The lights were blacked out as MAJ Strahd
entered the Scorpion briefing room. He had been lost for several days, recc'd
for cmdr but not appointed, eh wondered if something had gone wrong. As he
walked in and told the computer to bring up the lights the entire scorpion
squadron looked at him with stone faces from around the room, all standing in a
horse shoe formation. Ekim stepped forward, and knelt before Strahd offering
him, the secret and mysterious "Scorpion Stinger" a ceremonial sword knownst
only to the squadron members themselves. It represented power, intelligence, and
respect itself. Only one member of Scorpion could ever hold the sword at a time,
it was now being passed onto the new CMDR.
Strahd took the sword andraised the sword to
the air. I was still in relative shock at the momment. I had many things to do
and so little time to accomplish them in. With the moving of Ekim and myself,
I'd have to pull double time to get the squadron up to top form for the Imperial
War Games coming up.
All that and the head honchos still hadn't given
the go ahead for my security clearance nor given the official word yet either.
But I knew that this squad would be ok and we'd do our best.
"Ekim has
started a new legacy and I'd like to cotinue that legacy! Let's show this ship
what we're made of and be an inspiration to all!"
The room was silent as
I continued my speach...
"I
know we've been slacking off recently... This must stop. I also realize that
we're almost all old codgers, kinda burnt out. And, of course, some of us have
other obligations... but we can pull together, fly battles, write fiction, take
IWATS courses, and create gfx... Our last SC is what propelled Scorpion to its
position of greatness- Let's not let this one be our downfall!!"
There
was general cheering...
Introduction:
Greetings all. I was finally given
security access and my rank as Commander is finally official. I am sure most of
you know me but I know that at least one of you may not so I'll give a short
description of my Tie Corps career to let you get to know
me.
All my career has been spent on the ISD
Vanguard, I started out as a FM in Mantis and then moved up to FL for that same
flight. (seems like ages ago) I was then given the opportunity to Command
my first Squadron. It was Echo. I stayed on as Commander
for a while then was given the chance to be the Wing Commander for Wing
XV. After a few months and realising that that was a bit out of my league
for teh moment, I decided to go back into a squadron...that's when I met you
all. I was placed in Scorpion and have been there ever since.
News:
1. Congrats are in order to our newest
LC. Our very own Ekim Yellek! A promo that is well deserved for such a great
job!
2. I now have access and can modify the
Scorpion Web-Site. So keep it bookmarked or in your favorites. I
plan on using it quite a bit. I've already made some changes to it.
3. Many competitions are coming up. The
Supremacy Competition 4 and the Imperial Storm 3. I would like to
see activity. Anything really. A MP match, 1 Battle, 1 Free Mission,
anything. We don't get points for doing nothing. I know that finals are
coming up for some of us, and that you may have other things in the
works too. So any activity is good.
Please do at least 1 free mission for me this week. f you can do more, great! If
not, fiction, graphics, anything!
4. I need a new uniform...anyone who would
like to make me one, I'd appreciate it. It will count as activity of
course.
5. If any flight would like an office in the
Scorpion web site, let me know...I'll get on it ASAP!
Activity:
None as of yet to report, but I'm sure that
will change soon :)
