_Dyrra surveyed her small office, which looked smaller than ever with the number of bodies crammed into it. She noticed the older Jade Serpents looking with suspicion at the newcomers. Understandable, she mused silently. There are an awful lot of them.

“Alright, you lot. Quiet down,” she announced, grateful when the noise muted almost immediately. Leaning back against the edge of her desk, she surveyed the newcomers with a piercing gaze as she continued speaking.

“So, those of you who have been here before have probably noticed some new faces...”_

Hello again, Jade Serpents!

Today’s report is only a short one, but there’s only a little bit to tell you.

Firstly, we have some new arrivals. I’d hope everyone will join me in welcoming our six new members: Kalam Lass, Brutis, Issan Navarr, Cheeto, Jai Nari and Valer Detarr! It’s good to see some new faces, hope to get to know you all either through email or on IRC.

You might also notice that PRT Jinius Griffin is no longer in our ranks – he has moved up to the Elite battleteam Sapphire Squadron, under the command of my good friend, Angral. This is what will hopefully happen to each of you eventually – you’ll prove yourself worthy enough to move up to Angral’s team.

NEWS AND COMPETITIONS

Well, Fractured Mirror finished – anyone who won anything will know by now, I believe. For those of you who missed out, don’t worry – word on the grapevine is that there’s going to be a Clan Feud later this year to look forward to.

Also, as a result of the Special Ops mission, the Night Raptors of house Marka Ragnos got the coveted ‘Consul’s Own’ title. Don’t worry, I’ve told Fremoc not to get too used to it. :D

As for current competitions – most people in the Clan seem to be taking a bit of a breather after Fractured Mirror, but I intend to have a competition going within the next few days for you to cut your teeth on.

PROMOTIONS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Krandon passed the Clan Naga Sadow history exam at the Shadow Academy. If you’ve not checked it out yet – you should. It tells you a lot about the history and notable people in our Clan. It is well worth a read of the notes.

As always, don't forget to CC me on any competition entries you do at [Log in to view e-mail addresses] and let me know how it’s going.

I’ve got plans in motion for you guys, however I’ve got to run out my house in five minutes, so I’m afraid they’ll have to wait for another day.

Until next time,

GRD Dyrra Skye

Sergeant of the Jade Serpents
