Phoenix Rising

[Phoenix]

Greetings, Redback Garrison!

My name is Luke. I met many good members of the mighty 501st today at AUSCON and was instructed... (or was it coerced...? ) to join the forums as soon as I was home. Well, here I am.

I had the monumental privelidge of being trusted to wear Goose/Mark's TK suit to wear around AUSCON and even had some photo sessions in the 501st booth when no other troopers were available. It was an immense honour and pleasure at the same time. I met many of you and forget names but was pleased to meet the group.

I have been under Goose's guidance which led to the process of assembling a TK suit. Apok/Adam and I had a suspicious car park meeting at Dreamworld which took me over two hours to drive to (I live 40 minutes car-ride further than the Sunshine Coast in the direction away from Brisbane) in which I obtained the armour needed. Real life has put a few setbacks on finishing the armour, but some clear time is ahead and I hope to be finished soon.

I was first 'exposed' to the 501st at the first AUSCON and was thoroughly impressed with your mission and the reasons the 501st does what it does and who they do it for. I wanted to become a part of that and contribute to the cause.

I'm very glad to be in the process of joining the 501st.

Phoenix/Luke.

I'm currently working on the torso of my armour.

Here is a progress shot of it with all the gadgets sitting under the helmet.

I hope you like it so far, but I'm still not sure it will pass the accuracy test...
