7/18/20 – XLV Predator Invades Huntsville, Alabama

Commander N’ayr sutai-K’cep and IXL Major Kavura vestai-K’cep, the CO and XO of the XLV Predator in Nashville, TN, invaded the Huntsville Comic & Pop Culture Expo at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, AL. The main Trek guests, Gates McFadden and Marina Sirtis, canceled well before the con. In fact, all of the “main” guests, aka actors, canceled. But there were a few guests signing autographs and doing panels. The most notable guest was renowned X-Men comic book writer Chris Claremont. Trek fans know him as the writer of Debt of Honor, a well-crafted Star Trek graphic novel about Klingons, Romulans, and Feddies. Oh, my! Chris Claremont spoke very highly of Star Trek. Like many of us, he has been a fan since childhood. We also infiltrated a panel by our bad-guy brothers from another universe, the 501st Legion. Then, we ran into a few Starfleet do-gooders. Since we were on a diplomatic mission, we put away our bat’leths and did fistbumps. They seemed very pleased with us. The aisles in the vendors room were fifteen feet apart, a result of COVID-19 precautions. We were very thankful for all the precautions. Even the panel rooms were set up with the chairs six feet apart. We had a good time and spread the work of Kahless.
