SW Patron of the Month

Article by Bria

June's SW Patron of the Month is none other than CL4 Luke! I managed to track Luke down eventually, and convinced* him to answer a few questions.

1. First of all - congratulations on the award! Any thoughts on why you got it?
Thanks! To be honest, I have no idea how I got the award, but I've always tried my hardest at a newcomer at ISA and keeping OTF a friendly environment. Definitely a pleasant surprise and great encouragement for me to continue what I'm doing!

2. You're known to hang around OTF quite a bit... what is it you actually do around here?
I am an OTF addict :( Most of the time I lurk around, and talk to the chatters inside, while keeping an eye out for troublemakers.

3. And you have a cousin who's a Senator, I believe - how do you feel about that? Do any of the bribes benefits ever make their way to you?
Yep! KypD the senator of Hapes! She does bribe me a lot. It's great, having Neeb as a OTFer, it makes you feel a lot more at home. Some people mistake us for each other...I blame Iain. I have always wanted to be a senator, and she did show me the senator's page, not to mention bragged a bit, though in a good way :D

4. She bribes you? Is that connected to this whole "blackmail" business I keep hearing about? *g*
*L* I wish. No, usually I'm the one that's bribing her. The whole "blackmailing" business is just a bit of fun Iain and I started back when I was a newbie. I like to laugh, and OTF is a great place for me to do that....and she just happens to be a perfect target :D

5. Yeah, I've heard people refer to you as "Iain's Apprentice"... what's up with that?
Ah, Iain's apprentice! :D Iain is probably my closet friend in OTF other than my dear cousin, and I've always been a joker, and well...Iain is Iain.

6. I can't argue with that. In OTF terms, what are your ambitions? Is there anything in particular you want to achieve?
I've always wanted to become a senior officer, reach at least a CL6...and perhaps one day, the ISA director.

7. Ooooh, ISA director, really? I take it you like being in the ISA, then?
ISA is a great group to be in, coming from a family with a strong background for security and safety... I've always enjoyed making the chat a safer place to be... and no, it's not just for the armory!

8. Very cool! Okay... lastly, if they decided to publish a book called "A Guide to Luke: 3 Easy Steps", what would be in it? *g*
I get to publish my own book? Ooh... let's see, 3 easy steps... well, #1 would probably be "Loves life, and is always joking around"...#2 would be "Always determinded to make the world a better place for everyone," and number 3 would be "Never, ever give coffee, or even Iain would cower" :(

_{*No Lukes were hurt during the course of this interview. Nor before. Nor after. Honest. Don't look at me like that or I'll hurt you too!}
