GCF Leadership 1999 Retreat at Toah Nipi


Episode 1

A long time ago, in a retreat camp far far away, a small band of rebels, desperately struggles with the mighty forces of the galactic empire, known only as MIT. Facing gloveboxes, silicon wafers, and the dreaded athena, the Rebellion calls a secret meeting to reorganize in the lush jungles of Toah Nipi.......

Using the powerful Frisbee device, the Rebellion seizes control of the several imperial transports. Almost immediately, the rebel leaders were set upon by the imperial traffic light, and the alliance was forced to scatter and regroup at a dark establishment on periphery of the planet Boston.
Optimism is high at the first meeting, as Ken dreams of a better place where he isn't the slave of the NMR and credit cards roam freely without fear of erasure. Upon arrival at Toah Nipi, the Alliance quickly considers the battle plans while Rami eats enough to feed entire planets. After many grueling hours, the Alliance heads to bed, confident that the mighty MIT can be taken with instructions from the Holy Bible.
The leaders of the Alliance are battle weary, and many do not make it for breakfast. Lunch, instead, becomes the first meal. All is not grim, as the ever light hearted sidekick, Ken, considers what it means to have two full pitchers of liquid and many dry people (such as Michelle) around.... Even as Ken schemes, Rami thinks only of yet another feast. Meanwhile, Michelle, the greatest pilot of the Alliance, keeps close tabs on the ever wily Ken.

Episode 2

Having eluded the Evil Emipire, MIT, and escaped to the jungles of Toah Nipi, the Alliance leadership now turns to the training of the body in preparation for the eventual return to planet Boston......

The Jedi master, Kevin, lectures the young initiates Rami and the wily Ken. Rami, who is not eating, for once, shows the victory spirit and the wily Ken plots his next move. The older Jedi then spoke out in support for the essential Jedi training, volleyball.
The volleyball training was difficult. As to be expected with all Jedi training. Grueling hours coupled with heat, sudden squalls, ferocious insects, and the relentless assaults of the Jedi master, Kevin. Hours later, Kevin congratulates both Rami and Joe, who completed the training in spite of grevious injuries. The hunger of the Alliance leaders soon surpasses even what a Jedi can stand. (Especially since Rami ate all the supplies.) And after much deliberation the leadership boarded their borrowed imperial vehicles and went in support of a small post that was resisting the onslaught of the imperial McDonalds.

Episode 3

Even as the Rebel leaders meet at the remote planet in the lush jungles of Toah Nipi, the MIT Empire still holds two key figures of the Rebellion captive in the labs of MIT Chemistry. Meanwhile, the Rebel leaders continue their planning...

The Jedi training (and Rami's snacking) has left the Alliance leaders famished. Dave tears hungrily into the ribs of a Toah Nipian raptor, while Bonnie, samples the local fauna. The older Jedi, Joe, sensing that young Rami may soon make a move on his burger, acts quickly.
Hours of deliberation tested even the most experienced Jedi, and conferences lasted until the next day. During the deliberations, in a bold move, the Jedi Yann, accompanied by the princess Margery, escaped the prisons of MIT Chemistry to join the vaunted leaders of the Alliance at Toah Nipi. After many more hours of deliberations, the Alliance leadership decided that they had spent enough time at Toah Nipi, and needed to leave before the MIT legions tracked them to Toah Nipi. However, before the leaders could leave, a distrubance in the force caused the crypto keys for one of the imperial cruisers to be lost in the sewers of Toah Nipi.
 
Fortunately though the engineering skills of Dave, and the brute strength of Steve and Tim, the sewers yielded their prize.
