2020 Halloween Avatar Contest: SB118 Ops check-in

[Jordan aka FltAdmlWolf]

For a member of the crew to be considered part of the team, they have to change their avatar here on the forums and check in to this thread. 

For your check-in to count, you must include a funny quote, quip, or greeting (i.e.- "Trick or treat!") that matches your character or theme!

Here are some important reminders: 

• Please keep any other extraneous posts out of this thread as it will be used to count the ship's participants.
• The second post in the check-in thread must an announcement of the ship's theme.
• Participants must be checked-in to this thread by Sunday, October 25 at 11:59pm Pacific Time. Avatars must remain in their costumed forms until at least Saturday, October 31 at 11:59pm Pacific Time.
• The more people you have checked-in, the higher your overall score.
• Players can only check in ONCE per contest. So if you're playing two characters on two different ships, you have to decide which ship you want to participate with! (Your participation will not count against your second ship. We'll discount the other ship's roster to account for your participation on this ship.)
• If you have crew members who cannot access the forum due to accessibility issues, the CO must notify FltAdml. Wolf directly via email.

Marine Division check in! Oohrah!

Meeks' quote: "I don't have to be faster than the bear that's chasing me... I only have to be faster than you. If that doesn't work, I'll just shoot you in the leg."

Be dangerous, darling, for the whole world rises and falls at our feet.

"I knew the dame was trouble the minute she walked through my door.  She had a voice like an angel and a body like the devil, and I know which one I was paying more attention to.   She was the kind of woman who’d hum you a lullaby after stabbing you in the back and I knew if I let my guard down, she’d be singing at my funeral."
