Someone say Ouch!! Activity in the squadron has dropped tremendously this week but Flight 3 has an excuse. They were out on extended patrol (ISP problems) but thankfully they all made it back to the Sov in one piece. CPT Mordred has been fully briefed of updates in the squadron and his wingmen should have the information already. But lets dedicate our efforts for the "Squeaker Hunt" boys. Not much is going on this next week so relax and enjoy the hunt!
And one more thing.... Happy Birthday CPT Mordred!! I wish you a happy and safe year! God bless you and your family.
Squadron News
--------------
Flight 3 has arrived back and will continue squadron activities.
The GLADIATOR CHALLENGE is back on. GLADIATOR LT Desmos still holds the title as GLADIATOR OF SIN but will CPT Mordred be able to take it from him? This is a classic fight of younger pilot vs older pilot. LT Desmos has decided to use his pilot file from his TC-19. CPT Mordred, you are to fly this battle and is due by next Sunday. Good luck to both of you.
The Wing II competition "Squeaker Hunt" started the 1st of this month and will continue until the end of the month. It is based upon finding Private Squeaker, LC Inkwolf's ground crew member. There will be flying, writing, graphics, and message board hunting and medals will be given out. Further details in the Squadron Orders.
Normally I wouldn't tell you guys of cadets interested in joining our squadron because 90% of those who tell us they will usually don't join us. But there is a special cadet I ran into a couple weeks ago. His name is Cadet Steel. He joined the EH/TC not knowing what it was exactly. He was only looking for a mission editor but I emersed him into the EH world. He can't wait to join us and is eager to play against our first competitors. Expect him to join us this week. If not, well
Squadron Orders
---------------
For the Wing II Where's Squeaker competition, fly TC-107
-at random times of January, Inkwolf will order missions to be flown and must be turned in within 24 hrs of that order. So keep your eyes peeled through mail and on the Wing 2 messageboard
-SEARCH THE FLEET!!!!
Sergeant Akela and Melvin will be making a search
of the Emperor's Hammer. Each day in January, a message will be posted on one of the EH messageboards, possibly with a clue
as to where the next post will appear. Can you
keep up to Akela and Melvin? Post a reply to
their message within 24 hours to prove your
Squeakorienteering prowess!
Several Wing 2rs and myself have been posting but it's not too late to join the fun. Just check the first message on the Wing 2 messageboard to catch up to the following messages on the other ones.
-GATHER SATELLITE SPY PHOTOS!!!!
Submit a graphic showing Squeaker's current location!
-PRIVATE INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING!
Write a work of, er, documentary dealing with the
disappearance and return of Squeaker!
-Not only will medals be awarded in each category,
but there will also be medals for whoever
participated the most! If, in Inkwolf's opinion, the
wing has not shown any particular effort, medals
will not be awarded. So be sure to take part.
Send all TFRs to me, CPT Stele Pellaeon, send all
graphics and fiction files to Inkwolf directly (cc your
CMDR!) Good luck to all, and may your Squeaker
hunt be successful!
Well, we didn't get a citation for TC-32 but that's ok. If you like, you're welcome to fly it. But I'd like to focus our efforts on another citation. I found one while skimming through the mission compendium. It's TC-TIE-26 "The Dark Troopers." Sounds creepy and fun. Lets all fly this one by January 22nd. (Attached)
As usual, check your squadron and or flight webpage to keep posted on orders and such.
Fly to your hearts content...
