CM Talon Drear, reporting in for Aleth Squadron's weekly squadron report.


- Personal News -

Hey all, after a minor case of foodpoisoning (yes I ate the fish, stupid me :p) I returned to active duty to be pleasantly surprised by a surge of activity from one of my pilots. Pokemaster, there isn't a better way you could've made me feel better after a period of sickness. (Keep this up and there's something nice and shiny in it for you ;-p) *Talon rumbles through his stuff* Now where did I leave that chocolate egg silver wrapping...


- Squadron News -

With the FO willing we'll have a new pilot coming to join us! LCM Tatsu hailing from Wing XVIII on the Avenger. Let's give him a big Sov welcome! With Pokemasters newfound activity and possibly more fresh pilots incoming, Aleth squadron's future is looking that much more brighter. What would really make my year is if the rest of you would start doing stuff. Anything, absolutely anything you want. Fiction, missionflying, mission creation, IRC activity, Messageboard activity, E-mail activity. As long as it indicates you're spending some time on the squad. I need to remind the majority of you that you're dangerously close to being AWOL'ed. If you seriously think you don't have time to pop on IRC once a week, or at the very least send me a weekly e-mail then request a transfer to the reserves.

No, really.. no easter eggs in this report =P








The pushy type eh?






Gah, fine. I'll put one in




Aleth Squadron - Easter Egg #2

Two old men
Part I: Hollycombe Park
In the shadow of two large oaks a wrinkled hand hovers above a chessboard, hesitating slightly before picking up a wooden pawn. The hand, along with the bony wrist, disappear into the sleeve of an old suite, very old indeed. Coffee stains blot out any sign of the shirt ever being white, and the red tie hasn’t been its old colour for many years. Yet the face above the clothes seems very different. Wrinkled like the old mans hands but with a healthy colour to it. The top of his long pointy nose and his cheeks go red every so now any then. His bushy white eyebrows lift as a big smile crosses his furrowed face.

‘Pawn to D5.’

The second old man sitting opposite him is a bit heavier in build. Flabby cheeks roll up and down every time he laughs. He’s wearing almost identical clothes, the only difference being a faded green tie instead of a faded red tie.

‘Hmm...wasn’t it my turn?’

He raised an eyebrow at the four or five white pieces in the middle of the board, while all his black pieces seemed to be in their starting positions.

‘Eh? Hmm.. no Roger you just had your turn, remember?’

He couldn’t remember, but nodded his head anyway. He must have moved a piece if Eugene said so. Strange.. his memory always seemed to work fine..

‘So now it’s my turn right?’

‘What?’ Eugene cupped his hand behind his left ear and leaned closer.

‘I said, now it’s my turn.’

‘Oh, I thought you might have said that,’ Eugene pointed to his right ear, ‘damn wind, can’t hear a thing.’

Roger smiled and looked at the trees around them – not one leaf twitched.

‘Right.’

‘What?!’

‘Never mind – knight to F6.’

While Eugene was thinking about his next move Roger started to stare at things for a while – old people like to stare. They think it makes them look thoughtful, and they can prove to themselves that they don’t have the attention span of a four year old.

‘ga-ga-ga-GAGAGA!’

‘Woaah..’

His staring interupted. A frustrated Roger looks around him for the source of the sound – he finds a little baby looking up at him.

‘Hmmm.’

He stares at it for several minutes. The baby, of course, thinks Roger is trying to make funny faces at him, and woddles over to him.

‘ga-ga-GAGA?’

Roger’s eyes nearly bulge out of his head and he screams.

‘Germans!! All around us!! Artilary!! Infantry and Panzer’s!! DIE YOU BASTARDS DIE!! Yes sir, the town is secure. We encountered some resistance near Cherbourge, fourteen troops surrendered. Thank you sir how many times have I told you NO DAMN SUGAR WITH MY TEA!!’

Many a shocked face and gaping mouth was turned towards their table. Somewhere, near one of the mummie’s, a sobbing child could be heard.

‘Did you say something?’ asked Eugene.

‘I.. don’t think so.’

‘Oh good! Then it’s my turn!’
