From the Voice of the Dragon
« on: August 27, 2013, 05:52:15 AM »
December 7th, 3031

Dragon's blade falls far
Yellow bird within the Pearl
Honor from without

It is with deep sadness that Luthien reports the passing of Kurita Theodore, Coordinator of the Draconis Combine and First Lord of the Star League.  Such times require the strength that is drawn from the old ways and this strength will be given to all citizens of the Draconis Combine by Kurita Isoroku, the new Coordinator of the Draconis Combine and First Lord of the Star League. 

All citizens are ordered to undertake a week of mourning for the late Coordinator.  The week following will be used to celebrate the honor and vigor of Kurita Isoroku and give thanks for his rise and guidance.

Okay now we are channeling Babylon 5 . Oh the proper quote is "And so it begins" spoken by Kosh Naranek. Trust me Big B5 Fan

So how many times did Kosh say that?

Considering the newsflash "...the strength that is drawn from the old ways..." I would think traditionalist. Although it might be the normal PR drivel for solemn occasions in the Combine.

Hearing the loss of Coordinator Theodore Kurita and improvements he could have made to the Draconis Combine!  The strength being drawn from the Old Ways can only mean an increased state of alert for nations bordering the Draconis Combine!  Time to hire more mercenaries!

The Lyran Commonwealth has no comment on the matter of Theodore Kurita's death. The LCAF will maintain it's current alert status and await further developments.

The Taurian Concordat sends its deepest condolences to the Draconis Combine.

"In turn they tested each Clan namesake
in trial against the Ice Hellion's mettle.
Each chased the Ice Hellion, hunting it down.
All failed to match the predator's speed and grace.
Khan Cage smiled and said, "And that is how we shall be."

The Terran Hegemony offers its sympathy to the Kurita family, and joins the other nations of the Human Sphere in expressing its condolences to the Draconis people for the loss of their beloved Coordinator.

Isoroku was selected of the Black Dragons, though his exact standing is not clear.

One enemy with Honour is gone. The Dragoons are sad that the Dragon lost its last Coordinator.

The Wolf's Dragoons are pals with the Snakes in KU (as much as any merc can be with a SS), unless it is some other dragoons you are referring to.

What do you think why the Dragoons have leave the service with the Dragon? :)
They were pals in the past, but right now.... I will start over again with it when I can start writing diplomatic emails.

LOL! When else would someone named Isoroku make his move?
