The Expedition Team (Reactions) -- Quito Recruitment

The Deployment Platoon

Upon hearing of Captain Mo’s recent deployment, a long line of candidates enlisted to serve under her command. The recruiting process required in-depth interviews, physical fitness testing, and mental preparedness.

Finally, after many long days and nights, a squad was settled on.

It is with great honor, that The Expedition Team annouces the final cast of the Deployment Platoon.


Chicken
Her fearlessness and ability to assist in paratrooping duties are what made Chicken a prime candidate to fill this position.
She would like to clear up two misconceptions –
One: the usage of “chicken” as in chicken-shit; on the contrary, Chicken is a tough-chick.
Two: Chickens can’t fly. She would like to share photos of herself in flight to disprove this theory.





Slug
Was born in chocolate (Kinder Sorpresa).. which granted him instant qualification


In addition, he is an avid reader, known to carry a newspaper at all times. His up-to-the-moment knowledge of current events is priceless for the task. He can also read Chinese and speak Pashto and Dari.



Dog E.
A faithful and loyal companion who will always greet you with a wagging tail and a wet nose. Qualifications include a keen sense of smell for sniffing out landmines and people. But more importantly, having him around will ensure that despite a landscape of hardship, you can still have something to smile about.


He would like to send love to his puppies in the pound.


Sister Bears
Their sister status gave them priority picking. Being sisters, they are down for one another and because of this they can always be counted on. Their background includes hugging, searching for honey, and having each other’s backs.

They are advocates for hugs.

This is great. Life and humor is all around, even in fabric stuffed with cotton.

Jasmiiine.. :)
I got my first member of an expedition team while on tour. On of the artists touring with us- went to spain brought me back a bear.. his name is Pepe lours (my friend is french and we gave him the name together) Pepe looks very similar to the sister bears and loves to take naps on comfy hotel pillows :) He loves Barcelona and has a shirt that says so. He says Hi and wishes you luck!
