CPT Daisuke Airyu, reporting in for the week of 7/7-7/13, 2001

THIS WEEK'S GRUDGE MATCH
Unstable Mutation
vs
Typhoon Squadron's recent surge of recruitment

Serovich: Now that's not even right. A Magic card?
Airyu: Not the card, the spell. To demonstrate its effects, we have LT Trey Ivins here!
Trey: Good, you listened to me and gave me a role in the Grudge Match.
Airyu: Sure I did. Now, let's see... tap three blue mana, and...
Trey: *Grows several feet taller, and strong*
Airyu: Now, let's take a look at my recruitment techniques.
Serovich: What about them?
Airyu: This past week, we got four new recruits.
Serovich: That's a good thing.
Airyu: And by the end of this weekend, we will lose three pilots.
Serovich: That's a bad thing.
Trey: Raaah!! *starts shrinking*
Airyu: Of course, they're mostly useless...
Trey: *shrinks more*
Airyu: So we won't miss them too much.
Trey: *shrinks to microscopic dimensions*
Serovich: Yeah. We should probably recruit some more. *steps on Trey*

MORAL: It's a bad idea to try to convince your CMDR to do anything.

IN..
Three new cadets have arrived from the Daedalus... Dev Lenart, Antone Silva, and Atican. We've also received a defector from the Colossus, LT John Pennl.

AND OUT...
Our squadron continues to be plagued with casualties. CM Elwood's AWOL request is being processed. Trey may also be taking a trip to the reserves shortly, and LT Atican will be heading over to the Immoral, with all those other freakish XWA-only pilots.

Arrivals:
SL Antone Silva -> FM 1-2
SL Atican -> FM 1-4
SL Dev Lenart -> FM 2-2
LT John Pennl -> FL 2

Promotions:
SL Atican --------> LT

WE'RE NOT TOTALLY CRIPPLED.... RIGHT?
(more commonly referred to as "orders"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
PRIORITY- WING X LEAGUE
TFRs for TC-TIE 160 are due to me by monday night. Give it your all, and we might stand a chance against Tempest. MOVE ZIG!!!

PRIORITY- RECRUIT
Our squadron is looking a little bit better than before, but it's nowhere near its former strength. If you know any Star Wars nerds that have TIE Fighter, go! Draft them immediately!!! If we're going to put up anything of a fight in the wing competition over these next few weeks, we need to get some new fresh blood in here.

SECONDARY - GO UP AN FCHG RANK
Not only do you get the nice little stripes to add onto your uniform sleeves, you get an ISM for every rank past Lancer! And it looks very good on your activity reports, something which our Wing Commander wants to see. So get flying, and see if you can go up a rank before I do.
