Alpha Squadron: Into the Abyss #2 - Hell Revisited #2 |
ISDII: Hammer, Forward Secondary Hangar, Auxiliary Briefing Room. Araujo walked down the corridors of the Hammer holding a datapad Task gave him with mission information and held another datapad as he made a new entry on his personal log. “Lt Col’s Log, supplement” -”As I walk the Hammer’s internal corridors and I fill this entry, I feel relatively hesitant about the mission. I don’t know how well we…I can perform after being grounded for so long. No time to prepare, we are in an emergency and it seems no one else can do this. Not because we are their favorites or the best, but because we were grounded…I was grounded. “ He taps the datapad to see a notification, she replied with a heart. No words, just a heart. - “I see Lady replied with just a reaction to my poem. Why? Is she trying to torture me? Is she unable to speak?” The silent treatment was a torture to him, death by a thousand cuts. He knew he wouldn’t handle her final goodbye but he’d prefer the end to this painful withering of what was once a close relationship, his biggest strength now his most abysmal weakness. Pain in his chest and a strong desire to just stop doing anything, sitting on the floor, expecting the universe to stop, waiting for death to come. But she replied, with a heart. There was hope. Maybe she still loved him. Maybe she just liked the dopamine boost from his attempts to reach her, his longing for her love and company. And then he found himself standing still in the middle of the activity, suddenly realizing he was in the middle of pre-mission procedures. Trying his best to cheer himself up by considering she at least replied with a damn heart, he repeated himself his adventure would come first, she’d be ok and they’d be together after that. He needed to participate on this mission so he can redirect his attention somewhere else and get a little time to help kill the pain. - “I need to focus on the mission to make time for my pain to heal”. Tapping his datapad twice, he resumed a brisk walk towards the secondary hangar as the troopers ran around taking their positions, along with crewmen, marines and everybody still able to. Mechanics were still working on multiple repairs and he looked at them, almost wishing he had to repair a mechanical device and not his heart. And there was no sign of any pilots. The mental picture sent a shiver down his spine. He shrugged and tried to convince himself he was indifferent to the carnage the war against the Ishtari left. You never get truly used to war, he thought. -”At ease” he replied to the other with a military salute as he kept walking towards the room. He was signaling there’s no time to lose but internally he didn’t want to interact with anyone. As the men followed him and entered the room he stared at the eyes of each one. - “Here’s the situation”. Pulling the datapad Task gave him , connecting it to the console and taking a deep breath, he continued -“ Did you feel that lurch and the blur , right?. It is a rhetorical question. We have been interdicted”. Pressing a button, the holoscreen displayed a tactical map. Presumed pirates in a flotilla of 3 capital ships are restraining FRG Implacable, CRV Narsil…” He paused briefly, lowering at his men - ”...and us, the Hammer”. Suddenly, a spark of determination and anger flared within him. He wanted the pirates to pay for his personal suffering - ”They think they’re hitting us while we are weak, but I will not let them get away with this. Hopfot and I will depart in our personal fighters. We are to defend the Hammer from the enemy fighters, inspect the enemy capitals and cover Pryde who will pilot the remaining shuttle carrying the rest of you”. He could feel someone was about to raise his voice in protest but he went ahead gesturing with his hand to silence the alleged protestor - “No ‘but’, no one else is available for the job”. It was at moments like this where he missed the pre-Endor Imperial discipline. -”The shuttle will infiltrate the larger enemy capital vessel, find feasible ways to neutralize it, then procure some enemy fighters and relieve them of these crafts, then assist us in defeating the enemy. Either we destroy them or we force a withdrawal but we must ensure our ships can survive and make it back to BG I. Am I clear?” All the pilots replied - “Yes sir”. - “Good” He replied coldly, not entirely believing they did understand or rather, not entirely convinced they’d follow his plan -”Man your positions and scramble. Dismissed!”

Intro & News |
|
Penguins, we're off to a good start. There are 12 goals and I personally took care of 15+ kills on PvP and Fiction. I can go for SP BUT I know you can totally outmatch me, and you did, for which I am proud. However, I must say this isn't enough. Time is running, we can't do this as 12 separate pilots, we have to work together. I know you wouldn't commit if there's not a good reason. I need a bit of time to properly articulate it but suffice to say, it is in our interest and the interest of the fleet that we rebuild our reputation. We have to complete the goals and complete them decisively and oriented towards shaping our lore, reestablishing our reputation and setting up our proposals. I haven't worked on writing down this because I've been focused on flight operations myself. Let's say my neighboars are really keen on the classics and I took upon me the challenge of tapping on their XvT fever. I've spent entire sessions flying and it was a learning process. I understood a bit more about lag point, hand-eye coordination and had the chance to re-familiarize with all the available fighters. Reviewing, reliving the game years later at this level, driven by the enthusiasm of my local friends, allows for a complete, intense yet more mature experience.

Competitions |

After winning our first round against Beta, we salute them as fellow pilots and move on to our next target: Gamma. Wishing the best of luck to both squadrons, I'm also hoping you enjoy the bloodbath! Highlighted Competitions: Obviously,the aforementioned Squadron (Re)Mobilization will be with us during this month. And of course, Alpha's Slumber Party (yes, click here) :v (Brief) Description: Every month, pilots from Alpha squadron will fly PvP matches against pilots of a designated squadron of the TIE Corps. Alpha will fly against every single other unit of the TC, one squadron per month. Performance metrics will determine the winning pilots and the winning squadron. The objective isn’t much to spam LoCs but to create unit cohesion, build unit morale and motivation and obtain field experience against real opponents. Get the ball rolling in terms of training towards participating in other online events. Full details can be found here (click) or here (click)

They wanted matches, JA is a bit busy but Josh has a lot of spare time and challenged me to entire marathons over the last few days. I was tired in the end, wasted but only physically. A spark in my spirit did light up the need for speed inside me. I continued as I taught them about the game and made them slightly better. Their skill will grow up with time and I'll have better challenges. On our online front, I've been more than happy sharing with squad mates, watching their most interesting challenges, their tactics, their innovative approaches. Truly awesome and inspirational. Yes, I've flown a lot of matches and there's never enough time for all the things I want to do. In fact, this is a late report. But its because I've spent 3 days flying over and over...and I never get tired of it, like the old times! ;) I mean...flying at 3 AM, sniping on a Y-W, doing away with its shields to gain speed or snatching a quick shot into a T/F after a transition in a circle war... I'm wasted but it is well worth it! I want more!!! |

FLIGHT_CERTIFICATION_WINGS: NEW_COOP_RATING:
Observation: Very good activity in terms of quality and quantity,as he is not just flying but also achieving HS where no one else thought it could be done for which I'm proud! Also, MP activity in the form of LoS, real useful for the unit and pretty interesting insofar as tactics. Indeed, an integral part of the unit. I mean, when ReMob started he was one of the first pilots to contribute with the goals and did it with style! Again, flying/HSing/reviewing /recording/ participating in MP. His expert opinions and comments and his natural skill to find those details one would normally wouldn't detect are a key to the success of this unit. Outstanding work Lieutenant! |

We need to build the squadron's lore and contribute to the ship. |

FLIGHT_CERTIFICATION_WINGS: Observation: Seerlan is one of the pilots that compromises the core of this unit along with LPhoenix and LQC. One of the few that does a bit of everything, scoring in SP/MP (both PvE and PvP), a good , disciplined pilot that continues contributing with his reviews and in particular, he completed a personal request for flyinig XvT-TC 27...with high scores! The battle I couldn't win, he just won it with HS. I am very proud of you, my thanks for your participation! Pretty awesome to have such a fine pilot in the unit. This is exactly what I want to see on this unit: pilots that can excel in all fronts, with dedication and discipline. Keep it up Lieutenant! |

Observation: Indeed, a core member of this unit along with Ty and LPhoenix (and hopefully others). LQC-75-3 has consistently won well fought victories. It is always fun and interesting to fly with or against him. To me it is a win win, regargless of who wins (something he does very often, with sheer skill and passion) , he pushes you to get out of your comfort zone, rethink your tactics, improve and become a better pilot. For that I'll always be thankful. He also works very well with others in developing methods for solving tactical problems. But, above all, he inspires us to be better pilots, to enjoy the game. This unit changed for the best thanks to you. |

Commander's Analysis |
| Despite the positive stream of activity, we haven't significantly advanced towards the completion of the goals. We hjave had remarkable moments indeed but goals remain largely incomplete. This is directly my fault as I've failed to find effective ways to regularly coordinate your efforts. I'm hoping to have better results this week. |

We've just begun so there's room for improvement. Dismissed!
