WING V REPORT 36

WC/LC Proton reporting on 6-23-01 for Wing V aboard the SSSD Sovereign:

WELCOME

***
Leroy and Dude were horsing around in LC Proton's office, and even the normally studious and professional Snippy the probe droid joined in, firing short electrical static blasts at Leroy's feet. The jawa easily dodged the blasts and continued to cavort with Dude, who playfully swung a massive arm at the jawa's head, watching the little creature expertly duck.
"Hmmphh ... these guys are better than the Three Stooges," Proton muttered to himself.
Returning his gaze to the queue of Imperial paperwork at his Holonet station, Proton noticed a red light blinking on the console.
"Hmm, incoming message from Ops. What's this?"
Proton read the title bar of the new communication and raised his eyebrows in curiosity: "Operations Office issues new medal for special ops: MTO."
"The MTO? What the heck is that?" the wing commander mused.
Dude tumbled into Proton's desk, decked by a suddenly vicious take-the-legs-out kick by the compact but tough Leroy. The jawa was rubbing his head where Dude had smacked him a little too hard.
"OK, you morons, that's ENOUGH!" Proton thundered.
He got up off the deck and resumed his chair. The three assistants stood at terrified attention, and Proton pointed up to the Sovereign flight traffic ticker scrolling along the top of the wall.
"Now that your recess is over," Proton told his assistants, "it's time to get to work.
"See the garbage scow scheduled for delivery to the hazwaste incinerators on Aurora?"
The LSD Team quickly exchanged worried looks. They were alarmed by the angry, extra-sinister expression the WC wore.
"Leroy and Dude, you are to go to the traffic control room and create a disturbance," Proton ordered. "... You two are good at that sort of thing, right?" he added with vehement sarcasm.
"Snippy, use the diversion to slip in to alter the manifest. I want that garbage scow re-marked for delivery to the Training Office."
The assistants shuffled their feet (in Snippy's case, his lower probe appendages) in hesitation.
Proton jumped to his feet and roared, "GET MOVING!"
The Team rushed toward the hatch, but stopped short at Proton's screamed command to wait.
Brushing his uniform, Proton calmed and return to his seat.
"I almost forgot one thing," he told the three. "Stop by the commodore's office and pick up the waste recepticles from The Pit and The Tank. You are to add their contents to the scow's payload."
The three again traded anxious looks as they left Proton's office, their departure puncuated by a burst of the WC's cruel laughter.

WING NEWS AND STATUS

- RED ALERT! Wing V vs. Wing I. Fly TC-TIE Battle 163 by June 30.

- RED ALERT II! Wing V Citation Race! Members of the squadron that racks up the most new squadron citations in June will receive ... special medals. I have been unable to get Training Office approval for any sort of medals for this competition. So, we will use the new Wing V Special Events Medal: The Medal of Truculent Opposition (MTO). You will be allowed to display the MTO on your unofficial ID lines, and it should be quite a conversation piece as you meet and greet fellow personnel throughout the ship and fleet. Note: I'm looking for a medal designer to create the MTO for our internal use. Who knows, the winning designer may receive a merit medal for it (no promises, for obvious reasons).

- RED ALERT III! We're facing the Infiltrator Wing's Shadow Squadron in a six-week event. Shadow leads 5-0 :(

- RED ALERT IV! It's the CMDRs of Wings V and I facing each other July 1-21 in the inaugural CMDRs' Cup Challenge! We're flying a TIE battle for interwing command bragging rights! Top scorer in each command group will receive the Iron Star-Bronze Wings.

- Other upcoming major competitions planned:
YELLOW ALERT! July, vs. Wing IV.

ORATORS OF AIRLOCK 21

- Orator of the week: MAJ Wil Striker!
**Defender strolls through the Wing V corridors, amusing himself with
thoughts of his latest "prank". Suddenly out of the shadows a robed figure seizes hold of the young defenseless pilot and hurls him into a nearby doorway. As the pilots eyes adjust to the dim gloom, he sees that he is surrounded by other figures in robes, each one's face obscured by their hoods. Two black clad Stormtroopers step from the sides and seize the now somber pilot as he realizes that he has made a HUGE mistake.
Dragging the "victim" forward, he is shown a pit that contains FA Kramer's prized scorpions. Begging not to be thrown in, he is then shown the stubbly Wookie that has been unshaven for several days. Suddenly a dark voice that can only come from the Dark Side speaks out, but the Defender is unable to tell which figure speaks. "You have are hereby condemned to suffer at the agony of the scorpions or the unending torture of the unshaven Wookie for one week. You may choose which form of punishment you prefer." Defender looks back and forth at both forms of torture through teary eyes, realizing yet again that he may have underestimated the Sith. He slowly parts his lips, and before he can manage the words to make his choice he is cast into the pit of scorpions as the Dark Jedi surrounding him have already read his
mind in advance. As he attempts to stay away from the scorpions he begins screaming for mercy, but taking a chance to turn his attention away from FA Kramer's pets, he notices that there is no one there but the two black suited Stormtroopers who are eagerly watching the interaction of the scorpions and one doomed TIE Corps pilot that has yet to begin his "punishment". :P**" -MAJ Wil_Striker

- More oratory from the past week:

"Hey WC Proton you ok with us going on a rpank spree against wingI cause of that diss e-mail? If you are what is there email list address?" -LT Murkrow Defender

"One of the first duties I expect each of you to perform is to pick your "assistant." Inkwolf has the Wing II Ground Crew (SGT Akela, CPL Melvin, and PVT Squeaker), Sequoh has a pet bantha, Proton uses the LSD Team (Leroy the Jawa, Snippy the Probe Droid, and Dude the Tusken Raider), Wolly has the ATR Silencer for off-Sov operations and throws chairs at you if you misbehave. My minions include the ScorpTroopers (Scorpion Stormtroopers - they live in The Pit), Napoleon my silver electric arowana (lives in The Tank, eats ewoks for snacks), Crusher the Hutt (my secretary given to me by my "friends" in Wing II - still not sure if it's a he or a she), the Spy Rats (you might not ever see them, but they'll see you), the Dark Troopers (don't go near Debriefing Rooms 21 to 30), Fred & Barney (they haven't made an official appearance yet, but they're both have tails), The Guardian (he haunts the lower decks of the Sovereign) . . . hmm, who am I forgetting? Ah well, they'll turn up. :)" -FA Kramer

"**LC Murad Ibn Mark switches off the comm console and turns to his fellow CMDR's with a look of actual fear on his face. A lone figure sits in the shadows of the dimly lit conference room observing the faces and posture of the soon to be decimated CMDR's. The members gathered around the table feel a presence of terror creep over them as they contemplate their upcoming competition against Wing V.**
Never let it be said that Wing V doesn't bring out the worst fears in its opponents. :P" -MAJ Wil Striker

"**LC Murad turns and faces his fellow Wing I commanders...fear flickers across his face. With a gulp he starts to speak**
"Commanders of Wing I, I must confess to feelings of terror and inadequacy. It's this competition with Wing V. I'm just so afraid...afraid they are so inadequate that they won't give us any competition whatsoever...muwahahahaha!!!"
Well, that's enough inter-wing rivalry for one day. I'd better go take my stress pills and lie down for a bit!
Seriously, I'm looking forward to the competition though (shame I'm such a rubbish pilot, though ;-))" -LC Murad Ibn Mark

"well I did bring a tray out, then dropped it. So you sprite ended up on the floor :P Have a Jack Daniels and a fine Cuban Cigar instead." -LC Reaper

"::Wolly, Inkwolf, Proton, and Sequoh all edge noticeably away from Reaper. Crusher the Hutt, until now asleep on it's dais, springs awake::
"Uh-huu . . . Bo Shuda!" cries Crusher while he hits a button installed on it's armrest. The grating under Reaper suddenly drops away (seem familiar?) dropping Reaper into "The Pit."
It's Sprite or nothing, baby. :)" -FA Kramer

"Jack Daniels? Isn't he the unofficial CMDR of Psi Squadron? I believe he filled in for Sasquatch quite awhile ago . . ." -FA Kramer

"Ah yes, "CMDR" Jack Daniels ... nice guy, and he throws great parties.
Just ask Psi ;-)
Remember, if you have to go away for a few days and don't want to bother with an A-CMDR ... Jack will be more than happy to keep your pilots occupied until you return!" -COL Sasquatch

"OK, I'm a baseball fan, so I know the batter returns to the dugout after strike three. I feel like charging the mound, but the guy is throwing spitters and chin music, and this is not worth a bench-clearing brawl." -LC Proton

"::The fans at Sovereign Memorial Stadium cheer wildly as the coach of the Flags comes storming out of the dugout, his red number fourteen on his blue jersey paled by the angry crimson of his face. His clean-up batter, Proton, was just called out on strikes, but the pitch was obviously outside the strike zone.::
Whew, I'm gonna get thrown out . . . " -COACH/FA Kramer/Flag Bench

"WingV members walk down the coridors unsuspecting of the events that are set to occure injust a few minutes.
Sudenly CMDR Striker, LCM Kettch, and his FLs craft all launch with no pilots in them:) then micro explosives go off in there bar stools:) and those stink bugs Striker used on MD were crushed in all there rooms:> and if thet wern't enough MD herded a half dozen ewoks that have not been bathed in a month into each of the reaking rooms:)
*MD gives an evil laugh:) "if that doesn't boost comunications I don't know what will;)"
P.S. don't worry Jason, no corellian penuts were injured in the making of this prank:)" -LT Murkrow Defender

"dam you , you can hurt my pet ewok, destroy my tie, but blow up the bar seats well that is this means war." -LCM Kettch

"Dam, you must have been planing this one for a while...or five seconds...
But, I have an even better prank.. ::pulls his new driver's liscence out of his wallet and holds it above his head:: I AM NOW A REGISTERED WASHINGTON DRIVER!!! If you're going to be around the Seattle/Everett area in the next few years, watch out for a guy in an old, beat-up '78 Ford F-150. That'll be me." -LCM Jason Hunter

"Hey Sickman:) Seeing that school's out I should start flying more:) and I got TIE installed and started the months battle:) only problems is I'm having trouble fitting battles into my busy schedual of waking up at noon, eating and napping the rest of the day:)" -
FM/LT Murkrow Defender

"mmmmmmm Sleeeeeeeeeeeep
SickMan drinks his hot chocolate (with a shot of Whiskey) and gets tucked into bed wearing his Wing V pajarma`s as a Mysterious Slave girl reads him his bedtime story:))" -COL SickMan

"that teatch him not to mess with airlock21 seats." -LCM Kettch

"Good Job it wasn`t Sicky`s comfy seat, it`s taken me years to get that butt print moulded." -COL SickMan

"FA Kramer, strolling along the walkway above The Tank, chuckles at Lieutenant Colonel Sequoh Marden floating on an air mattress below. The Wing Commander of Wing III heads up the Wing with the second fewest number of pilots aboard the Sovereign. Napoleon, Kramer's silver electric arowana is "playing" with poor Sequoh, as he knows if Sequoh falls off the air mattress Napoleon is free to nibble at him.
A beeping from a cylinder attached to Kramer's belt quickly changes his mood, however. "Unauthorized Pit usage? Who would DARE?!?" the Admiral bellows as he races back to the COM's command center.
Quickly reviewing the footage and determining the culprits, Kramer grabs his Brotherhood robes and snaps his lightsaber to his belt. "Just because I'm a Rogue doesn't meant I've forgotten how to use this." After a brief stop at "The Comfy Chair" to pick up Proton, the two members of the Brotherhood of the Sovereign Flag Officers quickly head to the Samekh Squadron barracks . . . >:)
. . . to be continued . . ." -FA Kramer

"Well, Seeing as I am a Sith, and maybe not part of the Sith Brotherhood, I deem it neccesary to prank someone. As I can't find a suitable squadron....
*Tack looks at the three empty Spray paint cans and throws the fourth and final one in the trash.... Hah, Proton won't be shooting many Rebel's with this PINK Tie now!*" -CM Brad Tack

"**Members of Wing V watch in horror as CM Brad Tack, in his flight suit, is strapped to one of the support pylons on Proton's TIE Fighter by the Wing V Assistants. LC Proton comes out in his Dark Brotherhood flight suit, nods at his Assistants, and then climbs into his fighter. Tack can be heard screaming for mercy as Proton launches from the Sov's hangar deck into space and suddenly hypers into a rebel controlled area and enjoys his target practice on the feeble Rebel pilots while Tack is forced to watch dozens of Rebel fighters converge on the Pink TIE Fighter with blasters blazing just past his head.**" -MAJ Wil Striker

"Yes, the Sith kick major Gundark @$$.
And kicking a Gundark's @$$ is hard to do, so only Sith could do it!!" -LCM Jason Hunter
