Edict #31
“I swear if one more of you monkeys submits “blood and ashes” as a quote…”
I hadn’t really thought about writing an edict like this until at least the end of my term, but sadly I have no choice. There is a serious matter which must be addressed early.
In 2000, John Robert Lucas joined STF. Three years later Emma Rouse-Deane promoted him to Captain and he commanded the Lexington until, in a peculiar twist, one of the most unusual circumstances in STF history arose and we all thought he’d been killed whilst serving in Iraq with the United States Army. When he reappeared in 2005 it was unusual to say the least and we were very happy to have him back.
Since then however, I have to report that he has unfortunately performed extraordinarily well. He’s dedicated time, effort and energy to every character he’s had and brought the Trinitron (now the Samurai) a complete 180 as its CO, with a full complement and consistent activity.
Further to this, during his tenure as Fleet Commander for Fleet 2 this term, John has not only brought the fleet pages back in line, but has also revived every struggling ship in the fleet. Every component of Fleet 2 is currently healthy and active, with Outpost 45 and the Constellation well on the road to full recovery. It is an absolutely disgusting display of quite how good he is at what he does, as well as his appalling commitment to both the fleet and the club.
It is therefore clear that based upon these devilish and villainous acts, I have no choice but to promote the man.
John Robert Lucas is hereby promoted to the rank of Fleet Captain, with all the rights and priveleges therein.
In all seriousness, congratulations John, this has been a long time in coming and it is more than well earned.
