ISD-II Challenge
Tempest Squadron
Blown with the Wind #14
To: HA Anahorn Dempsey
From: COL Silwar Naiilo
Submitted on: 2020-10-14
For Dates: 2020-10-04 - 2020-10-10
From the Desk of Silwar Naiilo
COL Silwar Naiilo tried to add up the numbers on the bar tab, but they swam away whenever he focused too hard. Was it 10 or 100 bottles of Chalquilla that HA Dempsey had donated to MAJ Hermann's promotion party? At any rate, the bar tab would be a problem for the new major; Silwar folded the bill, took a now-cold empanada from a tray, and stumbled back to his office.
The biggest news of the week is MAJ Hermann's long-awaited promotion, after eighteen years and thousands of missions. That's mind-bogglingly over the requirements, so I am glad the paperwork finally found its way to HA Dempsey's desk. We also gained a new pilot in LT Rhygaar, who has already earned his first LoCs and his promotion from SL to LT. Sadly, he replaces LC Repulsor.
There is also a new competition running - Tempest Squadron Orders - where you can win an IS-BW every two weeks and an IS-SW or IS-GW at the end of the year. Simply fly the missions posted in each report, which will remain active for two weeks, and I will calculate the winners.
Lastly, we have new orders from the TCCOM for TIE Corps in Battle:
Squadron Orders
This is the first week these orders are active. You will have until October 25 to finish these missions for the high score competition.
- TIE-TC 121 - Battle of Principles
- XvT-TC 42 - More Power Part II
- XWA-TC 26 - Experimental Tie Evaluation

Apologies for the late report - I have been making additional improvements to the WSR tool that I am building, and I got a little carried away working on that... instead of writing the WSR. Back to the usual cadence for next week.
