The first official Reclaimer t-shirt is up for sale! If you’ve wanted to start your memorabilia collection, now is a perfect time.
OFFICIAL ADDENDUM TO HIGH COMMAND: Certain lines from from this report have been stricken from the record, as requested. Specfically, the following paragraph has been altered to match the ‘official’ version read above:
Communication networks fleetwide have been severed, per recommendations from Command. Naturally this has had an adverse affect on UNSC operations around the galaxy and has proven extremely detrimental in the war against the Flood as all deployed fleets have been effectively stranded. We highly recommend reactivating communications as soon as possible, else we risk being overrun completely by the Flood.
This addendum is for your eyes only, sir, and is the last remaining evidence of this change in the sitrep. As such, this document should be destroyed immediately upon your reading of it, per UNSC/ONI Protocol AD593GT-Y – Prometheus.
I’m not really a poetry kind of guy. I’ve just never found the right kind of appreciation for the genre, as a rule. That said, the lines at the beginning of today’s comic are an excerpt from Brandy Schwan’s “Catacombs and Photographs” (from the chapbook of the same name). I fell in love with Brandy’s poetry the first time I read it, and I’ve been a fan ever since. It’s dark, lyrical, and has a kind of music to it that speaks to me. If you haven’t read any of her work, then I highly recommend you go buy her two collections and get familiar with her.
Change gears now.

Get those entries in to me – before time runs out!
The deadline for the Reclaimer: Sandbox contest is rapidly approaching. I’ve looked through a few of the entries already turned in, and there is some really nice looking stuff out there! If you haven’t gotten your entry turned in yet, you have until 11PM Eastern on Wednesday to get it emailed to me. Tick tock!
