TARTARUS SQUADRON
WING XIII of ISD GREY WOLF
WEEKLY SQUADRON REPORT
NR.14
by CMDR/CPT DarkC



Hello again...
Well....what can i say?...WE DID IT!!!!...lol
From the final results VA Kadgar sent me,as well as from our WC's report it seems we did achieve our goal...we won !!:))
And we also reached our internal goal...yes folks...Tartarus is # 3!:)
And all this thanks to you guys. I wanna congratulate you all again.
Beside that i think this is going to be the shortest report i ever made. And that's because there was no activity here this week.
I told you in my last WSR that you're free this week.....lol....i think this is the first order that was obeyed by every single one of you...hehe.
Anyway....let's try and go on with what's left of this report.:P


RECRUITMENT


To be honest i'm not that sure that recruitment is such a priority right now.We still have some new pilots that didn't yet get aquanted with the
squad...and what we need the less is inactive pilots .Things will get back to normal i'm sure,but for now i think we should concentrate more on
training our new pilots than recruiting new ones.


NEWS
1. What can be the most important news? Any guesses..lol...
ASF SCIII is over and we have the final results:)
Tartarus did the best it could do considerring the number of pilots in the squadron.
Yes folks,we did it....we're #3:)
Here are the results :

Squadrons:
Crusader - 4657
Odin - 4440
Tartarus - 2310
Phoenix - 1830
Vortex - 1741
Valkyrie - 803
2. I would also like to congratulate the real winners of this competition...Crusader and Odin squadron.Congratulations...you really are top
squadrons!:)
And i also want to congratulate all the other CMDR's and of course all the pilots for the great work they all did:)
And last but not least i would like to thank our COM VA Khadgar and our WC LC Azazel for their help and especially for their patience for
answerring the most stupid questions i asked....lol. Thanks again!
3. CM Sarin and MAJ Janson made some proposals about some new competitions between our squarons. I took the liberty of saying that we're
in. I think another competition will be great. Anyway,there are alot of details to talk about,but i want you all to stay tunned and be ready for another
challange anytime.It will give us a great chance to prove that the results in ASF SCIII weren't an accident...lol...and it will give the chance to those
of you who didn't do as much as you should in that competition to show what you're capable of:)
4. Unfortunatelly i also have a very sad news. Flight 3 FL of Vortex squadron,LT Jastor died in a car crash last weekend.I don't know how many of
you really knew him,but he was a great pilot and most of all he was one of us. I think words are not good enough to express what we feel....We will
always remember you Lieutenant!

FICTION
Not much of a fiction this week...only something i wrote and i wanted you to read. You're not forced to like it...lol
CMDR's SECRET
by CPT DarkC

Chrissy felt that the whole world was falling apart. yet she found the strenght to help Vulcan get up.
"Please calm down Vulc and tell me what this is all about.And please start with the beginning."
Vulcan told her about the strange meeting he had with Tom,hoping she'll tell him that it actually didn't happen and it all was just a nightmare.
She stood up and looked him in the eyes
"Tom is not dead, i can feel it, but he's in big danger! It's up to us and of course very much up to him to bring him back among us. But first of all we have to get him
out of there and very fast. Before it really get's too late."
Vulcan was starring at her. She sounded very confident in what she said, even though he didn't understand a word. He wanted to say something when she turned
around and said
"Get the squadron ready imediatelly,we're getting Tom out of there!"
"Right away captain! was all that Vulc was able to say as he ran out the door to gather the pilots.
.............................................................................................................................................................
Well,here was supposed to be the part about the mission of rescue,but Vulc said we shouldn't interfear with Tom's story...lol....and maybe he's right...so we'll just
skip the rescue mission...lol
.............................................................................................................................................................
All the ships entered hangar.Tartarus was back. Once again in complete formation.
"Be carefull guys...bring him to the nurcery room."
Tom was now laying on the bed connected to breathing apparatus.
Chrissy took his hand and checked his pulse. His heart was beating, but very slowly.
She looked at the others and smiled."He's gonna be ok.But now it's only up to him."
They were all looking at her hopping she'll tell them more and explain what she ment.
"OK, she said, go get some bears. It's gonna be a very long night.
They all sat down near Tom's bed,while Chrissy took his hand and said:
"I've come back from the deads once myself. I know how it feels.Just don't give up.All you have to do is want to live!"
She raised her head and saw all the others starring at her.They were absolutely confused.
"Well, i guess it's time i tell you more about myself...
It's obvious you don't know a lot of things about me. Actually i think there are alot of things we don't know about eachother. Most of us joined TC to escape from
reality or to try and forget some things that happened to us.
Well, my story isn't that complicated. I fell inlove four years ago with a man i met on irc. It was more than a love story.We've been together everyday, but only
through the computer. We even made plans to get married. It seemed that nothing will ever keep us apart. But it just wasn't ment to be. He lives oceans away and no
matter how much we tried we weren't able to be together. I never even met him. My family was completly against this relationship,there were a lot of arguments and
threats,but i just didn't wanted to give up. Till one day...it happened. He got tired of promisses and plans over the internet. He just wanted something real and i
couldn't give it to him. We broke up but i never stoped loving him. I was desperate. I thought life isn't worth living anymore.Nothing seemed to matter to me,nothing
made sence. I started drinking trying to forget. All i wanted was to be dead and end that pain. Finnaly i ended up in a hospital half dead. I saw death with my own
eyes that night and trust me it's not such a pleasant sight. I thought to myself "So this is it? Well i don't like it,and afterall how will i be able to fight for my love if i'm
dead?" And i oppened my eyes.
I felt a stronger person since,even though the pain is still there.
Then i tried to move on. I joined TC and here i found you guys. The best friends i ever had. And life started to seem beautifull again.
I found a perfect reason to be alive and i want to thank you all for this.
You see? We all have another side of our lives. But we're officers god damn it! We are fighters,we can't give up that easy.
She stoped. Tom squeezed her hand. She looked at him and smiled. "Welcome back captain!"
He opened up his eyes and said
"Would someone please get this silly machine off me? For heaven's sake i'm not a vegetable,i'm an imperial officer!"
They all started to laugh.
Vulcan said:"Oh yes,this is Tom alright..."
Once again life has defeated death.
Love can put you through hell,but most of the times it makes life worth living.


POETRY
Well...i told you somethings about my secret...this week i'll just let you read one of the poems i wrote one year ago....

" I believe in miracles"

Where did you come from angel?
What great miracle brought you to life?
How come i found true love insted of just a perfect stranger?
How long will this lonelyness cut like a knife?
You must have come from heaven
Following the bright rainbow in the sky,
The rainbow i imagined when i tried to fly
And reach the unique feeling of pure love
Praying for a miracle to happen
A miracle that could only come from up above.
I look up to the sky and now i know
My wishes have been heared and became true
Couse noone else but you can love me so
And all i know is that THE MIRACLE IS YOU!
And i believe in miracles,remember?
It was you who tought me 'bout three years before:
No matter what,NEVER ACCEPT SURRENDER
And always fight for what is yours and even more!
I listened and i'll keep listenning to you
Now i can tell all people that i know
That anywhere i am and anywhere i go
I love you so much Drew!
And i believe in miracles because you always make them true
In fact there's something else you ought to know
MOST WONDERFULL OF ALL THE MIRACLES IS YOU!!!!

BATTLES TO FLY NEXT WEEK

As i said staring from next week we'll hunt citations again...lol
So there still are some battles i told you to fly before and you didn't...pls do them.
Anyway...i'll update the orders on monday as usual:)

FINNAL THOUGHTS
I said it before,but i'll repeat it...we did a great job last month and we proved what we're capable of.
Yet...there's much more out there for us to gain.
I was abit dissapointed in some of the pilots durring last month and i won't name them....you know better.
I think this is the right time to prove that was only an accident and to show to all the rest who you really are. I still love you very much and i believe
in you. Don't let me down!

LAST MINUTE NEWS
Well..this time i have a good news and a very sad one:(
The good news is that we have a new member...CM Cobolt which i'd like you all to welcome as ussual and make him feel like home. So Tartarus
is now at 10 pilots!:)
The sad news is the one i already told you before .It concernes the loss of one of our dear friends, LT Jastor. I know life can be so unfair
sometimes and i also know there is nothing any of us can do to fight our destiny. But as always, the terible loss of a friend hurts us all. I know
there isn't much we can do about this and words fade in front of pain but we have to make sure LT Jastor will be remembered for the great pilot
and especially for the special friend he was. Pilots of Tartarus, please raise and have a moment of silence in his memory!
