Wing XIII Report
02.18.01
 
MAJ Brucmack sighed as he pushed another stack of papers into the wastebasket... Business in another dimension had cost him some time recently, but he was through the ordeal and (mostly) happy to be back at the old WC job.  A buzzer sounded and he got out of his seat and strode down the corridor.
 
Arriving at the hangar bay, he saw a shuttle arrive bearing the markings of the ISD Vanguard.  In the corner he noticed Azazel, Mace, and Woobee slouching around trying not to be noticed.  Hrm... I know that look.  I'll deal with them later.
 
The landing ramp on the shuttle came down and the newest Wing XIII Squadron Commander stepped into the hangar bay.
 
"Greetings, Commander Aeron!" said Brucmack.
 
"Uhh... Hi.  So this is the Grey Wolf?  Hrm.. Thought there would be more people here to greet me," Aeron replied.
 
Noticing the three slouchers creeping towards the Vanguard shuttle, Brucmack was glad that they weren't greeting Aeron yet... Though they would surely get around to it sooner or later, in their own mischeivous way.
 
* * *
 
"Alright guys, he didn't see us!" whispered Azazel, as Brucmack led Aeron towards the ship's residential district.
 
"Yeah, this is all going just like we planned... Good thing you found out this new commander was coming from the Vanguard Woobee!" added Mace.
 
"Well, you know... outranking the wing commander does have its advantages, sometimes," explained Woobee.
 
By this time they were underneath the shuttle and began to busy themselves.  They had paid off the deck officer to delay the off-loading of baggage and the shuttle's eventual departure for as long as possible, so they were unhurried in their work.  Azazel got to work opening the missile bay while Woobee and Mace hauled over two Advanced Concussion missiles.  Azazel quickly used his force strength to switch the two forward missiles with the custom missiles.  Their work done, they busied themselves with replacing the missiles they'd taken from some other TAs.

"You sure you wired those things right, guys?" asked Azazel.
 
"Oh yeah, we'd never screw up something like that... Or else we're going to be in deep trouble..." replied Woobee.

"... and that's how we calculate the surface area of an oblong bubble at room temperature at standard"
 
The lecture was interrupted by a fierce bleeping across the bridge.  An ensign rushed to his station, batting aside numerous technicolor bubbles to do so.
 
"Sir, we have two missiles coming straight at the bridge, ETA... 5 seconds!"
 
Four seconds later, two things happened.  An escape pod shot from the bridge of the Vanguard in time to see two concussion missiles detonate metres away from the bridge.  Cursing, MAJ Khadgar hailed a shuttle he saw closing in on the star destroyer.  "Errr... could you come and pick me up?  I was, uhh, inspecting this pod and it jettisoned for no reason."
 
"Acknowledged," replied the relieved pilot.
 
As the shuttle closed in on capturing the escape pod, Khadgar noticed that the markings were strange...  As it got clearer, Khadgar cursed again, this time with a clearer target... 
(Woobee's finishing touches)
 
News
  • As you have no doubt realized, CM Aeron is the new CMDR of Phoenix!  Congrats!
  • The position of Valkyrie CMDR is open.  Applications can go to myself and VA Cyric.  Janson has been placed in the reserves pending an investigation into some possible wrongdoing.
  • The position of CA:FO is also open, so if anyone is interested they may apply.  Info available on the TC News page (http://news.tiecorps.org)
  • The newer IS system is in effect :)  Now flying and non-flying have been seperated into two seperate categories: wings and ribbons respectively.  After this clear-up, a number of competitions have cleared, see the next section for details!
  • A Grey Wolf meeting has been suggested for Sundays at 5:00 PM EST, or one hour after the TC meeting for reference :)  We'll try it out next week, if you want to suggest a different time let me know! :)
  • The IWATS professorships for TIE Tactics and PHP are open, visit http://www.imperialacademy.org/jobs.html for more info.
Competitions
 
Yes! At last! Competitions! :)
 
Week of War/Vengeance Comp
Description:
This is basically a competition regarding participation in the XvT and XWA Weeks of War.  View the website for exact information, but this is the general idea:  Medals for the squad with the highest participation!  Medals for the top three winningest pilots!  Get out there and fly everyone, this is important to show that we are the best MP ship in the ASF!  If you need to know how to get into Week of War, mail me and I'll get you hooked up.
 
ASF Citation Competition
Description:
Pretty much what it sounds like, an ASF Citations race!  Each new citation a squadron gets in their primary platform (i.e. XvT/BoP for our ship) earns them four points, and all others earn one point.  Your squad doesn't have six pilots?  No worries, Vit is going to the trouble of assigning points for almost-citations! :)  Those squads will get half points.  Awards are given to the pilot in the first, second, and third place squads with the most BSF submissions towards citations.  So CMDRs, get your pilots flying the right battles, and pilots, fly them!
 
Wing FREE-XvT #36 Comp
Description:
Fly FREE-XvT #36 and send your pilot file to me!  The highest scorer will get an IS-SW!  If you wish to use a score that has already been submitted, please forward me the BSF approval.
 
Squadron performance in these competitions will be critical in my decision for WC's Own next month!  Of course, precedence is given to MP events, so focus on WoWs!
