Obelisk Sergeant Report

Port Ol'val Gatewarden's Office

Tsainetomo sat at his desk, mountains of flimsi and half-perused datapads littering the surface. His eyes scanned the administrative mess from one end to the other and back again, and the Keibatsu's frustration mounted with each pass. 'A cell is no place for a warrior...' The thought, acidic and foreign, crawled across his lobe.

He was no administrator, yet here he was being asked by the Summit to forward an assessment of his team who, by its very definition, was not accustomed to being held to account.

Suddenly, the Gatewarden rose, the Darkside filling the space and his body with its sickly sweetness, and a roar tore itself from his throat as he lashed out, a telekinetic wave abruptly wiping the desk clean. The datapads crashed to the deck, and the sheets of flimsi fluttered about the space, casting odd shadows about the office.

Somewhat calmer, Sai looked towards the door, which was filled by the slight form of a youthful Zabrak female; she was pale, shorn, but she stood at attention, her muscles seeming to coil beneath her skin, a thin arm behind her back.

The Keibatsu and the Zabrak appraised one another until the last sheet of flimsi settled to the floor. "Well?" Sai asked impatiently. "You gonna use that thing, or are you gonna introduce yourself?"

The Zabrak moved her arm to her front, the small fist clutching a wicked dagger. "Nath Voth, reporting."

Sai smiled. Nath radiated a confidence that belied her youthful appearance and rank. "C'mon in." Nath stepped forward, the hatch sliding shut behind her...

Greetings, folk! Your favorite "AfroJedi" here, sending friendly missives from the Gate. This stands to be a short one, being m'first and all, but it's got some good stuff in here, and I promise the fictions will be shorter as the team accomplishes more. ;)

Firstly, there is a Clan-Wide Survey going on, and it's a good time to let your voice known. We on the Summit want you to know that we're really focused on making Arcona the best Clan and the best place to spend your free time. Check it out, please and thank you.

Secondly, the Dark Crusade continues...and we are well into Phase II. We've got some talented Arconans participating, and even if you're not, be sure to wish your Clanmates well when you run across them. Be sure to check out the run-on's; there's some good storylines going on, and I for one can't wait to see how the event plays out.

As I said earlier, the fictions will get shorter as the team does more. Even still, we've got some good stuff happening with our members:

I got a couple of goodies...but I'll leave it to my bosses to tell ya about 'em.

Zakath got a Dark Cross!

Graus Colvin got a Dark Cross!

Fet'ai'narun got a Steel Cross and an Emerald Crescent! She's also one task away from her Knighthood, so be sure to encourage her as she prepares to take up the 'saber for Arcona! Keep it up, Lils! ;)

Lastly, but definitely not least, Nath Voth was promoted to Protector! She's a relative newcomer here, but her enthusiasm is definitely reflected in her accomplishments, as she's owning the Shadow Academy and is crafting a very well-written Wiki even as you read this! Good stuff, Nath; <3 the 'glomps', and I can't wait to see what you do next!

I'd like to touch on something that's been tossed around lately; the idea of 'elitism', including among others, your leadership. I can tell you that, as a transfer from CNS, I personally have been welcomed by every single one of you who I've been lucky enough to come into contact with, and I gotta believe that that is a reflection of the Summit. You guys have been selfless, helpful, and genuinely seem to want to see Arcona and everyone it it do well and have a great time doing it.

Take that for what it is; I mean, I don't think I'll get the type of response to that along the lines of "What does Sai know? He's been here a good five minutes..." or anything like that. Because you guys don't have it in ya, from what you've shown me so far. You have displayed an awesome level of buy-in into what's going on around you, and I respect the hell out of that. You care...and I'm asking you, along with the Summit, to believe that we care, too.

Folks, we are a reflection of you, just as you reflect us. I love the fact that we have avenues to talk to one another openly, speak on issues with honesty, AND with the knowledge that things that are wrong will be righted. SOMETHING'S gotta be going right...right? Let's all try to remember that as we strive to do better, for Arcona, and for one another.

TL:DR

Really? You can't be bothered to read a report. See? That's what's wrong with society today... ;)
