The results: CM John Doe (Sin): Laserless Total: 363,101 Mission 1 - 70,739 Mission 2 - 52,888 Mission 3 - 167,706 Mission 4 - 77,675 MAJ Artyis (Sigma): Laserless Total: 359,799 Mission 1 - 59,656 Mission 2 - 55,405 Mission 3 - 171,177 Mission 4 - 80,434 LC Astarosta (Kappa): Laserless Total: 336,467 Mission 1 - 51,040 Mission 2 - 49,124 Mission 3 - 170,093 Mission 4 - 73,704 Neither Psi nor Theta's gladiators bothered to send in submissions, earning them special titles of ignominity - Theta in particular, whose Gladiator failed to defend their honor for a second straight round. >:\ However, the competition was again fierce, with several high scores being set by our pilots, and the final result contested only by a few thousand points. So, congratulations to this month's Champions of the Ring...Sin Squadron! Championed by CM John Doe, Sin ousts Kappa from the place of honor to reign for another month! Congratulations, Sin! Details on Round III will be announced later in the report.
