Night of the Flying Maggots
Tonight we set out searching for adventure on the last night of summer with four shiny new baby maggots in tow. Old school pilot Giraffe made his first appearance in several years, and brought a babymaggot as an offering. Our objectives were to 1) eat ice cream 2) fly a kite 3) eat unsavory snacks procured from Luna 7.11. All three objectives were achieved despite some difficulties encountered along the way that seemed likely to derail our success.
*IronButterfly carries a nylon butterfly
*Millennium Falcon kite does the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs. Engaged pulse-drive until coast was clear to engage hyper-drive.
*Civis show up with fireworks
*BaneThunderwolf receives Medal of Chic for his space pirate/Renaissance fair cosplay outfit.
Navigator Stogie bailed on the last leg of the journey due to a space-ache, but not before requiring us to climb the massive g-well en route to Fort Summer, which contributed to the higher-than-usual g-well rating for the mission. Threespeed took over navi duties for the remainder of the mission. Back on the landing pad, all four new maggots were hazed simultaneously, followed by a group maggot dance-off won by Tyrian, who will always be a maggot in our hearts. We welcome our new space brothers and sisters.
