Mission Summary

Excess and Diva led a class at the Asylum to train some new recruits. Ten signed up for the class and five actually showed up for the training session on the basics of becoming a full-fledged pilot. The lesson concluded with each trainee conducting a preflight check and test run of a ship. They were ambitions in their ship choices, attempting to test out Summer, AbandonAllHope and Catastrophe on this initial test flight. During the test flight, radiation started falling more heavily. A few recruits who were made of sugar left but promised to ride another night. Only two remained to complete their first mission.

The first medal of the night was awarded before we even launched to Ziqqurat, who when grabbing one of the bags, noticed some unidentifiable odoriferous molecules, which had attracted a battalion of miniature alien beings and he went above the call of duty to take care of the matter for all of us.

As launch approached and radiation continued, we found that some veteran pilots were also made of sugar, but 12 pilots and cadets and one dummy showed on the launch pad, The mission parameters were to ride less than 10 light years, show the new cadets a good time, perform the SCUL march, and ensure all pilots have read the cadet training page on the SCUL website. LordMcFuzz navigated, and made sure to stay within the 10 light year requirement. Radiation continued and a few pilots regretted not having better spacesuits to protect them. We took shore leave at remote training ground in the Cambridge System that had been inspired by the game Qbert, At the top of the block of cubes, we learned the complicated steps of the SCUL march and performed it within SCUL tolerance. Afterwards, pIlots managed to descend a spiraling path that led to a final banked donut. All pilots safely maneuvered through. We then headed back to the fort with no injuries or mechanicals and all 12 pilots (and 1 dummy) accounted for. At the landing pad, Diva and Excess were each awarded a medal of diplomacy.
