Fiction

Pete Recovers

Pete climbed out of the bacta tank in the medical bay of the Challenge.  He showered off and put his uniform back on.  He looked at his knee braces, but decided against wearing them.  They were too much of a pain.

“Can I fly yet, Doc?”

MAJ Murdock looked at Pete and shook his head.  “No, you’ve got at least a few more weeks.  Don’t make me restrain you to keep you from flying…”

“Ok, Ok, I just thought I’d ask.”

Just then Pete’s comlink beeped.  “Fleet Admiral Mitchell, How are you recovering?”

“I’m doing well Hav, but the Doc still won’t let me fly.”

“Well, that’s too bad, but be patient.  In the meantime, I have something to show you.  Can you swing by the Warrior’s hangar?”

“Last time I was there, I got splattered all over the side of your ship!  But, yes I can catch a ride over there”

Pete sat in the cabin of a transport on his way to the Warrior and couldn’t stop thinking about how awful it is to not fly at all.  The transport landed and the ramp opened up.  Pete stood and walked down the ramp with a slight limp. 

VA Hav Antiel was waiting for him.  There was no one else around. 

“A smaller welcoming committee than normal…”

“You were never one for formality anyway.”

“True.”

“This is top secret anyway.”  Hav lead Pete over to the corner of the hangar which was cordoned off with temporary walls and a few guards.

“What have you got here?”

“Step inside…”

Pete walked in the large room within the hangar and couldn’t believe his eyes…

News

TCCOM’s log:  It’s been two weeks since my last report.  I hang my head in shame…

Welcome to the rare but beautiful gem of a TCCOM report!  It’s been a heck of a week in RL that sapped all my energy, but hopefully I get some reprieve from work now. 

In the past two weeks, we’ve got plenty of news. We welcomed LCM Favdaukar back to the fleet as he joined Sin Squadron and said goodbye for now to LT Jaxx as he left for the reserves. 

We also had two promotions.  First COL Earnim Branet, the esteemed CMDR of Sin Squadron became General Earnim Branet!  SL8c8 was also promoted to LCM. 

MSE’s are underway and the Warrior’s are complete.  I will be looking through the Hammer’s shortly.

Also, the Kappa KMDR position is open for applications.  MAJ Aldaric will stay in place until a replacement is found.  This is a great way for anyone willing to step up to help advance their career with rewarding work!  Please send applications to VA Hav Antiel.

The Saturday evening TC vs RS MP night is now official, so show up at 7 pm EST/4 pm pacific for those matches and work towards a DFC!

TC folks are still meeting up on Thursdays, though we have changed the time to 8pm EST, 5PM Pacific.

BSF’s are due by Midnight GMT May 31^st. 

Rules:

Every month, there will be a full battle from each of the major SP platforms (TIE, XvT, XWA) assigned.  Pilots will fly each battle that they choose and BSF the battles to the TC database and forward the BSF email to Pete Mitchell.  If the pilot has earned a high score, BSF it and also send the pilot file to Pete Mitchell in case the BSF is not approved in time.  Please also forward the BSF confirmation to Pete Mitchell as well. 

Each month the pilot with the highest score in each platform will earn 10 points.  The next highest score will earn 9, the next highest 8, then 7, then 6 and so on.  All submissions will earn at least 5 points.  Any mission high scores, will earn 1 bonus point, and any battle high scores will earn 2 bonus points.  High scores are determined at the time the BSF was submitted.  If a high score is beat by another pilot in the same competition that submitted after, both pilots will receive the bonus points.  If a pilot submits a BSF that would have been a high score, but was beat by another pilot that submitted before, no bonus points will be awarded to the second submission.  Points will accumulate for the year for more awards. 

Participation points will also be tallied by ship and squadron.  One point per battle flown.  Flying participants of top participating ships and squadrons will earn extra rewards.
