Vortex Weekly Squadron Report #7

Today is Friday the 31st October 2003        
Last report on Friday the 24th October 2003        

 
Fiction for a good start:

*****ISDII Grey Wolf's main hangar

Escorted by a flight of TIE Interceptors the shuttle with two newcommers aboard arrived.
 
***  Grey Wolf Secret Order of Monks' secret monk chapel

Lots of the cardinal monks were here. MAJ Xavier, MAJ Choosh, MAJ Yoda, CPT JoeyC in the "ceremonial robes" sat at the table. They were just "securing" a bottle of "soft drink". At the moment they were discusting about the secret plan of the GWSOoM. Yes... The 1st December will be the most interesting day of the year. The day when the Plan wil begin will shake the Grey Wolf and the Emperor's Hammer itself. One month remaining to that noble and exciting event. A long lime, lots of "stuff" to do, they had to prepeare everything. Yes... The GWSOoM was indeed powerful.
 
***  Major DarkC's personal quarters
 
Another busy day... Another boring patrol... 5 hours in the fighter and nothing happened... Over 300 minutes in the hot, plastic flightsuit without any food and water. And with a bunch of Tartarus guys around. Each of them was different... but they all seemed to have one objecive - to make himself better than others in the eyes of their Squadron Commadress. It became silly. Today all she wanted to do was to take a long and relaxing shower.
 
***  Grey Wolf's cinema
 
Yes! Yes! The ship was the greatest Imperial Star Destroyer in the Emperor's Hammer fleet - It even had a cinema. However the movies weren't always new and up to date. The cinema made Imperial Navy soliders' lifes more easy. And now one of the officers from the fighter division MAJ Picard watched a movie. the film was an epic story with war, betrayal, love and everything what a good movie needs. But he wasn't here to see the film. He looked at his right. His girlfriend looked at the screen really excited. Yes... It was going to be a long night...

***  Grey Wolf's Combat Chamber

CM Apophis Kuma entered the simulator. He was searching for a mission which would be good for the next round of Grey Wolf Top Gun competition. Last time unfortunately he has chosen a scenario which was not only too hard to finish, also the database was going mad when the scores were submitted. The situation cannot replay in the future. Too many people participated in the competition. It was important! Commander Kuma thought about it while he loaded another mission. This time he will choose an excelent battle.

*** Grey Wolf.... somewhere

Commander Laserlight was lost. 9 months on the Grey Wolf and he should already know all the corridors at the ship. But unluckly he didn't. He was on the way from the Training Hall. After a hour of meditation which was a part of the Dark Brotherhood training he lost the orientation. He looked at the timer. he should meet with his Executive Officer ten minutes ago. What a mess.

*** Grey Wolf's main hangar

The shuttle landed safely on the deck. After few seconds the ramp opened. Two pilots in dress uniforms left the shuttle carrying bags with their stuff. No one was expecting them.

*** Grey Wolf.... somewhere

Keiran stopped in the middle of the corridor by the door which looked like each other door therer. But something, a hidden instinct ordered Keiran to choose that passaage. He pushed the button on the wall. The door opened. Somehow he entered the Main Hangar. The noise of the ships, mechanics and assistant staff filled CM Laserlight's ears. He seemed very confused.

*** Grey Wolf's main hangar

"Someone should await for us here" SL Tiamat said

"Let's ask somebody what to do... See that CM there at these door? Excuse me, sir! Where can we ask for the squadron assigment?" - SL Ambar Kilick took the iniciative.

Asked Commander looked really confused. He seemed to be lost or something...
 
... Who are these two? Hmm... Hey look like they arived with that Shuttle there... And they are wearing Sub-Lieutenant insignia... They must be new pilots form the Daedalus... I wonder which squadrons will they join. He looked around... hmm... interesting... the new pilots were usually welcomed aboard by their new Squadron Commander who was always showing them their quarters, the Combat Chamber, COM's and WC's office, the cantina and the other more or less important rooms. No other CMDR is here... Keiran smiled...

... Officer bearing CM's insignia smiled.
 
"There is no need of that boys. My name is CM Keiran Laserlight and I am your new Squadron Commander. Your new squadron is named Vortex. Remember that! Vortex. And now, follow me and I'll show you the ship!" - Keiran said. - "This room here as you can see is our main hangar..."
 
Vortexian Leader's Office:

Busy, busy week! Our squadron's activity rises and I am proud of it. Some of us flown a bunch of missions and passed several courses. That's what we exacly need.
Two new members joined the squadron. And they are both Lieutenats today! Give a warm welcome to Ambar ant Tiamat. Have a lot of fun in the squadron. 
Ship's crew is at 50 now. And the fifth part of it are the Vortexians. We're the biggest squad in the biggest wing!
Not many happened this week in the fleet. Check the news if you're intrested. Check them if you're not too.

Vortex CMDR's EH site of the week:

Another week, another sit.. they are ending slowly... Today let's stop fro a second at

Emperor's Hammer Image Archive

http://ia.emperorshammer.ca/

We know each other from the IRC or e-mail corespondency... Have you ever thought about how we really look? Check out hundrets of pictures of the fellow EH members! I bet you'll find some of your friends there!


CMDR's Final Notes

When I was writing the report I just came back from the soccer match of our local team called Lech. Both Vance and I are the big sports fans (well actually I am) so we're spending 90 minutes a week at the stadium as the audience. And we're singing... And when I am back home I can't say a word... We're with our club for good and bad... As  long we'll be together with Lech it's spirit won't fade out... The TC is similar... We're a great community which consists of great men connected by their favourite games and movies... As long we're together the spirit of TIE Corps won't disappear. Keep together ! You'll never walk alone!


I am really sorry for all grammar, language, stylistic, letter etc. mistakes.
