[The Sword's Sheath, 1130 hours, conference room 12]

An older gentleman in gray robes with red trim stood at the head of a conference room table. The men and women gathered there looked well rested and clean. Many of the seats were empty. The lights were turned all the way up and the Aedile at the head of the table took a moment to make eye contact with everyone else in the room before beginning the morning's announcements.

"Welcome, friends. There are two major news items this week. The first is that our Consul has decided that Jedi Hunter Brimstone has completed his training. He has been elevated to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. Congratulations, Brimstone. I look forward to your continued service."

The Aedile looked around the faces of his House, and in particular all the empty chairs. "The second item of business is that we have trimmed our roster somewhat. In addition to those we have lost today, I have a short list of others who need to participate in something - anything - soon or they too will be reported as AWOL. I won't tell you who is on the list. I'd rather you all just assume you're on it and get active."

The Guardian waited a moment for the whispering to subside and for the remaining members of the House to stop giving him dirty looks.

"Finally, I am happy to report that we have a new Apprentice with us. I would like to introduce you all to an old friend of mine and Apollo's, Apprentice Bohica. We served together for many years in the Emperor's Hammer; indeed, he was our Commodore. I very much look forward to the opportunity to serve with him again."

Scion took a sip from a glass of water before continuing the day's announcements.

[OOC Notes]

The website is back up again. We do have a competition running right now that you can still participate in. The due date is this Friday.

Time to Train (All of Gladius, send entries to Scion):

http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/competitions.asp?ID=3777

We have gained a number of new members lately, but most of them have been awfully quiet. If any of you are interested in finding a Master to help guide you, please contact me by replying to this report and I will help you find somebody. The Master/Student Program (MSP) is by far the best way to become successful in the Dark Brotherhood. There is no substitute for having an experienced person there specifically to help you be successful.

[Reminders]

Please remember to let me know of anything you do that might count as activity. Don't worry about bothering me too much; it's my job to keep track of this stuff. Keep in mind that if you do something but you don't win any medals for it, I won't know about it unless you tell me. That includes ACC, wiki stuff, as well as submitting to competitions. Awards are tied to participation and it all still counts even if you don't win.
