Well, it's been a month since my last report. I hope you guys had fun during my absence, because I most certainly did.

Now that I am back, I am left to wonder where to go from here. First of all, there's this big gaping hole on deck 15 that I am pretty sure was not there when I left. I am getting assurances from all sides it was an asteroid, but somehow I suspect someone was partying a little too much after earning a promotion to Major.

Oh well, onto this week's bad news. We had to say goodbye to LCM Lady labyrinth who was declared AWOL after last month's evaluations were processed.

That's it for the bad news, on to the good news, and we have plenty of it!

First of all, former Beta Commander GN Golbez Harvey was awarded a Silver Star of the Empire for his services as Commander. Then, the MShipE was processed, with two more Silver Stars awarded, one for Major Silvius, the other for myself. But - also kudos to COL Rau Aznable who earned himself his 10th Bronze Star of the Empire!

As you may have noticed, two new pilots have joined our ranks - SL Michael LeRoy reinforces Epsilon, while SL Flavius Aetius will attempt to make his mark in Beta.

There's also been a few changes in the works. Most important of course the change where each pilot is now expected to BSF their own pilotfiles. Also, the position of Warden of the Imperial Archives is about to be filled, and I've already put some code into place on the TC website so he can get to work. Assuming of course people will send him fictions to upload.

With that, a belated grats to MAJ Task for not destroying the Hammer during my absence.
 

Soon I will command this ship. Soon, Glory will be onto the mighty Hammer!

It's been a tough month with the COM's absence. Several incidents happened, of which full reports have been made. I have submitted a complaint to the COM about every single pilot aboard the Hammer, seeing how not a single one submitted a fiction for the COM's competition!

You have not heard the last of this!
