Pilot's Lounge
LucasArtsTM has decreed that all appropriate copyrights must be noted, and so they shall be. (Not really, but ah well. :P)
The door slid open and there was Droole, on a platform in the center of a room within the LucasArtsTM building.
There was a large gap between the platform and the door, until I noticed a switch beside me, I pressed it and a bridge extended towards the platform.
"Let's get out of here, Droole!" I said.
"Noo, It's tra-"
Suddenly the background lit up to reveal a large detachment of LucasArtsIHateJarJarBinks guards.
"Haha, you are both under arrest... You must not reveal our secret Episode IITM game plans! Take them to our latest creation... The Episode II Gungan Racing Room!TheTensionIsRising!"
After a short walk, Khadgar and Droole found themselves in the The Episode II Gungan Racing RoomTM, inside two Gungan pods.
We heard a voice, "Have fun, gentlemen, Muhahaha!"
Then a flag was suddenly waved, I quickly hit the accelerator and was off.
I heard from beside me, "Mesa Car Car JinxsupTM, a new Gungan character designed for this game!"
Khadgar pulled out his blaster and shot the creature, he then leaped from his pod to the grass beside the track.
He saw Droole coming up in his car, "Jump Droole!"
Droole jumped out of his car and landed a few feet away from me.
"Lets get out of here!" I said, running away from the track.
Suddenly, I hit what was apparently the wall of the simulator, even though it appeared to go on further.
I raised my blaster and shot the wall to create an exit.
We went through the hole and ran towards an exit, closely followed by guards.
When we got to the end of a corridor, we went right and came outside to a platform, a railing at the end.
I went to the edge and peered down to see a large group of ships parked.
"Okay, Droole, jump towards that soft landing padTM... Which of course just happens to be there."
We jumped onto the soft landing padHey, we needed some way to escape!, and headed towards a nearby transport.
"Do you know how to fly this thing, Khadgar?" Droole asked.
"Um, of course," Khadgar said, taking the helm.
The ship blasted off from the planet and was chased by LucasArts Mark I FightersOhNo!.
"Here they come!" Droole said.
Khadgar veered to the side, approached a fighter, all of a sudden he was right in front of the ship...
"Oh no, they've got a Lag GeneratorTM!" Khadgar said.
To be continued...!
From the Wing XV Monastery:
Update: Pope St. Ricaud I has been brought before a High Inquisition and taken down to Cardinal, thus ending his bid for the Papacy and leaving Pope Ford Prefect II the new Pope of the Holy Aggressor Empire.
And now for another:
Apparently BHG has a new rank called "Cardinal", I wonder where they got that from. *Cough* Rip Off *Cough* :P

War Room
Fiction/Graphics Competition
Deadline: March 25, 2001
URL: http://isdvanguard.emperorshammer.ca/vifc/
Description: General fictions and graphics competition. Submit work to RA Ender MBind (a.c.w.t.zwegers@bk.tudelft.nl) and MAJ Khadgar (dmelenchuk@home.com). At our site, you can view and grade other people's submissions!
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.
