LACED Adidas Launch - Kev Vader - Sunday 17-Jan-2010 Troop Report: Laced Adidas Launch Venue: Laced, Adelaide St, Brisbane. Time: 1800hrs – 2100hrs Mission: Provide security detail for the launch of the latest Star Wars product. Trooper Attendance: SL Kev Vader TD Dredd TI –Rents- TK Goose TK Moxxxie TK The Scotsman Support Crew: oz_scout Beanie Recruit Tirilia Mission Detail: So, with the Redback Garrison freshly popped out of its blister pack our very first troop is for the launch of officially licensed Star Wars products. Arriving at Laced, there are stairs, stairs and more stairs. But we were treated like royalty with a massive change-room, lounge chairs, pizza and liquid refreshment. Once armoured up, we posed for our first official Garrison photo, and it was downstairs to meet our adoring public. The venue was small and it was quite packed, nevertheless we were able to move among the guests and pose for countless photographs. Two troopers were dispatched to guard the main entry and were instantly set upon by scantily dressed women. TK Moxxxie strove to earn her ‘Trooping Without A Really Important Piece Of Armour’ merit patch, by trying to hide under Vader’s cape for most of the night. The night was soon over, and our intrepid TI –Rents- bravely eliminated any of the remaining beer and pizza that he thought could be harbouring Rebel Sympathies Injuries: Moxxxie’s pride; and The Scotsman took a crack to the head, but no damage sustained. Public Incidents: TK Goose and TD Dredd were waylaid by a couple of loons with plastic sabers. Dredd cunning disarmed one of them and Recruit Tirilia, our intrepid first-time wrangler, actually captured the moment on camera! Malfunctions: Lord Vader’s comm system was temporarily overloaded by the level of background noise and had to be manually deactivated. Happy People: All, except the loons, Not Happy People: Loons, and all within earshot of the ShamWow Suggestion! Mission Status: The First Official Redback Garrison Troop was a complete success! And a big thank-you to Cadet Tirilia on her first troop as Support crew and for tolerating the diva antics of Lord Vader - More water, MORE water!!
