Last Night with the Ravens (Part 1)

Read on and see what happens when a Flock of Ravens get together. The questions fly about anything and everything. Then just when you think it’s coming to an end, The Cylons decide to spring a sneak attack to neutralize the Ravens.

Don’t skip a word of this very interesting chat session and make sure you follow it to the very end to see how it all works out with, “Last Night with the Ravens.”

• DragonLady4732

I don't believe my eyes and ears! Everybody is being a chatter box right now in the chat room :-)

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

Good Evening, Dragonlady Ma'am.

• Lt. J.G. M. "Mik Mo" Morelock

Good evening, Admiral!

• DragonLady4732

Hello Wedge! How are you this evening?

• Good Evening Mik Mo! How are you this evening as well?
• Paul "Iceworm" Oakley

The Seekers are eating chatroom bandwidth. MIK MO is creating a stable full of thoroughbreds. Drive on seekers!

• Lt. J.G. M. "Mik Mo" Morelock

My boots are shined, bird is at the ready!

• Thank you, Gunny!
• DragonLady4732

OUTSTANDING MIK MO!!

• I am just making graphics for the Raven that I will soon reveal.
• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

New Graphics? how exciting!

• Paul "Iceworm" Oakley

Actual is the Queen of BFC and world class graphics. Check out our banners.

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

I've seen them, they are Really cool!

• Paul "Iceworm" Oakley

Also designed our patches.

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

That I didn't know, that's cool!

• Paul "Iceworm" Oakley

And challenge coins, they make good incentives.

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

so... Like anything raven affiliated, it's actual?

• Paul "Iceworm" Oakley

Roger.

• DragonLady4732

I do my own graphics for the Raven so it is our own property. Other groups have been trying to copy what we do here on the Raven which is flattering but can be annoying though.

• Paul "Iceworm" Oakley

AND most BFC items.

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

I can see how it'd be annoying. immitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but it's annoying.

• Lt. J.G. M. "Mik Mo" Morelock

Those membership and Command coins look great!

• Paul "Iceworm" Oakley

"Don't forget to visit our gift shop before you leave."

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

hahaha

• Lt. J.G. M. "Mik Mo" Morelock

is that gift shop located in the flight pod?

• DragonLady4732

The Command coin is given out to all Raven Command members. When you have put in your time Mik Mo and Wedge, I will personally give them to you.

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

Yes, the launch tubes of the starboard one.

• Rodger, Actual!
• Paul "Iceworm" Oakley

All but the Leadership coin. Including Planet Colony Patches.

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

wow... that's a lot of stuff.

• Lt. J.G. M. "Mik Mo" Morelock

(Salutes)

• DragonLady4732

I have other items I have not put at the store yet. Squadron patches are finally in the process of being submitted to be made. But I will not make them available until early next year for all.

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

Nice! Sometime my broke self will find some time and money to make a BDU set and have Raven's patch high and mighty on it.

• DragonLady4732

I have a big project I am focusing that will be revealed to the public during All Con Dallas 2016

• Paul "Iceworm" Oakley

Leslie seems to have a good uniform set, right?

• Has Leslie started working on a call sign?
• DragonLady4732

Depending on how motivated and hard working you are Wedge, I will help you out by giving you a Raven patch as my of saying Thank You!

• Lt. J.G. M. "Mik Mo" Morelock

I let her know that's the next thing she needs to do...hopefully soon!

• 10:31 PM
• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

Well then, best get cracking when opportunities arise! I'm hoping to get everything together by this time next year, provided school doesn't throw up any unexpected obsitcles

• DragonLady4732

Ahhh school comes first. That is far more important. I tell you what, what grade are you in?

• Or are you in college?
• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

Sophmore, High School (10th)

• DragonLady4732

Tell you what, show me good grades and that will earn you a Raven patch? Fair enough?

• That should make your parents happy too
• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

Fair enough here. That will make them very happy.

• Lt. J.G. M. "Mik Mo" Morelock

Wow Wedge! You"re not old enough to drive a car, but you drive a million cubit Raptor!

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

Well, I've got my temps...

• Me

That's what the BFC is all about!!!!!

• Paul "Iceworm" Oakley

As the lead Assault Raptor driver having to put up with a load of socially unacceptable Devil Dogs, Leslie's call-sign should reflect the positive attitude, strong will and sense of adventure.

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

close enough right?

• DragonLady4732

Alright, then it is a deal! Wedge! Keep up the great work so far I have you seen you do here with Mik Mo!

• Lt. J.G. M. "Mik Mo" Morelock

As long as you don't ding up the flight deck, youre OK!

• Me

I haven't seen this many members signed in since our last mission here.

• OH yeah, watch out for the Chief's decks!!!
• Paul "Iceworm" Oakley

You're doing a great job CAG AND MIK MO, this is the proof.

• Me

He will have you fix them to his perfection.

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

Copy that, Actual. Mik Mo, Don't you worry, the precious flighe deck isn't gonna be getting any dings from me. I don't want to incur the wrath of the Chief

• Lt. J.G. M. "Mik Mo" Morelock

You know the knuckle draggers will have our hides!

• Me

Thanks Iceworm, You have always had the MARDET covered my friend!!!!!!!

• DragonLady4732

Chief's job is not that easy trust me! I have done his job before!

• Paul "Iceworm" Oakley

"Cueball", King of the flight deck, doesn't like pilots. He's gonna gripe no matter what.

• Me

You might not, but I have done it several times.

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

Truth there, MARDET's gotten some people reciently too, that shows that you're doing your job well too.

• And as long as chief's happy, our planes are happy, our pilots are happy, and our boss is happy.
• Lt. J.G. M. "Mik Mo" Morelock

And happy birds make for unhappy toasters!

• Me

Cueball's a great guy and I've always loved his personality when it comes to his job aboard the Raven.

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

Exactly

• Me

He's the perfect Chief in my book.

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

Don't think I've seen cueball on. He's the chief?

• Colonel. Eduardo "Enforcer"

Good Evening! I was wondering what was going on in here.

• Me

Yeah, he's from the UK. The time difference is a killer for him.

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

Good Evening, Colonel. That would explain why I havn't seen him.

• Paul "Iceworm" Oakley

Let's see......I'm new and motivated......do I want to be a Mud Marine standing guard and saluting youngsters, or do I want to fly a shiny Viperor Raptor, be on my own away from the ship, and draw an Officer's pay and berth?.....let me think......

• Lt. J.G. M. "Mik Mo" Morelock

Good evening, Colonel!

• Me

This is the busiest time in recent memory since some of our top missions here.

• Paul "Iceworm" Oakley

• Colonel. Eduardo "Enforcer"
