Gold Coast Leukaemia Foundation - Light The Night - Chief - Monday 15-Oct-2012
Date: 10/10/2010
Venue: Broadwater Parklands
Time: 1600hrs – 2000hrs
Mission: To show support for the Leukaemia Foundation with a nice night stroll by Lantern Light.
Trooper Attendance:
Oigen TK
Madine TD
J’Girl ID
Phoenix TKC
Chief TB
Deimos TR
Support Crew: Spooky, If I missed anyone please let me know.
Detail:
Upon arriving in my troop transport at the Broadwater docking bay’s I met up with fellow troopers Deimos and J’Girl at the Docking permit production computer, after receiving out permits for the required docking time we preceded to the registration desk to announce our presence and collect our lanterns.
After having a chat and bumping into Spooky we noticed the loyal imperial citizens were starting arrive, we headed back to our transports to Armour up in the local Docking Bay, right across from the local law enforcement band.
It was feared that Phoenix and Oigen were captured by the Rebels after not showing up at the assigned Docking Bay but after a short recon mission it was discovered they had been stopped for many photos.
Once regrouped we were posed for many photos it was good to see how well the Empire is supported in this area, after having our photo with the local law enforcement band we were approached by the local Holonews Weather guy Paul Burt for a show of imperial force on camera while he produced the weather.
It was now time for the pre walk talk to get underway we gathered in front of the stage to light up our Lanterns and display how many people were here to show their support first it was the Gold Lanterns to remember the loved ones lost this was followed by a moments silence, then it was time for the White Lanterns to be raised to show the survivors, cheer’s could be heard when this happened, and now for the Blue Lanterns these are to show support, there was an amazing sea of Blue, it was hard to believe there was so many it left you with this proud feeling that so many were here just to support this event and that they out numbered the Gold and White lanterns.
The walk began and what an impressive sight to see the line of Lanterns stretching along the Broadwater foreshore, we walked to the imperial match coming from the speaker system of Phoenix and stopped for many photos along the way. We finished the walk and posed for more photos, while the entertainment continued on the stage we departed to the Docking Bay to change and head out to the courthouse for mission debrief but the is a whole other story.

Fantastic report, Trooper Oigen!
This was a truly moving experience, and one that I'd like to support again.
Also of note, and as said a story for another time, was the Troop/walk back for Oigen and Phoenix to de-armour to the sounds of K-Pop and the 80s - attracting much attention from those loyal Imperial Citizens waiting for their public transports or eating at cantinas.
PS: Trooper Madine is now not considered as lax in cleaning his armour as he (and J'Girl) gifted him with a Stormtrooper gym bag! Thanks, you pair!
