Kodan Black Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Location: E02 Jurin II Tags: Science, Land Vehicle, Space Vehicle Previously... // PERSONAL DIARY // Given the state of war that exists between Octan and the other corporations, all personnel have been instructed to be much more aware of security. Our delightful CEO pombe had requested that Dr. Allison and I investigate a Mantis lab on Jurin II. I became a bit concerned for how volatile things were when he not only insisted that ED-208 escort us, but Sue didn't even object. Perhaps she is still just in mourning after the profound loss of our friend. I always felt like Normal Guy was a good guy, a great employee, and just a really easily relatable fellow. I can't even imagine how his girlfriend Eshey must be doing. But sadly, in times of war, work must keep going. So ED-208 selected his weaponry to keep us safe and we proceeded to the Octan Heavy Cruiser OCS Belle Homme, recently renamed in honor of our departed colleague. Not knowing the strength or position of Mantis forces on Jurin II, ED-208 had acquired an armed scout car for us. We were glad to have both the speed and weaponry on our trip through enemy territory. ED-208 seemed to really enjoy being back in a gunner's seat and both Dr. Allison and I felt far more comfortable with him along. I think Dr. Allison was extra nervous because she seemed to want to hang onto me during the trip, given how new she is to field work and just in general I think that she was looking for reassurance. Upon our arrival at the lab we began our work. Dr. Allison got down to analysis while I began inspecting the various machinery. ED-208 was on high alert for any Mantis forces that might have returned or in case it was a trap. It looked like the lab hadn't seen any activity in a week or two, but it was still active. It was, in typical Mantis fashion, heavily fortified and quite militaristic in nature. They seemed to be doing some research on liquids, but we weren't quite sure why. It eventually became clear that they were pulling in some of the abundant water from the planet to combine it with locally sourced Awesomnium. They seemed to be attempting to develop a beverage for their forces that would imbue the drinker with benefits from the Awesomnium while also hydrating them. We were able to find some data in various computer logs that showed they hadn't been very successful. Dissolving the Awesomnium in the water had proven difficult and they mostly ended up with very gritty water that tasted terrible and instead of the Awesomnium being absorbed it simply wound up getting peed out. We collected all the data we could and proceeded back to the Belle Homme to prepare our report. I did notice that ED-208 vented some of his frustration at the loss of Normal Guy upon the machinery before we left. Such a tragic loss is hitting all of us hard. RIP Normal Guy This diary entry is in honor of our beloved comrade. Extra Pics: Quote
mediumsnowman Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Very cool lab and vehicles! I think there's a bit too much LBG and not enough lime green/black in the lab, but overall it is very good. Quote
goatman461 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 NPU with those lbg helmets on the ship! wish I had thought of that. the car looks very sleek and I like the separate sections it has. and the pillars look great in the lab, feels like you're in a much bigger space Quote
LucasLaughing Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I agree - I really like the design of the lab. It feels like a vast, maybe underground room. Quote
Kai NRG Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Great work, I really like the interior scene and the Octan vehicles are neat too! Quote
SpacerSteve Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I like the use of the skater helmet on the ship. I like your lab. I think the lab colors are fine. It is a bit of a space for one computer though Quote
Kodan Black Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 I like the use of the skater helmet on the ship. I like your lab. I think the lab colors are fine. It is a bit of a space for one computer though Can I help that you guys waste a lot of space? I actually felt like I tend to overly cram stuff in so I wanted to do a more spacious and "clean" build.

rodiziorobs Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I love the spacious clean interior! NPU on those helmets, although the way they are attached they look kind of like flick-fires Quote
Orange Leader Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Your vehicles have a very Octan like feeling, which I personally think suits them well. Quote
