) get a better average than the entire wing...we get to rename your mottos and nicks, just to make things interesting :)
Please foward this to all your pilots and let the battle begin!
WC/MAJ Strahd/WING XV/ISD Vanguard
I would like to ask everyone to fly that mission. We can perform quite well but we need to act as a team. Go Mantis!!!
There is a quick competition running too:
Here are the details:
Yes! It's a surprise competition! And its a fun and easy one to participate in too! Read the info and realize that what you have to do can take even less effort then writing the intro of this mail was to me. But it does offer you to enter a new word of "Star Wars Journalism." You can be one of the Vanguard's reporters and write about last sunday's Pod Race or even do small adds for new parts for your speederbike....

Articles can be anything, from Interviews, horoscopes, cartoons to short sports articles about your squad winning the bowling contest. Graphics like Adds or Photographs of "News Events" are fine too ofcourse - Anything that makes a newspaper a newspaper.
Participants are to keep in mind that this is a FICTIONAL, Black and White tabloid sized newspaper based in the Star Wars Universe. Also, text fills these pages up pretty fast. Your articles don't need to be very long, check the earlier editions for examples. Participants are allowed to enter articles as many times as they want.
Articles will be judged by the COM and the Chief Editor. All usable articles will be used in the paper. (though with large participation we might keep some on file for next issues.) Mail all articles to CM Leeson (Chief Editor), cc VA mBind
Have fun:)
