CHUY DAH April 2012

From the XO's chair:

It still seems weird, sitting here and someone's missing; but it's just like we said before... Doomslayer is still here. We are still flying. Yes, we have been hurt from our losses, but we are not beaten. "For just as mere life is not victory, mere death is not defeat. And in the next world i shall kill the foe a thousand times, laughing, undefeated." That is the spirit of the Doomslayer, for no matter what is thrown at us, we just keep coming back.

For the next quarter, the crew of the Doomslayer will be more active than they have been in some time. However, right now, we would have it no other way. On 12 May, 2012, we are planning an informal away mission at the New Town Mall in New Philadelphia, OH, in honor of our Chief Enginer's Birthday. The ships company will gather to attend a movie of Commander Bastian's choice and the time will be announced closer to the mission date.

On 9 June, 2012 is the annual IKV Doomslayer Picnic at Tuscora Park in New Philadelphia, Ohio. This year's picnic will be in memory of our departed ship mates, Chancellor Klaad and Admiral Konnor. All who can attend are invited to join us. Festivities will begin at 11:am. The crew of the Doomslayer will supply a main course (fried chicken) and we ask everyone else to bring a side item or two, whatever you wish, to share. Please bring your own beverages, or they may be purchased at the park concession stand. If you plan on attending, just let us know in advance so we have an idea of how many will be coming.

On 14 July, 2012, the IKV Doomslayer returns to the Bread Head Bakery in Dover, OH for a general meeting. As always, we welcome anyone in Fandom or anyone interested in fandom to attend. This crew is always on the hunt for new recruits.

CHUY DAH February 2012

From The Captain's Chair

With our first meeting after the passing of Admiral Konnor under our belts, I feel confident in saying that the Doomslayer is still going strong. We had a great turn out, and I would like to thank everyone who attended for coming out despite the weather. I'd also like to thank Lt. General Vamphry zantaI-Tumid, and Colonel K'jinn sutai Tumid, the Captain and XO of the Tumid's Wrath H.A.V., for not only joining us but lending their support during this time of transition.


Speaking of transitions, we have a few people here on the IKV Doomslayer who are changing or adding positions as well as a New Recruit!

  • Commander Sebastian vestai-Makhleod will be taking on the position of Chief of Operations along with his duties as Chief Engineer.
  • Commander K'Ana vestai-K'Tarra has been reassigned as the Ship's Quartermaster. (Nice to see you out of the air ducts my dear...)
  • Master Chief K'Jor Makhleod (son of Cmdr. Sebastian & Capt. K'Dot) is now officially assigned the position of Security XO, with all of the rights, privileges & responsibilities entailed by that position.
  • I would like to welcome our newest member, recruit Hov'puq Thorson who has become a member of house Makhleod! It is also my pleasure to announce that Recruit Hov'puq Thorson Makhleod is promoted to the rank of Ensign and assigned as Engineering XO with all of the rights, privileges & responsibilities entailed by said rank and position.

Congratulations to one and all! It is an honor to have you all aboard the Doomslayer. Let us all face the battles of our future together, with courage, dignity, and honor! We shall bring glory and honor to our ship, our houses, and the IKEF!

Qapla'!

Capt. K'Dot-Ka'li

Sad News

It saddens me to have to report that we have lost another great member of the IKV Doomslayer. Admiral Konnor sutai-Makhleod, CO of the Doomslayer, passed away January 11th due to complications from existing health issues. He was laid to rest earlier today after a beautiful and touching service attended by family and many friends. He was a warrior with out equal and the halls of Sto'Vo'Kor will echo with the tales of his great deeds.

Let it be known to one and all that the fate of the Doomslayer will never be in question. As long as one of us lives, this ship will continue to fly. I must say, however, taking over command was never my goal. But the fates have other plans for Admiral Konnor, so now here I sit in the big chair. I can not replace him, nor will I try. But I will do my best to lead this ship with the courage, honor, and devotion to the crew that Admiral Konnor so exemplified.
