Welcome to my third report as Voidbreaker Battle Team Leader. As a reminder to those just joining us, my name is Wally, and I play the characters: Marick, Wyn, and Zig. On paper/for the purpose of reporting/administration, Marick is the Battleteam Leader of Voidbreaker. For the more fun/narrative side of things, however, Zig serves as the Captain of the ship. Wyn, my third character, just kind of jumps around wherever needed, so don’t take him too seriously or worry too much about him.

My reports will be written in my voice, with a section set aside in-character for Zig. If you have any thoughts on how the report could be improved or done differently, my inbox/PMs are always available: @raindbowdirewolf on Telegram / [Log in to view e-mail addresses].

I’ve gone through and done my latest audit-pass on the Voidbreaker roster. I’ve spoken to each of you in private message, and the general consensus is that I’ll be looking to do a run of awards/merits after the upcoming RoS! If you ever are curious about what your current activity status is, what you need to do for your next award, or just general questions about progression in the Brotherhood, feel free to ping me at any time! I’m here as a resource to each Voidbreaker (and anyone in Qel-Droma, really, don’t be shy).

• We’re slowly adding in more descriptions to the Voidbreaker wiki! If you have ideas for auditions, find cool artwork, or want to contribute to writing up one of the facilities or your characters quarters/living space, just hit me up!

• The Roster Page continues to be updated. This table will try to reflect the more active participants in Voidbreaker RPs and stories!

• Our esteemed Shadowy Fire Lady has posted the latest Clan report
• Make sure to check out Tali and Aru’s House Qel-Droma Report as well!
• Also our sister house put out their report as well: House Galeres Report

A lot of exciting things going on outside of Arcona and in the wider Brotherhood. Here is an abridged version of what you need to know!

• Anubis has been appointed Regent, finalizing Grand Master Evant’s cabinet Dark Council. Regent is in charge of possessions, and I’m excited to see what he does with the position!

• Brotherhood Plot Update: Chapter 2: Shadows Coalescing! — Idris and the DB Story Group (hey Atty) have gifted us with another fictional exposition to help lead up to the upcoming RoS event! If you scroll down past the fiction itself, Idris was kind enough to provide a TL;DR summary in bullet points. These are super helpful to understand what’s going on.

The Collective have mostly been beaten back after we kicked their butts in the last war. The remaining two “rival” organizations to the Dark Brotherhood are the Tenxir Revenants, and the Severian Principate. The Tenixir Revenants are free slaves, mercenaries, and pirates that are looking to gain ground against the Severian Principate. The Principate is an Imperial Remnant group that the Brotherhood has a tentative alliance with after the events of a three way conflict with the Collective years back.

What does this mean for Arcona/Voidbreaker Battleteam? It means that one way or another, something is going to go down, and we’re going to be there to chew butts and kick names!

Wait. I always mix that one up...

• Upcoming Rite of Supremacy (RoS) — SPEAKING OF RoS!! Howie has formally announced a starting date of end of May-ish. That means we have about one month to gear up and get ready for a full scale, fun event where we get to compete with the other 6 units in the Brotherhood!

In short, a Rite of Supremacy is similar to a Great Jedi War, just with a different “focus” on doing as many competitions as you can rather than purely weighing talent/placement in an olympic fashion. This is the perfect time for the Voidbreaker team to step up and show the Brotherhood why we are the best Battleteam in the club! We’ll talk more about this as we draw closer and have more information!

Lastly, as always, if you have any questions on what’s going on in the larger DB organization, always feel free to poke me. I track on things like someone who used to be on the Dark Council, and am always happy to give my interpretation or take on things.

You guys, submitting an incident report shouldn’t be that hard. I know some people have hard times using a terminal, but even Kelviin has figured out how to send reports with his Rrrrarrg-to-Text program, so I know ya’ll can do it! So, let’s start with...

Incident Report #453: Captain, the general trend of this blog has lead me to believe that you would be pleased to know that several "ships" were observed at the festival recently. This is perhaps a forgone conclusion, as it is a festival meant to celebrate family, coupling, and general commingling, but I hope that you nonetheless find this update to be "squee worthy." As these matters may be private, I would not name individuals, but will say that I observed no less than several hand holdings, ear pettings, and "make out sessions." Is this helpful?

DAMMIT JAX ITS NOT A BLOG, IT’S A SUPER SERIOUS CAPTAINS LOG but wait, did you say ear petting!? WAIT I NEED MORE DETAILS

screeching noises, chair kicking over, a door slamming in the background

Okay. Now that that’s done...let’s see.

Incident Report #225: Sage has been spotted trying to sneak into the VB to visit someone, but he can't seem to fit in the vents.

Okay, well, that explains a few things. Don’t worry, I’ll have Nathan get right on fixing that. He has warned the crew, multiple times, that the fans do not stop.

Incident Report #1337: There is a box that seems to keep showing up in different places around the ship. This seems to be some kind of joke targeting our non-Human members, but neither myself or Jax have been able to figure out who keeps placing and moving it. Please investigate. —Marick

Huh. Sus, indeed. We will keep an eye on this, boss, don’t worry. Thank you for the intel!

Incident Report #269: Begin Audio Log: I just wanna say that one of my bottles is missing, and if i find the culprit, there will be blood! — holocam screenshot attached depicting Aedile Aru wandering around at night with a whip improvised from some sheets to mimic Alaisy.

Okay. Just going to pretend I never saw this, and try to see if I can bleach that from my brain...

Lastly, let’s answer a few feedback form questions!

Zuza asks: We are lacking pool noodles. I require these for surprise whack attacks :3

You raise an excellent point. I will make sure to sneak itemize the business case for these in the next procurement order. Leave it to me!

Anonymous asks: How are you doing now that your...fixation has left the ship? Have you shifted your crosshairs to any new targets? Also, how's Zuza getting on with the crew? Asking for a friend. Did you guys finish your...uhh..mission of vengeance, what's next?

Okay, so first off, just because Alaisy is off becoming the new Queen of the Shroud Syndicate (and doing so in a new outfit, and helmet style, and her new tail and...DAMMIT focus Zig!) doesn’t mean I’m not still seeing her. But that’s my business, not anyone else's. I don’t have “targets” as I am a responsible leader who prioritizes the needs of her crew above her own selfish desires.

(Not. A. Word. Jax.)

Also, yes. We showed the Dawn Conclave what we got. Lady Leeadra in particular was so awesome and awe-inspiring!!! I hope I can be as amazing as her, one day.

Anonymous Asks *You’d never guess it, but Doon’s paws are actually super soft! Who’d have thought!? Have you come up with a nickname yet for our newest crewmate? *

Hm. After much consideration, I have decided that from here on out, Doon Sulvir shall be known henceforth as Doon-Doon. Also, since I’m guessing this totally isn’t Zuza, I guess it’s okay to share this doodle I made while observing things at the Festival!

Anyway, that’s all for now. Hope everyone enjoyed the Festival!

My continued hope with my report is to keep these light and fun, while also sharing what information I have while highlighting and empowering our little corner of the Clan, and showcase our worldbuilding together as a team :). If you have suggestions, or advice on what you’d like to see, please reach out and let me know :).

Thanks to Techie for doing the Zig-doodle of Doon and Zuza for me. I can’t draw myself, which makes it hard for me to make my “artistic” character come to life.

Before I go, I’m going to try and feature one of these in each of my reports.

Until next time, thanks for hanging out with us on #TeamVoidbreaker.
