Theta Squadron WSR #34
111930ZJUL15

Raise the Flag 2015 happened, with its twists and turns and a last minute, last gasp denial of a full repeat of last years result - that being said Theta maintained the squadron title and the Warrior firmly kept hold of her title as TC flagship. Well done to all, while the initial promotions and GS's have been awarded to the Admiralty involved I would suggest that you all standby for promotions and awards of your own, while I headed off on a short, surprise holiday at the beginning of last week I had managed to send in the MSE the previous day. I'm looking forward to getting the formal go ahead on a number of the recommendations made to acknowledge the sterling work done by Keth, Mark, Gilad, Marcus and Yoda - 2913 points worth, with a whole host of bonuses, victories and activity in between.




I won't repeat much of what has already been shared, the squadron was having to put up with daily briefings and cajoling messages - a relief from this harassment has been well earned. Suffice to say I'd like to publicly thank Yoda for his individual activity, as well as his efforts in maintaining the RtF site despite all that was thrown at it - including the CMDRs breaking it on a weekly basis - and his continued role as Theta's go-to planner and purveyor of TIE spam and tactical genius. When I spoke to Plif prior to the comp and stated that I wasn't expecting a repeat of last years, I meant it - which make the surprising result all the more enjoyable.




With that in mind it's worth noting that I pretty much tendered my resignation as CMDR, effective post-RtF to Frodo prior to the comp, with the intent of handing over to another Thetan or even an outsider willing to take on the madness. Part of that was perhaps a certain ennui, so many years into doing the same kind of thing within the club, partly RL time constraints and a range of other factors. It was the efforts of you guys that changed my mind, proved I could happily handle the workload of chasing Yoda's BSFs, and more importantly showed me that I still enjoyed this club and community even after so many years. Frodo kindly allowed me to recant without too much abuse, while Mark graciously stood down from almost being thrown into the job - just remember that you've only yourselves to blame should you ever look at what I'm doing and despair! I'll continue as Theta 1 until... well, we'll see how much Episode VII affects my mental calm...

Operational Picture

…What the hell happened here... there's beer and vomit on the hangar's deckheads - they're 30 metres up with no access, I can't even picture how it got there, no that's not correct. I can picture it but I don't want to, I'm not even going to look at the security feeds, you can't unsee these things. What's that on the deck there, that... is that a tooth?...

...I know the Warrior has been withdrawn to recuperate post-campaign, but this seems to be taking it too far - I haven't seen Sin, Theta, Kappa or Sigma in days and the Thetan lander is missing... please tell me they didn't just fly off with 48 of our most expensively trained personnel onboard??? They didn't? Oh thanks be to t... They flew off at capacity... that's nearly 60... so they took my staff, the COMs Flag Lieutenant and... wait a second... Security confirm location of HA Frodo - not onboard...
