Reporting Commander: Lieutenant Colonel Zekk Terrik

Squadron News & Commentary

I have decided to put the Adventures of Sin Squadron at the end, because I feel like some pertinent information might be getting buried in the report. Scroll to the bottom for Part III: The Gang Gets A New Wing Commander!

Been a quiet week for us again, although it looks like there was a lot of activity on the Star Conflict front. Some of us – such as MAJ Wondra – arose from a long slumber to show some activity. Thanks! I appreciate it!

We regretfully announce the departures of LT Zwilf and GN Ric to the Reserves this week – however, when the Force closes the door, it opens a window. Hopefully this will free up space for some much more active pilots.

Congratulations to all Sinners who received medals this week. Your beloved CMDR even got a couple.

Week 2 of Sin Trivia can be found here, you guys still have the rest of the day to complete it - https://tc.emperorshammer.org/timetest.php?testid=179004 I have received submissions from Coremy and Wondra so far, and it is very winnable still! The Sabine question was a trick question – she is NOT from House Wren. :D

Week 3 can be found here - https://tc.emperorshammer.org/timetest.php?testid=210574 It will be available Monday.

I have been periodically checking up on all of you on Telegram or Discord, but as always, I encourage all my pilots to reach out to me with any questions, feedback, or concerns. If I can’t help you, I bet I know who can.

Competitions

Here are the following competitions that Sin is participating in, whether squadron-only or part of the whole TIE Corps. As always I encourage you to visit the Competition Center (https://tc.emperorshammer.org/competitions.php?id=current ) to brush up on what’s going on in the TC as a whole. Keep an eye out for the Command Staff’s reports as they contain important information and competitions.

Please keep in mind you aren’t eligible to participate if you haven’t flown all the battles – that’s why I gave you a month. It’s a little concerning that only I’ve responded so far. :/

Closing Comments

I have seen a little bit of elevation in activity, but I still think we can do better. I think when everyone gets back from vacation and takes care of their obligations, we’ll have time for a little more fun. Don’t forget about the Ace Competition or it will have to be canceled! And now, I present to you all The Adventures of Sin Squadron Part III – The Gang Gets A New Wing Commander!

For the Empire! For Sin!

The Adventures of Sin Squadron Part III – The Gang Gets A New Wing Commander!

Zekk was lying face down in his bunk in his private quarters, coiled in a small nest of Ewok and Wookiee fur blankets and dreaming of busty Twi’lek women, when the intercom next to his bunk started to buzz. He hit the ignore button on it. He was off duty, and hungover. If he didn’t hear the battle stations alarm or mayday call, he wasn’t getting up. He heard some talking outside his quarters and, after a moment, the door hissed to open. Zekk didn’t move.
“Sir?” a voice said. It was Lieutenant Jack Wynand. Jack walked over and shook him a little. “Sir?”
“You are not a busty Twi’lek woman. Go away,” Zekk said.
“Sir, you are wanted on the bridge,” replied Jack.
“Tell them I’m off duty,” Zekk said. “And tell Hav I don’t have his money. He lost it fair and square. He’s lucky he didn’t lose his whole hand, honestly.”
“Sir, it’s a priority message from Vice Admiral Antiel. You are wanted urgently,” said Jack.
Zekk sighed as dramatically as possible. Of course it is, he thought. He sat up in his bunk. “Thank you, Lieutenant, you may go,” Zekk said.
“Sir!” said Jack, as he snapped a crisp salute and off he went. Zekk responded with the most half-assed salute possible as he stood up, checking to make sure he was presentable. For no reason he could figure out, he was already in his duty uniform. He looked over it carefully. It wasn’t even wrinkled.
“Huh,” Zekk said. He grabbed his lightsaber and clipped it to his belt, then went to the head to brush his teeth. He could taste the stale beer in his mouth. He looked at his toothbrushes.
I really should replace these, he thought.

He left the Sin bunkroom, saluting various pilots on the way out. It was a long walk from the barracks to the bridge, and it gave him time to think. Why was he getting a priority summons? Did he try to pick up on Hav’s woman at the cantina? He had barely spent any time with the Commodore; he didn’t know if he had a wife and family with him aboard the ship. Come to think of it, he didn’t remember much of last night at all.
He got just a few hundred feet from the bridge when a mouse droid crossed his path. He snarled at his mortal enemy and drew his lightsaber, igniting it. The mouse droid chirped and skittered away in fear. “Run, you little bastard!” he shouted, before putting his lightsaber away. He passed a couple Hammer’s Fist troopers guarding the entrance to the bridge as he walked in, all the way up past the communication pits and to the head of the bridge where the Commodore waited.
“Sir! Lieutenant Colonel Terrik reporting as ordered!” he said, coming to attention and snapping a salute.
“At ease,” replied Hav. Hav gestured to his feet, where a mouse droid sat. Zekk felt the hate building in him just looking at his mortal enemy. He noticed this particular mouse droid had a large dent in the side, and the black paint was scuffed off. “Do you recognize this mouse droid, Zekk?”
“I’m sorry, sir, I don’t,” Zekk replied. He genuinely didn’t, but then again, there were large gaps in his daily memory, usually happening shortly after visiting the cantina. The commodore held out a hologram disc that he turned on, showing an image of Zekk drop-kicking a mouse droid down the hallway of the Warrior. Zekk swelled pride.
“Lieutenant Colonel Terrik, we have here security footage of you punting my personal, tricked out mouse droid down the hallway. You damaged his chassis and scuffed his paint,” Hav said. Zekk’s swelling quickly deflated. “Were you aware that this was my personal mouse droid?”
“No sir, I was not. I do apologize,” Zekk replied.
“I think the reason you punted this mouse droid is because it was defenseless against your assaults, Lieutenant Colonel. There was nothing protecting it,” replied Hav.
“Sir, that is not the reason. I assaulted the mouse droid because it is evil. They are worse than Rebels. They must all be destroyed,” said Zekk, as firmly as if he were quoting scripture.
“Whatever the reason, I have now developed safeguards to protect my mouse droid. You aware, yes, that I have the authority to promote any and all officers of my ship up to the rank of General?” said Hav.
“Yes sir, I am,” replied Zekk, not sure where this is going.
“And you are aware, yes, that there is currently an opening for Wing Commander of Wing II?” questioned Hav.
“Yes sir, I am,” said Zekk. He still wasn’t sure where this was going, but it wasn’t going anywhere good.
“I have contacted the TIE Corps Flight Office on Aurora Prime and called in a favor from Fleet Admiral Pete Mitchell. Effective as of last night, my mouse droid was conscripted into the TIE Corps. After bribing the trainers aboard the Daedalus, Cadet Mouse Droid received his flight certification as was assigned to the ISD Warrior and promoted to Sublieutenant,” said Hav.
“Sir….” said Zekk, trying to stop this before it happened.
“Effective immediately, I am promoting Sublieutenant Mouse Droid to the rank of Colonel, and assigning him as Wing Commander of Wing II. Should you assault him in the future, you will be court martialed for assaulting a superior officer and conduct unbecoming an officer of the Imperial Navy. Furthermore, every time you are promoted, Colonel Mouse Droid will be too. When you are promoted to Colonel, we will promote him to General. If some day you become Commodore, he will be your battlegroup commander. We will also deduct from your pay the repairs necessary to repaint him and repair his chassis,” said Hav. He looked down at his droid. “Congratulations, Colonel Mouse Droid! Zekk, salute your new superior officer.”
“Sir...you can’t be serious,” replied Zekk.
“Salute Colonel Mouse Droid!” shouted Hav. Zekk threw the salute before he even knew he had done it.
The droid chirped happily. Zekk looked at the droid, resisting every urge to crush him with the Force, before looking back up at Hav. “Sir, what will Colonel Mouse Droid do when I am someday the Fleet Commander?” said Zekk.
“Then you will personally place my mouse droid on the Imperial throne in Coruscant and hail him as Emperor,” said Hav. Zekk groaned. “You are dismissed!”
Zekk snapped a salute and spun away, stomping past the communication pits. He heard a couple of junior officers snickering.
It would be a shame if Colonel Mouse Droid were to suffer an unfortunate accident away from the security cameras, thought Zekk.
