Almost Disaster in Wellington

Day 2,121, 09:22 • Published in New Zealand New Zealand • by Jazzine

So my fellow ekiwis you're probably wondering why we started the resistance war yesterday. Well we didn't want to panic anybody so didn't say so at the time.

Our dear leader Crusadercarl was flying back to our secret base at an allies (Can't say where for his protection), after a meeting with our allies downunder, when he insisted on a flight over New Zealand currently under Fyromian occupation. Unfortunately they got shot down by a fyromian.



There was no mayday call for obvious reasons but the emergency beacon was activated and when we got no response from them on the radio we sprang into action. First organising a diversion battle then a team of us headed into Wellington on a rescue mission.

Myself, pamadapa, Koska de Strah, Kawala032 and Pax Romana climbed aboard a helicopter and headed for the zone where the emergency beacon was.



Finding that they had left the scene of the crash we went hunting for them.



We found the pilot in a bar:



Chatting up a local kiwi. After just about forcibly dragging him away we went looking for the CP.

And we found him:



Together with some locals he was showing off a fish he'ed caught and bragging about other fish he'ed caught which were bigger to some fyromian soldiers.



After killing the soldiers we could only get him to leave by taking the thing with us. Even with five of us it was heavy and he didn't help. Muttered something about him being the President and we were there to do it for him.

After hefting it miles back to the helicopter, and stopping to rest occassionally it was so heavy, we had a devil of a job fitting it in the helicopter and getting out of there.

And he was sober you can be sure I had him take a breathalyzer and a blood test when we got home. Had to talk him out of the idea of more fishing before we got out to our ship transport to the base.

So this was a close call. And something I hope we won't have to repeat.

But sadly we didn't come away unscathed.

Our Kiwi Mascot Charlie escaped from my backpack while we were lugging that fish. Took him along for good luck.

So kiwis still in Wellington keep an eye out for the little guy. We don't want those fyromians getting hold of him. Who knows what they'd do to him. Let us know if you find him, his pic below and he has a ring on his right leg inscribed with "Charlie, Proud Mascot of New Zealand Armed Forces":



So if you find him keep him in a safe place and let us know so we can come get him.

And boss don't know if its worse having you drunk or sober honestly.
