Mission Summary

OH MY GOSH! LIKE, I LOVE SKULLS! she exclaimed as we flew by.

Warts and all, 16 pilots and one brave out-of-galaxy maggot waited patiently on the launch pad shaking out the kinks in life support. Without it,
the spice melange could not flow! All assembled fruity co-pilots were secured against falling, and the dial was set to maximum coze.

Hapto-esque manouvres and the Watertown System's spicy and unexpected flight surfaces quickly caused some pilots to fall behind, but couldn't squash the fun. Fuzz's perambulations soon led to unbeleafable crunchening circumnavigating the Fresh Pond nebula via wormhole territory old and new. The gourd-geous temperatures and wiggles and squiggles in dark spaces made for giddy pilots, showing off their best and brightest festive colors of the year.

At Danehy field, the gang shed their ships and shared the harvest, partaking in molecules of all temperatures, brought to a mission near you by Threespeed's ever clever instabonfire. Tricks and treats abounded, cookies and kimchi and PSL's, oh my! Meanwhile, maggot Finger Cheez branched out from Yer Mom and experienced a wide variety of ships, succeeding from Chastity to 88. As the fleet experienced the cornucopia of delights, into the pumpkin patch came two civilians, telling tales of a game of light and air, and provided such entertainment as to prolong shore leave, as if it were the entire goal.

But all things in their season, and pilots gamely sought their ships, meandering home before the clock struck the witching hour or Pastry Queen turned into a Pumpkin Spice Latte. And, like, for a mission that looked so basic, it was, like, the best.
