It's an endurance race, not a sprint, something I remind myself of consistently as I try and make my way, day-to-day through the operations of Clan Odan-Urr and socializing among The Brotherhood. It's about having fun, doing the things you enjoy, and being around people you enjoy. I've done my best to espouse this belief to others as best as I could, but one case, in particular, took no convincing. Honestly, if I were to tell it, I'd say that he's the one who really convinced me of the virtues.
Eechee has always been one to take things at his own pace, landing and taking in the details of his surroundings in a flash and leaving his Wookie hair everywhere as he met everyone he could, his way through to his Steel Cross was a sprint while he acclimated himself to everything and everyone. Since then, however, has been Eechee as he is. In his element, grabbing what catches his fancy, and being a social menace, while leaving those in his wake filled with mirth. While he may not be blazing through every activity posted, or pushing his way into the GMRG Leaderboard, there is something Eechee excels at, genuine discussion and connection, never afraid to wade into social situations and meet new people Eechee has been quick to give a fresh breath of air (at least as far as Wookie Breath gets) into Clan Odan-Urr alongside the current Freshman Class.
In the last 3 months, he's helped me organize 7 competitions, as well as taken part in 41 Competitions (11 of which being Containers), earned 2 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 3 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 4 Crescents with Emerald Stars, and 49 Clusters of Earth. Eechee has also passed two courses in the Shadow Academy, earned several promotions within the Inquisitorius, and GMRG, and graduated from our Proving Grounds upon reaching JM4.
Through all of these achievements, I'm glad to award him his First Grand Cross, and see just where his endurance takes him.
Ever Onwards, Eechee.
