SSSD SOVEREIGN NEWS, 5-28-03
COM/AD Proton reporting for the SSSD Sovereign, flagship of the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet.
SOVEREIGN AND FLEET NEWS AND NOTES
-- Sovereign Squadron League round 6 is under way! Fly TIE-Free 229, XvT-Free 138, and XWA-Free 70.
-- I've made my recommendation to the Flight Office for the new Wing III WC. Stay tuned for official word.
-- Operation Outrageous Fortune, it seems the fleets have lost their hyperdrives and are marooned in space. The wargame will be called off, with clear victory conditions far out of reach, but backup calculations coming from the War Office putting some substance to the results. The Sovereign wargame was a great experiment, and we learned a lot, and a lot from our mistakes. I appreciate the involvement of all who participated.
-- Wolverine is holding a "Wing IV Summer Bash" competition.
-- Stele and Tempest cooking up a chess/wargame for Wing II.
-- Rat Pack vs Wing IV CMDRs. Results pending from LC Mike upon his return from leave.
-- Speaking of the Rat Pack, I have reassumed command of this unofficial squadron, at least pending Mike's return from leave and his intentions with the Rat Pack. I for now plan to update the RP Web page and begin handling our results and comps.

MEDAL DENIAL OF THE WEEK
The Imperial Security Medal will not be awarded to:
FC/GA Ronin/CS-1/SSSD Sovereign
(Recommendation reason: Why not? He's the Fleet Commander, and he does a darn good job. He's been especially admirable during this whole separatist DB thing. Hey c'mon, he deserves one. Let's show some love.)
Reason for denial: Keep within your area of responsibility.
CANTINA COMMENTS
"Sorry guys, but can you take me off this email chain, it's getting in the way of all the pr0n spam I'm getting :P " -HA Pri
"Oh, has Omega ever had a female pilot before??
Just a thought.." -AD Joe
"Uhm...
*hides the lipstick*
Don't think so.. *shifty eyes* " -CM Ras Kronar
"Dang, that just gives me chills. :P " -COL Inkwolf (reacting to SuperSquirrel photo posted by Ninj)
" That's definitely odd... Makes me take a suspicious look at all the squirrels in my backyard ;P " -MAJ Argon Viper
" *puts away the pellet gun and closes the backdoor*
hmmm, Super-squirrels, that would explain a little...
*limps off towards the med bay, bleeding from many small clawed open holes* " -CPT Psyko
"Never seen that before... I've found pieces of squirrel after our cat, but no trace of the suit.... :P" -Zyrax
"Proty gots an IC, WAYHEY, BUMP HIS BAR TAB!" -Sirik
"**Inserts COM's "special operations" credit card into cantina computer
system**
Drinks on the COM :) " -AD Proton
"GOOD GOD!!!!!!
Proton "paying" for drinks, no way I'm I gonna miss this its gotta be a
first :P" -COL Reaper
"I know! Usually we just steal them from his private stash, and in the end
we are the ones who pay, although not with money." -LC Mike Chistu
"And lo, the card which gave credit freely was deposited forthwith into
the reading slot thusly, and the night became as day, and the day became
as night, and the booze flowed freely and surely. And there was much
rejoicing!" -COL Sasquatch
"and as if from the heavens, the voice boomed over the land, "Honey, Proton,
Where did all the money go?" "ummm, not sure dear, What did YOU buy?" -FA Cyric
"Ya know, being a cop is kinda funny... tonight, I was sitting in my patrol car and listening to some calls coming in a larger town south of me.. The first one was a report of a domestic disturbance with a wife attacking her husband with a weapon.. but no, not a butter knife or something 'normal' ooooh no... she was attacking him with a sword.. hehehe Yeah.. a freakin sword! I was laughing for awhile on that one.. unfortunatly, I dont know who won :P" -AD Joe
"LOL ... this is especially funny for me, because I know a guy who
actually collects swords. And he is married. And I wouldn't be
surprised at all if his wife has already given some serious thought
to actually using one of those swords on him ;-) " -COL Sasquatch
"Yeah, that is one reason I have no weapons in *my* house =/ " -AD Proton
"Oh I thought You WERE the weapon Proton, Guess I was wrong, WUSS" -FA Cyric
"Umm, do the women really need a reason to grab a gun or sword and go psycho on you , really? I thought that they just did it anyway. I think its like a right of passege into some "lorraina bobbett penis trophy club" :) " -FA Cyric
"Shhhhh!! My girlfriend is sitting on the bed right now typing away on her laptop and I have about 10 swords and 8 guns within 5 feet of her.. Luckily, I havent pissed her off.. quite the opposite! >:P " -AD Joe
"Mental Note: Give Talons a few sedatives...." -Sirik
"No, no, not a FORK. A *SPORK*, which is like a spoon with a forked end! :p " -Doctor Chris
"a spork is a space pork
*the drummer in the back makes an end joke roll*" -Roasty
"And now it's time for....PIIIIIGS IIIIN SPAAAACE!....." -COL Inkwolf
"I can fly! /me jumps off the roof to show this fact everyone.
'See? I told you I...BASH' " -LC Wolverine
"The 'office' is where I get my best bouts of shut-eye. I've had many a
relaxing time looking at the inside of my eyelids at my place of work...then
again, it's usually in a lecture theatre, with the soothing montone voice of
proffessor lulling me into doze :P
Saying that, Sas's desk is quite comfortable as well, and its contents have
yielded some quite profitable blackmail material. The locks on the drawer
labelled 'Omega's Secret Recipes' has proven frustratingly stubborn however
and I'm dying to get the formula for Sas's Famously Crumbly Corellian Carrot
Cake. Is it 1 bottle of whiskey or two I have to put in? :P
On a similar note, 'grats to Grue for getting his 'Bloody Rebel' recipe up
on the Sov Comments...I wonder how many Sov Wingers are coughing their
internal organs right now. Serves 'em right for having livers I guess." -MAJ Brandon
"BTW, it's two bottles of whiskey for the cake. I had hoped to keep my
previous life as a baker secret, but everytime I think I'm out, they keep
pulling me back in ... !!!" -COL Sasquatch
" Wellll You could be one of those Kick-ASS bakers.. like that cook it Under Seige >:P food for thought.. HAHAHAHAHAHAha couldnt help it >:P " -AD "lame joke" Joe
"Steven Seagal
IS
COL Sasquatch
IN
"Under Siege III : Sink the Sov!"
;-) " -COL Sasquatch
"Hey, congrats Joe! Now you be sure to have a couple of stormtroopers as your ushers ;-)" -COL Sasquatch
"Ah, who needs sleep anyway? Sleep is for Rebels ;-)" -COL Sasquatch
"No, DEATH is for Rebels (and dead Rebels are for Grue). Sleep is for Omega after we KILL the Rebels.
And... well, give the dead Rebels to Grue." -GN Compton
"Well I've allocated all my sleep time to partying and women as of late...
Hence the problem, not enough time to go around. I've concluded I need a 36
hour day if I hope to get any rest at all!" -COL Brian
"Just hit the fu**in HyperSpace button in order to make tactical-run-
for-our-lives manuever, that's it ! :P" -LC Wolvie
"We are still without Wing Commander, which caused a little chaos as I noticed. I don't thing that lack of superior can make you a lazy ass, so be active and you'll be rewarded:) " -MAJ Ace Hobbes
"Actually, the LSN (Long shiny needle) isn't so bad. In comparison. Carl, of course, (I think) created the idea of the LRTN (Long Rusty Twisted Needle), but I don't think I've actually *used* that one yet...." -Doctor Chris
"I don't know, it's hard to do things with a needle, although that's half the fun ;) Ah well, I've used my rusty spoon for most of my operations, but the wooden spoon was pretty interesting, especially since it had no cutting edge and they get to deal with the fun of splinters even after I finally sewed em up ::evil gin:: (can you believe there's no good emoticons for that emotion of all of them?)" -MAJ Argon Viper
"Chistu-san, ahhhh.. You have earned your saki tonight! Now, remember
your training! Wax on! Wax off! Wax my fighter!
(*ducks*)" -LC Freelancer
"On another note, and this is something that you should be very proud of,
I've noticed going through all of the squadron/wing/com reports from your
BG that the SOV BG seems to have an unbelievable amount of camaraderie that
is unparalleled in the TC. I was an ASF'er for many years, and saw similar
camaraderie there, but what your group has is fantastic." -FA Cyric
"(*Swells with pride*)
Yep, yep, yep ... Never been off the Sov. Never intend to. Best ship in the
fleet, baby!" -COL Sasquatch
