As the last remaining members of House Ektrosis filed into the briefing room, along with officers and enlisted personnel of the Taldryan Military that came to see the announcement of the new Quaestor, the room began to liven up with chatter amongst the people present.

Some of them mentioned that they were getting an old, gruff former New Republic officer for their Quaestor. Others, that it was a female Twi’lek that slaughtered a group of Hutts and their families. One even mentioned that they overheard other officers talking and that it was a Hutt. A few people were simply talking about recent events, and how the quality of the mess hall had really been slipping since Appius left to assume the post of Proconsul.

Suddenly the room fell silent as on doors on the balcony above whooshed open, two black-armor clad Death Troopers filed into the room followed by Major Crysenia who they already knew had been promoted to the position of Ektrosis Aedile, several grey imperial uniformed officers. The troopers took positions directly to the right and left of the podium, Crysenia to the immediate right of the podium, the officers following suit standing to the right and left sides of the troopers alternatingly. The doors closed, all was silent, but no one stood directly at the podium above.

An awkward silence for what felt like forever filled the room as confusion grew. The Death Trooper on the left side looked at the podium and slightly leaned in for a moment before standing back up and turning to the officer beside him. A small exchange of words that they could not hear took place, with the officer leaning back and looking at the podium with a sudden expression of embarrassment.

The officer very quickly walked out of the briefing room, and back in a minute later with a janitor who still held his mop firmly in his hand. He pointed at the podium and said something to the janitor, who shook his head begrudgingly. The Death Trooper saw this, and as the janitor approached the podium promptly smacked the janitor upside his head with his hand. Several laughs broke out from the floor below, but fell back to silence as the trooper looked down at them.

The janitor leaned down to the ground behind the podium, as if he was cleaning something. Everyone was confused even more. Then suddenly, a furry head poked it’s way up above the top of the podium. It was an Ewok, standing on the janitor’s back. And it was dressed in a - Grand Admiral’s uniform?

“Good morning, everyone.” the Ewok said as he placed his hands behind his back, his body taking an assertive stance. “Apologies for the delayed start. It seems that someone missed a memo, but that has now been corrected.”

Several of the officers on the balcony smiled at this, though they were trying hard to hide this fact. As the Ewok began to continue, some people began to come to a sudden realization of what was going on.

“Now then. My name is Teebu Nyrrire, and I have been assigned as your new Quaestor. It is a pleasure.”

An Ewok. Of all things. An Ewok was their Quaestor.

Introduction

Greetings everyone! As the little bit of fun above says, my name is Teebu Nyrrire, new resident Ewok of Clan Taldryan, and your new Quaestor as well!

I am absolutely honored to be given this duty, especially so with House Ektrosis being my original home when I first joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood almost 16 years ago. My previous lives here were under the characters Aidyn Wolfwood (who was part of Ektrosis and Tarentum) and Arturis Schulen (who was also part of Tarentum, and then Plagueis.)

The first thing I want to convey is that anytime anyone wants to talk, be it about life, gaming, roleplay, things you can do to benefit the House, Clan, or the Brotherhood at large, promotion guidelines and where you stand, or even about your cat, our doors are always open.

With the RoS out of the way and things having been quiet for a short time following it, I am wanting to get the ball rolling on our first major project; defining our home within the Caelus System! This is something I want to work on with as many people as I can from Ektrosis, and get your ideas on what you feel our home should be. Should we be in the Ostara Citadel Complex with the remainder of the Clan? Make our own footprint in the wilds of Ostara? Or the megacontinent or coast of the planet Kasiya?

As we get a first idea on how we wish to define ourselves, I will expand further on it with asynchronous roleplaying in a Telegram room with just me, Crysenia, those participating and the Clan Summit present, House-level events, wiki development, and other special things that will enable everyone to be involved in various ways as they so choose based on individual interests. So if you like doing specific kinds of things, tell us!

I already have two starter runs in the works both for an Ostara campaign, and Kasiya campaign depending on where the interest falls for our development, with decisions/actions of the participants directly affecting the direction of them and outcome. Think like a “Make your own adventure” style. More on these will come in very early September.

Speaking about individual interests, I especially would love to get to know each of you as personally as you would like and what exactly interests you. Is it roleplaying? Gaming? Art? Community-style events? Fiction and Character Development? I want all of you to help me, help you. Because unless I know of things that interest you specifically, I can’t utilize that to work on things for you to do that help you engage more with the House and Clan and make this your own home as well as everyone else's. I would love for each of you to have fun here, and look forward to things to come and be excited for each day. Nothing would make me happier.

In this way, I will be reaching out to each of you individually over the next few days on Telegram, or through email if I do not find you on telegram for some reason, to have a nice general chat so I can learn about you and your character, what it is you wish to accomplish within the House and Clan, and how myself and Crysenia can help you accomplish that.

Aedile's Piggyback - Oink!

Hi ya’ll! I’m just going to piggyback off Teebu’s report real quick! For those who don’t know me, I’m Crysenia Orainn, and House Ektrosis’ new Aedile under Teebu. I joined the DJB last year and this is my first real leadership role. I’m excited and thankful for the opportunity, I couldn’t think of a better house to become the Aedile of! I’ll be putting my own report out soon™ so I won’t write too many words, but I will say I’m excited to see what we’re going to accomplish together!
