Status: Success
Cold Fusion Reactor
In what might have been the shortest mission in history, Scul took
off from home base with 13 exuberant pilots following the christening
of the pleasantly purple SAW Phlox, did a quick loop, and headed
home so that Dr. Claw could switch ships after a small mishap with
Abandon All Hope. Departure number two with still exuberant pilots
occurred shortly thereafter and the gang set out to respond to a
distress call received from the research team at Cruft Laboratories
requesting assistance investigating the undocumented properties of a
salvaged Soviet-era cold fusion reactor.
Complete with great navigation by the dapper Bendy, the gang took
some brief stops in order to attend to two mechanicals of the disco
death star, which had become wobbly and wonky after its axis snapped
but was quickly whipped back into shape by a crack squad of several
pilots. After effortlessly maneuvering through a stretch of elevated
transport activity, the battalion arrived at the source of the
distress call in the Kenmore Constellation, where pilots enjoyed
music and food, and Scul successfully and rigorously busted the funk.
Some pilots maintained sentry outside, entertaining themselves with
stogies, juggling, a chatty cab driver, and delicious vegan root beer
floats. Departing from the distress call, the intrepid gang continued
on, encountering hordes of jubilant civilians before being exposed to
a sudden heavy burst of radiation. But despite the atmosphere's best
attempts, spirits could not be dampened, and a successful mission was
completed.
