Mission Summary

A transmission came to the Starchasers alerting them of a need for fuel for many civilians in the New Bedford star system. Smae stepped into the role of Mission Leader and sent a call for Starchasers and civilians alike to gather nonperishables powered by spaceship and civilian ship. Civitron person'd Fort Union to collect any walk-in donations while Nebula busted some original funk for visitors.

Smae briefed the Pilots, Cadets, and guests on the objectives and flight expectations. Bowser led the front of the gang as the fearless navigator. We started with 11 benevolent flyers running into Price Rite while Smae busted the funk near the entry. Starchasers were met with questions from management but ultimately were not turned away as paying customers.

Then, the team flew to Seabra where Ledgehammer noted that he was low on plasma. Ledgehammer filled up with more plasma and the team continued to Stop & Shop where additional fuel was acquired. Smae asked the team whether their cargo was making them unable to carry on or whether they were up for the up for some more gravity wells against wind and in cold.

Poofinson transferred her cargo to cadet tailgunner Ace. Others departed to drop off their cargo at Fort Union while several went on. A handful of civilians who started their journey to the fourth stop burned up, and not long after, Ledgehammer was again low on plasma and space walked back to the fort. Smae was struggling to fly Vox Populi through the gravity wells but ended up transferring her cargo to "Tim" (yes, this is his call sign and not his civilian name).

The crew reached Market Basket for the final fuel collection and gathered back at the Fort. Awards were handed to the team who remained.

Ledgehammer: traveled the furthest to make the flight
"Tim" : Heaviest Cargo Carried
Bowser: Host with the Most for good work as navigator, Outstanding Cranksgiving Longtimer
Ace: Fledgling award for being an outstanding newcomer
Smae: Master of Disguise

Donations of food and grumba collected benefitted the Southcoast LGBTQ+ Network to make baskets for families in need.
