After a quarter bottle of South African Port, my mind is at the optimal inebriation level for the writing of this post. I fully suspect that I'll have half a bottle by the end.

It is with great pleasure, and a slight buzz, that I extend my hearty congratulations to the members of Imperium Technologies, past and present, on our recent milestone. It was in our 3rd year that I felt that recognition of our milestone was deserving of a post here in COAD; in the past year we've seen some prestegious corporations close their doors and move onto new experiences... we're not one of them. I raise my glass high to my fellow ITRS; an awesome year was had, and we're set to continue our trends of pleasing friends and ticking off foes in the year to come.

/refills glass.

To our friends, most of whom have been around longer than the vast majority of Eve corps, you've stood by us and lent us unwavering support without question. Together, we'll continue to spit in the eye of death and give him mega-wedgies often. To our enemies of the past, many that you are, and to our current foes and those we've yet to meet, I raise my glass to you highest, brutal conflict in the life of Eve and the fountain from which we seek to partake often. You had me at Hello. My corpse is still considered a collectors item, come get it.

/refills glass again.

When people speak of the region Querious, they speak of IT. We've been here over 3 years... you will be hard pressed to find any corp, in any region, that has inhabited a region without pause for so long. Many have sought to evict us, none have succeeded... some have had a tantalizingly close taste of that success. I'm bragging, but my bottle is half full at this stage, I'm allowed to after four years; if you disagree, bite me.

/where the hell is all that port going?
/refills glass.

From working the market in Placid, to a long stint in the CFS, to being absolutely sick of the CFS and becoming independants in Querious; to owning the station of 9CG and giving it freely to the fledgling QDF and FIX, and to two years or irreplacable experiences in FIX, we raise our glass, and thank you all for making our time here so friggin worthwhile.

Cheers,
Av.


.... /yup, half a bottle left.
