As I awoke on Christmas Eve to find my colleague, long standing friend and closet ally lying recently deceased in a Philadelphia mortuary, I didn't think I would be able to pick myself up and carry on. Luckily, the people in Philly that loved Space as I did and the people around myself in New York wasted no time whatsoever. Elements of Detroit joined the hunt, Seattle assisted where possible and after a ridiculously bloody day, justice was brought to the criminals who set out to destroy the best part of a year's work at a time when we should have been celebrating and making merry.

Christmas Evening grew to an end and as Christmas Day began the cheers, the backslapping and the good spirits swelled around the streets of New York. A day of devastation, cold murder and pain was over. 

After a few hours sleep I know many of my friends and colleagues tried to press on with their Christmas's at home with their families. For me, there was one massive missing presence, the guy who gave me every opportunity I have had. Before the day was done, a brief sit down with the remaining leaders took pace. 

Boxing Day and the rebuild begins. Despite some heavy losses, Philadelphia, New York and Chicago stand as strong as ever. 

In the hours and days following this, Philadelphia, will be taking charge of Los Angeles. 

It was deemed that Rampage would be permitted to inherit Detroit from the former leadership and rebuild. Elle and Cassandra will step up in place of the late, great, Rubix. 

Coltrane keeps on trucking in Seattle. 

Closer to home for me, Myself and the team in New York will be inheriting Las Vegas. I would like to be the very first to congratulate @Madeline on taking over there. I'm sure she will do amazingly. 

As we push forward and grow again, I would like to raise a glass of wine to Spaceman in honor of a great run. Merry Christmas.
