Hey all, Raptor here
Happy Birthday and many happy returns to the Wing Commander CIC, from me and
all the HTL crew. You guys have done more than anyone to keep the Wing
Commander community on the Internet thriving over these past few years.
We're proud to have been associated with you in that time, and look forward
to continuing the partnership in the future.
Our CIC birthday chapter is the first of a four-parter called "Check And
Mate", written by myself and Joe "Wraith" Guida. This story signals the
beginning of the end of the Nifelhiem battle, as the Yorktown and the
Valeria begin closing in on the last of the Nephilim carriers. The sharp
eyed among you will notice a gap between the last Valeria story (which had
us preparing a strike against a Nephilim group codenamed Epsilon) and this
one, which starts just after that strike. The chapter that slots in there is
still being written, and will be published after "Check And Mate". Please
send any and all comments to me at or to Joe at
captpowell1@earthlink.net.
The story is at:

The second half of our birthday present is a promisary note. As you know,
we've been working hard on Holding The Line Dot Net, and were hoping to
debut it for the CIC's birthday. Unfortunately, the site isn't quite ready
yet. When it is ready though, it will be unveiled to the public here at the
CIC, even before it is released on the Aces Mailing List.
Best, Raptor
