Sigma Weekly Fiction Prelude by MAJ Len Eode *ISDII Warrior's Flight Deck - Today 0549h* Len and Exar walked towards under the gantry that guides the TIEs to the launching rack and the repair shops. This mission had been tough, a simple patrol that had ended with a small New Republic force popping in for a hit and run attack. "It makes me nervous that the NR is getting this bold," Len said "makes me think they're up to something." "Anything unusual in the intelligence reports?" Exar asked. "Nothing that screams we're coming after the Emperors Hammer, especially after their defeat this past summer." Len pondered this, there had been no reports of any activity of any kind on the NR forces. The only activity noted in the EH region had been some smugglers. Len stopped in his tracks, “Exar, go back to your ship and pull all the flight recorder information you can!” Exar nodded and ran back to his TIE Advanced. Keying a few buttons on his commpad he repeated the same message to Crix and Spiffy.
*Sigma Commander's Office - Today 0601h* "I'm sorry to get you out bed so early sir, but this is quite interesting," Len said standing at attention as VA Plif walked into the room. "You have any coffee, Captain?" the Admiral replied. Len handed him a fresh cup and poured him some from the machine in the office. "Thanks," he took a sip, "what is this all about?" Len turned the monitor on his desk so that both of them could see it "Well sir, after speaking with intelligence and with the other Squadron Commanders in the Wing, we have noticed a pattern of attacks on our patrols. Just before we get to the defense perimeter, two flights come in and attack like so and try and draw us to the waiting squadron like this." Plif nodded, "Sounds like a solid tactic to me, question is why is intelligence mentioning only pirate movements and not something like this?" . . .
*Sigma Commander's Office - present* So it looks like the New Republic may be on the move, and there may be more going on in Intelligence than meets the eye. Keep your eyes on the lookout as you fly. I hope that you all enjoyed the fiction this week, next week the story will continue! As I mentioned above the MSEs will be submitted 30 minutes after the report is sent out. Let me know what you think of the new report structure. Don't forget the new week of Warrior Trivia starts today. We are Sigma, we are the Sum of All Fears! |
