It had been several months since Andrelious J. Inahj had set foot on Port Ol'Val. On arriving he had wasted no time in heading to the wrecked 'Upsilon 3', a former Imperial transport.

He had barely settled into one of the chairs in the ship's passenger area when the members of Shadow Gate began to arrive. First was Inahj's apprentice, Incendus, followed a few minutes later by Andraste. One by one, the group arrived, each waiting in silence for their comrades.

"Greetings, Gatekeepers." Inahj began as Strategos, who appeared to be the last, took his seat. "As you are aware..we have had some changes to the command structure," the Sith continued.

At that moment, the ship's entry hatch opened again. Zakath entered, and stalked angrily over onto a seat.

The new Gatewarden frowned. "Oh. I forgot that YOU were a member.." he started, his tone one of disgust. The human did not have a pleasant history with Zakath, a fact that was known by most in Arconan circles.

Zakath stared back angrily, but offered no response.

Taking a minute to drink from a flask that he was carrying, Inahj appeared to enjoy the liquid he had imbibed, before continuing.

"The files I have inherited from Scelestus indicate you are all performing well. Keep it up! You all know where to find me." the Sith barked, enjoying his new authority.

Incendus raised his hand. "Master, what has happened to Gatewarden Scelestus?" he queried.

Inahj had been dreading this. He was wanting to stamp his authority on the unit right away. He didn't need questions about Qel-Droma's new Aedile "He was..needed elsewhere. Now, Gatekeepers, you are dismissed! I will be posting an encrypted holomail with some new orders soon."

Right, that's the fiction-y bit done with.

Now, an introduction. :)

I am your new Battleteam leader, Andrelious J. Inahj. Most of you know me from IRC, where I am known as Mark or Lenzar.

I have been a member of the Brotherhood for many years, and have been a member of different clans over those years. Eventually, I drifted back to the only Clan I've ever really felt at home in - Arcona.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Scelestus for the work he has done as Gatewarden, and thank the summit for giving me a chance to work with you guys.

I will be releasing a competition or two in the next couple of weeks, in conjunction with the 'Dozen of Games' competition I have been running since March.

As I will be tracking your activity, I would like to remind you to CC me, along with the rest of the summit on all competition entries and other activities.

Contacting me will also be easy. I am on IRC most days under `M or Lenzar (though I might be AFK), as well as available via email at andrelinahj(at)googlemail.com. I'm also on Facebook, at http://tinyurl.com/79fxmav

I look forward to working with you guys. :)
