Keiran's stories


ISDII Grey Wolf, Vortex Squadron CMDR's Office

   
Captain Keiran Laserlight was sitting behind his desk and read the latest ship news. There were some posts about current simulations highhscores, new drinks in the cantina, arrivals, departures, funeral services, a message from ships einginers... Just ussual daily e-mail stuff. But there was one additional message marked with highest priority sign. Keiran opened it and read aloud. It was obvious that if the message was important all ship's personel should know about it. Even Keiran's personal protocol droid. Keiran was preety sure that O2 has no idea what's going on.

From: Rear Admiral CrimsonFury
To: Grey Wolf personel
Subject: Unknown suspects onboard.

    Loyal crewmen of Grey Wolf! We're almost sure that there is an unknown persona onboard. Our scanners detected that some unusuall signs of human presence aboard Escort Shuttle "GW-31". The crew of "GW-31" has no idea who left the pingerprints and proximity signs in the lower storage. We've secured the ship and we moved it into a guarded dock. However the "guest" (or "gusts" because we are not sure if he/she acts alone) escaped and can be anywhere aboard. Anybody who spots a suspicious being is requested to report to his Commanding Officer immediately. Be careful. He may be armed and dangerous.

RA Crimsonfury

    That was indeed unusuall, various situatins happen from time to time and Keiran remembered more than one sabotage attempt. Those events ended quickly - Grey Wolf security forces menaged to detect the traitors just after they unboarded their ships. This time somehow he or she runs freely aboard the Wolf.  Some actions must  be taken to prevent the disaster.

"Connect to the network O2, and check if there are any unussual readings around." - Keiran said. Well there was no chance for that . But there is no worse thing as workless droid.

"Affirmative, CPT." - O2 said. His military programme was almost perfect. Keiran thought of putting O2 into a TIE Advance just to see if he is able to fly... Keiran smiled. First things first... There was no more CMDR's stuff to do. And it was almost midnight. Time to go to sleep. Another busy day is coming :/ Keiran moved into his quarters using the west office's door. A moment later he heard the ringing doorbell. "O2 will handle" - he thought. Keiran walked to the coffie machine and ordered hot chocolate. Keiran listened to the conversation in the next door office.

"Welcome! I am O2! Military Protocol droid. How may I be at service?"

"Is CPT Laserlight around?" - woman's soft voice asked

"Well he is. But he is bust right now. Anything I can do for you?"

"I am sure he won't mind me enter"

"Actually ma'am. He..(click)"

After a clicking moise was heard the door opened once again. Steps in the office got lauder. Keiran counted at least three people inside the office. Of course he could be mistaken... Something strange was going on. Keiran reached for his blaster. Being a Corellian gives you one advetage - you're prepeared for most difficulties. Keiran moved behind one of starships models.  After next few seconds the door to the quarters opened. A man walked in with his own blaster ready. He wore an Imperial uniform. It must have been stolen from one of the GW crew.  He moved around the room slowly followed by a second man and a woman also wearing uniforms. They we're closing to the Keiran's hideout behind big Modified Frigate model. Keiran decided to attack. He targeted the leading human and pressed the trigger. Red bolt of energy hit the oppressor a second later making a hole in his breast. He fell on the ground dead at place. Two remaining attackers returned fire. They were trained very well. Each of them shot once. Both blue bolts hit hidden Keiran. Vortex Squadron's Commanding Officer fell uncounciunous. Before falling into darkness he could heard only:

"Pick him up! Hurry! We have still a transport to steal! Our mistress won't wait forever!"


TO BE CONTINUED in....

Vortex Squadton to the rescue!

Attention! Your beloved CMDR was kidnapped! By whom? Why? Where will he be taken? Who will save him? How? Those questions remain unanswered. Only Vortex Squadron pilots are able to catch the terrorists and get their CMDR back! Use your imagination, use your head, use your super-Imperial-Pilot-powers.
Submit your fiction stories to keiranlaserlight@tlen.pl
There is no word limit, no page limit. Fictions are due 1st of July.
Best fictions will be rewarded with Iron Star - Bronze Ribbon. Also all entries will be posted in Weekly Squadron Reports after competition will end. Get to your notepads! Save me!


From the desk of the CMDR


Welcome again! This is fourth report! A month as the CMDR! Well almost. The most important things this weeks are two new competitions for the squadron. First one - Operation:Virgin startedtwo days ago. It's for mission fliers. Easy IS-BWs if you ask me ;). The second one Vortex Squadton to the rescue! begins today. Fiction writers should find this one atractive. After reading this report please give a try! You'll be rewarded!


What's up?

5. Valkyrie Squadron has been closed. It's a sad event in the Grey Wolf's history. Unfortunately many people don't seem to be pleased by the Corps anymore. That's why our flag officers had to close Valkyrie. And that's why recruiting is so important! We don't want to lose any more squadrons!


6.  CM Shivor Dar was removed as Phoenix CMDR. This makes two open Squadron CMDR positions. LCMs and higher can apply to Ambar and Crimson
