Mission Summary

After a long off-season in cryostasis, pilots assembled early at the fort to reminisce about missions of yore and bolster each others' wills for a mission that planed to fly under an ominous threat of radiation and chill temperatures. A cadre of pilots from the Starchaser Division joined as well and spirits were high. Launch went off with only a slight hitch, as Dr Claw needed a few extra moments to pre-flight his ship, having been tapped to assist with last minute and mission critical wookie work on Syntax Error.

Laughing and cheering in the face of constant light radiation, the fleet made a direct path through the Harvard constellation much to the joy of quite a few civilians who offered their praise in the form of high-fives and waves. Our destination was to visit with Diana, stalwart guardian of Somernova (and to rendezvous with DeadBride and Threespeed.) A quick cockpit adjustment was made to Patent Pending's ship and photo documentation of our encounter was made before the fleet took flight once more, this time to search for snax near the Kendall Constellation.

Our respite in Kendall was successful and morale was high as snax and stories were shared outside a luna 7-11. A plan was hatched for a quick lap of the nearby steam globe then bugging out to the fort. With haste the fleet made it's way down the space lanes and made several orbits of the globe before disaster struck. Bowser called mechanical and the wookies rushed in to discover that the sonic disruptor dish mounted to Porphyrios had become structural. The rigors of space flight had taken a toll on the ships bow and the hull breached, nearly snapping the ship in twain. Given the lucky support of the funk emitting accessory and Bowser's close proximity to the starpath, the ship was deemed worthy enough to be flown back to the fort dandy-horse style.

Bowser took the lead on a three light-year direct path to the fort, successfully bringing the ship home to berth and earning a medal of strength, in spite of the new, very dubious configuration of his ships hull.

On the launchpad it was pointed out that pilot Gritty had traversed meat space to our local system via a winged sky tube only a day prior and was returning again on the morrow, so a medal of strength was awarded to her as well.
