Shadow of Elko
The Shadow of Elko refers to the long-cemented status of the Elko Astronauts
as a superior team to the
Alewife Arsonists
in the long-running Thank You For Not Smoking Crown.
Hellmouth II Cup
Hellmouth II/Season 13 saw the Alewife Arsonists
suffer an unbearable loss to an old rival, the
Elko Astronauts
, part of the Thank You For Not Smoking Crown. Elko once again demonstrated an ability to seal themselves off in the cold, silent vacuum of space, making themselves immune to the fire, noise, stink, and chaos of Alewife Station. The Astronauts' reverence for spacetime and the cathedrals built by geoplanetary forces over the course of many millennia left them unintimidated by the Arsonists, or the Brutalist design of their Concrete Cathedral. Instead, the zero gravity of space left the usual flame formations of the Arsonists floating helplessly in inert bubbles. The lack of gravity and atmosphere left Alewife without its most potent weapons, drifting off into the cold freezing vacuum of space in the final Game 6.
The cold Shadow of Elko had once again been cast on Alewife Station.
