Battle Team Leaders Report - Shadow Gate

Bothan Assault Cruiser Shadow

In Orbit around Kalsunor

His hand pulled back from the man’s throat as the proboscises slid from the nostrils and slithered back into their hiding place, their job done and the Anzat's addiction sated for the moment. The dusty overalls indicated the man to be a low level serf of the One Sith, most likely taken prisoner during the battle for the planet they currently orbited. A loud tut made him spin on his heel and stare at the intruder, there leaning on the door way cocky grin plastered upon his lips stood his Master and long time friend.

Etah moved into the room, kicking the body with his foot to make sure the man was truly dead, the eyes rolled up and liquid dripping from the nostrils gave a clear indication he was "You know Deimos, when we give you prisoners to extract information from we don't expect you to pick their brains quite so...thoroughly. This room stinks enough of whatever that is without you dropping bodies all around the place." He gingerly stepped over the body and clasped his friend on the shoulder "Anyway, come on we need to get to the debriefing."

Deimos almost shuddered at the touch but allowed it, physical contact wasn't his thing unless it involved feeding or interrogation, no matter how used he was to Etah if still felt weird, he eyed the corpse as they left the Interrogation room and turned his attention to the part before him, lazily reaching up and untying his hair from the tail it currently sat in "the man knew nothing, apart from the numbers of some parts he was waiting on, and before you ask if I'm sure the answer is yes. I did t even need to use all the tricks in my book, a simply mind trick had him telling me what I needed to know... Which was nothing." He took in the disappointed look on his fellow and sighed slightly "not everyone is a useful bag of information Etah, if I had proved his mind and subjected him to his fears he would of broken, and though the sight would of been delicious I had to... Curb my addiction for the time being."

Etah gave him a mocking glare before a swift punch on the shoulder, Deimos stated daggers at him, which only drew a larger grin. They walked in silence, from then on the sound being the footsteps on the metal floor and the voices if ship crew, military forces and other Arconan's going about their business. Soon they came upon the room they needed and Etah held out an arm stopping Deimos from entering straight away "Look I want you to introduce the meeting this time, I'll give the report but I think you shoos give it a shot talking to these guys. I'm not taking no for an answer by the way. Oh and before you go in wipe whatever 'that' is from your cheek."

The Anzat reached up and ran his fingers across his cheek cleaning them, as he finished the door slid open and he felt himself being guided into the room by the man behind him and up to the briefing podium. A dozen pairs of eyes stated back at him and rather than turn to Etah he took a step back adjusted his robes and rested a hand on either side of the podium before him "Ladies and Gentleman, as you are all aware we stood against mighty opposition in the battle for the planet below us. The battle was hard fought and perhaps some of you are thinking was it worth it? Well u can answer that now, it is always worth it and as it has been before and it shall be again we have overcome all odds and achieved victory! However if was not a simple affair like some have been before, this battle was close far too close but as it stands we have overcome our toughest opponent yet and emerged victorious!" He banged his fist upon the podium for dramatic effect; it really didn't serve any other purpose. He looked up however and fixed his stare on each pair of eyes in the room, one after the other. “Your efforts make me proud, they make Etah proud and sure they make the big guys proud. So before Etah takes the podium allow me to say, Arcona Invicta!"

Hey everybody!

Last phase of the Dark Crusade is over and we have some down time before the next. I encourage everyone to work on their wiki’s, to make new character sheets and do other sporadic things to remain active over the next few weeks.

Gate Steward Deimos created the following competition for that reason:

http://https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/competitions/7157

Additionally our very own Ood created a few competitions for the entire Clan:

https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/competitions/7141

https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/competitions/7142

And Sanguinius of Galeres created the following competition for the Clan:

https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/competitions/6158

I especially recommend doing these competitions for the journeymen of the Battle Team

Dark Crusade

Here is what our battle teams participation looked like in the last round of the Dark Crusade.

Timeros Caesus Entar Arconae - 4/4

Strategos Thanatos Entar Arconae - 1/4

Saiketsu - 1/4

Ood Bnar - 1/4

Invictus - (SF) 4/4

Etah d'Tana - 2/4

Graus Colvin - Excused from DC

Fet'ai'narun - 3/4

Deimos d'Tana - 4/4

Incendus Layon Krayt - Excused from DC

Kanis Da'uul - 1/4

Marrek Gunstinsonc -Excused from DC

So if we count the excused absences our battle team has a score of 1.75 but if those aren’t counted we arrive at a much better score of 2.3. Respectable but we could have done better, which defiantly includes me. Hats off to Tim, Vic and Deimos who couldn’t have done better, we should all aspire to that level of participation.

Wow lots and lots of Shadow Academy exams. Lots of competition in this category, but the winner is a tie between Kanis and Deimos who both completed 10 courses each. Or Ood might win by default because he spends every waking hour working on Shadow Academy material.
