TARTARUS SQUADRON
WEEKLY SQUADRON REPORT
SPECIAL EDITION
28.11.2003
CMDR/LC DarkC

Salute
This is the kind of report I’ve been dreaming to write for a long time:)
This week really made me believe that things really can be better.
A lot of good things happened and …hehe…surprise!…I had no bad news…which is a very good thing:P

COMMANDER’S OFFICE
LT DJ Gilpin and COL Zippy Hawk joined our squadron which made me see my dream come true…we have a full roster!!!:)
I would first like to welcome both of them here and tell them that I’m really glad to have them here:P
Secondly, hmmm..i said there would be nothing bad…well…I already heard some complaints or warnings about these two pilots. To be honest, I had a very long talk to each of them and I really think they are good guys (of course untill proven the contrary which I hope won’t happen) and I have no doubts about my decision to have them here.
I want to remind you all that each person has he’s own personality and you have to be able to understand each of them and take them as they are, mainly trying to see the good parts in each of them,couse everyone of us has he’s good and bad parts. Even I am not perfect:P On the other hand pls remember that we’re all different even if you consider the fact that the age of pilots we have is between 15 and 35 years…how can a 15 year old kid be as mature as a 35 years old man or woman ?(/me smiles)
So ,all I’m asking of you guys is to remember we’re here on the same ship , therefore on the same side. Try to act like mates and friends instead of enemies ok? Please! If you do not get along well with one of the other pilots, simply ignore him and leave him be. If he is really doing something wrong, then please let his CMDR deal with it.
SC is coming soon , so we have to get together rather than having problems on irc or elsewhere.
I personally think that DJ and Hawkie are exactly what Tartarus was missing lately…fun and activity so I am really happy to have them here.


NEWS
1. Grey Wolf is the Bigest ship in the fleet, now at 61 pilots!
2. Welcome LT DJ Gilpin, COL Zippy Hawk, CM Markus Caine and SL Dverol on our ship!

Fiction
Finally I think this section will be full every week from now on:P
Hawkie already sent me some fiction he wrote and I really liked it:P
But as obviously the fiction was wrote before he joined Tartarus, so it’s mostly about Vanguard and because it is very long, I won’t print it in this report.
Still I’ll attach it so those of you who are interested can read it. Btw, maybe it’s not a good idea to learn a bit more about the Vanguard since we’ll be facing them in SC:)
POETRY CORNER

WING XIII
By LC DarkC

I wake up every morning thinking about you
You changed my life from what it’s been
I love to be with you and there is nothing I can do,
In fact I love to be in Wing XIII.

You are the friends that I’ve been praying for,
You’re both the kindest and the toughest men I ‘ve ever seen
You gave me all your love and I can’t ask for more,
All I can say is that I’m proud to be in Wing XIII.

Now there will be a competition coming
And as I know you, I am sure you know exactly what I mean,
It doesn’t matter how, by cursing or by singing
The winner of this competition has to be the Wing XIII.

You are the BEST! It’s something never to forget
You can’t deny, you are unique and that I’ve seen
All you have to do is put away any trouble or regret,
It’s time to prove exactly who we are! Let’s get together! WIN with Wing XIII.



LAST THOUGHTS
Well guys, right now you have a very happy CMDR, make sure it stays this way:P
I think it’s a good time for a party, don’t you?
You know where…join me and have fun!
Congratulation to all of you for the way you served this squadron so far!
Ah…lol…and please make sure you stay in touch!!!

Long live Tartarus!
Long live Grey Wolf!

“Never know what you’ve got till is gone…”

Respectfully submitted,
CMDR/LC DarkC/Tartarus.
