## Appearances

### Debut

The Comfort of Air Travel

Hillary Cluckus was a Lavender Araucana hen. She was the CEO of Cluckus Industries from April 8th 2019 to 22nd of February 2021. She was demoted by Tristan Cox and Merida Cluckus after she began developing psychopathy. She was the Captain of the C.I.S. *Mojave* as of 2023.

#### Early Life

Hillary Cluckus hatched on a farm in the town of Dairsie, on April 7th, 2015. She was good friends with Merida Cluckus, and the two would often go worm-hunting together. That summer, she was purchased (along with Merida and Aurelia Cluckus) by Tristan Cox's family. She immediately tried to escape her new home, but was soon found again. Nathaniel Honkus, one of the goose co-directors of Honkus Science Innovators, made first contact with Aurelia and invited her to join HSI. However, on March 17, 2016, Preston Honkus was supposedly murdered by Nathan, and Nathan handed the deeds to the coal mine (the location of HSI) to Aurelia. Together, the four founded Cluckus Industries. They began work on a bunker in the coal mine, at first creating a lobby, which was finished on September 1st, 2016. They then moved on to an R&D lab, amongst other things.

#### A New Leader

On the 8th of April, 2019, Aurelia Cluckus stepped down as CEO and retired a month later, leaving Hillary in charge. Hillary sped up work on the bunker, began work on a hotel, and sourced other employees. By the end of 2019, Cluckus Industries was hiring 150 chickens.

#### The Adventures

In December 2019, Tristan and his mum were going on holiday. The chickens 'sneakily' followed, but were spotted by Tristan at the last second. When Tristan got home, Hillary and Nathan distracted him, while the others got away. Hillary then also got away, before the rumbling of launch engines got Tristan suspicious.

However, Tristan was alerted to their plan, and managed to drag Hillary's escape pod into the Kinessburn River. Hillary activated the emergency prototype teleporter to get back to 59 Lade Braes, leaving a sodden Tristan to walk back home.

Afterwards, the two made up, and a month later, pulled off a robbery. They had a lot more adventures as well, including time and space travel, and even inter-dimensional travel.

#### 2021

In 2021, Hillary began displaying symptoms of psychopathy. She refused to let Tristan rescue Julius Caesar, even threatening to kill Tristan and Julius. A month or so later, Tristan barely prevented her from executing Ignotus Yellowbeak. By this point, her psychopathy had developed so far that Tristan refused to let her run Cluckus Industries anymore. He used a secret machine in the old bunker to demote her, and promote Merida to the now-vacant rank of CEO.

When Tristan created the C.I.S. *Mojave*, Merida made Hillary the captain. Thus, as captain of the Cluckus Flagship, Hillary commanded the Cluckus Fleet.

#### 2022

During the year of 2022, Hillary took a step back from authority roles. When the C.I.S. *Mojave* was semi-retired and stopped being the Cluckus Flagship, Hillary turned down the offer to captain the C.I.S. *Ferocity*.

#### 2023

In early 2023, during the Battle of Geaston Manor, the presumed-destroyed C.I.S. *Yamato II* crash-landed on Granta Farm, after having decayed in its orbit over 37 years. Merida, wanting to step down from the role of CEO, handed the role back to Aurelia Cluckus. After the *Yamato II* was repaired, Hillary and Merida began a five month long cruise through the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy.

During the cruise, they met up with the C.I.S. *Kalahari* and the S.S. *Pathfinder*. Nathaniel and Preston Honkus removed various hiderances on their Comet Plasma Engines, taking note of the designers who had made the changes.

When in the Andromeda Galaxy, the ship was detected by the I.C. *Nightingale*. In a desperate attempt to contact a spacefaring civilisation, the Iconians onboard attempted to hack the autopilot to bring the *Yamato II* to the *Nightingale* and establish contact. Freddie Wells, a Cluckus Industries employee presumed dead but actually aboard the *Nightingale*, used his Level 5 security clearance to override the autopilot. However, Merida and Hillary noticed the autopilot 'malfunctioning', and reset the security codes.
