Max.Mission #2: Green Space

Max started his first W.A.L.K. (Working Ankles Legs and Knees) training on green lumpy bumpy terrain. Since it was his first time and it was at difficulty level 5, Dad, the biggest of the team members gave him some assistance. He obviously enjoyed the challenge, but could not have done it on his own. This was actually Big Bro's mission: to send sustenance to red scaley swimmers in the circular H2O crater on this Green space. His mission was called "A Walk in the Park". Mother Bird, Dad and Max had come along because we wanted to observe Big Bro on his course. Of course we were also there as an exercise.

All went smoothly as far as the mission was concern. As usual, after all the duty done, we explored a little more to enrich our encounter in the new terrain. Big Bro set off in hyper-drive, so Dad had to zoom off after him. Max had hitched on to Mother Bird so that he could move faster to try to catch up with the other two team members. Max released squeals of excitement to warn all moving objects that he was headed that way. Mother Bird, as usual, being overly concern about showing Max some observations, i.e. winged and beaked creatures, H.U.M.A.N. on 2 wheels, etc., failed to notice danger ahead. It was M.U.D (Materials of Unstable Dirt) in the path. Mother Bird slipped, did a balancing act, and Max suddenly found himself in lower altitude but still upright. Mother Bird managed to regain control without anything more that a scratch on her K.N.E.E ("Kalsium" Needed to Engage with Ease) and a slight bruise on her ego as an alien actually witnessed the whole incident and laughed. Max sustained no injuries at all.


Back at home base, Big Bro and Max took turn prodding at the scratch, laughing as Mother Bird jerked back and gasp "Ooch!" each time. After some laughs, Big Bro did show some mature response, though: It's OK, Mummy. I Love you. That fixed all the damages on Mother Bird, including the ego.
