Venue:
Logan North Library
Time:
18:00 - 20:00
Mission:
To enter a team of troopers into a science fiction trivia competition.
Trooper Attendance: (all in civilian gear)
SuperAzza
TheWolf
Sniper
Fampa
Support Crew:
nil
Detail:
An elite team of troopers were dispatched to Logan Library for their annual sci-fi trivia competition! Armed only with our nerd knowledge and wits, we arrived at the library (Superazza a little late, stuck in the hyperlanes) and registered ourselves as the mighty Redback Garrison. With 8 other teams it was always going to be a hard slog but we picked a comfy set of sofas and settled in for a brain busting 2 hours.
There were six catergories in all, round 1 was Dr Who, which was definately a hard round. This was followed by a Star Trek round, which despite the odds, did exceptionally well in. Then came the mammoth music round, 25 peices of music we had to name. Taking a break for some much needed sugar, we then entered our element - THE STAR WARS round. Nailed it! This was followed by a random sci fi question round, everything from stargate to babylon 5. Last but not least was the picture round.
Feeling a little confident, the winners were announced. The Trekkies came 3rd. The mighty Redbacks, only 3 points behind first came 2nd and the brisbane sci fi group came 1st. Out prizes included a Star Trek figurine, a Star Trek DVD, a space DVD narrated by Captain Picard, and a book. The Stormtroopers were not impressed lol. Still the team did fantastic! Congratulations and looking forward to next year!
