*Walking around the training room, the team had been working for several hours solid, and there leader didn't look like he was about to let them have a break anytime soon. As the team came near to finishing the assault course they had been told to run, it started to become clear to the commander that one of the members was slow and behind the others. Mehrunes was trying to keep up with the team but was struggling to do so. Finding his motivation slipping only meant that he was slowing down his pace. And letting the team go further ahead without him. *

_**As the team finished they all started to file around the Obelisk, looking warn out the prelate sighed and shook his head at the group. Knowing that he would have to make them do it again, he started to talk to the group as they waited for the Acolyte to arrive, though it wasn't long before he did, the Zabrak still managed to start to talk to some of the members in his team, and find out how they were doing outside of the training. He liked to keep a track on most of his team. Finally the newest member gathered round.

**_

I would like to first say hello to the newest member of the team, who has recently joined. So I would like you to give a warm welcome to Mehrunes, and I wish him the best in the team, And would like to see each of you support him in the team as you have with other members. Be there for each other and help each other out.

In this time, I would like to say a good bye to a great member and a friend. Well where do I start with Godo, honestly I would start with his willingness to help anyone, his friendship he offers others as well as the kindness that a lot of people saw in him. I would like to say a thank you on behalf of the house, clan and team, you did a great job and I hope to see from in the near future. I raise a glass to salute you Mister Godo.

I would also like to say a good bye to another member of the team, in respect I would like to say a thank you to Starrett for his work in the team, and I wish him the very best. I respect the help he has given and hope him the best. Again I raise a glass to you Starrett.

I would also like to take the time to remind everyone of the Chain-of-Command system that is up and running. I would like to see everyone use it at some point, and I want to make sure you all keep to it, it was made to help you as members. So please remember to use it.

I would like to congratulate everyone on getting medals, it is good to see the team working hard and achieving rewards. I hope to see more medals next week, I know we can do well as a team. Each of you has a lot of potential and now is the time to really push forward and go for it.

So without further a due I give you the following medal winners:

Although there hasn't been any wins or loses, I know that a few of you have got your selves involved in the Antei Combat Center. I would like to say that keep up the work, as long as you are enjoying yourselves. It is a way to see what your character would be like in a fight, describe the combat and improve your writing skills. I should know because if I am honest I wasn't that good at the ACC. I had a hard time to start and now I enjoy it. So just have fun and go for it.

I would like to say that this is a promotion well done. Congratulations Cern Unnos.

Many know that Holocrons have a near sentient gate-keeper imbued with the Force to safeguard and guide the user to the knowledge within. Also known is the fact that it is not just the Jedi that have made Holocrons, but also ancient Sith. The treachery, hatred and mind-twisting deception of such a gatekeeper has led many aspirants to the Dark Side to madness and death.

    Explore the madness that such a gatekeeper would try to subject you to in order to test your mettle...or hide it's secrets.

The comings and goings of Dark Jedi, especially those hailing from the seat of power on Antei, are rarely, if ever, catalogued. Yet, there are adventures and opportunities in their every day lives; be it ceremonial or exploratory.

    Write a story that involves your character and an event that either occurred (a discovery, a revelation, joining the Clan, a new Master/Apprentice pairing) or something that could feasibly happen to a Dark Jedi. Utilize your writing skills to write a fascinating tale that involves your character. If you need suggestions, please contact Consul Braecen (BMCoffey13@aol.com) and Proconsul Yzarc (yzarcrellik@gmail.com) for ideas
