Echelon WOULD probably be mentioned, further into the chapter.

Damage Control Officer Echelon foolishly allowed the Atrus to be destroyed, effectively killing the Vast Empire.

Well, here are the statistics for our story. I wanted to calculate my statistics, so I calculated everyone's as well. I might be wrong on some of these, so don't be surprised if you see a mistake, but I tried my best. Also, I made the nicknames for fun, and not for offense. Not sure about some of them, but others worked well.

Also, how about this. As people post, I can update the statistics so Drac or Trykon or whoever doesn't have to redo them.

Sound okay?

Much appreciated, at least on my part.  I'm sure Drac wouldn't mind you handling stats, either, Ech.    If you're volunteering, do try to make them as accurate as possible... we'll likely use them when shiny-time comes around.

I just joined the squadron but I'm going to try to jump in on this. I'll read through the thread... er, novel... after work and hop on IRC to maybe coordinate with some characters. Can't wait to get going!

Caldaris: It may make it easier on you to read the After Action Reports (AAR) in the most recent fifteen or twenty posts rather than try to read through everything at once. They give summaries of what happened and are mandatory, along with word counts, in big stories like this one. Pay special attention to mine. Since I'm the mission commander, my AARs and the other information at the end of my pots contain orders and other important information. DeepSix, our Wing Commander, is another one to pay attention to.

Remember that your posts don't need to be hugely complicated, especially when you're playing this much catch-up. Fight some bad guys, have some fun, etc, and get deeper with your posts when you've got a good handle on things.

Okay, after my long vacation and semi-activity over the last couple of weeks I have hereby made my return to activity with a new NPC post!

And just to catch up on things, let me say 'nice one' to Echelon for compiling the stats on the story so far.  Good going!

And also let me say 'welcome' to Caldaris!  Glad to see new faces in the Navy (and I know we have a few more folks at the Academy!  Exciting times indeed!).

Keep up the great work everyone!  At 82 posts and counting, this is just 7 away from being the biggest Navy story I have ever participated in, and I would love it to hit the big 100 before its conclusion!

Well, its been a while, but I am back with a new post!  Doesn't really move the story along, but I felt that I needed to get something up!

I have one more post to go in my little "Mistblade Trilogy", looking at three very different members of the same Imperial Dominion squadron.  Then I shall be back to the bridge of the Halcyon Warrior to write more about my actual character, Serpent, and how he is holding up.  To that end, Drac, I shall be bouncing a few ideas off you soon!

Alright, guys. This story's just about run its course. That, of course, means that we're going to be pushing to a big finale. There will be plenty of combat going on inside the Loyalty as our boarders assault her auxiliary bridge- that means lots of opportunities for NPC posts there. Anyone is free to do those, so long as you keep it reasonable. I'll have a new post up soon moving things along into the final stage of the battle.

I'm sure that some of you guys have thought of a storyline or two that you'd like to explore. If so, put up a post in the 1st Fleet discussion topic describing it and we might just pursue it in the next round of missions.

My 9th post is now up (I am going to hit double figures with this one, I swear it!).  Just some bridge tension on the Halcyon Warrior, but it worked out well.

Now the final struggle!  Let's all push to a great ending folks!

Congratulations everyone!

Just wanted to draw attention to the fact that, if one clicks on the Statistics for the Naval Story Board, it will show that we now have a big 100 Posts for VEN: Out of the Invisible!

It also shows that fully 10 of us have posted in the last 7 days!  Great going!

Just another couple of posts, and we will have this one in the Top 10 most posted stories in Naval history!

(we'd already be in the top 10 were it not for some discussion threads that are in the Story Board.  Like 'Smoke and Mirrors Discussion'.  And 'Kaph Story Notes'.  And 'Shatting Fate: General Wing Discussion'.  And 'Nazgul Vacation Story Notes'.  In fact, fully half the top 10 aren't even stories!  Its a fix I tell you!)

Hey, considering that I had a half-assed story arc that could never become a fully fledged because I dropped in near the end, I'm proud of those statistics for Eli. The quality of my posts... well, that's a whole 'nother story entirely.

When you strike your opponent do not bruise or even bloody them. Hit them so hard you take away their capacity to fight back.

Gentlebeings, with Drac out on Leave, it is my privilege, honor and pleasure to announce the following promotions and awards for Out of the Invisible.  This was one of the largest, longest-running stories in the history of the VEN, and you should all feel very proud for having contributed to its success!  Well done, everyone!

As you all know, the NHC began this one with a bit of good-natured competition in mind, and so I'll start by announcing the special awards, before listing all the contributing members and their shinies at the end.

But first, a special word of commendation.  One member of the Navy went above and beyond the call of duty over the course of this story, and I want to take a moment up front to thank him, on behalf of the entire Naval High Command: Echelon, your work has not gone unnoticed.  With 37,000+ words, you wrote what amounts to a novella, and with 29 out of 101 posts, you contributed almost a third of this epic story, all by yourself.  More impressive even than these mammoth statistics, though, is the content of those posts: you used this story as an opportunity to experiment with various genres and narrative tools, and your prose improved in quality even more quickly than your word count increased.  Well done indeed.  Your shinies are listed below, along with everyone else's, but you earned a special mention, too. 

Without further ado, the NHC's choices for the Special Awards are:

MVP, command officers - honoring outstanding performance overall by the command-level officer deemed "most valuable player" over the course of the story -
is awarded to Drac, in recognition of his leadership, IC and OOC.

MVP, enlisted personnel & noncommissioned officers - honoring outstanding performance overall by the non-command-level VEN member deemed "most valuable player" over the course of the story -
is awarded to Echelon, in recognition of his superlative efforts over the course of the story.

Best Rookie - honoring the most promising new member to join the VEN during the story's run -
is awarded to Eli13778.

Best Post, dramatic - honoring outstanding performance in character development -
is awarded to Serpent, for his post on March 28, 2012 8:16:55 PM, on page 2 of the story (a well-written description of capital ship tactical maneuvering, with plenty of CD included).

Best Post, comedic - honoring outstanding comedic writing -
is awarded to Echelon, for his post on March 7, 2012 7:09:36 PM, on page 1 of the story (Stanley the curious Mouse Droid).

Best Post, action - honoring outstanding combat writing -
is awarded to Ryn, for her post on April 21, 2012 4:03:06 PM, on page 3 of the story (great post about leadership of a squadron in combat, with clear characterization of her character and her squadmates).

Best Post from an NPC perspective - honoring outstanding performance in developing a non-player character -
is awarded to Serpent, for his post on April 11, 2012 9:25:39 AM, on page 3 of the story (Imperial Dominion droid R3-G3, an NPC that belongs to Captain Alexander Rauthrin, another NPC Serpent created for this one).

Most Improved - honoring outstanding progress as a writer over the course of the story -
is awarded to Echelon, whose persistent efforts paid large dividends over the course of this story.

Congratulations to the winners!

Now, if you don't see your name above, don't fret: you haven't been forgotten!  The competition for most of these awards was incredibly close, and during our deliberations the NHC took careful note of the contributions of the runners-up - their efforts are reflected in the shinies they've been awarded.


And speaking of shinies, here's the list of medals and promotions, by person:

Drac: Awarded the Victory Cross for mission creation and leadership during the story.

Trykon: Promoted (x1) to Lieutenant, and awarded the Victory Cross for leadership during the story.

Serpent: Promoted (x1) to Warrant Officer 2nd Class, awarded the Victory Cross for outstanding contributions to a Navy plotline, and admitted into the Ship Captain Training Program to earn his own command.

Echelon: Promoted (x3) to Warrant Officer 2nd Class, awarded the Legion of Merit in recognition of his unrivaled activity and laudable drive to improve, awarded the Victory Cross as well, to honor his contributions to the story's arc, and admitted into the Ship Captain Training Program to earn his own command.

DeepSix:  Promoted (x1) to Ensign, provisionally (will become permanent following completion of Fleet Officer Candidate Exam).

Scral: Promoted (x1) to Petty Officer 1st Class.

Ryuno: Promoted (x1) to Senior Crewman, and awarded the Merit Cross 2nd Class.

Ellesmere: Promoted (x1) to Petty Officer 1st Class.

Hades: Promoted (x2) to Chief Petty Officer.

Ryn: Promoted (x2) to Chief Petty Officer, awarded the Combat Achievement Ribbon, and Mentioned in Dispatches.

Maroy: Awarded the Merit Cross 1st Class.

Slasher: No awards at this time.

DarianRogue: Promoted (x1) to Petty Officer 2nd Class.

Eli13778: Promoted (x1) to Senior Crewman, awarded the Merit Cross 2nd Class, and Mentioned in Dispatches.


One last time: Well done, everyone.  This story was ambitious, and despite its size and longevity, I have no reservations in calling it a huge success.  Drinks are on me in the cantina!

And, finally, a word to the starfighter corps folks: the NHC will have your new roster positions sorted out momentarily.  Expect an announcement soon.

Shinies and free booze courtesy of Trykon? This right here gentlebeings is what most cultures and races across the galaxy commonly refer to as heaven. We'll just need to add in some friendly gambling as well as manage to smuggle in some civilian wenches - and I am confident in our skills to pull those off

Anyways, before I take advantage of Tryk's offer regarding those free drinks - a round of applause to all the participants as well as sincere congratulations to all who were awarded ranks and shinies with this occasion.



And now... cheers!
