Monria Field Trips are sponsored by the Community Initiatives Program (CIP), and an integral part of our new player Monrian Born Program. Members of the Monria Community Assistance Team (MCAT) accompany us on field trips to help guide our Monrian Born through the activities where required. Additionally, many who are not MCAT team members also join us for the fun and to help with our Monrian Born. We thank them very much.
All Monrian Born interested in experiencing this field trip, please be prepared to join us on Friday, Aug 23rd beginning at 22:30 game time, which is the end of our Friday Yamato travel schedule.
If you are on Monria, then you can fly with us during our travel schedule on Friday, or if you are on Arkadia, Calypso, Rocktropia or Cyrene, we can pick you up along the way. If you are already on Next Island, then meet us a little after 22:30 game time at Crystal Bay to coordinate the agenda. I will verify that this will be the place to meet and update this thread.
Details are listed below.

Any activities with the Monria community members is fun and crazy because we are a spontaneous and random lot where anything is possible, and it's always good to "Expect the Unexpected."
This new Next Island vehicle is acquired through a mission which we will do early or first thing because I think the special event that Draxar & Ekimose have planned for us on Saturday requires we have this.
This is also a 2-seater vehicle and is quite cool ... I hear it's easier to handle than the Cyrene Spear.
I have also added a little video of Lami taking me for a ride on it when we were at our Arkadia field trip last month. I can't wait to get my own.
For those who have not been to Next Island yet, join us and have a fun weekend exploring.
