11-14-2015 OP Queimada Grande: (Snake Planet)
Hi Everyone,
Here’s our latest mission performed by Battlestar Raven Battle Group (RBG). This OP has two first time performances. First, the newly commissioned Gunstar Trireme commanded by Colonel Leonidas and crew; second, the Ravens Seekers Squadron lead by its first CO Lt Jg Mik Mo along with Ens. Wedge and Ens. Freya, new members of the group.
The OP gets its name from the TV reality show Treasure Quest: Queimada Grande. Yes there’s also an island full of poisonous snakes except in this case, the whole planet is infested with snakes not just the island. The Cylons used the snakes as a means to keep humans from colonizing the planet. Their dastardly plan almost worked if it were not for a defective trigger happy toaster that shot down one of our Blackbirds sent to explore Cylon space.
The Raven sent SAR to retrieve the downed pilot. Ensign’s Wedge and Apex volunteered for the dangerous rescue flight and they barely made it off of QG with their lives while fending off snakes and Cylons stationed on the secret island garrison. As their Raptor jumped away from the planet, three Basestars showed up on Dradis. The RBG certainly has their hands full this time and no one knows what the Cylons have in store for our gallant crews.
The OP was set to take place at 10:PM Saturday the 14th of November. The RBG was anxious and ready to attack, so the OP started a bit earlier than planned. The mission quickly came to life and the comments were posted so fast it was hard to keep up.
I invite you to read what took place during the fast paced mission. If this interests you, please feel free to join us next time here in Forum Chat at the BFC.
Disclaimer: (No Snakes were harmed during this OP except for those that attacked our Marines and the snakes that made it to the Barbeque. The marinated Snake served with Pico De Gallo and the Snacon were crowd pleasers and are highly recommended by the chef!!!!!LOL)
