RHO WEEKLY SQUADRON REPORT #3

REPORTING OFFICER: Colonel Hav Antiel, Squadron Commander
DATE SUBMITTED: May the 4th 2020

SQUADRON COMMANDER'S FICTION

'They're shipping you to Rho Squadron?' said Zekk’s incredulous voice. “Skid Rho? That’s where they send loser pilots to die. Or rot. But most likely die.”

Seated next to the Sin CMDR at the bar of the Warrior’s cantina, Hav shook his head.

“The tee-see-com said Rho just needed a strong leader,” Have argued.

“Strong? More like dumb,” said Zekk. “Those Interceptors don’t even have shields, Hav. You want shields. They save you from the pew-pews in space.”

“I don’t know,” said Hav, now nervously biting his metallic fingers. “Sounds like my kind of challenge. And I’ve always loved TIE Interceptors. I had a poster of one in my bedroom growing up.”

“Suit yourself, Colonel,” said Zekk as he stood to pay the tab. “While you’re sitting here tethered to the Warrior, I’ll be hypering out to new regions for some deep space depredation. See ya.”

Hav gave a lazy wave and looked down at his drink. It occurred to him that he’d never seen Zekk leave the bar before him. Hav was excited about his new position, but he did have some concerns. The TIE Interceptor was a relic, a ship from another era. If Hav were a kid today, would he still want a poster of a TIE Interceptor on his wall? Or would he have posters of TIE Defenders or even the TIE Sinister?

“I believe in you, sir.”

Hav looked up from his drink. B-33R, a reprogrammed Imperial security droid who served as the cantina’s bartender, stood in front of Hav on the other side of the bar.

“You what?” said Hav.

“I believe in you, sir. Rho Squadron needs a strong, seasoned leader, and you are the right man for the job.”

Hav couldn’t believe his ears. B-33R had never spoken to him directly, and he’d never heard an Imperial droid sound so… positive.

Maybe he was right. Sin Squadron’s reputation had improved with Hav in command, and the Warrior wasn’t too shabby while he was at the helm, either. Maybe he just needed to be positive and believe in himself.

“You know what? I think you’re right, barkeep.” Hav chuckled. “It’s all about positive—”

“Humans often respond positively to false praise,” the droid interrupted. “Perhaps you could try this same strategy with your pilots.”

“Shouldn’t you be manning the navigation systems?” Hav grunted as he got to his feet.

CLOSING COMMENTS

I know I've already said it, but I'm proud of how this squadron worked together to complete 6 (Re)Mobilization tasks. Rho was reactivated with only 16 days left in the competition, and the only way we were going to complete any tasks was if we all stepped up. That's exactly what happened, and I couldn't be happier. We'll have some time to continue coordinating our efforts before Raise the Flag in September, and I'm confident that this crew can continue to make Rho stand out.

Get out there and remind 'em who the bad guys are.
