With a huff the Miraluka sighed at finally reconnecting to the local server, "What good is it for them to send down an advanced team if we don't have a solid base of operations?" Speaking into his throat mic the Aedile opened a secure channel with the local base, "Are the communication servers done experiencing their rebirth? Some of us need to be able to talk to you in the field here."

Apparently it's an early report last week for a late report this week, guess it's a weighted system. Regardless, things have been really damn slow this week with our site being down. Slight communication error with our server provider it seems but regardless steps have been taken to make sure that such a thing doesn't happen again. Regardless of which, our Kresshan brothers and sisters still require aid on Aeotheran and we've been drafted by the Consul to help them. As I said last week, if you need help at all ask your battleteam leader, myself or Fremoc if you need any help with it. Can't help people out without joining in, so get in there! Click Me!

Competitions are our favourite thing, they keep getting us awards that make our Consul and Proconsul notice us, which is always good. Regardless these things are a great way to help you get promoted regardless of your rank. Enjoy!
