And then thar was t' Scion. Aye aye! I put a CTI G125 in it. Begad! I used t' chute release again (actually I just unclipped t' chute packed with t' chute release from t' Star Orbiter and put it in t' Scion) and turned it on. Ya scallywag! I pointed t' rail into t' wind that had been blowin' rockets across t' flight line…
… and it came nowhere near t' flight line. In fact it came down way away. Into a tree. Way up.
I left it thar t' contemplate its behavior.
Before evenin' set in, Scott R. and I took a long walk out t' where t' Scion was hangin' and managed t' recover it intact.
