Troop Report, Hairhouse Warehouse Biggest Morning Tea - JOker - Saturday 1-Jun-2013 Date: 01/06/2013 Venue: Hairhouse Warehouse, Stockland Rockhampton Time: 10:00 Mission: To assist in raising funds as part of the “Biggest Morning Tea” Trooper Attendance: Angelman, Lady Tarkin, Joker Support Crew: Support crew for this one were great, with Stormybrite, Darkcyde and poindex83 helping out for the whole time, Beep13 and Andyrulz came for a while, and Nerf and Kitteh dropped by to say hi as well Charity Funds Raised: $467 for the Cancer Council Injuries: Nil Malfunctions: Angleman has a lense come out of his bucket as we were starting to armour up, this was fixed with the aid of superglue from Joker’s kit and a borrowed droid (called a “hairdryer”) to blow enough air to speed the curing Public Incidents: Nil Mission Status: Success Mission Report: Episode 8, The Search for Lady Tarkin… After intercepting holonet transmissions, Imperial Command has learned that local purveyor of hair care and beauty products “Hairhouse Warehouse Rockhampton” would be hosting a fundraiser to support the Cancer Council, as part of the “Biggest Morning Tea” program across Australia. With a mission of this importance hanging in the balance, Imperial Stormtroopers were immediately dispatched to the location, with an Imperial officer to oversee the operation….
We decided to establish our imperial beachhead at the front of the store, there was already quite a crowd gathered to observe a native tradition called “balloon animal making”, and shouts of “Star Wars” were heard long before we reached the front. Lady Tarkin obtained a suitable receptacle for donations and we got straight to work.
Things were progressing so well that Joker and Angelman took time out to examine a true piece of Imperial memorabilia, a vintage “Empire Strikes Back” E-11 Blaster, a recent gift to Joker from fellow trooper Agent Smith [/URL While Imperial Stormtroopers are unwavering in their commitment to duty, the same cannot be said of officers, as Lady Tarkin went MIA. Believing that she was investigating a possible Rebel uprising at the rear of the store, we continued to hold the beachhead at the front, oblivious to the truth… [URL=http://s1055.photobucket.com/user/AusJOker/media/HHWH/P1070629_zps392ba972.jpg.html] She was gone for quite a while…. We began to wonder if she’d ever be back…. Eventually, she returned, wearing what appeared to be to be some type of jedi robe, and with a distinctly new do, we tried to ask her about where she’d been, but she did something called “pulling rank”…. Not sure exactly what this means, but her tone discouraged any further questioning, and she outranks us. After ensuring that we trooped long enough to know not to question her authority again, Lady Tarkin gave us permission to test out the service… Cadet Beep dropped by to say….well, we thought she’d say hi, but she just threw Lady Tarkin’s cape on her head and ran around mumbling “Something, Something, Something Darkside…” The origin of this reference is still unknown, but we think the Emperor will be most displeased... Just a little more off the top… Unable to resist a man in uniform sporting a new haircut, Minnie Mouse took a liking to Joker, the image of our trooper and Darth Mickey’s girlfriend quickly found its way back to the mousey overlord , credible sources inside the Magic Kingdom report that the infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett is being dispatched to deal with the issue… Finally it was time for one last group photo with the staff, who all had awesome costumes of their own, and to call it a day….Mission Success RE: Troop Report, Hairhouse Warehouse Biggest Morning Tea - Baytrooper - Saturday 1-Jun-2013 You Guys and Gals are Awesome.
