The sky dawned clear and white above the icy wastes of Romencol, the second
moon of M'Kwarii, deep within the Welshishish territories. Suddenly the
peaceful dome was split by the fiery contrails of approaching spacecraft.
Before long one of the higlands had been transformed into a temporary base
and training ground. This activity was not unobserved...
Overhead a Bricktorian probe collected photons, enjoying the show unfolding
below it. Under the control of one of the Regiment's ThunderClones(TM) The
spycraft circled lazily like a demented vulture. Shutters whirring, several
important peices of espionage were gathered.
A shot of the base that had been erected in very short order by the capable
hands of the especially cross piratical dudes,

And the warm hand of friendship extended between Captains Quirk and Ahab.

After that the Commanders moved up to the top platform of the Saucy Slayer
where Quirk's chief Engineer demostated the incrediably posable sexiness of
the Archangel hover assault vehicle to Ahab.

They also watched their jet-packed troops practice on the new launch aprons
on the slayer. It was at this point that the famous trader Part-out Pete
arrived with an escort. The Timmy Air Corps

And... Oh dear, some timmies never learn.

Not content to watch, the ShockJocks and Quirk's Archangels take to the
skies for some joint manoeuvres

Any suggestion that this was to shoot down the remaining Airbourne Timmies
is mearly a vicious rumour...

In the midst of all this flying around, Part-out Pete gave Ahab the word on
some new engines now in stock. Ahab visibly drooled at the prospect of more
mkXXI rowboats. General Dulin made an appearance and transfered command of
the latest graduates from the Plastic Academy to Quirk's command.
Finally in a bit to capture on film the infinitly improbably appearance of a
very assorted group of figs (including one with two heads and three arms and
a towel-less frood) the Bricktorian spy was captured by some very unfriendly
BlackGardsmen who deposited him at the feet of the Captains.

The probe was brought in and the film developed, under the sage advice of
Agent Honeybee (representitive of She Who MUST Be Obeyed) and Mr Flint, the
photos (with the really nasty surprises ommited) has been released to the media.
Speculation on the fate of the ThunderClone gathers no help from the images
released, and rumours of a rescue attempt are considered unlikely given Ahab
has now disappeared into the sub-space manifold (or some other similarly
technobabbly sort of thing).
In all this was a highly productive meeting (marred only by the striking of
the Space-Railway workers union) which laid invasion plans to be encated in
the comming months. Unfortunatly for the Bricktorians the probe did not have
a voice recorder aboard...
