[Archive-Post-date 2.27.3307] Operation Rising Sun—Defeat Address.
18 Apr 2022Raumfahrer Spiff
In this hour of defeat, I find myself recalling the words of my mentor, the late Jahena Yar Savor; “There are no failures, only opportunities to learn.” These words don’t magically erase my failures in strategy or our failure in engagement. Still, I take comfort in those words now. While our invasion of Inti did fail, over the course of Operation: Rising Sun we have grown in our political abilities and learned much about our enemies, our allies, and our vulnerabilities. I have also learned how fiercely you will fight when called upon. It is my honor, as promised, to bestow on you these well-earned rewards: Please congratulate CMDRs Raumfahrer Spiff, Dark Flemish, Zersty von Stahlhamm, Swift Arrow, Sylar8376, Apis_Levitans, Mindleseyes, Roberto Gallardo, Arthas Mckillian, and Loneduck for their outstanding performance and exceptional wartime contributions, earning them all the title “Hero of Inti.” I personally salute the top 3 Commanders—Sylar8376, Mindlesseyes, and Arthas McKillian —who will be contacted by Fleet Commander Swift Arrow, to arrange receipt of their prize. I’ll leave you with these parting thoughts—Inti is a gleaming gem among the riches of the Milky Way but far from the only prize of such luster in the Inner Orion Spur and also not lost to us forever. Our ambition exceeded our reach on this occasion but I promise we will always dream big. We march forward, with our costly knowledge in hand, determined to reach for even greater glories in the future. As part of that vision, I am announcing that we will soon be advancing a recruitment campaign to give each of you the further support you deserve as you forge our path through the galaxy.
Many thanks,
George Watts CEO,
