First off, let me begin this report by thanking everyone who took part in the competitions hosted by Task Force 72 this past week. The general consensus seemed to be that everyone liked the puzzles and games that we put forth. There were even a few that thought puzzles couldn’t get any more difficult until Lieutenant Evelyn Sommers one-upped TF93’s CO Captain Henry Maxwell by adding rotating puzzle pieces to the mix. All-in-all, I think it was a great week and I would like to congratulate all of the winners.
I would also like to take a moment to welcome two new Raven-class ships to the 72 roster. Lieutenant Kachiko Bayushi and Ensign Ravenwolf have each selected USS Sitacus and USS Galaesus respectively as their ships of choice.
