Hot Shot

Initial Plan: Complete radiation immersion at some point on the mission, as well as some play at a larval recreation area. Three radiation derbies were to be completed. Mission Launch: Several civies were spectating and thoroughly enjoy the show, with babymaggots Possum and Bacchus introduced to the gang. After navigating several loops a larval recreation area was secured, and festivities commenced. XXIII and several other pilots immediately scaled the structures as the shore leave began. Magical radiation streams were mysteriously activated and Civitron eagerly jumped to receive an enema which resulted in a medal of stupidity...erm...strength. At the end of shore leave, long-time-maggot Medico was knighted by Dr. Claw. As we set off again after shore leave, grueling g-wells caused the fleet to spread out a bit too much. The fleet was stopped by no fewer than 2 STs at once, and babymaggot Possum courageously spoke to them, receiving the Medal of Valor for her efforts. Several g-wells later, the Admiral called a meeting to discuss our slinkiness. XXIII suggested the slow ships go in the front, and it seemed to fix our issues. When the g-wells were complete, the radiation immersion commenced, with many acquiring a Sans-A-Spacesuit medal. A great blue heron buzzed Leotard, Epoxy, and Dead Bride during the full radiation immersion, a once in a lifetime incident. Back in our star system the radiation derbies commenced, with Rocket winning 2 of 3 due to superior firepower, and Excess winning one. Medals were awarded at the launchpad, including a Medal of Ingenuity to Rocket for his bugle, as well as naming Rocket the Fleet Herald. The mission was a complete success!!
