Omegamission Hallowheels

A lego man. A batman. A Dr. Who-mobile. A gnome. A dashing gentleman.
A Gorey-esqe Murderess. A furry animal. A Tony Stark. A Han Solo. A
Q-tip. A Sailor. A SadieBlake with fishnets. And others, too numerous
to list but all pure fabulousness in their own special ways. These
random characters dressed up as SCUL this Hallowheels, and we quite
convincingly pulled it off.

So, there were like, a lot of pilots and guests and stuff… and we had
two parties to go to, and other surprises along the way… and riding to
do! So we were off! Plasmonster led the fleet on a
loopdey-doopdey-style route through our home system… and everywhere we
went, the civilians were decked out in creative style. The funk was
grooving and the high-fives were plentiful. A couple circuits through
the Porter and Davis systems, and then the fleet had some business to
attend to. Hey, remember climbing up that hill to Fort Summer the way
we used to do all the time? No? Well, guess what.. we're doing it
again! But this time there are cupcakes at the top! (and a Shakes!)
ZyGoat brought fancy homemade SCUL cupcakes out for everyone as her
trials, and after chowing down, we all witnessed as MegaSeth performed
her knighting ceremony. Welcome ZyGoat! And feel free to keep the
sweet treats coming, even though you're a pilot now and you aren't
being forced to impress us anymore. (Except, maybe something savory
for Axeman because he doesn't like sweet things.) Anyway, moving on…

And off we were again to meet up with the Artisan's Asylum distress
call in the Charlestown system. But this proved a challenge as an evil
sorcerer had apparently put a cloaking device over the entire distress
call. Our search efforts yielded other treasures though, namely a
gigantic mechanical land beast with the keys still in the ignition.
But we let the sleeping giant lie and moved on, back through some
tricky navigation, and finally found that the cloaking device had been
removed. Although, that's because the distress call was over. Curse
you, evil sorcerer! But we hung out for a little while with the
distress call survivors before moving on to our second distress call…
and no sorcerer could keep us from reaching this one, because we had
knowledge on our side! (as in, we knew where this one was located.. at
Pecan's Fort!)

So we arrived at Fort Sogo and were immediately greeted by the many
friendly pilots already in attendance. Pecan welcomed us in and was
quite the hostess. And here we had another important point of
business.. DrClaw, having successfully rebuilt WookieeBag in a most
SCUL-like fashion, was knighted by h4ckw0r+h. Welcome DrClaw! (insert
wookiee affirmative noise here.)

Fully rejuvenated after such a pleasant distress call, the fleet
headed out again, eager to ride, ride, ride! And so we did…we took a
nicely paced loop through the porter, harvard and central
constellations,
with the tunes blaring and morale high. And finally we headed back to
base, with perma-grins on our faces… altogether a very fun Hallowheels
ride. And so goes another season of SCUL, a challenging season but a
fun one as well, ending on a very high note, with a
super-gigantic-group hug for our Fleet Admiral. Huzzah!
