Alpha Squadron: The Flight Journal of Talons Pryde (Excerpt) |
As we were in the process of rescuing the pilots and taking them as refugees, three peculiar, as if that was not the norm, ships suddenly appeared and seemed to move towards other pilots. I marveled that a ship that small could have an FTL drive. I radioed to the dropship to attempt to salvage any wreckage they came across in hopes of getting weapons or engines from them. About a minute later, four more planes, and I call them that because of the wings, did the same as the three previous ships. Almost immediately, they moved to intercept my dropship. I scrambled my wing to engage and protect the recovery efforts. And at that point, I declared this fighter's faction an enemy that must be destroyed. They actively attacked a salvage and rescue effort when we were non-engaging in their previous battle. The original wedge faction did attack, but they broke off when this faction arrived. The former never reengaged and seem to have abandoned this area. My wing reported that they had some sort of shielding technology similar to the ones I had developed for my heavy ground quads. I ordered them to engage and disable all forces by any means necessary. I also ordered clan protocol suspended for the duration of this operation – they could engage enmass and without mercy. Any and all members of this faction, should they be captured, would be made bondsmen of the Jaded Hearts and subject to Jade Falcon law. The battle was intense and quick. We decimated the faction and took nearly a dozen bondsmen. The other faction, we treated as hostile refugees. As my dropship completed docking, a smaller wedge shaped capital ship arrived. I felt that shadowy pull once again. My crew asked if they should launch back out. I should my head. “Neg, Star Captain.” He looked at me quizzically. I met his eyes. “Something is different with these.” Turning towards the navigation and sensors officer, I asked, “Do we have a distinct eye-eff-eff for these two factions? If so, do these new arrivals match either of them?” The officer took a short moment. “Aff, Galaxy Commander. These new arrivals match the eye-eff-eff of the first encountered faction. They seem to be on a search mission based on their manoeuvre patterns.” |

Intro & News |
|
Penguins, while we had a somewhat good start and had outstanding achievements , we started off with some victories but we were quickly outmatched as other squadrons reached many goals. I get this gut feeling we won't be able to reach the goals. Why? I'll tell you why: It is because those of us who are participating (which are not all), can't do all the job on our own in the little time we have to work together online. We need each other for PvE and PvP and at most we can get 4-5 matches per hour, one hour at night which is the time window where we coincide.. If we had more time windows, we'd be producing more as I've demonstrated by flying with my neighbors. A shame, but it is something out of reach for us, I guess. Since we won't be reaching all tiers, I decided to let it go and pursue personal goals instead. It has been a while since I felt up to the challenge of topping the boards and I never truly had the support, the time, the energy and the opportunity to do so. But right now I do. As a pilot, it has been a voyage of rediscovery, not just in terms of piloting but also in terms of mental and spiritual rediscovery. I was already too old enough to have such a performance once again when I joined the EH but I did have a high participation nevertheless. It isn't negativity, a commander must get a feeling whether the original plans were altered enough by terrain conditions (and unexpected circumstances) to be still feasible or not. I won't fall into a sunk cost fallacy wasting time, energy and burning out the rest of the pilots as we already have a casualty and I need to take care of the rest of you. I'd rather have you guys enjoying the casual ride while I engage in my own grinding. So, rolling back to time scheduling, I'll elaborate an argument here: Transfers are already a rarity. We don't hear much for every single pilot in each squadron talking to the rest of the fleet on comms. I mean, I might be wrong on this... but I'm swinging once more to support the idea of grouping people according to timezones. We might already have ghettos here and there so... anyways let's go onto the news.

Competitions |
|
No contact insofar as Gamma for Slumber Party. A few ReMob goals achieved but many others are still incomplete. I'm not optimistic to be honest. But, I won't force you guys into burnout; if you can't , you can't. My fault for not organizing us well enough. We just enjoy the ride....hey, we already got the best fighters around insofar as EHTC. While we enjoy the ride, I'll take on a very personal goal here to also make a point.
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)

Observation: Indeed it has been a week of firing and reloading, firing and reloading. Enemies wouldn't ever be in short supplies but neither did my determination to win enough victories to top the boards. I admit I neglected the reports but grinding is time and energy-consuming even if you mostly get decisive victories. |

Sadly Lt Seerlan felt the burden of the competition was too much and has left us. On his notes, he mentioned this is due to the inherent nature of how the EH works. I tried to prevent his departure but he insisted on leaving. We do still keep contact but I feel he didn't want the pressure to get scores turn his favorite games into chores. This deserves a more profound conversation once ReMob ends. Sad moment indeed... he is a great pilot. This did affect me as well but I can't stop right now. Mourning will be done later. Transfer to RSV will be requested at the end of the month in hopes he changes his mind. |

Commander's Analysis |
| The loss of Seerlan is a blow to this unit but we are in the middle of an operation and we still have goals to achieve in theory. I am focusing now on preventing the remaining pilots from falling into burnout and watching the inactive ones. Meanwhile, my struggle continues. |

Closing |
We've just begun so there's room for improvement. Dismissed!
Yea, that's from Magadascar Penguins, not intending copyright things here, just a reference.. . March to victory my penguins! |
