Pilot's Lounge
"Colonel Eras Du'kai!"
Ender mBind watched as Khadgar's transport lifted off on its way to Davitron V.
He looked down to see an astromech droid, "CrazyR2, follow Khadgar, make sure he doesn't get into any trouble."
R2 beeped in agreement and headed off to prepare.
Meanwhile, on Davitron V, Khadgar was enjoying a drink at the local cantina.
"Another Bacardi, please!"
"Of course, sir."
Suddenly, two Rebel guards entered the canteen and approached Khadgar.
"Are you Lieutenant Khadgar?" the first guard asked.
"Uh, yeah." Khadgar replied. "Please come with me."
Khadgar walked outside the bar with the two guards, there was a droid there which projected a hologram.
Khadgar's jaw dropped, "Colonel Eras Du'kai!"
"Surprised to see an old friend? By the way, that's Admiral Eras Du'kai to you!"
Eras looked at my rank badge, "Looks like the TIE Corps actually promotes losers like you, eh?"
"Uh, yeah... Hey, wait!"
"Shut up!"
Eras continued, "So, Khadgar... I finally have you. I just wanted to see you one last time before your untimely demise. Men, take care of the Major. Muahahaha."
The hologram faded and the guards started to lift their guns.
Suddenly, a garbage can sprang to life, it was CrazyR2!
"Hey, you! Hault!" the guard said as he was knocked down.
CrazyR2 extended one of his many contraptions from within his encasing and poked the second guard with an electric force that send him flying back.
The droid beeped and headed down a street, Khadgar followed.
Soon, we came upon a Rebel YT-2000 and boarded it.
"YT-2000 transport 'Packet Loss, interesting name," Khadgar commented, hitting the thrusters.
Eras Du'kai looked out from the window of the CRS Detritus and grinned.
"We almost have Khadgar in our grasp, Operation: Retrieve will be sucessful."
"I'd hope so, Admiral, I don't want any more resources wasted on this personal quest for venegance of yours," Admiral Ackbar responded through the com.
The Packet Loss shook with a thud, CrazyR2 beeped.
"They have us in their tractor beam, it's a trap!"
Suddenly, a group of fighters led by a TIE Advanced came out of hyperspace.
"You hear to help, unidentified Squadron?"
"Oh, hi, Khaddi, this is Major Death of AES. The AES, which I might add stands for Avenger Elite Squadron, meaning that we are Elite, hears your call of distress."
"Will you help?"
"Hahaha! No way, Khaddi!"
"This is just great..."
To be continued yet again.
From the Wing XV Monastery:
Our Pope wishes to speak once again:
"Twinkalicious would like to say that Ford is no more... henceforth you will all call me, Lord Twinkalicious! Twink supposes that all who oppose Pope/Lord Twinkalicious shall be burnt at the stake!"
"Now then, Inquisitor Ender, has Cardinal Khadgar been found?"
"No lord, he is on Davitron V."
"You've all failed!"
"Do not make this mistake again... or you will all be thrown in the river... If you float you'll be declared a witch, if you sink you'll be declared a heretic, do I make myself clear?"
(Cardinal Ender bubbles).
"What are you doing!?"
"I'm bubbling, lord."
"Well, don't! GO FIND KHADGAR!"
"Yes Lord!"

Vanguard Interactive Battle
Next Deadline: Unknown
URL: http://www.gimmie.tudelft.nl/homes/blok10b/ender/vib/
Description: "The Wing XV Commander will add a piece of a story to his wing reports, together with a XWA Mission based on that part of the story. Participating Pilots in the wing send in their pilot files of that mission to their CMDRs - including a short written fictional account of their experiences in the mission. The CMDRs check the pilot files, forward the scores, the reports and their own files to the Commodore and Wing Commander and include the best fiction of their squadron in their weekly reports. The best fiction in the wing will be taken up in the wing report, arranged into "propaganda"-type news coverage. Medals are awarded to the best flying and to the best writing but also to outstanding activity like helping to run this competition. Flying and fiction both influence the story, and so the missions: the Pilots' performance in one mission has consequences on the next mission they'll fly. Making this a true Interactive Battle with a flexible story line, centered around the ISD Vanguard and it's Squadrons."
Status: The first turn winner were rewarded, Ender said he will do the ViB related things in his COM Report. We are in need of XWA Mission designers, contact Ender MBind if interested.
