- SQUADRON NEWS -

Still looking for a Flight Leader for Flight II. Those of you who bothered to reply to me with your opinion of this matter-Thank you. I have posted a notice on the recruitment Message board. Please go there and help the thread by adding your two cents worth on the subject. If no one applies soon I may have to just appoint one of you to the position in order to keep the higher-ups off my case.

CPT Derek Dan has won the Zhaim Jifarr Promotion Party Competition. I'm a little disappointed by the general lack of response to this, my first, competition, especially considering how short I set the length requirement, but it let Derek win with no competition. Wait. No competition for a competition. Sounds a bit oxymoronic, doesn't it? Anyway, Derek expect a shiny new IS-BR in your mailbox soon. And his winning story can be enjoyed by all a little later in this report.

CPT Drako is on leave for two weeks. I think I remember overhearing him say something recently about planning a trip to some pleasure planet, so he probably will not be thinking of us while he's gone, but maybe he'll bring back some nice holorecordings.

Tactical Directive #2 - EHBL
13:34 - FA Marcin Szydlowski [tac@emperorshammer.org]
Starting November 1st, 2003, every Emperor's Hammer pilot is ordered to use Emperor's Hammer Battle Launcher. Any High Scores achieved without EHBL will be rejected. Until November you have time to report any bugs and EHBL problems to SCO and TAC, so we will fix them quickly.

Emperor's Hammer Battle Launcher Released!
07:22 - AD Ender mBind [mindb_ender@hotmail.com]
After years of being in the planning and now about 10 months of work the Tactical Office and Science Office are very proud to announce the release of the "Emperor's Hammer Battle Launcher" - probably the most elaborate piece of software to ever come out of the Emperor's Hammer and one that will most definitely change your flying experience completely.

The Launcher installs battles for you with a single click, launches the games and adds the basic patches used in our missions, like the "Fly All" patch for TIE Fighter. It also prevents cheating by editing mission files, which has been a problem for the Tactical Office since the beginning of this club.

  • This is now available for download once you log in to the Administration Area of the database.
  • Usage is easy: After you have installed EHBL, Download battle.ehm, click it to install the battle and press the button of whatever game you want to play.
  • If you have any, report bugs on the EHBL thread on the EH messageboard or to TAC or SCO. We're also available for regular help of course.
  • Read more about it at http://www.emperorshammer.org when its updated.

Zhaim Jifarr Promotion Party
by
CPT Derek Dan

Commander Zhaim Jiffar was in a bad mood. Although he has just been promoted to the position of the
commander of the Diamondback squadron, only few pilots seemed to noticed that and congratulate him. What’s
worse. He has just returned from officers cantina where he offered to buy drinks to all present, but oddly nobody
answered this call.
"What’s going on?!" Zhaim thought. "I have never seen something like this before!" He walked down
the corridor and entered his new quarters.
"Well, since I have nothing else to do right now I might as well unpack the rest of my stuff," Zhaim
thought. While he was walking to the boxes with his belongings, he saw a flashing light. He had received some
new mails over the holonet. Zhaim looked at the boxes once more and thought, "I cant do this later." He walked
to the computer’s console and began sorting the mail.
"Not important .. that can wait too.. o God! more advertisements. I’m going to kill the guy that
gave my mail address to those advertisements companies!" Zhaim thought.
"Oh, what’s that?" he said looking at one of the mails. It was delivered just a second ago. From iBank?" Zhaim said surprised. "Well, I thought I had all the
formalities done," he continued and then opened the email.

"Dear Sir, it has come to our attention that your account balance is now below your limit. You have thirty days
to transfer the required amount of credits or your account will become locked. Have a Nice Day"

"WHAT!!!" Zhaim shouted. He was beginning to really hate this day.
"BELOW LIMIT!" Zhaim continued. "I have at least 2000 credits there! How can it be below limit!?"
He connected to the iBank terminal, logged in - and almost had a heart attack.

"Your account balance is : 5344 credits. You still have 30 days to transfer the money. Have a Nice Day."

Zhaim had seen many things in his life, but right now he was looking at the console and didn’t know
what to say. It took him a couple of seconds to gather his thoughts. "How can this be?" he thought. "That’s
impossible!"
"Wait a minute," he said. "I can always check the last transfers, can’t I?" He typed the commands and
everything became clear.
All the transfers were done in last half an hour and all were very similar. Two phrases were most
noticeable, "Alcohol" and "ISD Intrepid Cantina." This was a bad day, but it just turned worse. It looked like
the whole destroyer’s crew was drinking on Zhaim’s tap.
Zhaim stormed out of his quarters shouting, "THEY ARE DRINKING WITHOUT ME!!!!!!!!!!"
