Dannylonglegs Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Tags: Science, Spaceship Planet: F03, Foring The sun shined brightly in the field where the meeting was to be held. The Merchant Confederacy had decided a plantation on Foring (one belonging to a wealthy local client of theirs) as the place where the talks would be held. They had prepared a platform in the field. They had chosen a gains using the plantation itself as the facility was atmosphere controlled, and the air was not conducive to extended breathing by those with lungs... A bizarre ship descended from the heavens, carrying one of the two ambassadors of the Confederacy. Dr. Long and her colleagues has assembled before the platform, engaged in pre-meeting talks. Dr. Long: "the briefing mentioned extensively the refugee issue being faced by the Confederacy. I hope you aren't planning to offer free handouts to these people." John Hannibal: "They're not looking for Charity. We are here to discuss equitable trade arrangements. We are both looking for mutually beneficial arrangements. The refugees need somewhere to live and work... we need laborers on planets with atmospheres foreign to us, and colonists for our homesteads. I don't see that our goals are at odds." Dr. Long: "Very good. Another source of cheap Labor is always beneficial. I just want to ensure that these talks are productive." John Hannibal: "You don't have to babysit us. I am the CEO, after all." Dr. Long: "Of course, Mr. Hannibal." The final dignitary arrived, and the introductions began. John introduced the group to Callahan, with whom he'd been talking, and the new dignitary, a representative from the he plantation owner's company. Dr. Long found the new arrival most intriguing. "Fascinating" she stated, looking the man over, "I was lead to believe that the Merchant Confederacy is comprised solely of Humans... so that would make this specimen a human as well... the genetic modification is extensive... and perplexing. I wonder what purpose these appendages serve?" Dr. Long queried, gently lifting one of the dignitary's tentacles. John Hannibal: "Dr.Long, I don't see how this is appropriate. We are their guests. Well have time for medical examinations following the talks." Dr. Long: "Of course. This genetic modification technology is simply fascinating..." Dignitary: " performed by the Zoid to my people a hundred years or more ago. They desired an amphibious servitor of human stock. We were made to harvest the Awesomnium from the depths of Sorn, but We rebelled and joined the Confederacy, and now our proud traditions are practiced in freedom from the oppression of slavery." Wick Nole: "Greetings. Shall we begin?" Dignitary: "Yes, Let's" The talks continued for several hours as many important topics were brought to bare. Including the discussion of the refugees joining Octan as colonists, and Octan's inclusion in the confederacy, as well as the continued threat posed by the Zoid raiders. Callihan resolved that he wanted to inspect some of Octan's famous ships and to observe their pilots in action. When the meeting concluded, a fit 20 something year old with scruffy hair in a tight suit and brown kaki pants rushed to Dr. Long. Dr. Long: "What Is it?" She asked her secretary, Odus Dillberg. Odus: "Sorry to interrupt you Dr. Long!" Dr. Long: "What's done is done. What do you have for me?" Odus: "Well I just noticed you have a new meeting on your agenda for next week with HR on Farmolis!" Dr. Long: "I didn't schedule anyrhing... unless... Kevin." Odus: "Who?" Dr. Long: "A colleague. Sounds like I have to take a trip to Farmolis then..." Odus: "Alright! Roadtrip!" Dr. Long: "You can leave now." "Log date 440, This is Dr. Danielle Long, Recording from Foring. Diplomatic talks with the Merchant Confederacy have gone exceedingly well... I anticipate extensive collaboration in the futures. John Hannibal was right, their brand of Anarcho-Capitalism is quite compatible with Octan's practices. Furthermore, this time served as an excellent chance for one of my interns to gather flora samples. Time is money, after all. On another note... it may be prudent to take Zoid captives when next we encounter them... it sounds as though their gen-mod tech could be quite profitable should we be able to reverse engineer it... alright, that's it for now. Dr. Long out." Dr. Long has assigned an intern to gather specimens of local flora to be analyzed on the Axle! How industrious of her! Time is money, after all! The Science must get done! The ship is "The Flying Pig" ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited October 6, 2015 by Dannylonglegs Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted October 5, 2015 Author Posted October 5, 2015 Ok, better pictures and story is up! Sorry to make y'all wait, but I wanted to make sure I did justice to Goatman's characters, and I wasn't sure I could at 2:00 am... ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
mediumsnowman Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Neat build! The first picture with is really cool. I see you also found a use for the zombie businessman hair this week... Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted October 6, 2015 Author Posted October 6, 2015 Neat build! The first picture with is really cool. I see you also found a use for the zombie businessman hair this week... Thanks! I wasn't getting any good shots of the ship, so I though, why not use the natural background? It fit for the planet! Also, if you noticed, I originally intended this to be Seamus Aaron's ship, but I didn't build it in time! The hair was a coincidence. great hairpiece though. I thought it fit the character in today's Installment. In future scenes his hair may be more combed, but he had to run to give Dr. Long the news! he's very loosely the Odie to Dr. Long's Garfield. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote

SpacerSteve Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Great use of the lego friends balloon! The cup holding it up must be the anti gravity waves keeping it suspended. Quote

I really love those parts! I'm tempted to buy another! They're so useful! Yup! I wish I'd used a Lego PAB cup though. Excellent build, I love that spaceship! Thanks! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
mrcp6d Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 So many words! I love that ship. Cool shaping, fun color. Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted October 14, 2015 Author Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) So many words! I love that ship. Cool shaping, fun color. A lot of typos too. Thanks! I know a lot of people find inter-galactic politics and trade disputes boring, but I quite like 'em! Especially when diplomacy fails. Thanks! I had fun with it! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited October 14, 2015 by Dannylonglegs Quote
