At the end of Raise the Flag Day 20, the Warrior stood about 2100 points above the Hammer. MP Week has seen some explosive performances from a number of Warriors, most notably from Theta who generally avoids SC but has made it their home for the past few days. Kappa's been really hitting it hard as well with a group of pilots farming together for a few hours every day. MP Week ends on Wednesday at midnight GMT, roughly 43 hours from now. SP Week begins Wednesday morning at 0001 GMT, about 19 hours from now. As usual, you'll see reminder emails from the TCCOM on the TC mailing list when these things happen.

The first two RtF bonus competitions both had great results for the Warrior. In fiction, we didn't take the top spot but we did claim two second place prizes and both third and fourth! Congratulations to GN Pickled Yoda, MAJ Keth Aalith, GN Jarek La'an, and CPT Xavier Sienar on their well-written submissions. In graphics, the Warrior took home all of the awards including a double third prize! Congratulations to GN Jarek La'an, GN Pickled Yoda, LC Ulrich Drachen, MAJ Keth Aalith, and COL Mark Schueler.

One of Kappa's Flight Leaders earned a promotion this week, congratulations to CPT Sparky!

Merit medals from May's evaluations came out this past week, congratulations to:

• CM leocadio on his third Imperial Security Medal
• CPT Sparky on his fourth Imperial Security Medal
• MAJ Keth Aalith on his sixth Imperial Security Medal (pending database submission)
• LC Len Eode on his sixth Imperial Security Medal
• MAJ Wondra on his first Bronze Star of the Empire
• COL Wraith on his sixth Bronze Star of the Empire

Many Medals of Communication went out as well, big thanks to the Warriors that continue to keep our comm channels flowing.

In sadder news this week, two members of Kappa Squadron turned in their requests to be transferred to the Reserves. It really won't be the same place without LC Tempest, but I'm he'll still chiming in via the mailing lists from time to time. LT Ike Feral is also headed to the Phoenix and we hope he'll find his way back to us at some point.

In a quick reversal of fortune, Kappa picked up a new pilot: Please welcome SL Lucifer Scorpio Romanov! His recruiter is another Kappa pilot, LCM Junazee, who's earned her first Medal of Instruction!

Also from Kappa, LT Christopher Winchester earned his Commendation of Bravery after surpassing 30 MP mission completions!

This week in TCAI, LC Ulrich Drachen turned in the top Team Battle screenshot and earned an IS-SW!

I'll be on a shuttle headed for the Florida system later today and I'll be returning on Monday. I'll still have internet access so I don't expect anything to be delayed, but I probably won't be doing any flying.
