Cmdrs, please charge your glasses and be upstanding.
One is afraid that public speech is not my forte but one will give it an Oxford try so to speak, what what........
'To all Bally well jolly Cmdrs who have weathered the early days,
To all Cmdrs who have suffered the Gank,
To all Cmdrs who have face planted on high G world's,
To all Cmdrs who have run the goods and seen profit, my God you are awesome.
I salute you and hold your trials and tribulations in high esteem, what what.
To all Cmdrs who have obtained the very pinnacle of both glory and godhood, yes, I refer to those of you who have obtained the golden chalice itself.
Please show your compliance to the machine overlords by taking a knee and holding up your cheap and worthless commanderhood for all to see.
We my dear Cmdrs are the chosen few, we are the tip of the spear, we are the new Elite.
First amongst equals, number one in a field of one.
WE ARE THE COBRA mk IV BAND OF CMDRS.
Thank you, thank you, I shall be here all week, what what
