Support Crew:
Captain Starlight (Star Wars fanatic) we think?
Malfunctions:
Repaint and Doug's armour bits needed some attention but nothing worth writing to Lord Vader about.
Report:
All arrived at landing bay on time where we were introduced and escorted to our armour-up rooms by Captain Starlight.
Within minutes we were all ready to set out to the wards to make the kids enjoy their Halloween day.
Captain Starlight was thrilled to see us in all our glory as he mentioned that he was a big fan and loved all the movies and characters.
"Wow you guys look awesome, the kids will love the stormtroopers the sandy person, the Jedi and that thing Leia wore to Jabba's place."
Doug interjected by saying that's bounty hunter Boushh, Tusken Raider and us, we are Biker Scout Troopers.
Anyway, in and out of lifts we went visiting the children in their rooms and in hall ways. Parents and friends were living their childhood memories too with mobile phones and pocket camera flashes going off.
Hospital staff were a bit dumb struck when seeing Star Wars characters leaving and entering one after the other.
Captain Star Destroyer entertained us with quotes from the movies and was so perplexed and at one stage told some kids we were harmless white robots!
Oh the fun of it all - we handed out stickers and books but I failed to hand out all my stickers due to my inability to see anyone properly from the fogging up as it was quite warm in the wards.
The Jedi Mup did a great job handing out t-shirts and trinkets to the best dress child.
Captain Starbuck gave us an extended break for our hard Empire work and
before we knew it we were in the lifts strutting down corridors handing out gifts again. With a "shadow" of a doubt I think we almost emptied the gift box - didn't we Mup?
Well thanks to Captain Star-bright that was a nice way to end Sunday afternoon troop at the Mater Children's Hospital.
Thanks to TheWolf, KattaK, Redpaint, Muppet, BigMac, TD-1535, Ms Raider, Crypto for their efforts and have a Happy Halloween everyone.
Injuries: none
Mission Status: To infinity and beyond!
