Theta Squadron WSR #12
180745ZAUG14

July has crawled on into August and unfortunately my continued internet exile is still ongoing, far from ideal and intensely annoying - particularly as post-RtF we've dropped into something of a funk and largely thanks to my own continued disappearing acts. Suffice to say the end is in sight, and at present we've a number of positives that will hopefully propel us back onto the wider TC stage with our more usual level of swagger and obnoxiousness.

Going outside of the squadron for a moment I'd like to congratulate Dempsey on promotion to GN, a heady rank that I'm desperately keen to acquire for myself in the due course of time. The TAC has been a continuing and positive influence for years and fully deserves this recognition. Equally a number of other officers have earned promotions and a series of outstanding awards post-RtF and all of them deserve praise and acknolwedgement - the last few years have seen me as an FM to CMDR through to FO/TCCOM and SOO and I can struggle to remember any time when I have had more confidence or pride in the group's achievements.

Leading neatly on to the real meat of this report, Theta awards. July's MSE focused largely on MoC reccs and had very few recommendations however a number of post-RtF awards were continuing to bubble away in the background. Foremost amongst these was the Grand Order of the Emperor awarded to Yoda for essentially his one-man approach to smashing apart all opposition during Raise the Flag. He broke the back of the Hammer and allowed the rest of us to mop up and certainly it would have been a damn close-run thing without him. Furthermore he took on the role of co-ordinating our squad efforts and did it with the kind of applomb that comes of true excellence - I heartily suggest all read the citation, due to it's length I can't really copy it here, but my heartfelt congratulations are extended all the same!

On a more trivial note the second round of the Warrior trivia is underway, the first one passed me by but I fully intend to join the effort - many thanks to Mark, Gilad and Yoda for participating in the 1st round and scoring the bulk of the points!

...I understand that this is a ship of war and run at a high tempo, I accept that this means our kit is often strained or run at high demand, we're a remnant and our ships are sectors distant from their home shipyards and facilities if we even owned them anymore. I accept all of these things and I get on with it... but... and I think I'm being reasonable here... I don't accept bloody mouse droids immolating in my private quarters - why the hell do I keep finding them there to start with, is there a software glitch and they think they're heading in for an oil bath? Why the hell do they then have a habit of exploding, I can't recall seeing them break anywhere, never mind bloody going up in bloody smoke! Get me the Engineering Officers now, bloody all of them!...
