Detail:
The imperial shuttle registered to TK4598 arrived in the Garden City landing facility at 0915hrs and TK4598 escorted ID7931 to the venue. Upon entering, Lord Vader was returning to his transport to retrieve some more equipment.

After armouring up, TK4598 and ID7931 escorted by Kobukuro and Yankee approached the front of the store. There were many smiles when the local populace realised the the Imperial forces were hard at work keeping rebel scum at bay. Shortly after, a Jedi was escorted to the front of the store by Lord Vader and Willza. Donations to the New Death St... I mean the Kmart Women's Hospital Charity and many photos of the imperials hard at work were taken.

At around 1200hrs, Lord Vader was requested to contact the Emperor via holonet, so TK4598, ID7931, Willza and Yankee performed a patrol around the store. It was during this patrol that an astute TK4598 enquired about a Turbolaser, and the staff manning the audio and vision counter were more than helpful, displaying for us a rather effective piece of weapons technology. I believe locally it was referred to as a "Nerf" gun.

Upon returning to the front of the store, the troopers discovered Lord Vader locked in a mortal struggle with a local jawa over a construction kit. The jawa eventually won out, much to Vader's displeasure. The troopers then moved back out the front of the store for donations and photos.

TK4598 had to retire for a brief break, during which Lord Vader returned to discover said trooper utilizing his cargo crates as a makeshift workbench. This was again to Lord Vader's displeasure.

With Lord Vader's departure, TK4598, ID7931, Yankee and Willza were left to finish the mission, a final donation and photo session followed by a quick patrol around the store. Under a strange force power, ID7931 turned on TK4598 and a quick lightsaber battle occurred in the "Toy" section before the troopers paid the "Lay-by" counter a visit and then retired themselves.

(Sorry, don't know how to embed the slideshow.)

to correct a few errors: the charity was the Kmart Womens Hospital Foundation... not the Kmart Childrens Charity....

also, if you look at the security holograms, TK4598 was seen to draw a 'jedi' weapon of a blue-colored lightsaber on the other personel present, only being fended off at the last minute with the use of a crudly constructed 'toy' lightsaber.

but yea, it was a good troop... As Tac said, plenty of citizens gladly giving money to the new de- I mean hospital charity... yes... hospital charity...

Photos are inbound, some, if not most, turned out really well, especially for a camera-noob like myself. Should I create a new album for the troop in the 'bucket account or just post some pics here?
