DATE SUBMITTED: 12-08-2022

CPT Taurus watched the eight A-Wings arriving at the hanger of the MC40, which was now Firebird's new official home. As they approached the landing zone, he could see the damages that occured to the crafts long ago and let out a loud and clear sigh.

"This will be take some time to repair, Cap!"Taurus heard the Chief Mechanic Vib Parill, a Mon Calamari, chuckle.
"They were not in Service for a long time. Sadly we couldn't get the newer RZ-2s, but the fleet had still some old modells in stock, so we take what we get. And why are you even complaining? You hated the B-wings of Flight three. Did you not call them a mechanic's nightmare?" Taurus replied annoyed.

"I did and i stand to this opinion. They came right from hell!
They took up way to much place and needed to be constantly repaired and checked after every movement. Impratical to the core!" Vib reponded.

Taurus left the Chief Mechanic and walked to the A-wings that landed in Firebirds designated landing zone.
He saw his XO Col Boliv existing the his craft with a grin. "Cap, i know they look old, but they still handle like fire. They will serve us well." "That's something at least." Taurus replied more entusiastic, but still not at all persuaded. "Okay, Gryphons and Brahmas. You see Senior Chief Officer Parill behind me? The day is not yet over. He will assign you each to a mechanic, with whom you will learn to repair your craft and keep them flying. It is important that we all know how to repair our crafts alone out in the field. When you done, i want a written report of each one of you by the end of the day. Are we clear?" "Yes, Captain" Taurus nodded. "Proceed"

This was a necessary step, he remembered himself. Even thou they now had support with the newly formed Raven Squadron, it was importanted to not call them every time something happened that could be easily avoided. After all Raven was Heavy Support and only needed in extreme situations, where there will be task at hand only Y-Wings can solve.

• If you didn't know by know, we have a new XO.
  Colonel Triji Boliv stepped up and became my second in Command and i'm very happy and grateful about it
  He is currently our Light in the dark, leading the way with activ communication and Silver Star after Silver Star. A truly terrific start and hopefully more to come.
  Thanks and Congrats again, Triji
  
  
• Remob4:
  We completed five tasks together, which made us the second best squad on the Challenge and the forth best (technically third with Tempest and Lambda at a tie) in the enitre TC.
  I know our target was tier three with the Shadow Y-wings, but it shouldn't be this time.
  As our Reward we changed our Objective to Reconnaissance and modified our line up with two new flights of RZ-1 A-wings. I choose to keep the X-wings for Flight one, as it gives us more utility for our tasks.
  As CM Jack Wynand noted, that is resulting in loosing the personal Astromechs for Flight two. But our mechanics are currently working on a solution for that.
  
• Resulting our recent changes we are now exploring possibilities in a new Nickname and a new Banner

With Remob4 coming to an end, we are currently in a kind of break situation before RtF starts.

But with our big event coming closer every day now, i need to share a dream with you, a "All Hands on Deck" Situation. I want Participation and it would be really cool to get everyone at least an ISM.
I mean a Commander can dream, right?

Currently i'm playing a bit with the designs of this reports, i love to just relax and design a bit with HTML, but at the moment, it isn't very nice for the eyes sow we keep the old format.

Also i just invented a character for our ship. I think, it's time to populate the MC40 and give faces to the people there. Afterall that is a way to write kind of our own story. I'm currently thinking about a story comp, but in the meantime, if you writing ficition, maybe consider inventing a character, make a wikia site for them and you know let them flow in our Story.
Also maybe consider writing out you own wikia entry for your character. And if you don't know how to, pay a visit to the IU and take the course. It will help you.

Anyways I'm still enjoying the clearness of relaxing in my holidays and taking a break with the everyday Internet-Stuff, it is really a blessing in our modern world.
