Last evening featured a Gala Dinner. Gorse Fox was seated at a table with a diverse bunch of colleagues that he had not previously met. However, over the years he has learnt that most of the folk in Starfleet a nice individuals, and ths again proved to be the case.
Each table was handed an envelope with a common challenge. Out of the envelope's content, each table had to create a self propelled device that would carry a "damsel in distress" across an 8 foot paddling pool. The components that were available included card, foil, a handkerchief, balloons, corks, straws, lolly sticks, and paper clips. Being who we are, this became a very competetive challenge, with industrial espionage, prototypes tried out in the gents toilets, and general inventive chaos.
The exercise was great fun, but GF regrets to admit that his team did not win.
