Mission Summary

Lot's of ridin' lots of dancin, lots of snacks, lots of derby. We
launched from Mount Olympus and descended through the clouds and into
the human realm. Around the Davis system we circled. Twice to be
exact! There was a brief pause to replenish liquid fuel reserves, then
off we continued, onto the cheers and jeers of the Harvard
Constellation.

We stopped in the Central system to partake of
Unsavory
Snacks and make our presence felt. Civilians cowered and cowtowed or
walked by without even noticing us. After our show of power, we
ventured to Kendall for the obligatory Dancing-in-the-Streets detail.


Once we'd started to feel the delayed effects of the simplest of
carbohydrates and the most complex of lipids, we snuck off to a secret
location and Derbied on the field of Mars. Nosepicker and Axeman?
transparently disguised the banned ship War in the first round
of Junior Varsity Derby. The Derby Laurels were rested upon maggot
UglySac, Moose, and others (add your name here). There was much
picking up of cones, and putting down of cones and ghostriding Angry
Candy, and Schemey began combat training early by letting the derby
play out "under fire".

When a certain of our
number had turned blue with cold and inactivity, Home we headed, via
the new and improved Landing Pad, a location thought to discourage
curious passersby from disrupting solemn SCUL rituals.


Wrong!

We had
two passenger ships cruise by, one nearly squashing the forward
thruster of PaleHorse. Despite the distraction, BabyMaggots Ugly Sac
and Zombie were appropriately cross examined and proved their worth,
the former by letting himself be jumped by his host, the latter by
showing good form in lurching. Maggot Sniffles was gallantly knighted
by a bespectacled AxeMan, and cheers were howled by all. Alpha Mission
was an unqualified success. HipHip Hooray!!
