This is kind of a somber report for me. To the members of the AG, the FC and XO, I apologize for having missed the last two reports. I found myself swamped in school work and bound to GSAR activities, and unable to find alot of free time, stalemated a bit. So, in order not to harm the AG, this will be my final report as Lord Ambassador of the Emperor's Hammer.

I had hoped to get through working with the Imperial Embassy (the idea was to have an Encyclopedia type place with info on all of our allies, in a comprehensive database for everyone's use), though it looks like I won't be completing that as planned. Before I go, I'd like to review some of the achievements we've accomplished together during my time as LA.

The website. This seems to have been a rare commodity for the last couple of Lord Ambassador's. With no semblance of a website even appearing for the last few, we (Notably, CPT Crix Madine, with a little help from myself) managed to bring us a fantastic looking website (http://ag.minos.net). Consequently, during this time and shortly after my promotion to LA, Colonel Maaric and I largely rewrote the Advanced Guard Manual. With his help, we restructured the Advanced Guard into a seriously working model, resembling that of a real diplomatic organization. The Allies. During my stint, thanks to some creative work from my society of Envoy's, we managed to create four or five new Alliances - more than the past several LA's combined. Throughout this time, we've managed to keep diplomatic relations with our allies and sister clubs, which was partially due to the help of my handful of active Ambassador's. Organization was a factor, as well. Thanks to Viceroy Ironfist, we kept the State Department running, and to Keiran - I'm sorry for not being able to find a Think Tank job for you, much less help you with the ISC. I did want to help you out with that project... my deepest apologies. :(

Basically, thank you to the entire Advanced Guard. What we accomplished here during my tenure, we accomplished together. Any ideas I thought up were duly executed by all of you, and for that, I thank you. Nothing would have been possible without your diligence. We owe the current successes of the AG to you members, and you only.

To GA Ronin and SA Astatine: My apologies for kind of slacking off during these last few weeks. I had too many big projects and exams due and coming up for school, and too much to do with GSAR. I wanted to stick through it, and come out the other side ready to start busting my arse again, but I consistently find myself dead tired and burned out everynight. I thank you both for giving me the shot to perform as LA, and I hope that with what the AG accomplished during this time, I haven't dissapointed either of you too much. I look forward to the day where I may earn my chance to serve in the upper echelons of the Emperor's Hammer again, and do my part to help improve the club. I apologize for having to cut my reign a little short, but real life has taken it's toll on me immensely. Best of luck running the club, and thank you both for all the hard work you put into it everyday.

To the AG: Thank you all for everything. Experiences, memories of my time here... nothing could have been accomplished if it wasn't for you. This is a fine group of people here, and I wish you all the best in the future.

To conclude, you'll all be able to find me around the EH somewhere or another, if anyone needs to find me. Just look a bit, and I'll be there. Thank you all again, and I look forward to being able to serve with you all again someday.

Serving the Emperor's Hammer,

Respectfully Submitted,

Rear Admiral Wes Janson (Ret.)
