Welcome to the next edition of the Tornado Squadron weekly report; Before the mayhem begins let it be known that my last report had somewhat of a flippant attitude in the Fleet News segment. Due to this if you could not tell i was joking which im sure all of you could then i am sorry if you thought i was serious.

So because i have a flippant attitude and thats not going to change, from now on there will be no fleet news part to this report AND/OR any infomation on Imperial Storm 3 as it has been made clear how i feel on that, those who want to know the fleet news head off to the TC and EH News pages.

Have an open mind when reading my reports, they are intended to be funny, if you dont find them funny then read something thats not suppose to be, like the FO report or something, they are usually quite un-funny andperfect for putting you to sleep.

Now pushing aside all seriousness, let the report begin.

A quick side note, the From the Vault section has a few minor spoilers for attack of the clones, so skip it if you dont want any of the story to be given away.

Tornado Squadron Weekly Rant - 19th May 2002.

~CMDR's Rant~
Well i think i already ranted enough :P

~Squadron News~

Tornado: Tour of Supremacy - The Return!
Tornado 2 - Others 0
*Does the happy dance* Damn we good, and cause we all so good, all of you head down to the cantina and get a drink on me. Only water though cause that Free, MUHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAA.

Here's the final Top 9 Scores for those who havnt seen them or have been hiding to escape my wraith.

1. CAP Halcyon (PAN) - 75,688
2. Hev (TOR) - 72,003
3. LCM Hermann (PAN) - 68,865
4. Sint (TOR) - 67,607
5. Master (TOR) - 64,348
6. Arion (TOR) - 64,181
7. Tomaas (TOR) - 59,500
8. Rollins (TOR) - 31,465
9. Ramos (TOR) - 24,662

After talking with Halc, its been decided that Hev is to be awarded the IS-BW, i think this is cause of the fact that Halc cant be beaten when it comes to High Scores :P

Insted of going after another squad right away we will be entering the Colossus Squadron league which is due to start in 4 to 5 weeks.

Until then ToS:TR is paused, we will be focusing more on things like fiction and citations.

Citations!
The spreadsheets that show who has flown what will bee re-uploaded once more and is up to date with this weeks flying (In the next few hours).
Its available here at www.isdchallenge.org/tornado/citations.zip

For the next several weeks im going to be giving you one battle to fly a week (min) and hopefully soon we will start gaining more citations.
Expect the mails telling you what your going to fly soon, a reward maybe in order for those who fly all of whats asked of them (and more :)

Run-on Fiction!
Theres a run on story on the Tornado Message Boards, anyone can post (even other squadron members) so get your butts over there and post something, it doesnt have to be long, just something that progresses the story.
Im going to make a XWA battle based on the run-on so i suggest you all add your imput.

Master's Escort Service!
My un-offical business has been both offically and un-offically closed.
Due to Mell moving into his office forcing me down to C deck and Typhoon Pilots creating mayhem when they somehow found out about it.
ive closed it so there are no links to me being the owner, and the investigation now points to Boliv as several documents were found in his room, he says they were planted but we all know the truth that they wernt dont we pilots <-/jedi mind trick>

~Squadron Orders~

Fly TIE-FREE #178 & XWA-FREE #35 for Wing Comp OR ELSE!!!

Fly your assignments for citations.

IWATS - See what life is like after IWATS

~Wing/Battlegroup News~

~Dark Lord of the Week~

The highly prestigious title of Dark Lord of the Week is only given to the person who has most advanced the success of the Squadron, amused the CMDR, or slipped me the most £5 notes in a brown paper bag. This week's winner is:

Star Wars Ep II - Attack of the Clones.

GO SEE THIS MOVIE

~Ewok of the Week~
Yub Yub!

Every story has a hero, every journey has a first step, every Fleet has a pilot who's about as much use as an ashtray on a speeder bike. This weeks' Prize Ewok is none other than:

Any other movie thats out.

Your days are numbered.
