I call bullshit on the "missclick" part. In order to request embassies, you had to go to our regions main page. After going to our regions main page, you either had to scroll down and purposefully click "request embassies with 10000 Islands" or go to our admin page and scroll all the way down to the request embassies part. There is no way to request embassies by "missclicking". Please refrain from doing it again, and thank you for apologizing.

The Black Hawks were out of options. They had looked in every nook and cranny, and under every rock for their beloved robot friend. And in each spot, they came up empty handed each time. Finally out of options, the Hawks went to the sacred branch of the raider deities for help. They were commanded to sprinkle flowers throughout the various regions in order to bring her back. And through harsh wind and rain, they did... whether it works will remain to be seen.

Two of The Black Hawks' Sergeants had a problem. They were birds, but they could not fly! To soar high above the clouds and look down at all the regions below them was always their greatest dream. Unfortunately, their evolutionary oversight prevented this, their greatest goal. However, the Goose and the Penguin were not so easily defeated! They decided that together, they would undertake the herculean task of learning to fly. Their first move was to consult some of their bestest friends, the first being Drexlore, who knew a lot about stealth but not a lot about flight.

"Well, what you've got to do is sneak up on one of your flight-capable birds, snatch them in between your unfortunately designed flipper-wings, then command it to fly you wherever you want to go. For the sneaking I would recommend a cardboard box. Once that thing gets moving nobody can tell, you're basically invisible."


With this new task in mind, the Goose and the Penguin set out upon finding the sturdiest box south of the Pacifics. After this was done, The Goose-Penguin combo waddled under the safety of the box and charted their course for the nearest eagle. Unfortunately, the eagle's keen eye noticed the box moving immediately and flew away unscathed.

Image

After this failure, the Penguin and the Goose sought the sage counsel of their favorite birthday pineapple, Dax (Pterodaxtyl).

"Obviously, the answer is a super-concoction I call "Liquid Dog"™ . You wanna take the hot dog (the hotter, the better) and throw it in your most capable blender along with pineapple juice and a slice of birthday cake. When you start blending, do not be alarmed if it sounds like the screeches of a Mad King. Once you drink this, I'm sure it'll give you the energy to sprout wings and fly into the sunset."


The Penguin and the Goose searched around their pantry for these peculiar ingredients. The Hot Dog was expired, but the blender would understand, they thought. After thoroughly liquifying these ingredients, they plugged their nose and drank this nasty concoction until there was nothing left. Unfortunately, the only thing the Liquid Dog™ gave them was food poisoning.

Image

After a couple of days of recovery, they turned to their last hope, their newly-promoted friend, Aquila (Aquilanion).

"I think you're missing the underlying point that causes you to not be able to fly. We're meant to share all our wings together. You see, when avians evolved, the more flightful birds took all the-
10 minutes later...
Seize the means of aviation! You need to go to the alpha pigeon and demand he redistributes flight among all avians."



Bolstered by the incredible diction of Aquila, the Goose and the Penguin marched to the most alpha pigeon they could find, and the Goose spread his wings wide while the Penguin pleaded their case. The alpha pigeon, engorged by superfluous bread consumption, was not very concerned with the needs of the 99% of flightless birds and sent them back to the parks and icebergs from whence they came.
Image


Thrice defeated, they returned to their homes, believing they would never achieve flight. All of their closest comrades, who had supported them along this journey, seeing their plight, decided to take the matter into their own hands and gathered up all the members of The Black Hawks (who were filled with flight-capable avians) to assist their grounded friends.

Over 16 members of The Black Hawks showed up at the Sergeants' Igloo-Park to help. Before either of them could say anything, long-time flyer Dakota (Miss Bad Life Choices) spoke up:

"When Dax, Aquila, and Drex told us about your problem, we couldn't wait to come here and help all of you! No member of TBH should be restricted to the boring dirt and water of the surface. All of us are here for you, no matter what's happening. Now, where should we start?

Refuge (Refuge Isle) constructed a metal pair of wings for both of them, while Steak (Bjourn) hooked up the electronics that flapped them. Red Back schooled them in the art of using this new technology while Varax (Varax Zwei) told them stories of what they would see soaring high above the clouds. Sakana brushed their feathers so they wouldn't get in the way as Vampierall (Thyroton) fetched spare parts. Miravana, Waste (Steste), and Martian Hunter constructed a grand runway so that they may start their journey.

All this complete, the Penguin and the Goose set out with their mechanical wings trained and brushed about the runway. As they reached the edge, their flippers left the ground and for the first time in their life they were truly free. Their comrades waved below them as they flew out into the great blue sky, and the entire collective thought, for the first time in a while, perhaps everything was going to be okay.


To celebrate, the Penguin and the Goose, along with their Hawky friends, decided to fly out to a whole bunch of regions to tell everyone of their great sucess. In this 2.5 hour-long flight, 61 regions were landed upon.
