And then thar was t' Scion. Ahoy! I put a CTI G125 in it. Aye aye! 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. I pointed t' rail into t' wind that had been blowin' rockets across t' flight line…
… and it came nowhere near t' flight line. Aye aye! In fact it came down way away. Arrr! 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.
