Prometheus Squadron Blasts Round 3 in the 2014/15 Long Duration Mission
It was a busy week for our LDM cadets and volunteers. The Prometheus Squad flew their Round 3 mission Thursday evening. The Kraken Squad flew theirs Saturday morning. Today's Troubadour highlights the Prometheus Squadron.
The Prometheus Squad Rocks the House!
Prometheus Squad squared off against our award winning control room team Thursday evening in a battle of wits and strategy. No one said Round Three of this year's LDM would be easy. Prometheus learned that the hard way.
James L., was the designated captain for this Round. He had good command of the bridge and the ear of his crew. Here they're seen reviewing their stations before James issued the "Let's Go!" command to start the Round.
A great deal of time was spent in red light. Red Alerts are the norm for Round 3. Its just one thing after another as each of our squadrons do their best to keep the Romulans from crossing that "line in the sand" and penetrating deeper into Federation space.
It appears Harrison found and captured a few undesirables inside the ship. He thoroughly interrogated them, leaving no stone unturned in his quest for the truth.
Captain James accidentally (and at the same time unwittingly heroic) found himself at the wrong place at the wrong time. His body shielded a fellow crewman from a Romulan phaser blast. He took the blast. His temporary loss could have doomed the Prometheus Squad had it not been for the quick thinking of First Officer Andrew in assuming command, and the unflinching steel of the squadron.
Magellan Medic Emily Paxman was summoned to treat the captain. With her bag of potions and charms, she quickly revived the captain and put him back to work (although his ability to speak was compromised for a short time - an aftereffect of her herbal magic I'm told).
The crew carried on despite a few setbacks.
The final cheer at the end of the debriefing was in my honor. I think it was Prometheus Coach Bradyn Lystrup's idea. Perhaps his failed attempt to 'suck up' to get a better score. Regardless of the coach's intent, the squad gave it up in true Prometheus style.
Yes, they rocked the house with their final cheer, and another squad puts Round Three to rest.

Disney Puts a Starship Simulator on their Cruise Ship Dream!
From Disney's Park Blog
Just announced today, we’re bringing exciting new experiences to the Disney Dream when we transform spaces throughout the ship this fall! Headlining the enhancements are two new interactive youth areas, one themed to Star Wars and another to Disney Infinity. We’re also adding a whimsical sweet shop serving handmade gelato and the ever-popular Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. Here’s a look at the new spaces and the fun in store for Disney Dream cruisers …
Star Wars: Millennium Falcon
In Disney’s Oceaneer Club, kids are in for an out-of-this-galaxy experience in a newly themed play, Star Wars: Millennium Falcon, inspired by the spacecraft from the legendary saga.
Upon entering the spaceship, younglings will join the Rebel Alliance in the epic battle of good versus evil by assisting with the navigation of this powerful space vehicle. Sitting in the cockpit, children can pilot this super-cool spaceship through hyperspace and trigger lightspeed jumps to different locations around the galaxy.
We’ll also offer Star Wars-themed crafts, games and activities in this space. Plus, kids can watch episodes from the new Disney XD animated series, “Star Wars Rebels,” on a large screen or virtually join the rebellion at gaming stations featuring the series’ action-packed adventures.
The excitement continues during a shipboard version of the popular Jedi Training Academy experience that invites young Jedi hopefuls – known as “Padawans” – to learn lightsaber moves from a Jedi Master. They can then use the Force and face off in a final test against the evil Darth Vader.
