Aalos Fier sat at the desk he had been given in a ship board office. He sighed as he helped tally the loses with the former battle team leader of Exar’s Shadow.

“These losses are a bit saddening,” spoke Dismal. He set aside his last set of papers.

“Only those we needed to lose are gone, however sad it may be,” spoke Aalos.

“We could have used the men in battle later.”

“It is not the lack of forces in battle that concerns me, those we have left are proven warriors. Those men were not to be thrown away needlessly in battle, but to be used to make ourselves greater. Battle alone does not accomplish this feat.”

Dismal stared at the battle worn Jedi Hunter. He turned the words over in his mind. Aalos was older then Dismal and hardened by combat through the years. “You do not think that defeating the Vong and driving them from the galaxy would be enough to secure our rule?”

Aalos smiled “No, we would then be viewed as a greater threat then the Vong, though we would never accomplish such a feat alone. Not as we are now. No, we are gaining in strength, even with our loses. It is time that everyone realize that this war is far from over.”

Dismal smiled “You are wiser then many Jedi Hunters out there, indeed then many knights. You previous expierence pays off.”

Aalos looked straight at Dismal “Are you done with your petty tests? I have business with the Exar’s Shadow.”

Dismal nodded “Yes, understand I had to ensure you were still thinking clearly after the onslaught.”

Aalos Fier nodded “Yes, but with the restructuring of the team I need to be very careful. No more of this half trained junk. It is time for war, and they shall be truly trained for it, I will not lose men needlessly.”

Dismal smiled “You will be a great leader Aalos. Have you chosen a second?”

“I brought Brema into the position. I have even added one new member to the Battle Team so far. We need to get up to strength,” said Aalos.

Aalos rose and headed for the door, Dismal rising behind him, moving slowly from his remaining injuries from the embrace of pain, and heading in the opposite direction. Aalos found himself shortly joined by Arcadian.

“How did your team fare?” said the fellow Jedi Hunter.

“No losses to speak of. What about yours? Satal Victus do alright?”

Arcadian nodded “We lost some minor support staff. But we fought hard. I hear things are moving along well in repairs. I wonder where we will go now.”

Aalos’s cloaked and armored shoulders shrugged, “Who knows, it doesn’t matter to me as long as I can get my team trained up.”

“Same here, we need to get them more military oriented and fast,” said Arcadian.

Aalos walked a few more steps “Alright, how about cross training against each other the next few weeks? We need to get a feel for where they stand anyways don’t we? This might be the solution.”

Arcadian nodded “Yeah, I agree. I was hoping you’d be open to the idea, seems we think along the same lines.”

Aalos nodded at his counterpart as they parted ways. It seemed that the training was going to begin immediately.

OOC:

Real quick…no this report does NOT follow the standard format nor will ANY of my reports, I get personal with my stuff and I also want you to read it to find the info you need. Also, sorry this is late, I was waiting on something for the report which I still don’t have but I am tired of delaying.

Guys, I am HIGHLY impressed with the clans results for the GJW. Activity was great. I think we could have done better but training for all of that will commence…now actually.

I really want to say…look at all the shiney’s! I am not even gonna try to list them all. Good Job though to Koga, Brema, Jaden, Gala, Sunflash, and Maol. I came out fairly decently myself and I am proud to say I led you bunch for at least part of the war. Dismal did a good job for the other part.

Now then, each issue I will answer one question someone asks me…be serious with it, I mean it!

To start off with I’ll just introduce myself. I am Johnny, that’s my real name…well, it’s actually Jonathan. Most folks out in the real world know me as Texas Johnny. I work at my college’s dorms so I been busy the last few weeks. I am a bronc rider, and yes, I am crazy. I am also a former Marine…as former as any Marine can get anyways. That’s a bit about me.

Now to the fun part…

WE ARE GOING TO FIGHT SATAL VICTUS!

Not a BT war, but a training deal. For now I just need to know who is interested in a gaming ladder…and what games they are willing to play. Once we have this info we will set up how the ladder will go. There will also be fiction and graphics, so don’t think I am leaving any aspect uncovered, I might even be persuaded to do a poem! Maybe…

Lets hop to it guys!
