SpacerSteve Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Location: F04 Illustria Tags: Spying, Military Building, Land Vehicles, Spaceship ***Currently in Orbit over Illustria*** - Thank you and the rest of MANTIS for repairing our ships. Now several weeks ago I gave you a data disk to look at. Have you had a chance to see it yet. - No I haven’t. I have been busy building towers and fighting off rebel robots. – We just “borrowed” this Holodeck from a merchant confederacy vessel. You should try it out. - That you but I’m not sure this Holodeck is a good idea. I hear they can be tampered with. I’ve even read that they can lead to you brain melting. - Just a bunch of superstition. It is safer than gate travel. Pretty soon there will be one of these on every battleship. You can have your tech check it out if it’ll make you fell better. Here while she checks it out put these on. – Do I really need to wear these. They look doofy. - They will keep your brain from melting. - The Holo deck Checks out. You are good to go. – Thanks. I’ll use the pod over there. ***The Holo deck comes alive with a low hum*** – Where are we? – We are on the weapons deck of the MCF Pride of Torresta – Really that was Leonne Corr’s flagship. It went missing after his death. They say it had enough firepower to take on a fleet on its own. - Just watch the security recording. - Great shot Maxxene! You vaporized that asteroid on your first shot. - Thanks Dad - Look dad! I just figured out how to convert Mithril into Magtronium! - Excellent work son! Now Children run along and do your homework. I have a meeting to attend to. - OK Dad! We love our homework! - Welcome Commodore. First Branch Manager Leonne Jr.! - Sir. Before we get into business. I need to let you know that I am giving you my resignation. Here are the fleet codes. - But Commodore you have been working with since we came to Andromeda. Why are you leaving? Profits are through the roof. - The mining operations are just not my style. I am starting my own “privateering” group. I hear the Kawashita group is on it’s way to Andromeda. I think I’ll try offering them “protection”. – You know as well as I do that Kawashita won’t stand for that. They have deep pockets but they also have expert special forces. I have realized in my day that piracy only leads to the grave. - Good bye old friend…. - Did you know anything about this Son? Did you put him up to this? - No father. I wanted to ask for more funding to complete my research. The Kawashita and Octan corporations will be in Andromeda soon. With the Commodore leaving he is sure to take a quarter of our troops with him. We need my project to be able to remain dominant. Octan has just purchase Explorien. With that many builders they would be able to control 50% of Andromeda before we could respond. - You know I cant do that. I don’t think your project has any place in the MANTIS corporation. Which is why I intend to pass the company to Maxximus and Maxene upon my death. - But father you employ soldiers spies and battleship captains. If you had my research there would be no need for any of them. No one would dare oppose MANTIS. There would be peace! - The answer is still NO. Leonne Jr. puts a helmet on and storms out of the office. – Good luck father. I hope these little science projects can keep the company safe. Tell Maxximus and Maxxene goodbye for me. ***Meanwhile on the surface of Illustria.*** - Thanks for meeting Chogg. SpacerSteve will be so happy that Chogg has info on a top secret Kawashita ship. - My pleasure Chogg. It is always nice to help a friend. To be continued. Thanks for looking. C&C is welcome. Sorry for the long story. Edited May 16, 2016 by SpacerSteve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Sal Posted May 16, 2016 This is great! The plot thickens! Now I really want to know what happened to Leone Jr and what his research was! I really like the spaceships at the start too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LittleJohn Posted May 16, 2016 Very interesting story, looking forward to the next part! Excellent micro spaceships as well, some great parts usage there, and Chogg's vehicle is really nice too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EpsilonEta Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) That recording is obviously faked. Do you expect us to believe this: “OK Dad! We love our homework! ” Yeah right (or MANTIS have very different homework to do ) :laugh: Cool builds and I really like your Dust Demon story. Raven will have to stop hanging with her family and stop this family and their mysterious research (bet it's “Art of War” The fonding he's asking for is 12000 awesomnium, 9400 water... ) Edited May 16, 2016 by EpsilonEta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted May 16, 2016 Wonderful group of micro space ships, with fun parts use and great shapes Excellent interior with those stairs, railing, and commander chair. Plus a very intriguing story Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dannylonglegs Posted May 17, 2016 Wow, I've gotta go back and freshen up on all your story builds that I've missed, because this is tense, and I really want to see where it goes! Great build! Like, really great! Your microships are well done, but the office steals the show. Also, Chogg's vehicle is really great. I can't wait to see what happens next! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpacerSteve Posted May 17, 2016 Thanks for the awesome comments. That recording is obviously faked. Do you expect us to believe this: “OK Dad!

Raven will have to stop hanging with her family and stop this family and their mysterious research (bet it's “Art of War” The fonding he's asking for is 12000 awesomnium, 9400 water... ) Very observant. There may be a slight chance this was tampered with..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David FNJ Posted May 17, 2016 Wow, that story is really cool! Fantastic micro spaceships, and the control room is also great. To top it off you even had a sweet vehicle in the mix, superb! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
