"Damnit Strask! If you keep taking forever to train our new recruits, the teams we have in the field will be overrun!" The Will of Nekros shouted at the man across the table.

"And if we send the recruits out too early they'll only be blaster fodder! You should know this Frosty!" The Wrath of Nekros snapped back. The two of them had been going at it for nearly an hour. Both of them had returned to the Syndicate's base several days ahead of their leader, and unfortunately the pair had made no headway. They continued to bicker for another half hour before a new voice split the air.

"Enough! Both of you!" The pair spun on their heels to find the final member of the Inner Circle standing in the doorway. The two quickly snapped to attention.

"Sir!"

"Sit down you two." The Soul of Nekros, and newly minted Sith Knight, Solas Night-Thorn strode into the room and tossed two files on the table. "Frosty withdraw any non-essential teams from the field. This is a priority nexus directive."

"Sir!" Strask smirked at the order, but his thoughts were cut short by his leader.

"Strask, you have a week to complete the training of your top class. We're going to need all hands on deck."

"Sir!" The three sat in their chairs after a moment Frosty spoke up.

"Sir, what exactly is going on?"

"Frosty as you remember, several months ago the Dark Council began an initiative to cleanse the Brotherhood of those deemed undesirable. Since that time many high ranking and/or powerful members of those factions have gone into hiding and the Grand Master is tired of leaving them to their own devices."

"I can understand that, but where do we fit in?"

"As we speak the best analysts in the Brotherhood are compiling dossiers on these individuals. In phase zero of what we're calling Operation: Cleaning House. Once these dossiers have been completed we are to be deployed alongside our brethren in the Order of the Trident to eliminate the undesirables. In those files you'll find our timetable for Cleaning House."

"Sir!" Both responded.

"Alright gentlemen, this is day one of our biggest undertaking. This is going to be hard and the fallout may shake the Brotherhood to its core."

Dark greetings, happy holidays, and a happy new year to you all! Welcome to my second report for the Nekros Syndicate. We've been in a rather understandable lull due to the holiday season, but that time has passed and now it's going to be balls-to-the-wall from here on out. The next three months will play host to a collection of competitions all relating to Operation: Cleaning House. And then we have a big event in the works for the months following that. So hold onto your butts, this is going to be one hell of a ride.

And now onto the news.

Tarentum News

• Sadly there hasn't been a whole lot of news at the clan level, but that's to be expected with the holiday season. But either way it's still a great time to be a Tarenti.
• If you haven't read the Consul's recent report, you can do so here.

Mortis News

• The biggest news from our house is that we've unfortunately lost contact with the leader of our sister team the OoT and he was removed from office. In his place stands my master Hades.

Syndicate News

• Our biggest news is the beginning of Operation: Cleaning House. This will be a huge task with some pretty intense fallout. But I know we can do it!

• Since my last report we saw the completion of our three initial competitions and I am incredibly pleased with the results. As you've seen already we have a new emblem design, courtesy of our BTS Strask. We also gained our official motto, a product of one of our younger members.
