It took a great deal of time in deciding to post this but I suppose I should not delay any longer.

The moment my enemies have prayed for and my friends lamented has finally come: I will be leaving TRF.




*awaits end of thunderous applause*



It has taken a great deal of wheeling and dealing as the phrase goes but I have been able to find a way to become a soldier again. My employer would not be the most reputable of sorts, but it is the only way I have been able to return to the profession of arms.

Yes, you are all wondering in just whose army I have found a home. It is the last one you would have guessed. The American Army. For all my revulsion at this way of life I am now about to take up arms to defend it. The irony is stinging. But you know the saying those who beg cannot chose. My experience in law enforcement as well as military service to another allied nation has granted me admittance and I have had to swear fealty to the American government.

I assure you my pride was a massive pill to swallow.

I do not depart as yet, but it is scheduled for mid November in a state called Missouri.

I will continue to be active until that time.

I can say, despite the arguments over ideaologies of every kind, I will miss TRF fondly. And if time permits, I will return when I have acquired a duty station with internet access.

Gloria Imperium, my friends.

Good luck with what the future brings.

I need time to process this.

I hope you have fun/don't got injured during your time with the army. I, for one, will be sad to see you go, as I was hoping for a chance to face you in a fleet battle (or at least one where the sides were roughly equal, unlike the TNO attacks on the Iron Fist Empire from oh so long ago (I think you were involved in that campaign).

Blast. Well, try not to be a stranger. Though you leave the RP front, you are always weclomed here to browse the OOC and join in with that crap. Going to miss a great RPer lik you and a cunning military mind.

maybe you'll run into Xilen.

I hope we never considered each other real enemies, Telan, for an interesting person you have always been. Best of luck with your military career, I can think of no man better qualified for such a purpose, and don't be a stranger should you be able to drop us a line!

Don't forget to duck. :P Stay safe in the army Telan!

Good luck, Telan. Stay safe.

Thank you all - I am touched at the show of the support. I truly am. Believe me - despite rigorous training you can all be assured that my mind will always return to TRF and wonder just what thew Empire is doing in my absance.

IFE - yes, I remember the Battle of Teth well.

I am open to some well-fought fleet actions now, before I leave. I still have approximately a month.
