Date: 28-4-2012
Venue: Cancer Council FUNdraising Day at Heights College Rockhampton
Time: 2:00pm to 7:00pm
Mission: To be awesome and roam around the fundraising event, doing photos and making making kids smile.
Trooper Attendance: Angelman, LadyTarkin (plus one Jawa and one mini clone), Nerf
Guest Trooper Attendance: Sithershaw
Support Crew: Darkcyde
Detail:
Taking civilian transports and donning civilian clothes we met up with our imperial contacts. We arrived by our deadline of 1:00pm and found our way to a small secret hidden room at the event. We changed into our armour and uniforms and emerge to the stunned citizens. There appeared to be many people dressed as fictional characters, but the quality paled in comparison to our ranks. Many high fives were given, many hands were shaken and quite a few photos of smiling faces were taken. A rebel called Sithershaw had informed us that he may have useful information so we kept him in close proximity at all times. We also spotted a decoy Princess Leia, the smuggler Chewbacca and Lord Vader.
Unfortunately his information proved to be as patchy and reliable as the weather, just as the crowds were starting to build rain showers passed over the event.
Fortunately later in the afternoon the rain stopped and the crowd numbers swelled.
Once the darkness set in and the flood lights turned on, it was deemed a little to hard for the TKs to safely navigate the wet grass, low light and growing crowds.
So we implemented our back-up strategy and switched to our RBG civilian clothes and mingled with the crowds enjoying the entertainment and fireworks.
The rebel information returned no leads, though we may have to investigate this event next year.
Charity Funds Raised: NA, all funds collected at the gate, will report a when I hear.
Injuries: None
Malfunctions: Angelman's shoulder bells, Nerf's Compad stopped functioning (borrowed my crewman one).
Public Incidents: One slap on the back (to Angelman), one kid tried to grab Nerf's gun (Nerf had a good grip on it).
Mission Status: Success, would have been more successful if the weather had been better.
