And then thar was t' Scion. Ya scallywag! 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. Begad! 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. Begad! Way up.

I left it thar t' contemplate its behavior.

Before evenin' set in, Scott R. Blimey! and I took a long walk out t' where t' Scion be hangin' and managed t' recover it intact.
