Hey everybody! (hey Dr. Nick!) I am looking to rebuild the Black Nine Squadron from Beta. As you all know, before the time of cargo capture (which is damn fun) there was capture the flag, and as you also know, many lives were lost attempting to capture the beach ball. Back in those days there were five or six of us Itani who decided to do a bus run on the flag. We all gathered at the Itani home sector and headed out towards the Serco base. When we reached the first station before the Serco base, the NPC guards attacked us. One of my wingmen was blown up, and two ran away (cowards!). Anyways, when the remainder of our squadron (two others now that I think about it) jumped into the Serco home sector, we found a HUGE Serco fleet preparing to go and capture the flag themselves. This was a problem. Seeing that stock busses could never fight the horde of Serco, we decided to boost for the flag. Interestingly, none of the Serco attacked us, so we figured that they hadn't seen us yet and we might have a chance to sneak by them. They did take notice, however, when my wingman picked up the flag and started running towards the jump point. The third guy and I were left to cover his retreat. Although we fought harder than we had ever fought before, the three of us were quickly splattered into space by seemingly thousands of missiles as they lit up they screen (scary when your radar just turns blue). although we were killed, and scored no kills or even hits of our own, we inadvertantly stopped the flag raid the Serco were about to perform. As one of my wingmen reported after a terrific death (I was the first to go since I was closest to the enemy ships), one or two of the enemy had launched Avalons and had blown up or damaged several of their own fighters who had been chasing us. This info combined with the fact that the Serco didn't attack that day, must have meant that a large number of people were unwilling to attack After what had happened. Thus is the story of Black Nine Squadron.

So what I am trying to do, is find out where all my Black Nine buddies are. I have unfortunately lost the list of screen names that I had before, but I am hoping that some are still playing. If any of you guys are out there, my old screen name was SNUFFALUFFAGUS, and I would like to get the squadron going again. Thank you!

P.S. If anyone else would like to join Black Nine as a new member, just post here and I will take note. I won't start a guild until I have enough people, but I will take down your screen name and talk to you later about it.
