Venue: Big-W Stockland Rockhampton
Time: 10:00am-11:30am
Mission: Big-W Stockland Rockhampton - Star Wars BluRay Bundle
Trooper Attendance: Angelman
Guest Trooper Attendance: LadyTarkin
Support Crew: Dengar
Detail:
Not an ideal start to the mission this time, fighting our way through imperial traffic, we were detoured by numerous road works and a trip to Nerf's house to collect cards and flyers. Amazingly still managed to arrive at our rendezvous point (service desk) right on 10:00am, our support unit Dengar had already arrived and scoped the layout, which LadyTarkin and myself were already familiar with. We quickly suited up in the room provided and proceeded out amongst the Rockhampton civilians. We were very well received, many of the imperial citizens engaged us in conversation whilst making donations to the Queensland Cancer Council. Dengar did a fantastic job of rattling the can and guiding me around the store. Thanks to Joanne (who I should talk into doing a female emperor) for arranging the AV section staff to have episode IV playing.
It was quite a leisurely deployment this mission, civilian numbers were down inside the imperial Big-W store, with our reduced numbers we thought it best not to venture into the larger complex, which was experiencing large crowds.
We were pleasantly surprised to be approached by a member from Gladstone with his younglings, who is yet to complete his training. Hopefully we have inspired him to complete his TK build/training.
Several ladies engaged in conversation with LadyTarkin, I'm not sure as to what imperial secrets were shared.
We patrolled the store looking rebels for around one and a half hours but only found smiles and laughter from the imperial citizens enjoying their Christmas shopping.
Charity Funds Raised: $112.60 for Queensland Cancer Council (that's over a dollar a minute, thank you Rockhampton)
Will submit a receipt when I get over to the Cancer Council later this week.
Injuries: Angelman - Small armour bite to back of right calf.
Malfunctions: After LadyTarkin and I saw the photos we have adjusted my chest plate to sit lower down. And yes we will be fixing the collar on the Imperial Staff Officer uniform.
Public Incidents: None
Mission Status: Success, handed out a few cards to some interested persons.
Photos:
I call this one "Please stop laughing or I may have to shoot you"
