Sapphire Squadron Report #3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510...

(Okay, to save time, call it Report Pi)

(Again, no RP this week, since we're in the whole... Invasion-period-timefreeze loop)

-Commander's Word-

Seen more activity this week, which is good... though some of you are still far too silent for my liking. The email list exists for a reason, and contrary to the current trend in the Brotherhoood, I prefer to think of it as an open communication channel. So talk, or something. I don't like squawking to myself.

We did have a bit of discussion about what ships Sapphire would be using after the Orian Invasion and such... I'd still like to hear people's thoughts on the matter if you haven't already chimed in!

-Promotion-

It's very nice to have this section in the report this week.

Congratulations go out to our resident eager-beaver, Anubis Wrath, for achieving the rank of Jedi Hunter. He's already started on his Knight Trials, and I fully expect to write into one of these reports the awarding of his Knighthood. Keep at it!

Anubis also changed his DJB email this week, in case anyone still has the old one stored... it's now [Log in to view e-mail addresses]

-Medals-

Eldrad Sin flexed his HALO-addict muscles, and received no less than 19 Clusters of Fire for the Halo 3 Launch Event! That's a lot of power-sword stabbings. (And i would know the power of HALO addiction. Be warned... it WILL cause you to fail classes! -_-)

Devani Maharet increased her collection of Crescents (Ruby Star this time) for winning the September Fiction Monthly Topic! Congratulations Devani... gonna share your entry?

-Afterword-

Today, a reading...

A Poem

    A Raven  

Midnights so dreary, tired and weary,

Silently pondering volumes extolling all by-now obsolete lore.  

During my rather long nap - the weirdest tap!

An ominous vibrating sound disturbing my chamber's antedoor.  

    "This", I whispered quietly, "I ignore".  

Perfectly, the intellect remembers: the ghostly fires, a glittering ember.

Inflamed by lightning's outbursts, windows cast penumbras upon this floor.  

Sorrowful, as one mistreated, unhappy thoughts I heeded:

That inimitable lesson in elegance - Lenore -  

    Is delighting, exciting...nevermore.  

Ominously, curtains parted (my serenity outsmarted),

And fear overcame my being - the fear of "forevermore".  

Fearful foreboding abided, selfish sentiment confided,

As I said, "Methinks mysterious traveler knocks afore.  

    A man is visiting, of age threescore."  

(And yes, there's a reason for the reading.)
