pombe Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Dramatis Personae: Spoiler Sea Rats Ethylene Glycol Professor of science. A former faculty member at a prominent Corrington university, she was dismissed after failing to have her grants and fellowships renewed as a result of years of failing to publish in peer reviewed scientific journals. Railing against the scientific institution's insistence that data obtained from experiments must be reproducible and come from well controlled rational approaches to testing a model, Professor Glycol has decided to start her own university of higher learning at the Port of Bastion, where she can do science the proper way and publish in her own independent journal with herself as the sole reviewer, unfettered by the rules of the intellectually inferior. Lucy Liu Sixth year graduate student with no publications. Bitter and jaded, with hatred for the entirety of existence, Lucy followed her advisor to the Port of Bastion, because no other faculty members would accept her as a student after being already mentored by Professor Glycol. Highly intelligent and talented, she has languished in academic hell for the past six years, trying in vain to get her advisor to adopt the practices of the other science professors. Wilhemina Savore A graduate student in civil engineering, with an interest in siegecraft. Prefers to be called Willy. Alois Bieber First year graduate student with no publications. As a former Olean soldier in the Order of Faith, he was a leader against the principles of science, when he attempted to disrupt a seminar being given by Professor Glycol. Instead, he found himself understanding her talk and becoming interested in the subject. Confused and bewildered, he spent two years soul searching until he was able to accept that he had been wrong his whole life. Alois then sought out Professor Glycol, explained his scientific enlightenment, and became her student. Oleon Harriet Schwartz A captain in the Oleon navy and a master naval tactician. She fell in love with an Oleon soldier named Alois Bieber, due to his intractable religious faith and his outspokeness against the principles of science, not to mention his super hot looks. She courted him, only to be horrified as she witnessed his turn to heresy at the hands of the blasphemous Professor Glycol. Now she is on a mission to get him back from the Sea Rats and return him to the truth of the Oleon faith, while making him hers. Helmut Dark An officer in the Oleon navy and Captain Harriet Schwartz's first officer. Professional and loyal, he follows his captain's every command, while putting up with her shortcomings. Dieter Picante A young Oleon navy officer in Captain Harriet Schwartz's crew. Previously, https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/155928-sr-fb-a-nerdy-auction/.... Somewhere on the high seas... Okay, we are definitely in the wrong forum! We've built a Vic Viper! No we haven't. I've asked Willy to build us a catamaran with dual outriggers and a single mast, which is what she did. There's so much light bluish grey in this MOC, I don't know how it's not a spaceship! I did do my best to hide that fact with all the white plates. CAMOUFLAGE! And who would even put two outriggers on a catamaran?!?! This design has too much drag and turns like a brick!!! It is super stable. To make her faster, I did suggest adding hydrofoils when we were building her... Hydrofoils haven't been invented, yet!!! And even then this stupid thing would be too heavy for them!!! HISTORY AND PHYSICS!!! Certain design aspects had to be considered since it is Novvember... Ah ha!!! It is a Vic Viper!!! You built this just to post a Vic Viper in the Pirates forum!!! BUSTED!!! Well...there are other reasons. Like what? Like we're poor. We don't have enough doubloons to sistership the Nerdy Mermaid which we lost and had auctioned off by Bloody Bill. What? Aren't you supposed to be writing for grants and fellowships?!?! They've all been rejected by the damned funding agency snobs. In fact, our only source of income at the moment is five doubloons a month that we receive from your marital arts studio. I've been funding your research group this whole time?!?! @$#%%$&$*$*%^&^^*$#%@$%&*^!!! And how's this stupid ship going to help us?!?! We've sold the rights to license this ship to @Professor Thaum to cover the costs of sistershipping the Nerdy Mermaid. Great. Now we're making MOCs for other players since my advisor is an idiot. Comments and criticisms are all welcome! Quote
Professor Thaum Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 This one will be named the VicViper a classy class 1 never seen in BoBs... and thanks for the link to this wonderful martial art studio ! The story is as always -> Quote
Bodi Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Cool ship catamaran! i like her futurist look, and the brick built sail is really good. Hilarious story. Quote
Kwatchi Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 I'm .... uh... what the what? There are shards of the 4th wall all over the place. It looks nice of course. Quote
dr_spock Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 LOL. Nice ship. Not quite sure if it meets the VV specifications published on Flickr. Quote
