Freelancer would like to help you better appreciate Thanksgiving by
donning a huge turkey suit and walking up to the breifing podium
gobbling all the way.

"Hhhhhaaaaaapppy Turkey Day!"

We've got a gobbling good squadron report in store for LAMBDA
squadron today! Mike's unfortunately eaten the pumpkin pie mix
without proper preparation (he may not have heard of the 7 P's), and
in the brain fever that followed he placed me in charge!

.... Of the LAMBDA report, that is! (Made you gasp! Made you gasp!)

Yup, so as Mike is shipped off to the medical frigate for better
attention, I'm standing here, all turkey-tights and big foam feet and
all, and tormen-- "briefing" you.

LAMBDA Flight status:

It's slow, folks. Despite the problems with the database (and before
that the TC webpage), we will bounce back to our previous peak. The
only problem is we're gonna take a little collective pause as most of
us gorge on turkey and then celebrate Christmas. Rest assured, Wing I
is on the way back to what it was. Keep that in mind, and any extra
bit helps.

LAMBDA Joke status:

I think it's fairly safe to say I'm a serious guy, (*looks at self,
wearing turkey suit*), umm, but I've been known to do a joke or two,
right?

Well, I've patched into the Epsilon rec room camera feed, and let's
watch as I press the magic button here in my hand-sized detonator
switch, which will let loose the dozen scorpion grenades I've placed
in strategic spots in Epsilon's barracks!

*CLICK*

What the?

*CLICK* *CLICK* *CLICK*

Grrr... Okay... It's not working. So maybe next time I'll have a
prank that works. Hey, Pheonixus, what the HECK IS THAT BEHIND
YOU?!?!? Made you look! .....

Yes... I shall now hang my head in shame, and revoke my title as
"squadron prankster" (unofficial) for that sorry excuse of a joke.
But keep one thing in mind: Pheonixus fell for it! Hah!

LAMBDA Competitions:

Whimpering Winds Round 3 begins December 2nd and lasts until December
15th! LAMBDA is paired up against the formidable Epsilon squadron.
No, no, really. We're going to have to actually try to win this one.
It's not going to be a complete cakewalk, but I will supply some sort
of snack food to which you must walk.

TIE-Free 208
XvT-Free 101
XWA-Free 79

TAKE NOTE:

1) TIE Free 208 is Talons Pride's mission! So we MUST fly it, just to
show that we care about other wing members! Right? Right? (That's
only logical, yes?)

2) THREE FREE MISSIONS! How easy is that? Now ONLY do you get two
weeks, so that gives you folks returning from Thanksgiving trips a
chance to fly, but we've also got less than half the flying we needed
to do before! No battles, just three free missions!

3) "Pilots earn one extra point for their squadron for rating the
missions." Log on to the TC webpage and go to the mission compendium
and RATE AND REVIEW the missions after you fly them. Earns us
super-neat-O points!


Sovereign Comp to End all Comps (SoCTEC? Hey, I knew my socks were
high tech, but this is ridiculous!):

It's in the works. Da man Proty-- that is to say "the honorable and
esteemed SovCOM Proton" (please don't hurt me!)-- says he's going to
work on it this weekend and pitch it to somebody to see how viable it
is (as far as widespread never-before-done kinda of competitions go).

This will probably run from December thru to January, or start in
January and last til February (so I'd imagine - these are estimates
mind you).

LAMBDA Other Stuff:

Now, LAMBDA, I know this is the slow time of the year because of
things like winter break for those of you in college, or Thanksgiving
or Christmas, or whatever. However, I must stress to you that if you
are going to be inactive, on vacation, or wherever, let your
commanding officer know! Would I joke about this? (*said while
standing in a turkey suit*)

Now, LAMBDA, I know that tryptophan may be coursing through your
veins now (depending on how many helpings of turkey you went back
for, and again, and again, and again, like I did), but let me stress
that people with "turkey on the brain" should hesitate, and rethink
the situation should they happen to see wild turkeys running around
the ship. People, these are illusions, caused by too much food, and
too much thought on the succulently sweet turkey meat which we love
and enjoy. So please, eat wisely. Should you happen to see a turkey
where a fellow officer one stood, and it's talking to you in that
officer's voice, you're just seeing things. (*remembers that he is
wearing a turkey suit*) *cough* ahem.. So, moving on..


In summary:

TIE-Free 208
XvT-Free 101
XWA-Free 79

Fly them by the 15th of December! Review/rate them!


I am in a turkey suit! Gobble gobble!


Füd is güd


Oh, and LAMBDA must crush Epsilon. Mustn't forget.
