Alexi’s Challenge

The contest, due to Sir Stuart's ineptitude, was slanted in favor of the king. I demand another contest of skill!

This insult on the olde kingdom musn't stand!

Karce’s Response

Ah Sir Alexi, have you no good graces? The contest was fair and just in comfirming my dominance of all that I see. Your continued pestering will not stand! I shall crush you once more! And when I look over your burning fighter I shall laugh at you impudence!

I accept your rematch and I shall defend my kingdom from the horror that you would bring to it!

King Karce Lives!

Thus:

The weapon chosen shalt be TIE FREE 184!

For Ice:

Promotion Story XXXXI: By LC Stuart


Stuart leaned back in his office chair toying with a lieutenant commander badge he was planning on giving Ice. He swiveled around to gaze at the sights of space but all he saw was a gooey pink substance covering the window.

Recognizing it immediately he bellowed, “IIIIICCCCEEEEE!!!!”

Seconds later Ice burst into the room, cringing slightly at the look Stuart was giving him. He noticed the lieutenant commander badge Stuart was holding and smiled.

“Ice,” Stuart cooed, “I was hoping to see a glimpse of that special anomaly, but do you know what I see?”

Ice gulped.

Stuart didn’t wait for Ice to answer. “SPAM! All I see is the icky coating of nutritional spam you unleashed on the Challenge.”

Ice cowered as Stuart got up and continued, “I WAS going to promote you, but now you’re going to have to do something first. I want that spam cleaned up, no… eaten!”

Stuart opened his desk drawer and pulled out a mighty spork. “Ice, you will not be getting your promotion until after you eat every bit of spam infesting this ship, and you can start with the spam covering my window.”

“But…. But..” Ice stammered.

“No buts! Get on it now.”

Ice meekly took the spork from Stuart and pushed it into the meat-like substance covering the window. Stuart sat down in his chair. As he brought the first chunk close to his mouth he cringed, glanced over at the shiny badge Stuart was toying with, and took the first of many mouthfuls.

Stuart smiled evilly.

For Fritz:

Promotion Story XXXXV: By LC Stuart

“He did what?!” Stuart screamed at Beef.

“He… Jaeger… ate the captain badge you told me to give to Fritz.”

Beef winced as Stuart’s eyes got wider. “But Stuart, look on the bright side, as a promotion prank we can get Fritz to ‘recover’ his badge when Jaeger…” Beef paused for the effect, “passes it.”

Stuart’s outrage quickly turned to a devious smile. “I will inform him of his new task.” Stuart said as he left the room.

---

Fritz was waiting patiently in the abandoned dormitory for Stuart to arrive. “I wonder what this is about.” He thought to himself.

Stuart finally arrived with a sick looking Jaeger trailing behind.

“Fritz, I have some good news and some bad news.”

Fritz winced, “What is it?”

”Well, the bad news is that Jaeger got into Beef’s desk again, the good news…”

“Why’s that the bad news?” Fritz interrupted.

“Because,” Stuart sighed, “he ate up all of the squadron’s milk chocolate.”

“Oh.” Fritz frowned.

“As I was saying, the good news is he ate your new captain badge.”

“He what?!” Fritz jumped up. “How is that good news??”

“Because,” Stuart did his best to keep a straight face, “you have to wait here with him until he passes it, and I don’t think he’s going to be very happy with you.”

“Why wouldn’t he be?” Fritz questioned.

“Well, seeing as it is YOUR badge, and it isn’t going to be easy to…” Stuart paused (once again for the effect) “get out.”

Stuart backed out of the room and snickered.

“But…” Fritz ran at the door and got to it just as the lock clicked.

He turned around and gazed at Jaeger. Jaeger returned his gaze, a bit of strain showing on his face…

For Alexi:

Promotion Story XXXVI: By LC Stuart

“As you know Alexi our cook is sick.”

“Yes,” Alexi grumbled, “and it is my turn to cook again isn’t it?”

“That’s right Alexi, but since we have a special event coming up, we need you to bake a two meter tall cake.”

Alexi groaned, “Can’t we just get one of the new recruits to do it?”

“Well, one of them will be helping, in their own way. Now get cracking on that cake!”

Alexi stomped off to the kitchen and started making the batter.

“He didn’t even have the decency of telling me what the event is, I won’t even know the appropriate color scheme of icing to use.”

Alexi continued to make the cake, layer after layer. After awhile he realized no one had come to help him. “It figures,” he grumbled, “they are probably all partying already.”

---

Stuart arrived twelve hours later, just as Alexi was putting the finishing touches on the cake. “Well done.” Stuart commented.

“Now can I go?” Alexi questioned.

“Of course, go get your party dress on.”

Stuart winked.

After Alexi left a few more Thunderinians darted into the room and started to devour the center of the cake.

“Good. Now, is everyone in their places?” Stuart asked.

A slightly muffled “yes” resounded around the room.

“Excellent.”

---

The party went well, although Alexi was too tired to notice the lack of presence of a certain somebody. Finally, when the cake was about to be served, Alexi asked Stuart, “Why are we celebrating?”

Stuart smiled smugly and remained silent. Alexi scowled as the cake was rolled up in front of him. The lights dimmed and a spot light appeared on the cake. The crew of the Challenge started cheering. Suddenly the top of the cake flew off, and Azurin emerged wearing a very suggestive dress and holding a Captain badge with her teeth.

Alexi’s jaw hit the table; the girl he had been crushing over for weeks was giving him his badge. Stuart jabbed him in the ribs with his elbow, winked, and said, “Alexi, you sly old dog.”

For Azurin:

Promotion Story XXXX: By LC Stuart

“So, I hear you are a ship builder sub-lieutenant Azurin.” Stuart said while peering over a file in his hand.

“Yes sir.” Azurin meekly answered.

“Well then,” Stuart folded his hands and put them on the desk, “I am in need of a new fighter.”

“Uhh, sir, are you author…”

“Sublieutenant Azurin, did I ask you to speak?”

“No, sir.”

“Good,” Stuart settled back into his chair and slid the file to Azurin, “do you see that brown box over there?”

“Yes, sir.” Azurin answered.

“That contains all the materials you will need, the folder contains the specifications.”

“Thank you sir.”

“Alright,” Stuart cracked his knuckles, “now get to work.”

Azurin had a very perplexed look on her face as she gathered the small box and carried it to her workbench in the converted girls dormitory.

Inside the folder was a piece of paper with the specifications.

- must be able to accelerate at approximately 9.81 meters per second squared
- must be colorful
- must be completed using on the parts provided

Azurin scratched her head, perhaps her commander did have a few sprockets loose between his ears.

Opening up the small box she noticed some super glue, a plate of light metal, two red squares and two blues squares.

Spreading the materials over the table she started raking her hair in frustration. She tried to remember everything she had learned at the academy, but nothing helped.

Eventually she fell asleep on the pieces.

---

Stuart walked in a few weeks later and saw Azurin sitting in the corner rocking back and forth.

“Umm, Azurin?”

Perplexed, he looked on the workbench and saw a very miniature floating Imperial Star Destroyer. His eyes opened in amazement.

“Congratulations Azurin, but I was hoping you would just make one of these.” He chucked a new Lieutenant badge beside her, “We were all out a few weeks ago.”

Stuart picked up the tiny Star Destroyer and left the room, prodding and playing with it.

Azurin looked at the blue and red badge lying at her feet, blinked, and let out a shrill scream.

For Ryuu:

Promotion Story XXXVIV: By LC Stuart

Beef scratched his head, “I don’t know why, Stuart, but I just can’t stop scratching.”

Stuart shook his head violently, “It’s like there’s something crawling around on my scalp.”

A furry figure darted across the far side of the hanger.

“What was that?” Beef asked.

“I’m not su… GAH! This itching is driving me crazy!”

Stuart started clawing at his head.

Beef noticed a few small dots jumping on Stuart’s head and he suddenly realized what had happened.

“Stuart. Do you remember that crate we received from Endor the other day? I think there was a flea-ridden stowaway on it.”

“Maybe so,” Stuart answered, “but this isn’t stopping the itching! I’m going to go get some of those new sub-lieutenants to do some pest control; you try and find the stowaway.”

While Stuart jogged off to find the new exterminators, Beef started scanning the cargo bay for the stowaway. He didn’t find anything during his first scan, so he started walking around.

“Here kitty kitty kitty.” He cooed. “Where arrrreee you?”

Another bad itch hit him, just out of reach of his cyborg arm, so he felt around in his pocket for something to extend his reach. All he could find was an old lieutenant badge he retrieved from a recently promoted member.

Shrugging, he reached over his shoulder and started scratching his itch. Out of nowhere a piercing “Aieeeee!” echoed through the hanger as an ewok swung from a nearby cord hanging from a docked TIE Defender and snatched the lieutenant badge from Beef’s hand.

“Hey!” Beef exclaimed.

“Haha! Now that Ryuu have badge Ryuu is pilot.”

Ryuu did a little dance on top of the TIE Defender.

Beef sighed, “Well you are skipping a rank, but Thunder could really use some pilots. I guess this technicality will overcome our racist enlistment policies. Welcome to Thunder my furry little friend.”

Ryuu danced.
