Summer Ball 2012 report

The GFC Bi-Annual Summer Ball 2012 – The Adventures of Captain Proton!
Time seems to pass so quickly these days, it feels like only yesterday I was walking the streets of Fair Haven. Six Months since that day, and from what I have heard it’s been awfully busy!
It was nearing 2:00PM SLT and people started to gather outside the Roddenberry Center, the venue for the Bi-Annual Ball. Guests were greeted by a new addition to the Ball system where there were free items available to members at the door, these freebies were:

A Thank You goes to all of the above!

Even the Admiral dressed-up for the Ball!
The time had come! Everyone had arrived and taken their seats and the Admiral took to his Podium. He welcomed everyone to the Ball and wasted no time beginning the festivities. Sodak Xeltentat took to the stage shortly afterwards to explain the Ball Movie that was to be shown on the big screen!
The screen was lowered and the movie began, and I must say was a huge success! I special thank you to both Sodak Xeltentat and Sereana Westland for their work on the movie! I hope there are many more additions to the thickening plot!
Stay tuned for a posting of the movie! You won’t want to miss it!

The Mind Beam!

Admiral Mechanique – the mind beam!

Anyone who looks at this picture knowing this was in fact the Admiral, might be wondering what on earth was going on at the Ball. Wonder no longer, because this was the fantastic RolePlay that took place at the end of the awards.

The Ball was held within the Holodeck and we had all dressed up in traditional Proton uniforms, however someone had forgotten to remove the real Chaotica from the program. Admiral Mechanique had come dressed as Chaotica which was bad news when the real Chaotica came storming into the Ball area followed by one of his trusted Henchman and a Robot!

Chaotica ordered the Robot and the Henchman to bring Admiral Mechanique towards the Brain Manipulation device, however as the Admiral was placed upon the table Captain Proton and Constance Goodheart entered the room to stop the Evil Chaotica.

Chaotica ordered his Robot and his Henchman to apprehend the intruding programs while he brain-washed the Admiral. Luckily Captain Proton was able to convince the GalaxyFleetCommand staff to help him save the Admiral. After a short confrontation between Chatoica’s Minions and the Ball Attendees, Chaotica was forced to leave and the Admiral’s brain was returned to normal (we hope). Good prevailed!!!

All that was left to do was to celebrate in true GalaxyFleetCommand style with a great Fireworks display and then a party which lasted all through the afternoon.
So that’s yet another Ball, and another six months in GFC history! We’ve only got another six months to wait until the next one, I wonder what the theme will be?
A special final thank you goes to both Admiral Cobramax Mechanique and Fleet Admiral Katrina Bixby! To Dave Fearguis for the incredible Ball themed room and to Social Events for yet another great Party!
A final Congratulations to everyone who received an award and/or Promotion at the Summer Ball!
