S.W.A.T. + P.A.C.K.S. = Success!

One of the regional security and law enforcement bureaus (I believe humans call it a police department) had organized a Team Tag competition with a local education facility this past Tuesday evening, and had sent over their elite tactical unit to represent them (S.W.A.T., or Special Weapons And Tactics). Since recon and familiarization are key elements to success in any type of tactical endeavour, the S.W.A.T. Team got in some Team Tag exercises prior to their official competition. To say that these transportation units had a completely different way of preparing and executing a Team Tag exercise compared to our usual transportation units would be a huge understatement, and I know Blade and Quazar both enjoyed the strict planning and tactical maneuvers the S.W.A.T. team brought to the sessions.

Later on in the evening, when it came to Team Tag time with 5 other teams from the education facility (school), the S.W.A.T. Team found out very quickly it was not 6 Teams against each other, but 5 Teams against S.W.A.T.! Needless to say the first Team Tag competition was not very successful for the S.W.A.T. Team (they placed 5th out of 6 Teams). However, after a serious tactical planning session (and one where this P.A.C.K.S. learned a thing or two about teamwork. Thank you S.W.A.T.!), the second Team Tag competition was won by the S.W.A.T. Team by a large margin of Tag points! At the end of the evening, the S.W.A.T. Team and the various school Teams agreed that the event was a enjoyable success for all transportation units (sorry, humans) involved, and there was talk of a possible rematch in the future. I for one would trade some silica to view that event!

Wazee, and all of the P.A.C.K.S. of Wazee's World would like to thank the city of Peoria S.W.A.T. for participating in this event, and we extend an invitation to them to return at any time.

One last item: during the S.W.A.T. Team's last practice session, myself and my regular transportation unit made an unannounced entry into the session. The S.W.A.T. Team was divided into 2 Teams: a 6 unit Blue Team, and an 8 unit Red Team. Since I was the only Green Team participant, on a strict Team scoring basis I was a distant third. But, looking at the scores from an individual standpoint, I was merciless in my deactivations to any P.A.C.K.S. that was not Green (mainly, all!). I do have photographic evidence of my domination, and it is posted above, along with a S.W.A.T. Team photograph outside of Wazee's World.
