Post by PainRack »

Decision to rewrite entire arc, starting over again.
Again,presenting to you Comstar newest division, Blake Blades.
New Earth Jan 1 3061
"Can you see them?"
"Hotel Six calling Hotel One, come in. Come in Hotel One..."
A shout came in over the lines. "Sir, Sigma isn't there...... Papa Mike isn't responding......... we're totally cut off!"
"Contact! 100m west 3, 5, Leonardo!.... 5 vehicles........ Puma, Fury, Two Burke and Goblin...... Speed of lead is 50klick!"
"Critical hit= Gyro. Critical hit= Engine. Critical hit= Left hand actuator. Critical hit= Gyro. Mission kill..... logging off."
"Damn..... That was nasty.......Anyone knows whether we're still winning?"




Simulated exercise GX-113 AAR summary
To= Precentor Pardeau
Co= Primus Mori
Good day sirs.The 79th Division today skirmished with the new cadres of Comguard trainees. Despite their status, the 79th division was effectively defeated in combat against rookies. The combat status reports are misleading, yes, the 79th achieved their primary objectives. However, combat losses were utterly unacceptable and in a real battle, Red Team possessed enough simulated combat power to successfully counterattack. Against potential WOB aggressors, if not Liao/Marik armies, the 79th would had been forced to concede our fragile positions in the Chaos March. Success against the Clans is not equivalent to victory against WOB raiders. With reference to OS-60-5835, Precentor Luacra inference appears to be valid. Awaiting Finance input regarding feasibility of recommended action.

With the conclusion of exercise Moonlight, Cadre 59-5-03 has completed scheduled syllabus content. ROM has also finalised security checks on cadre. WAM reports operational compromise due to loss of records, 49 cadets demob to general duty(Ref Annex A).
Request permission to finalise Blade commission. Awaiting your input regarding command structure, junior leaders has been selected, selective training to be conducted at selected sites.(Annex B)
Request fast-track promotion authority, pending ROM clearance.
Refer Annex C to E regarding scheduled exercises and training programme. Request access to specificed WAM+ROM records, site Tukayid. (Annex F)
Awaiting OpSec clearance to file request with Precentor Martial and acting Precentor Hettig as stated in alert Orange.
Precentor Celest.

New Earth, February 20
Primus Mori face flickered onto the holoprojector. Specks of static littered the image as the security decryption kicked in.
"Good day people. Your project has been shifted up to the highest level of security, so, we're ignoring the normal chain of command on this. Blake penetration of communications has rendered all Chaos march communications suspect, so, your project is moving off-site right now. Your WAM personnel is moving into Focht Academy and TDF/Sandhurst will be relocated Tukayid.
As of this moment, you're no longer part of training command.
Precentor Celest? You been promoted to Precentor II, and you're now in command of the project. Boris, Comstar thank you for your long service and we know you will continue to serve for the greater good.
According to your data,you're short of one combat command leader and two support leader, you find authorisation to promote and train personnel from your available pool. Cadre 59-01 would be unable to link up with Blake Wrath ,their command pool has been added to your own if you wish.

Precentors........ This project is extremely risky. Security is of the utmost concern, that's why Blake Blade has now been black-celled. Our concerns with the Clan threat has distracted us from the Word of Blake. You were right,with Wrath and Valkyrie tied up, we badly need you to be ready to protect Comstar interests. However, your operational scope has been expanded to include Jade Falcon and Wolf occupation zones, report to respective station commanders when in theatre.
Set up your operational base, get your unit operationally ready, then report to Epilison Rho.
May the peace of Blake be with you. "

Boris growled," Well, there's that I suppose."
Guardedly, Celest nodded." Yes."
"Before we begin, we need to settle some formalities." He stood up, his frame towering over Celest tall build.
Snapping his hands in the ancient old Comstar, once Star League salute, he said, " Handing over command of Project Blade. Madam, request permission to issue an final Order of the Day to the troops."
Snapping to attention, Celest replied,"Granted. You will expedite detachment of training elements and return them to their parent units. Yi? Intergrate Rho elements with our Epilison and other units, then set up a movement order. We're redeploying to another site.
And Boris..... you get the chance to tell them what they're really in for once we reach our destination." Celest grinned. Jiangyi moved her hands in to soothe Celest long flowing tresses and joined her in open laughter.
