Date: Saturday, 16th October 2010
Venue: Southern Plaza, Suncorp Stadium
Time: 1745 hours
Mission: To promote the MS Moonlight walk, and enforce the will of the Emperor
Trooper Attendance:
TheWolf TK4132
Phantom TK5389
Sandman TS4159
Cutter TK6300
Trillia TB3212
Hopfot TB4881
Guest Trooper Attendance: None
Support Crew: Phantom's Son
Detail:
Scout Trooper Hopfot and Myself, TK4132 were dispatched in a light shuttle to recon the area ahead of the main landing force.
Upon arriving at the site we scouted out the area ahead of schedule, and reported landing instructions back to the main force.
The rest of the attending troopers were then ferried in Phantom's larger shuttle in two groups, to our assigned landing area, where we began to don our armour. As this was taking place, we were contacted by TS4159, who was still at the departure site, having arrived at the landing bay late. Trooper Phantom raced back with the shuttle to bring him to us.
Now fully assembled and armoured, our force made itâ€s way across the terrain to our objective. Having earlier scouted out a lifting device, this allowed us to avoid the 300 steps up to the plaza, where we were to meet our MS Liaisons.
Once introductions were made, we gathered a few cards to hand out, and our armour was improved by the addition of small red MS flags.
Things were quiet at first, there not being many citizens around, so Trooper Hopfot decided to have a go at the soccer ball kick, that tests your speed. He scored a mighty 56 kph. Not to be outdone, Trooper Cutter had a go as well, and his score was even higher, having achieved a kicking speed of 66 kph.
Not long thereafter, the sun started to go down, and as the wind was still blowing at about 150 knots, it was a bit cool to be out in the open. Nonetheless, the troopers remained on station, and soon the crowds arrived. Before long we were crowded on all sides by eager fans of the empire, and many photos were taken.
Trooper Sandman was doing an excellent job bring the donations bucket to the attention of the people, although some persons just donâ€t hear the rattle, no matter how close or loud it is. Still, his efforts for the evening are to be congratulated. It will be interesting to see what the totals will be.
At one point during the evening, the crowds were so large, and so enamoured with us, that it became necessary for the troopers to stand back to back for photos, so we could all keep an eye on one another. There were some cheeky kids that were trying something a little sly, but Trooper Cutter imposed himself between them and the rest of us, and they soon gave up their behaviour.
Once the crowds had moved on into the stadium, it was time for us to depart. We said our goodbyes to the MS liasons, whom were extremely happy that we were there, and with the attention that we bring. Back down to the shuttles we went, where we de-armoured, said out goodbyes, and headed off to our barracks, another job well done.
Injuries: None reported
Malfunctions: None reported
Public Incidents: None, although a few cheeky kids were attempting to create some.
Mission Status: Success. Public awareness of the might of the Empire was re-inforced, and many more citizens are aware of the Moonlight walk this week.
