OK, so this thread is for catching up on our outstanding logistical issues and any OOC questions people have as we get back into the game.
First, replacements.
A replacement for SGT Franklin took some time to be assigned to you. The funeral for Xin during the trip back to the Rim Worlds was short, closed-casket and solemn. Lieutenant Hannay, who is dual-certified as a chaplain, conducts the service admirably, giving full justice to the service Xin performed and the import of the great crusade in the service of which he lay down his life. Xin's missing presence leaves a conspicuous hole during command staff meetings, and no one is particularly anxious to have that hole filled. Once filled, it seems that he'd be truly gone. Once off Wing and with time to brood, Marshall takes the loss of his joking partner hard. For nearly a solid week, he stays locked in his cabin on the Harrington, emerging only for the occasional meal and staff meeting.
It wasn't until mid-December, when the wounded member of the 189th embassy detachment finally passed away from her wounds, that Lieutenant Hannay approached Captain Freund. Being the only survivor of his entire battalion weighs heavily upon him, and he requests permission to join your unit. No one is aware of where the remainder of his unit is, or if it even still exists. In the wake of conducting Xin's funeral, Hannay feels beholden to your unit - the only reason why he's even alive at all. Freund takes a week to make the decision. Lieutenant Hannay will fill the E22 slot in your order of battle. Second Lance, Number 2 postition. Xin's slot.
Upon making your way back to the SLDF cantonment in the Rim Worlds Republic, you are brought up to full strength. A new MechWarrior, SGT Kenji Yamamori, is quickly assigned to your understrength 2nd Lance in the E24 slot. His Mech's stats are below (and will form the basis of a modern Starslayer variant, actually):
