Kodan Black Posted June 19, 2015 Location: F10 - Arium Major Tags: Science, Octan, Civil // PERSONAL DIARY // I'd made my way down to the planet's surface. Not wanting to disappoint Dr. Long I decided that the best way to ensure success was to take some time and try the drone out with me nearby. I figured that if I kept to the shallower water I'd be ok. This would allow me to quickly make any changes that would be necessary to provide for the full utilization of our drone. I'd been diving before but never with this kind of equipment. It was nice having someone else foot the bill for all the things I needed. As the drone performed basic maneuvers and initial analysis I was happy to see it functioning exactly as it should. Dr. Long would be most pleased! She was very attention to detail oriented and though often stern, you could see she cared. It was nice working for someone with such passion! Sometimes people make mistakes and need to be punished to get them back in line. I know that if I screw up I would expect punishment; and it would be well deserved! We need strong women who aren't afraid to put people in line. Good thing there is no corporal punishment or I'd really be in trouble. There isn't corporal punishment anymore is there? Gotta read the employee handbook on that. The test analysis was streaming back useful data already! The modifications would be pretty easy for me to replicate. If I grabbed maybe another dozen A12 units I could vastly speed up the scanning. Then Dr. Long would really be pleased with me. She might even ask me to work with her directly! Annoyingly in all my shots it seems the blue translucent bricks on either side of my minifig aren't visible. I assure you they aren't just big gaps. Also there is 1 small detail that if anyone notices will make me super happy. Extra Shots: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aeralure Posted June 19, 2015 Nice underwater scene. I really like your sub. Annoyingly in all my shots it seems the blue translucent bricks on either side of my minifig aren't visible. I saw them. Also there is 1 small detail that if anyone notices will make me super happy. Your... starfish is wearing a hat?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pombe Posted June 19, 2015 Awesome scene! I love the way your sigfig is descending through the layers of water (and the gradient of clear and non clear blue bricks to indicate light levels and depth)! Your flora represents the seaweed and kelp beautifully! And are those thermal vents? And it looks like there is a pipe or cable in place. Hmm... That Dr. Long, though...she's a tough cookie...

Mike S Posted June 19, 2015 Nice build! I like the blue flame piece use for bubbles! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aeralure Posted June 19, 2015 And it looks like there is a pipe or cable in place. Hmm... Ah surely it is that, however I noticed it too easily so I was looking for something else. Still like the starfish with the beanie though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kodan Black Posted June 19, 2015 No one has guessed it yet! It is towards the front of the scene and may only be that I built it so I know what it represents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike S Posted June 19, 2015 Are you talking about the clam trail? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kodan Black Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Are you talking about the clam trail? Yay! I had it coming out from hiding and on the move! As a fan of snorkeling I love being able to follow the trails of various marine life to see what they are up to. So I knew I wanted to feature that. I was also pretty proud of the "flowing" kelp like stuff at the back right caught in the ocean's motion. Edited June 19, 2015 by Kodan Black Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
