Magellan Laughs

I thought this deserved to be re-posted from the Troubadour.

Hello Everyone,
The Magellan staff record the funnier things crews say on their missions. I thought I would let everyone in on some of the fun. Keep in

mind, this isn't everything; the grammar is theirs, not mine; and some have been... edited... to suit the district and protect young

minds, so if it doesn't seem THAT funny, I promise it was the funniest
thing I've ever heard at that place, and possibly anywhere because of the context.
DISCLAIMER: IT'S REALLY LONG! BUT REALLY FUNNY. YOU DECIDE IF IT'S WORTH IT. I WARNED YOU!
One child on a mission seemed to have had a very good sense of smell. These were a couple of things he said:
"I can smell the radiation!"
"I know that smell! That's the smell I smelt before the intruder. Another one's coming on!"
We got several interesting messages through the
computers. Here are some examples.
MESSAGE FROM COUNTERINTELLIGENCE: "That means all of you are fired!!!!!
MESSAGE FROM OPERATIONS: "slim devil has been caught. I REPEAT THE SLIM DEVIL HAS BEEN CAUGHT"
MESSAGE FROM ENGINEER: "I am scared. Something in all black just came on and tried to kill us! But we are all ok."
AFTER FINDING OUT THE DAMAGE TEAM WASN'T QUITE DONE:
"Thanks! Just work as fast as you'd like
to breathe."
MESSAGE FROM COMMUNICATIONS: "Some people think things are forming and some think they are blowing up. And things are

just getting strange!"
MESSAGE FROM STRAGETIC OPERATIONS: "Some aliens might come and kill you! Leave Until power and red alert are off Then

return to your stations!"
MESSAGE FROM SURVEILLANCE: "Creatures are about to attack the bridge! HOLD ME!!!!!!!"
Some of our campers had very different opinions about how to deal with the creature that had gotten loose. These are a couple of the

suggested ways:
SLIME DEVIL ANNOUNCED MOVING TO THE BRIDGE: ADMIRAL
"Alright, everyone back here! Everyone get back behind the desk!"
WHEN LOOKING FOR THE SLIME DEVIL: "Can we go up there and look? (POINTING AT THE CEILING!)
CREATURE ATTACKS: "It's a monkey!" "Die, die you stupid alien monkey!"
ADVICE FROM THE ADMIRAL: "Hit it in the butt!"
CREATURE GOT SUCKED INTO SPACE "Let's hope that creature doesn't come flying at the windshield and go *splat noise*"
INTRUDERS ARE COMING "Alright, if anything comes up here, everyone fire on it, not just one person."
(Security) "What, all two of us?"
CAPTAIN IS TRYING TO KEEP HER CREW CALM "Stay calm my butt!"
We had some very confused crews througout the summer. Here's some proof.
KLINGONS ASK IF THEY SURRENDER. (Lone child) "We surrender!"
(All in unison) " NNNOOOOO!!!"
FINAL BATTLE ENDED: (Kids) "We're dead!"
(Captain) "No we're not! They're running away!" ... "We're alive!"
LOOKING AT THE ANOMALY "What is it?" "It's a space center!"
"HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON THE THX?" "Yes. Well, no. "THAT
SOUNDS OMINOUS. WHICH IS IT, YES OR NO?"
"Yes! Well, actually..."
AFTER WATCHING A SHUTTLE GET DESTROYED
"Wahoo!!... Oh wait, is that a bad thing?"
CARGO SHIP EXPLODES "Hurray!" (Captain) "No, you guys. Exploding things is a bad thing."
THE ACTOR WAS TRYING TO FIND ADMIRAL SHULER.
"Are you sure you're on the right ship?"
"I'm his grandson!"
" Where's his desk?"
"How do you know he didn't just have plastic surgery?"
"IN THE LAST 15 MINUTES?"
"There's time!"
EXPLOSIONS AS MAGGIE GETS SUCKED THROUGH THE ANOMALY
"What was that?"
" That was radiation and graviton and stuff."
"ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE ALRIGHT?"
"Yeah, well, we're 99% sure."
"WHERE'S THE ALTERNATE MAGELLAN?"
"They're in a different time zone."
Our Admirals had some very different ways to deal with our doctor (played by yours truly) in Invasion. (Just in case you don't know, a

ship explodes, and I like to play it up and say my new husband or fiancee or someone of that sort was onboard.)
ADMIRAL NUMBER THE FIRST: "Alright, everyone, give the doctor your full sympathy. Her husband just died."
"Hey, you're good with women. Go cheer up the depressed doctor."
ADMIRAL THE WORSE: "The doctor needs to put her love life on hold... It's not a priority."
"No Doctor, stay down there. Here's a chair for you." (I stayed at the bottom the
whole mission through 2 phaser fights and a creature mauling."
Wanna hear some of what they said about their jobs?
DAMAGE CONTROL IS FEELING OVERWHELMED. "My day's been hard enough already!"
WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS ONE CAME FROM.
"What's going on? This thing's blinking."
"That thing's always blinking!"
DAMAGE IS LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT "I know how to do it. I've been damage control before." *DC SHOOTS A LOOK*
"Yeah, but I'm looking for someone more like me. More like me, and less like you."
WHILE TRYING TO KEEP A CREATURE DOWN: "Woo hoo hoo! I like my job!"
And, finally, some random ones that I didn't know how to group together.
"WE ARE READY TO BEING THE ATTACK WHEN WE GET THERE."
"Why does everyone want to blow up the planet?"
"60 SECONDS OF OXYGEN REMAINING" (Whole crew)
"59, 58, 57..."
"INCOMING ORION FLEET." "I never thought I'd be so happy to see the Orions!"
"CO2 SCRUBBERS ARE OFFLINE" (Damage control)
"Why are the CO2 scrubbers down?"
(Admiral) "Because such is life."
"RANGER IS NOT DOCKED." (Surveillance) "Can we scan if we're still in the docking port?"
(Admiral)
"We ARE the docking port."
"IN THIS UNIVERSE, HUMANS ARE CONQUERING EVERYTHING."
"Woot!"
END OF MISSION "You stupid reality! You suck reality!"
AFTER DEATH TIME WAS ANNOUNCED. (Captain) "No,
we're not dancing! Oh, fine, you can dance if you want. I don't care." (The crew then proceeded to sing and sway along with "Small World")

ANOTHER CREW'S DEATH TIME, SAME SONG. (Captain)
"Why are you doing this to us?!?"
TEN MINUTES OF OXYGEN REMAINING "Everyone breathe deep for the last ten minutes of your life!"
CREATURE ATTACK JUST ENDED. "How come creatures wear Nikes? I thought they'd have webed feet or something."
And finally, to top it all off, some staff quotes.
EMILY TO MEGAN (ON THE BRIDGE) "Hi Morgan! Oh wait, I'm Morgan."
SCREAMS COME FROM THE BRIDGE AS EVERYONE'S FAVORITE BOSS COMES TO VISIT. HE SAYS "Is that from the

Magellan?
MORE SCREAMS. "Looks like Magellans coming back!"
Whew! Finished! And those were only the highlights of the highlights! If you made it through all of those and find yourself wanting

more, feel free to come EARLY to a Magellan mission and ask a supervisor. I think the others know where they are. If not,
they're... challenged. By the way, if you didn't figure out which quote is the funniest thing EVER heard at the Space Center, I'm sorry.

I'm not gonna tell you which one it is. You're just out of luck. How much longer should I keep going with this? I think I'm done.
Congrats if you made it this far!
-Megan
Flight Director/Supervisor

Message from Communications:

The Story of the Burning Transwarp Drive Plug

    For any of you that know the Magellan mission Guardians, you probably are familiar with the 'transwarp coil' that is really just a big wooden tube and base with aqua tube lights around it.
    Well, one day, I was on an Odyssey flight just hanging around while the crew was briefing.  The Magellan was doing a 5-hour mission, Guardians, and were getting ready to do their Transwarp away mission.
    Connor, dressed as the Guardian, saw me hanging around and recruited me to come and pull the plug on the Transwarp Coil.  We didn't know exactly when the crew was coming so we turned on the Transwarp Coil and turned off the lights, so we could be ready if the crew came.
    After about 4 minutes or so I started to smell something.  It was a marshmallow-roasting sort of smell, but I just ignored it for the moment, supposing that the smell was coming from someone eating something or just one of those random scents that filters in from outside that you can't get rid of.   Then Connor asked me if I smelled something.  I said yes, and that I'd been smelling it for a few minutes now.  He stated that it smelled like something burning.   We then tried smelling in different directions around us, trying to find exactly where the scent was coming from.  Suddenly I realized that the plug to the Transwarp Coil I was holding was starting to get hot in my hands, hot enough that it hurt.  So, I bent down to smell the plug and the smell was definitely coming from it.  I told Connor in a bit of alarm that the smell was coming from the plug.  He rushed to turn on the lights and sure enough, there was a coil of smoke coming out of where the plug was connected and up into the air like a snake.  Connor and I stood in a state of shock for a moment.  We didn't know when the kids would be coming so Connor turned off the lights and ran to get Nicole.  Before he left he told me to disconnect the plug.  It was hard because he turned off the lights and the plug was so hot.  I finally found the plug.  I had to pull so hard to get them disconnected.  My hands hurt so bad after I had disconnected them.  I turned on the light and looked at them.  They were all red.
    Connor shortly arrived with Nicole and then Alex had to come and look at it.  Apparently some rubber from the portable outlet it was plugged into had melted on to the Transwarp Coil plug from us leaving it in for so long on so many away missions.  That explained why it was so hard to pull out.
    Everything ended happy.  Now we use the outlet in the wall instead of the portable one. The Odyssey crew finished briefing and my hands hurt the rest of the day.   The End.
 

Yet Another Issue of Replacement on a Space Center Saturday

    Today there was yet again another problem at the CMSEC.  Last Saturday the problem was that Adam H. was assigned to fly the Odyssey at 11:00.  But by 11:15 he still hadn't showed up and we couldn't keep the crew waiting any longer.  No one could contact Devin, and Christine was at iWorlds.  It turned out that Brittney had to fly the Odyssey and someone else would replace her spot of supervising on the Magellan.
    This Saturday, Mr. Daymont was assigned to fly the Magellan, but he had other things to do, so Brittney would fly and we would call in another supervisor.  Well, Brittney wasn't feeling good, and Zac was doing some other project, so Nicole, who was supervising, did some of the FD stuff for her, like briefing and loading.  Then Brittney really felt awful by the end of that flight, so she was able to contact Zac and get him to come in and fly that next flight for her. Yes, it was another replacement Saturday at the CMSEC.

How to make the Guardian Bomb Away Mission Look Cool

Some of my tips to make this away mission look cool.   Just be safe though!

» put lights in good places such as: on the white counter, on the chair stacks, behind the white counter, under the projector screen
» some not so great places to put lights: behind the bridge door, by the trophies, by the trash bin
» get camo nets from the Galileo
» put black covers over everything!
» if it's an adult crew or trekkie crew, make sure you put a black cover over the Starfleet logo on the front of the white counter
» try and make your setup like a maze to get to the bomb
» if you have smaller kids make a tunnel out of a table and chair stacks (I say smaller because you don't want older kids hitting their heads)
» make sure you have the fish tanks on red alert and the projector on red alert
» you can put random items around to fool them into thinking they are the bomb
» don't just line the chairs up in a row. I know we have to be safe but there are some safe but cool ways to put chairs
» you should probably put black covers over the trash bins, but you don't have to
» Feel free to throw Romulan shirts or camo from the costume closet over stuff (just don't hang Romulan shirts on the whiteboard)
» you should block one of the ways to get behind the white counter, preferably the small one
» have music playing, preferably Protectors Of The Earth
» as far as the crew know, you just trashed this room.  Make it look like it's been trashed.
» you know that once this bomb explodes it will blow you up too. Make the room look a bit Romulanish because it's your last honor to the empire.


If any of you have anything you would like to add, feel free to comment.  Remember this refers specifically to the mission Guardians on the Magellan.

Space Center Story - Emily and the Door

I was volunteering an Odyssey mission that Emily Perry (now Paxman) was flying. I don't know If any of you remember Carrick, but he was the other volunteer. I was up on the bridge answering questions with Carrick.  He decided to leave, but as he left he positioned the black door right in front of the transporter.  Emily, who always seems to be in a rush where ever she goes, came rushing through the transporter and smacked her nose right into  the side of the door, startling the Tactical and Sensors officers. She could tell I wanted to just laugh out loud right then and there and was trying my best to hold it all in. She simply said to me, "You didn't just see that."  Then she left.
