Pete Dies…A Few Times FA Pete
Mitchell finished donning his flight suit in his quarters and grabbed his
helmet. He stood and pondered the
upcoming mission. He was more nervous
than usual. HE shrugged it off, though
then motioned for his door to open with his free hand and left his quarters. He turned right down the hall while the
door closed. At that
moment, FA Plif came out of his office and they strode side by side towards
the turbolifts.
“Thanks again for the promotion Pete!” “Don’t
thank me. It’s the least I could do
for the excellent SOO you’ve been.” “You look a
bit nervous. Having second thoughts?” “No, I’m
ok. You’ve got my back though, right?” “Always. And so does the Challenge, the Warrior, the
Hammer, and the Harpax.” “Good. I still think we’ll be fine, but better to
be safe.” “Good luck
out there. I hope to be by your side
next time.” “Deal. Well, I’m going down.” “Haha, I sure hope not!
I’m going up. See you when you
get back.” Pete
entered the lift and it shot down towards the hangar deck quickly. He was appreciative it was so fast and he
didn’t have too much time to worry. He
left the lift and made his way to the hangar, where he met several pilots
including COL Horus Blackheart, VA Hav Antiel, MAJ Rando, and several others. “Well
gentlemen. This could be the most fun
we’ve had in a long time, or the most dangerous mission we’ve ever been
on. Stay sharp out there, and don’t
get killed!” With that,
Pete about faced and headed towards his TIE Guardian. As the TIE
Corps pilots exited hyperspace they saw an old platform out in this remote,
otherwise vacant sector between EH and RS territories. “I’ve got
12 X-wings on the scanner, headed toward the platform.” MAJ Rando called out. “Our
opponents have beaten us here.” Responded Pete. “Go ahead and land in Hangar 2.” Exiting their
TIE’s, the TC team saw a squadron of dusty TIE interceptors, a squad of old X-wings,
and a Squadron of Preybird fighters. Just then,
the Rebels entered the hangar on foot.
“Welcome to our Neutral Ground gentlemen!” AD Carl said. “Preybirds?
Seriously?” Asked Pete as he
nodded toward the squadron. “It’s something
to make it more interesting…” “Are you ready for some serious competition?” “Bring it
on! We’ve brought our Ace, MAJ Rando!”
Challenged Hav. “Good.”
Carl responded. “What shall we fly
first?” Horus
chimed in “Definitely Interceptors.
None of those slow rebel death boxes.”
“Alright.
Everyone grab a beer and pick a TIE.
Rules are, if you die, you drink!” “OK, now I’m
listening! Let’s fly!” yelled Pete as
he ran off to the interceptors. Later, all
the pilots, rebel and imperial hung out in the platform’s mess hall, as it
didn’t have a proper bar. Pete
motioned his hands like TIE’s “He went like this, I went like that, and I
said ‘where’d he go?!!’ Hav then says ‘Where’d
who go?!!’ and we both died, right there!
I got my share of you rebels, though.” “Yeah you
guys shot us up pretty well. Damn that
Rando!” “Yeah, I
say that every time we spar.” Agreed Pete.
“Well this was fun. We should do
this again, and thanks for not ambushing us!” “Alright
Imps, we’ll see you back here in a week!” “Deal!” |

First,
congratulations to FA Plif! A well deserved promotion! Next,
welcome back a veteran, LC Nile Rosenau!
He has joined Theta from the reserves. TC folks
are still meeting up on Thursdays, though we have changed the time to 8pm
EST, 5PM Pacific (I totally forgot this week after a rough week of work). Yesterday
(Saturday), the TC and RS joined up for another MP event with the RS. This is now a regular thing at 7 pm EST on
Saturdays, so show up to vaporize some rebels! The Hammer’s
MSE is now processed, as well. Also, don’t
forget to fly for TIE Corps in Battle.
There is about a week left. See
the assignments below. |

Midnight GMT March 31st. Rules: Every month, there
will be a full battle from each of the major

5 points. Any mission high scores, will earn 1 bonus point, and
any battle high scores will earn 2 bonus points. High scores are determined at the time the
BSF was submitted. If a high score is
beat by another pilot in the same competition that submitted after, both
pilots will receive the bonus points.
If a pilot submits a BSF that would have been a high score, but was
beat by another pilot that submitted before, no bonus points will be awarded
to the second submission. Points will
accumulate for the year for more awards.
