pombe Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Location: F02 - Lesser Drigo Tags: Vehicle, Land Vehicle, Exploration, AG, Octan ++Eshey Reeshia Kolai, personal log, start recording++ Andromeda is steadily becoming developed, although some would say exploited instead. In any case, it's clear that the three major corporations are on a collision course as they expand towards each other's sphere of influence. Already there have been incidents, such as the discovery of a M.A.N.T.I.S. spy in one of our labs on Lesser Drigo (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=111380), the disappearance of our robots, also on Lesser Drigo (http://www.eurobrick...owtopic=111350]), the hi-jacking of our biomass harvests on Jurin II (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=111361), and a confrontation that resulted in the deaths of two Octan employees on Arium Major (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=111267). Some within Octan have advocated for conflict while coolers heads have sought for more diplomatic solutions. My opinion is that we have enough problems with the dangerous fauna here in Andromeda and that we shouldn't have to worry about shadow conflicts with the other corporations. Already I have been attacked by an alien snow monster (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=110681), and have preempted attacks by obliterating alien cactus monsters (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=110932). I don't even believe how I was able to survive the last mission when an alien was eating my spaceship while I was still in orbit (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=111341[/url]), but that is a story for another log. And this just as a temp. As much as I want a permanent position at Octan...you know, job security and benefits and all that...I'm afraid of the type of assignments I'd get as one. The good news is that there appears to be elements within the Kawashita corporation that are open to cooperation with Octan. While a formal press release has not been put out officially stating that our companies are cooperating, unofficial inter-corporate events have been sponsored to foster good will. Maybe...just maybe, these will lead to official collaborations between Kawashita and Octan. My mentor, Pombe, has...how shall I put this...graciously sacrificed himself to attend a "meet and greet" with an all female...and all absolutely gorgeous...Kawashita sales and marketing team. Octan is hosting the event on the tropical paradise of Jurin II. He even sent a picture to show how hard he's working. He serves as a great example for us all.... As for me, I've been assigned to meet with Kawashita engineer, Alexander Vandangant, and inter-corporate relations officer, Ava Gato. We are lucky that Alexander was available at all, considering how busy he was setting up a Kawashita geology lab on Marden (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=111650), but he was able to make time in his schedule to come all the way out to the Axle. Fortunately, that cutie Big Z will be with me as Alexander showcases his latest design in robotics engineering. Who needs a tropical paradise when you've got him around, right? Oh...the meeting will start soon and I have to get ready. ++Eshey Reeshia Kolai, personal log, stop recording++ ++Start data transmission++ Big Z and I meet with Ava and Alexander aboard the O.C.S. Axle. Greetings from Octan. Thank you, Ava and Alexander, for coming all this way to share your latest design with us. Thank you for having us! Also, be aware that I'm not allowed to share any proprietary Kawashita secrets, so what I will be showing you won't be equipped with top secret Kawashita hardware or software. We understand and are still grateful for your generosity and time. Kolai-san and Z-san, to celebrate this occasion, Alexander and I have brought our special Kawashita reserve premium rice wine. Excellent! Um...I don't drink. To refuse such a great and precious gift would be an immense dishonor to Kawashita and may affect the future relationship of our companies. Alrighty...I'll have a sip.... Excellent. Wait...hold on...why is the room spinning? I'm sitting down, right? Right? Whooaaaaaaaaa.... [Time passes] I'm up! I'm up! What...where am I? We're in an engineering bay where Alexander was about to unveil his latest robotics engineering achievement. We are glad you could rejoin us, Kolai-san. I present the Kawashita CHI-B1 hardsuit, developed to be a versatile and protective powered-armor suit for harsh and dangerous environments. In other words, when you put it on, you become hard. I beg your pardon? The purpose of a hardsuit is to make one hard, is it not? Well...I suppose when you put it that way.... This is great work, Alexander! Does it come with other weapon options? Of course! Instead of the gun and sword you see here, you can mount missile pods, artillery cannons, and anti-aircraft weapons on any of the hard points. Your hardsuit has hard points. It sounds very hard. I do not understand Kolai-san. Hardness can only be felt, not heard. Please, try it on and feel the hardness. Do you feel hard, Kolai-san? Yes...yes, I do. How about you, Z-san. Would you like to try it on and become hard? I'm always hard. Excellent. A hard man is good to find. That's not how that phrase goes...oh nevermind.... Since we are in orbit over planet F02, why don't Kolai-san and Z-san take the hardsuit out for a test? I'd love to, but I need to check up on some water absorption drones I've placed on the planet surface (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=111648). Very well, how about I accompany Kolai-san to help her search for water on the planet? Sure, I'd love to have you join me. These odd lifeforms seem to like the heat from the nearby volcanoes. Unfortunately, Kolai-san, I don't seem to be detecting any water. KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL! Kolai-san, these lifeforms do not appear predatory nor dangerous. Perhaps your Dr. Long would like live specimens to examine? KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL! As you wish. DIE!!! DIE!!! DIE!!! ++End data transmission++ Next: More pics under the spoiler tag.

Kodan Black Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Fantastic story! I love her desire to kill aliens. Nifty little suit. Good thing we have Pombe looking out for us and "working" with other corps to promote peace. Quote
robuko Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 That is real laugh-out loud funny. Great story, enjoy the hard suits! Quote
Jody Meyer Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Always hard to find a hard man...such a tongue in cheek story, great job, great build. Quote
mccoyed Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 This is one of the funniest mocs/stories I've seen on EB. Amazing dialogue and such well chosen faces/posing to go with it. Quote
EpsilonEta Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 I think someone (Ava) need to upgrade her translation chip. Or maybe she's not using one, that's admirable (but it can get a little awkward ). Really fun story. (Those Kawashita sales agents must be robo-dolls, no minifig could look like that ) Quote
mrcp6d Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 I sure laughed hard! Nice color transitions with the lava Quote
Mike S Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Great story and builds! Really like the final pic! Quote
Lord Tyrus Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Love the story! I like build, the mechs look good, and the exploding aliens look great! Quote
NuckElBerg Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 This is actually the second time I read through the story, and it's just as awsome as last time! Nice little builds, awsome story and dialogue! :D Quote
Big Sal Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Hahaha, truly laugh out loud story accompanied by great builds! Quote
Wedge09 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Thanks Pombe for featuring my char in your build! I hope one day to reciprocate! :D Quote
