List of Isle of the Blessed articles

This summary article provides an overview of the Isle of the Blessed news articles that have been published through the BattleCorps website.

The Isle of the Blessed channel articles were in-universe personal logs of people involved in the fighting for New Avalon during the Word of Blake Jihad, including Precentor Geoffrey Zucker, Corean Enterprises test pilot Robert Doucette, and an unnamed Word of Blake MechWarrior with the 44th Shadow Division. This was a tie-in to the eponymous serialized novel published via BattleCorps. The channel was abandoned after the storyline had wrapped up.

The list is sorted in chronological order. News articles are listed here with the exact same name as listed on BattleCorps (possibly including misspellings), irrespective of possibly deviating names within the article proper.

Thought I’d start this "journal thing" to keep my thoughts somewhat coherent. I think it’s just as much for me as it is for you (thanks for the suggestion, by the way), considering all the stress and strain everyone’s under.

Journal. I’m starting one because of what will be ahead. And because I fear being alone.

The Third Transfer. It is only weeks from us.

The last three weeks were hell.

It seems like I only find time to write when I'm burning away from New Avalon. At least our stay was longer than the first time.

I live as a pirate, preying off New Avalon for supplies, now that our "relief supplies" for those we call enemy have run out. Good thing there's a few billion farmers on a world capable of supporting five others with food in the neighborhood.

Apologies for the disjointedness. My mind's hyper on caf, so I'm feeling erratic.

No complaints filtering to me, so I'm assuming the technical aspects are ok. Didn't do a live-fire test, though, as we need to conserve the ammo… the Word hit another firebase about eighty klicks out.

Five years. And it looks like we might take New Avalon after all this time.

We heard about the ambush. We scrambled what we could, but by the time they got there, it was too late.

Ok, not good. Not good at all. We've had to increase our patrols in the area since most of our security detail has been reassigned elsewhere.

Missiles rippled across the left arm of my Maelstrom, shattering armor. Wireframe flickered yellow to red. I saw movement in the trees and hit back with my Cyclops. Emerald light burned through the trees…

SITREP: Word of Blake Militia

Publication Date: 2006-12-05
In-Universe Date: 4 February 3073

Even through the soundproofing of my Toyama's cockpit I could hear the crump of the Fed Rat artillery, feel the rumble of the shell impacts beneath my feet, falling with deadly accuracy.
