(Stele walks in with his head down)
You guys ever barrow a truck from someone you completely don't know but the guy trusts you enough to let you use it to move furniture and stuff and then you bring it back with the biggest dent possible? Well I did. (Stele raises his hand) That's why this report is a little late. But!! The guy was kind enough and understanding to let me go. Thank goodness he's a religious man with a lot of morales and understanding.
I really shouldn't bring my problems to you but I just had to let it out. I had that sick twisting feeling in my stomache all night.
Hmm? What's this? Stele wins the fiction for Squeaker Hunt?
(Stele walks to the desk with his head high) :)
Squadron News
--------------
-Well I'll say it again, MAJ Stele wins the fiction part for the Squeaker Hunt. (attached in the Inkwolf's report) I'm not sure if you've guys have read it but check out the story. I've included all of us in the story.
-MAJ Stele takes second place next for the flying part of Squeaker Hunt. Argh, I turned 7 of the 8 TFRs in. I wonder what'd happened if I turned all of them in.
-Upset in the GLADIATOR CHALLENGE (trumpets play) CHALLENGER MAJ Stele defeats GLADIATOR CPT Mordred in the battle TC-38. Good fight in the ring Mord!
CPT Mordred: 55520
MAJ Stele: 87498
-I usually moderate the challenge so I therefore pass the GLADIATOR title to LT Desmos. LT Desmos, you are to use TC-38 and any pilots of Sin Squad are to volunteer to take on Desmos in the ring. Good luck!
-I've recently heard that LCM Mac has taken ill which is why he hasn't responded to emails. I wish him well in his recovery and hope he flies with us soon.
-LT Desmos will come back and fly with us after he's finished up his highschool finals! I assume those of you who've finished up finals will come back too.
-LT Squall will be transfering to reserves once I get his letter to transfer. We'll miss you Squall. Come back when you have more time and we'll fly into victory.
