Pilot's Lounge
Note: Kyrat Squadron is based on a typo Brakka made while announcing the Wing XIV WC's Own. :P "All your base are belong to us" and the various other quotes are from a poorly translated game called "Zero Wing"... See http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~pyang/base/allyourbase.swf for further details. :P
The shuttle sped out of the docking bay of the CRS Detritis.
Khadgar looked over at Droole, "So, how are things on the Intrepid?"
"Oh, pretty good, I've been assigned to the Grand Admiral's Elite Special Ops Squadron, Kyrat Squadron!"
"Really?"
"Yeah, it is great, although I keep seeing this weird Purple Guy..."
"That would be MAJ Brakka-"
The ship rocked with a sudden jolt, the view screen was replaced by a picture of...
"Eras Du'kai!"
Droole spit out something that he was drinking and apparently it short circuited the comlink to make the comlink go funny...
"HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN !!"
"Um, hi."
"ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US"
"What?"
"YOU ARE ON THE THE WAY TO DESTRUCTION"
"What, you say?" Droole commented.
"YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE MAKE YOUR TIME."
"What the heck is this guy on about?" Khadgar said.
"HA HA HA HA..." Eras Du'kai said before his image faded from the screen.
"Oh no, I've lost control of the ship, we're headed for that asteroid!" Khadgar said.
"Look, the asteroid, it's opening!" Droole said
Droole thought a moment and said, "I'm calling in Kyrat Squadon."
Droole pushed various buttons on the screen and a man with blue skin and red eyes appeared in a crisp, white uniform on the screens.
"This is Droole. Ronin, we need Kyrat Squadron to help us, we are under attack!"
"Droole, they will be with you shortly...!"
Ronin's image faded from the screen.
Suddenly a voice came over the comlink... "KYRAT SQUADRON!"
This voice was followed by a "FOR GREAT JUSTICE!"
Afraid so... To be continued :P ALL YOUR SLEEPLESS NIGHTS ARE BELONG TO US
From the Wing XV Monastery:
Ooops.
Cardinal Khadgar has been cast out of the Holy Aggressor Empire... Hence...
Cardinal Khadgar - Freelance Cardinal!

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.
