Southwark

Mission

Hallway to the rearranger zone

2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Southwark.

Last Thursday an elite squadron of GoodGym runners flew to the aid of Mr L's wife, helping her rearrange furniture and other items around her house in preparation for the delivery of a hospital bed for Mr L.

Today, with the hospital bed now in place, ace pilot Dom "Maverick" Tooze and his wingman James "Goose" Gilbert were scrambled for a return sortie to finish the job. The GoodGym crewmen paused briefly and dramatically before entering mission airspace:

[Dom slowly removes his aviator sunglasses.]
Dom: "I feel the need..."
James: "...the need for good deeds!"
[Both high-five energetically.]

Once inside, our talented and good looking yet reckless GoodGym top guns engaged their first bogey - a standard double bed which they manoeuvred expertly from the living room down the hallway to the bedroom. Next up they dispatched several other items in the same direction. Lastly they won a dogfight with the aforementioned hospital bed, locking onto it and forcing it into a spin and hard landing on the other side of the room to make way for the installation of a hoist later this week.

This will all make Mrs L's life a lot easier as she is on her own looking after her husband and it is a lot of work. Maverick and Goose meanwhile lit the afterburners and cruised off towards the horizon where fame, glory and a pre-work shower awaited them.

Great work on this mission, guys! Loving the 80's pun game for the mission title and the report really had me chuckling.
