CPT Pellaeon sat in his black leather chair with a cup of hot tea as he staired out through CMDRs office window. It'd been another defeat for Sin but it was time to put the defeat behind him but more importantly for the squadron. He glanced at a flight of assault gunboats passing his window during their routine operations when he took a few quick sips of his hot tea.
CPT Pendragon stepped into the office with a quick tap on the door. "Captain Pellaeon, I have the full report for the in squad operation."
"Thank you Captain Mordred," Stele answered while still staring out the window. "I'm glad you proposed this idea to the squadron. The last defeats have displayed how much training we need first within our squadron. This GLADIATOR CHALLENGE within the squadron will strengthen our weaknesses and empower are strong points. Before we can defeat any opposition, my friend, we must defeat ourselves."
Squadron News
--------------
Sin Squadron has been defeated by Dagger Squadron. We tried our best and I'm PROUD of all of you since we all flew this one. Unity is our strong point. We'll strengthen ourselves with in-squad GLADIATOR matches. I'm sure you'll see our skills improve in the next few weeks.
CPT Mordred has introduced our very first in-squad on-going competition called the GLADIATOR CHALLENGE. As you know, LT Squall has been chosen to be the GLADIATOR and I've already gotten volunteers. I've chosen the volunteer myself and I've decided to choose LT Strahd Pendragon as LT Squall's first opponent. LT Squall, tell me which battle you choose for this challenge and you'll both have one week to fly it. Good luck!
Operation: Release the TIEs on it's 19th and unnofficial last day. All of Red team pilots are under attack and are defending their systems as best as they can. Among the pilots in our squad who are in the fight are LT Strahd Pendragon. Good luck out there Strahd!
Citation for TC-17 is due for DEC 15th. Let's all fly it and get that citation!
NOTE: Finals are coming up for me these week so don't expect to see me on IRC or ICQ a lot and I'll try to BSF your missions as soon as I get them but I probably won't do them all immediatly. Just one more week and then I'll jump back into my missile boat and fly like crazy.
Squadron Orders
---------------
Fly TC-17 for our next citation (attached)
LT Squall, you are to choose a TC-battle for you and LT Strahd to fly this coming up week for GLADIATOR TITLE! (Trumpets play and crowd cheers as I say it)
LT Strahd, you are to fly FM-24 for Operation: Release the TIEs (mission attached)
An ISM is up for grabs for whoever flies the most missions this month. It can be any missions for either TF, XvT, or XWA. So shoot away!! The month is still early so fly to your heart's content.
Picture of the week is up at the squadron site and the winner is.... well why don't you go and take a look to see who won it.. It's under the News section. If you want a picture up at the site, shoot a picture while flying and send it to me and it might be chosen for the following week.
LCM MacCredu has created Sin Squadron's very own activity tracking record site. All of you to go to http://www.homestead.com/sinchallenge/weeklyreport.html and type in any activity you've done and send it off. It ensures that I get all activity you know you've done and that I won't forget. If you have any questions about it ask me or LCM MacCredu.
You can now edit your "skills profile." Go to the administration and edit it there. You can rate your TIE fighter skills, XvT skills, XWA skills, multiplayer skills, fiction skills, I can go on.... there's quite a bit there.

The Shockwave Trojan aka the W32.Prolin.Worm virus is spreading with the subject line "A great Shockwave Flash movie" with an infected file attachment.
