General Jansen picked through the shuttle carefully. This had been GA Daemon's. And now it was a twisted wreck.
Army officers had already carried away most every object in the shuttle, but there was one the General was looking at personally. Major Mitchell had brought it to him, not knowing what it was. But Jansen recognized it right away: It was a holocron.
Jansen had seen one, and only one, in his youth. But it had made a lasting impression, and now he had one in his hands again. Well - a part of one. It was obvious what would need to happen: They'd have to get the rest of the pieces.
A slicer worked on the shuttle's memory core, trying to find the travel logs and decrypt them. Perhaps Daemon's flight path would prove helpful in finding where he was headed. And where the rest of it might be.
What the General couldn't tell was whether or not it had been intentionally split up or shattered... Time would certainly tell.
In order to handle the holocron, they'd need someone special. Jansen knew of someone locked up by the Empire... someone who had received some training as one of the Emperor's Hands... but he was notoriously... unstable.
This did not sit well with the General. This man would be difficult to handle, even under the best of circumstances. And if he was to escape, who knew where he might end up.
Still... there was nobody else in the Empire who would be able to handle the holocron. Jansen hoped that this wouldn't turn out as badly as he thought it would.
From behind two forcefields, Jansen faced down the caged dark figure. "Who are you?" He asked, knowing full well what the answer would be.
The dark figure wasted no time in replying. His voice seemed somehow as dark as the rest of him. The voice was deep, resonant, and very bitter. "I am the sole descendent of the fire and the rage."
"I've got a task for you."
The figure spat. "Why should I help you?"
"Because I know what you want. Because I can take you to a place where you can hunt. Away from all of the rest of us."
"On a barren world? I'd rather not."
"On a world full of life." Jansen was firm. "Away from humans and like species. An untouched forest world."
"How do I know this isn't a trick?"
"The alternative is to rot here forever."
The figure stood up. He towered over even Jansen, who was no small figure himself. "Let's get this over with."

-Army assignment: Fiction Assignment! You can choose to write about the Grand Admiral's shuttle, and what you found there OR about how you feel about having to work with the dark figure... even though you've only heard about him and never actually met him
More details (and Navy assignments) can be found at http://www.empirereborn.net/holonet/viewtopic.php?t=991
-Keep up recruitment, keep those cadets coming!
-You should know this part by heart now...
-Saturdays 1600-2300 EST (GMT-5) in #outerrim on IRC - InterClub Training Event, come and play against other clubs like Rebel Squadrons, Emperor's Hammer, StarVipers, etc. They host many games, including XWA, XvT, the JK series, GB, FC, and Battlefront. Stop in and have a good time!
-*Ladders have started up again, so join a Ladders and play against other officers for some shinies, and if you play against myself or General Jansen, you can get into the Royal Guard as well!
-If you have GB, or any of the X-wing series, start flying Combat Chamber missions. Besides the fact that you can get medals for the amount you complete, right now you'll also be getting OS points as well. Go for high scores and try to top the Elite Pilots roster (but you have to beat me ;-).
Reports:
========================
Spearhead: Yes
-Great example as always :-)
Dragon: No
-Worried about some possible AWOLs in there
Hornet: No
-Now that you have an XO, hopefully I'll start seeing reports/activity from you guys...
Raider: Yes
-Still the smallest Company we have, and I fear it may get smaller...
Final Thoughts:
========================
Okay, Second Brigade is now seperate, one less thing I need to monitor constantly ;-)
Still working on various projects; mapping out file formats, wondering how I'm going to start a TIE file reader I want to make for myself, and of course flying like crazy for OS. I'd like to see more activity for OS still, I know we've been without a GB mission for a couple chapters, but remember that fiction and graphics are always welcomed.
Two new officers have joined since the last report, and the only departures were to 2nd Brigade. Get out and recruit your friends, find people online, do whatever you can think of to increase our ranks!
