Floor 150, Tower of Glory, The Mirage

_"Colonel?"

The insistent voice pulled Dralin out of his reverie. "Yes, Corlis?" he replied, not taking his eyes off of the expansive vista that stretched out before him, traffic lanes stretching out from the Mirage like black veins from a grossly infected wound. The Mirage was his new home in the Yridia System, the elaborate combination of glamor, glitz, and commerce serving well to disguise the clandestine operations of running both Eden City's secret police, the Reckoners, as well as YSC INTEL. After the short-lived invasion by the Church of Infinite Perception, Dralin had moved INTEL into the Mirage with him, housing them and their equipment in one of the office spaces as headquarters, hiding them in plain sight.

"We have nothing to report, other than the usual interference from your Reckoners, sir."

Dralin shut his eyes tightly, irritation flashing across his face. The assassin-turned-officer had been attempting to get INTEL and the Reckoners to work together since taking over the team of which he was once lieutenant, but it seemed that the Eden City-based Reckoners resented what they saw as "outside interference" in their affairs.

"It looks like it's time we had another talk with them, Corlis." Turning, the Colonel left his quarters, nodding to the INTEL troops stationed at each side of the large doorway, ostensibly a part of the Mirage's security team that had been assigned exclusively to "Kaiman Sal," Dralin's alter ego. As Dralin and his right-hand man entered the turbolift, he entered his code cylinder into the concealed slot, turning it clockwise, and composed what he would say to his fellow Reckoners in his head as the lift began its descent into the hidden quarters of the Reckoners._

Activity

As it stands, the Reckoners are dead. I've been sending out emails, and have only received responses from two members. Members who can't even respond to an email or two are not active, and thus have no place in a battle team.

A Vendetta is fast approaching, and our House needs to be prepared for it. We have a House competition, a House run on to finish, but we need more. With the approval of Ronovi and Scion, I'm going to begin a couple competitions of our own, as well as a Reckoners-only run on. The Rite of Sin run on is going well, and I'd like to see the same effort from our own members as well.

Competitions

Currently, we have one Tarentum competition available, one which you should all compete in, since it involves our home, the Mirage. Eden's 11 is an Ocean's 11 scenario where a group of thieves conspire to rob the casino where we make our nest, and I can see them running afoul of us.

In addition, the Voice and the Fist have several competitions for you to show off in, and it would be a great way to get both yourself and Tarentum some more notice. If you ever need to see what competitions are available, all you have to check out is Stuff That Matters to Me, under the Competition Listing on the main site.

Records

To date, the only record I have of Reckoner activity for the past two months is that I've posted a few times in the House run on. Come on, guys, don't make me the only active one here.

Summary

We need to get this battle team moving. Our team did have the most participation and history, but now we are being sorely trounced by Rite of Sin. A team is nothing without its members, and a battle team cannot stand on its background alone. I need your help to get things going.

In addition, we need some new blood. If there is any Tarenti who is not already in a team, I open our doors to you.
