Adair Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Location: Ertauq, EO3. One of it's moons. Tags: Octan Mining Facility. The blazing sun cast it's piercing rays over the bleakness that was one of Ertauq's moons. Tsalu's trained eyes stared ahead of him at the two figures moving toward him. They were Octan. The word tasted bitter in his mouth, and felt like spitting on the ground twenty or so feet below him. His hands tightened on the rifle in his hands. He should do it now. He should kill them while they were too far away to harm him. But he would not. He had patience. He had power. He would wait until they were close enough to see their killer. Satisfaction passed sweetly over Tsalu's tongue. He did not smile, but his eyes danced with the sheer joy of his power, and the juiciness of his revenge. Octan would die, and he would be the one to kill them. They were closer now. To them what he was standing on looked like any other robotic-powered mining post. They would learn the truth in due time. Tsalu placed his helmet on his head, and raised his weapon. The sight of the two troopers between the cross-hairs sent a shiver up his spine. If only Octan knew whom they had left alive. Tsalu Ateyok would not be meddled with. The first soldier didn't have a chance. He was down before even the report echoed over the hills. The second might have, if he had had better reflexes. But he didn't. Tsalu hit him in lower torso. Deliberately, of course. The second man was still squirming when Tsalu reached him. Tsalu removed his helmet, staring at his man. The man's eyes were full of an unspeakable fear as they stared at Tsalu, and his hands groped at the ground below him. Tsalu's mouth twisted into a smile. “You heart now knows what it feels like, to be powerless. Remember that feeling. You will go into the void with it.” The last words he spit. His emotions were getting the best of him. But the man was no longer looking at him. In those few moments the fear had left his eyes, and a determination entered his eyes. Tsalu watched him, a feeling of uncertainty starting to move through him. Suddenly the man dove for his weapon, probably inflicting a huge amount of pain on himself in the process. Tsalu's reflexes snapped him into action, and he yanked up his rifle only to see the man point his weapon behind him. That's when Tsalu remembered the carton of uranium that had been left near the facility. His eyes widened. In one last, desperate effort he flung his helmet into what he estimated was the path of the shot. He missed. Next thing he knew a raging heat consumed him. He let out one last, despairing cry, then he was consumed. The fires raged on. To be continued?... Da build. And the main Pic. Thoughts? Yes, he's an alien. But he's dead now. I hope that is exceptionable. :) Can an Admin please change my title to: '[M-EO3] Taste of Death' Thanks! Soli Deo Gloria & Sola Gracia! Edited August 18, 2015 by Adair Quote
mediumsnowman Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Hmmm... Cool build, the rock work is well done. Though I believe that third-party pieces are not allowed Quote
SpacerSteve Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Welcome to MANTIS Tsalu! Nice introduction. Great story and terrain. There are a bunch of rules to take in at at first. When you post a build for weekly scoring in the title you will want to add [M-planet #]. for example if we build on A07 this week it would be [M-A07] Taste of Death. It is also good to post tags at the top of the post to help when your build is judged. Something like this. Location: Terrial Minor - D04 Tags: Exploration, Land Vehicle I second mediumsnowman in that third party parts are not allowed. I'm not sure what penalties are for using them. Great to have you aboard! Quote
Graham Gidman Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Glad to have you in Andromeda's Gates. Neat build! Quote

Great to have you aboard! Thank you, Spacer Steve! Yes, I was meaning this as a free-build, and since I don't intend to really become very active here, I can take any penalties. I was mostly thinking I could find another outlet for my Sci-fi building ideas, but I think Baneful should be enough. Thanks for your time! Glad to have you in Andromeda's Gates. Neat build! Thanks, Graham! Edited August 18, 2015 by Adair Quote
Commander Turtle Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Great little build! You should definitely place it on a planet with a [A - X00] type tag, but then I would say that since you didn't attack my company If you make a quick character, you can start collecting credits even if that character doesn't always feature such as this. Then you could get a tag or something later on Edited August 18, 2015 by Commander Turtle Quote

Dannylonglegs Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Awesome build! Excited to see what comes next! Also interested to see what made this guy hate Octan so much! viscous! So, as far as rules go (Dr. Long would be a huge stickler on this! ) I believe Aliens are not able to join corporations. I'll let Bob or another mod weigh in on that. there's always the option of being an "Alien builder" In regards to third party parts, they are allowed for sigfigs, as far as I'm aware, so no worries there, just don't go too overboard and give them to every character you show! In regards to the format and planet, if you Intend to be a member of M.A.N.T.I.S, then you must place your build within one "move" of a M.A.N.T.I.S dominated planet (map here: http://bakahomepage.com/EB/AG/map ) Proper title format is [M-Planet Number] ex: [M-D04] If you intend to build as an Alien, you may place this on any planet (other than homeworlds), but particularly one with Octan domination points. An Alien build will remove domination points, as opposed to gaining them for a Corporation. Proper format is [A-planet number] ex: [A-D04] Also you could make this a "freebuild" which is essentially whatever and wherever you want it to be. It neither gains nor detracts points. Proper format is [Freebuild] Brick on! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote

(He's dead anyway...) And I can try to avoid third party pieces later on, as well. I assume I will have to ask permission for the Admins to change my title or something? Quote
