[0900 Hours, Temporary House Reinthaler Base]

The recruits of Black Phoenix stood at rigid attention in their black armor and robes. Outward, they were immobile, faceless destroyers. Behind the masks, their true faces figeted in anticipation. They weren't trained to wait, they were trained to fight and to crush with their power.

The door opened and another black armored member walked in. However, he was distinguished from the rest by a scarlet lining on his cloak. With his presence, the members straightened more than they had been. He was followed by another member whose cloak was bordered in crimson.

The scarlet clad member walked to the small podium set up in the room, where he turned to address the members. He removed his helmet, displaying an aged face with a dark blonde goatee, neatly trimmed. His eyes roved the room as he cleared his throat to begin. "You may remove your helmets."

There was a hiss as the helmet seals were broken and one by one the helmets came off. The scarlet member leaned back on his heels. "Now then, let us begin this meeting. I won't keep you long, but there are some things we need to discuss.

First, introductions. As you probably know by now, my name is Severon Vercingetorix. I will be your Commander for quite some time I believe. So, from now on, you are to refer to me as Commander Vercingetorix.

Beside me is your new Flight Leader, Sato Tarentae. You are to show him your utmost respect as he is not only your Flight Leader, but he is a Tarentae. If anyone disrespects him, I will personally see you off this team.

As we do not have a base yet, we will not have inspections. However, starting tomorrow, your training begins. This includes physical workouts, lessons, and Force Training.

Welcome to Black Phoenix.

Dismissed."

Hello Black Phoenix and House Reinthaler!

As I mentioned earlier, there is no base for us yet :P However, as soon as the results of Saitou's House competition are in, I will be picking a place shortly. Be ready as we will have inspections! :)

Also, As you all know by now, Black Phoenix is the official Fiction Battleteam for House Reinthaler. This means, that if you like writing and want to either get better or help others get better, this is for you. We will do all sorts of writing from small Battleteam Run-ons in the forums (if you don't know what a run-on is we will teach you) to fiction and other writing competitions.

All the competitions I need participation for is Saitou's which is on the website (I cannot get it for you as the db site is slow right now). Participate in this so we can have a House base!

In activity for the Battleteam,

Member Liram Winterhaart lost a hard fought battle in the ACC to Dark Jedi Knight Teu Pepoi. Although she lost, Liram's writing was excellent and she fought very hard. Please congratulate her on a good battle.

I myself won an ACC battle because of time out.

That's all.
