Hi, these bees are babies! They’re not clumsy at all, this is what is called orientation flights. After birth and before beginning their careers as foragers (as all Honey bees cycle through all the jobs in the Hive throughout their lifespan), Honey bees take short flights back and forth, to and from the Hive, to orient themselves with their wings and their home so they can learn its location and how to get back home after foraging! Everyone has to learn, these are just smol little baby turkeys. Bees use the angle of the sun for location so adults have a better and more direct sense of location than any human
Decided to dream up my own expedition which wouldn’t work and is very Exile Biased but lbr the Exiles were the only ones that mattered in the end
Anyway! Roan Ranger Winterfest Special!:
The mission, or expedition, I think? Starts off with a Skeech and a Chua? for some reason poorly dressed up as santa and an elf, and theyre taking donations for toys and things to allegedly give to those in need (and also stealing shit on the side). Cue THE ONE AND ONLY ROAN RANGER to swiftly realize what's going on before chasing them out of town in an exciting yet VERY short cutscene as the two con artists pull some secret switch and mr cowBoy falls into conveniently placed hatch that drops us down into our spawn point, some eldan bunker or lab or whatever.
Cut to where we spawn in and the Roan Ranger's there to greet us like "oh you fell in too lol!" before giving us some exposition about whats going on as the quest text. We take it and DOWN BEGINS OUR DESCENT further into the lab.
At a certain point we start seeing Dommie spybots and other tech bits left behind that grow in number until we get to what looks like a huge warehouse operation with guards everywhere AND the stolen hoard of gifts. Like spanning the ENTIRE room theyve stolen so much shit.
In comes the gimmick, it turns into a sneak stealth mission and our heroes, (the players) get to pick 1 of 4 goofy and very tacky xmas themed disguises and theyre all impossible and ridiculous , idk use your imagination. So basically we're running around shapeshifted as decor items. You get special action bars to take out guards and pick up the loot along the way till we get to the end and descend further to find our THIEVES and apprehend them.
Anyway we deep dive further and find out this lab leads to some massive...generator type thing the eldan built long ago for who knows what, and the culprit skeech and chua are There doing some kind of monologuing about a plan I forgot about. Something something ruin winterfest fiveever.
We get a double boss battle that sort of reminds me of the gauntlet end boss a bit. heroes win, yeehaw, the place is suddenly set to blow and everybody's like Oh No Lol. But have no fear! The Roan Ranger knows a way out of here cutscene!
That we never get to fucking see.
So we get out, the place blows and we got MOST of the stuff. BUT THEN as everyones on the ship, sky pirates come and attack and jack the stuff from us that we HILARIOUSLY CARRY OUTSIDE THE SHIP AND NOT INSIDE THE SHIP??? cut to some very playstation crash bandicoot rail shooter type level of shooting the pirate ship down and getting our loot back.
success, but everyones ship blows up at the end and everyone just pleasantly parachutes down and there are gifts everywhere and beat up pirates and singed dommies and the rest plays out like a saturday morning cartoon. bad guys go to bad guy jail. Cactus jail with the cactus warden, the children get their gifts and the day Is Saved.
then we zoom out and it was just like a TV show sort of deal going on starring our characters playing on someones tv at home who wasnt even that into the special to begin with

If you want to add your voice, here’s a thread where several people have left screenshots and memories.
