"Droole!"
The ISD Intrepid entered the sector.
"Thank goodness," Khadgar said in relief
"Khadgar, you goof ! I can't believe you got captured !" Major Brakka said in his usual tone.
"As I recall, you got captured a number of times as Valkyrie Commander..." Khadgar replied.
"That's enough out of you ! ASP Squadron, launch !" Brakka said.
"This is Major Astin, engage the enemy at will," Astin said over the comlink.
"Sir, they're launching X-Wings!" one of the pilots replied.
"This is PHP Squadron, stand down or prepare to fight."
"What kind of name is PHP Squadron?"
"It stands for PHP Hypertext Preprocessors."
"Well, what does the PHP in PHP Hypertext Preprocessors stand for?"
"It stands for PHP Hypertext Preprocessors."
"Whatever... stay in attack formation, men."
"This is Major Brakka, I am issuing the recall order, there is too many of them... Sorry Khadgar !"
"Ah well," Khadgar said. Just then, a man with a red face in Imperial uniform was in front of my cell.
"Droole!" Khadgar said. "Khadgar, good to see you, it's been awhile."
"It certain has, mind getting me out of here?"
"Oh, sure."
Droole pressed a red button across from my cell and the doors slid open.
Meanwhile, on the bridge, Eras Du'kai was at his command post.
"Sir, Khadgar has escaped from his cell!"
"Whhhhhhhhhaaaaatttttt!?" Eras said, furious.
"Send a detachment of guards down... If he escapes... you will be reduced to small fragments smaller than the Jar Jar Binks fan club, do I make myself clear?"
The guard gulped, "Perfectly clear, sir."
"We've got to move fast, they've sounded a general alert," Droole said. "Hault! You, I need some ID." A Rebel Guard said.
"I am Lieutenant..."
Droole had a moment where he thought he was quite clever, he decided to make his name the guard's name backwards.
"Lieutenant Bob! That's right!"
"Wow, that's amazing, my name is Bob as well! You are cleared!"
"That was quick thinking, Droole," Khadgar said.
"All in a days work for a guy like me..."
To be continued... You knew it would happen! :P
From the Wing XV Monastery:
Cardinal Ender dressed for duty.
"Have you found Cardinal Khadgar?" Pope Twinkalicious said.
"No Lord..." Cardinal Ender responded.
"Hah Hah Hah... All right... poke him with the soft cushion!" Twink said.
"Noooo!" Ender said.
Ender winced as he was poked by the soft cushion... He had a plan.
"He's escaping in a massive... Bubble!?"
From Major Khadgar: This will be the future home of the ASF Propaganda Office. Shortly I will be establishing an office and doing recruitment. Our goals will be to give ASF a positive image and to recruit pilots... With some kind of reward. I'll send out an E-Mail fairly shortly.

You may not skip more than one mission. You may NOT skip Free Missions. You may NOT skip a mission just because you do not want to fly it.

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.
