Good morning, RSers!

As I'm sure you've noticed, this past Monday was scheduled to end the latest activity session. However, due to events that have transpired that negatively affected our planning for the next session (of which I shall touch on shortly), it has been decided to extend the current session until the end of August. So, if you were thinking that you had missed your opportunity to press the attack against Titan, think again! We've liberated Lithra, but now we need to make sure they get the message that they're not welcome here. To do that, we're going to need everyone's help. Once again, the session has now been extended through August 31st, 2017.

So, what precipitated this action? The long and short of it comes down to the resignations of the Fleet Commander and Operations Officer due to RL concerns, the timing of which has hindered the preparations of the new session. As a result, it was felt that it was better to delay the new session until September for HC to have time to see what needed to be done and act accordingly.

On the topic of selecting a new FC, HC has done its due diligence on this topic. However, due to the fact that HC picks the candidates for FC, none of those nominated elected to run for the position. As such HC is looking into a more committee-like approach that does not require an FC to function. Until such a plan is implemented or an FC is eventually decided upon, I, as the Executive Officer, shall serve as Acting FC in accordance with the RS Bylaws.

Until next time, fly fast, shoot straight, and watch your six.
