Tags: MANTIS, Tech, Training Facility Double D's log 6: MANTIS Corp. decided that it was necessary to construct a formal training for new and less experienced Special Forces operatives. I was sent to give instructions to some of the new recruits before heading off to my next mission. The color-scheme seemed odd to me until it was explained that it was to give the recruits a more realistic feel because most of them would face battle outside of the corporation's walls. AG: MANTIS Training Facility by David FNJ, on Flickr Alright, let's give this one a go - and focus on your target while being aware of other enemies. I'll watch from the sides. Good work, much better than last time - most of you did not get hit, but you took a long time to hit your targets. "Maybe that's because we don't have nice weapons..." I don't think that's... "The problem. Weapons are not your most valuable tool." Darvage? Is that...I didn't expect you to be here! "That's the way I like it." "Here, hold these for a minute and reset the training hall, but this time add that robot into the mix to be on the enemy's side." "Use your surroundings, and take control of the situation - don't let the situation control you. Firepower and weapons aren't everything. Get good with the junky gear and weapons now, and you'll be a real threat on the battlefield with professional gear. Fail now, and you'll get out of control later. And Double D, the offer to join the Sardonyx Federation is still open - we could really use some men like you." I've got too many things on my plate, especially here with MANTIS. Perhaps another time. "Alright...but if you change your mind, let me know. Farewell, and keep those men in shape. Good luck with your corporate efforts." Thanks. ~ DD out ---------------------------------------------------------------- After building one of the modules, I got pieces to build exactly four more modules and then had a short contest with some family members. The contestants had had to build the module that I had built with the pieces that I provided. It was quite fun! Note: The tie-in with the Sardonyx Federation story is not meant to promote that story or that MOC that the link went to, but it is just a way for us to link our stories because prior to joining Andromeda's Gates, Andrew and I were developing a story with the Sardonyx Federation.

mccoyed Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Nice build, but the small pics make it really hard to follow the action. Quote
Mark of Falworth Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Looking great! No, wait this is mostly Kawashita colors.... Naw seriously! This is cool! Keep it up man! :thumbup: Quote
SpacerSteve Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Excellent tech build. Hopefully Double D doesn't leave for the Sardonyx Federation. We need him too much at MANTIS! Quote
Mike S Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Great build! Looks like you joined the wrong corporation... Quote
aeralure Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 I really like the modules. I'd like to develop some interiors for scenes I wish to do, but I am a ways off on that yet. Lots of minifigs and posing for the action too. Well done! Quote
Balbo Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Great job, David I love the interior and the robots Quote
