Quirk always was one for the showy entrance. One of these days we'll quad
laser four neat holes through and through by accident, and then there'll be
hell to pay.

Always pleased to have a large slab of friendly weapons in near space. And
they won't be a nuclear power after our next get together. In fact, my plan
is to drive on and on until they think that banging the rocks together
constitutes high tech ;-)

Dunno if I can make it to Gosford at the moment, but the Menzies weapons
range and proving grounds sounds like a most excellent venue for late April.
Mmmm. More building time - gotta turn two imperial shuttles into something
considerably less shuttle-y and a lot more tear open your hull and peer into
the flaming wreck-y.
Sooo, does the trek moniker indicate a trek ship? Do tell - I have been
keen for years but not yet seen the pieces to even begin...
(And I would just llluuuuuuuuvvv to turn up over Melboring with a
Constitution Class Federation Starship, perhaps the Saucy Saratoga or something)
