The above build is reused and should not be judged.

General: How did you like the new ship.

Hawk: The ship was excellent. It was just great to get back in the pilot seat for a change. It's seems like all I do is spy missions anymore. Even going on patrol is better then spy missions any day. But enough about me, what brings you here general?

General: It's your next mission.

Hawk: You came to give me another patrol run?

General: No. We have detected an anomaly near a small chain of islands. It is hundreds of miles from any known Kawashita base so we wanted someone to check it out.

Hawk: Do you want me to take pictures from orbit then.

General: No. We need some eyes on the ground so we wanted to send our best spy to scout it out b..

Hawk: Thanks general but I'm not much of a sp.....

General: but he was busy so we decided to send you in his place.

Hawk: Oh.

Short while later.....

Hawk: I think I found the source of the energy readings general. I don't know how this got past our ships.

General: What is it?

-

Hawk: It looks like a standard freighter. Might be Kawashita in origin but I see no markings. There also seems to be no activity around the ship.

General: We are analyzing its profile now.

Hawk: The ship looks like it has 3 Macro cannon batteries. Seems a little excessive for a freighter.

General: Can you get a closer look?

Hawk: I've got a bad feeling about this ship.

General: Nonsense. It will be perfectly safe. We would have never complained about a mission like that back on Ice Planet.

-

Hawk: Wait I think I see something moving. Look like some sort of shuttle. They are heading my direction. I think they know I'm here.

General: Nonsense. you have some of the best stealth tech in MANTIS. Our analysis of the ship is complete. Well this is intersting.

Hawk: What is it?

General:Hawk you need to abort the mission immediately! Get a safe distance and wait for reinforcements! The ship is know as the Tyrant. It was last captained by........

Hawk: To late gen..al. The. .re fa.. . I ....nk .he. g.. ..skkkkkkk.

General: Get me HR. We have lost contact with Hawk. Make sure that if he gets captured that his vacation time is deducted for every day he is gone.

Nice build! I like how you did the water - it looks great!

General: Get me HR. We have lost contact with Hawk. Make sure that if he gets captured that his vacation time is deducted for every day he is gone.

Glad to see the General does things by the book

Sweet speeder, and that kawashita vehicle is quite a beast, great use of the tires Excellent dialogue in the story too

[LittleJohn]

Excellent build, Hawk! I really like how you did the micro trees on the islands, and the MANTIS speeder is fabulous

[SpacerSteve]

Awesome ship. I like the little fighter craft too. Hilarious dialogue. Hawk almost thought gee was the best spy in mantis. I'm looking Garrard to the next installment.

Thats a superb Kawashita ship. Wow. The shape is delightful! I love it! Very in keeping with my personal ideas as to what Kawashita's aesthetic should be (even if it turns out to be something other than Kawashita) It feels primordial; an ancient hulking leviathan levitating through sufficiently advanced technology, smoothly floating through the alien sky.

That thing looks like it could wreck some stuff.

Everything else is great too! The other vehicles are sweet, and the scenery is well done. I like how the Tyrant fits in between the islands.

Wonderful build!
