August Wonder Factory Visit - Bullant - Friday 23-Aug-2013 Date: 23rd August 2013 Venue: Wonder Factory, Royal Children's Hospital Time: 09:30-12:00 Mission: To bring some happiness to some very sick kids and their parents/siblings. Trooper Attendance: TK-8547 Bullant TI-4056 stormraven Support Crew: MrsBullant - Cadet Wrangler Details: Bullant and MrsBullant arrived at 09:00 and Bullant proceeded to armour up. stormraven's shuttle was delayed and he arrived just before the planned kickoff time of 09:30 and proceeded to armour up quickly. We headed off to the wards, ably lead by two Wonder Factory volunteers, one wearing a fairy dress and wings. We started in the oncology wards which is always tough, but once again we found quite a few kids who were very happy to have a visit from a stormtrooper and "Darth Vader". It always blows my mind that kids that have gone through so much can still find a smile on their faces. There were a few instances of younglings being overwhelmed with our awesomeness, in which case the fairy lady jumped in to save the day We visited 7 wards in total, including a couple of waiting/play rooms full of siblings getting a bit of time out from the wards. When we were finished visiting the wards we headed back to the Wonder Factory where Bullant engaged a youngling in a game of foosball ... and was soundly thrashed. stormraven thought he would try out a bit of costume swapping! Then it was time for a couple of group shots and then we de-armoured and headed home. Charity Funds Raised: None. Injuries / Malfunctions: None. Public Incidents: None. Mission Status: Complete Success.

So wished I could have been there... RE: August Wonder Factory Visit - Bullant - Friday 23-Aug-2013 We missed you mate You will be proud of me though, a mum walked into the rest room with a couple of kids and she had a lego box set sticking out of the top of her backpack. I tried to "retrieve" it in true Jawa fashion, but I wasn't light fingered enough. RE: August Wonder Factory Visit - redpaint - Friday 23-Aug-2013 Nice work guys, love your work. RE: August Wonder Factory Visit - BIDS - Friday 23-Aug-2013 Great work Troopers. Is that costume addition for 2nd Level Accuracy Bryan? RE: August Wonder Factory Visit - stormraven - Saturday 24-Aug-2013 As of yet the JRS doesn't have a 2nd level of accuracy but I think for me I will need to bigger wings or a jet pack RE: August Wonder Factory Visit - Rayvn - Saturday 24-Aug-2013 Rubbers wings were prettier.... RE: August Wonder Factory Visit - Donut - Saturday 24-Aug-2013 Awesome guys! If I wasn't sick, I would've come along. Great work!
