The rising star of galactic expansion is no more dim and weak and gradually climbs alien heights. M.A.N.T.I.S. now undertakes the glorious path of success - and profit as well. Finally, our talents can be exploited at their best: my past achievements in scientific research have earned me the chance to take part in this journey, and I am now conducting not one, but two research projects on the planet Jurin II; my last assistant has... gone missing, and has been replaced by a more competent one; and lastly, I am awaiting a visit from our Councilor Maxxene Cor, who wishes to inspect our research base personally. The week has brought great positive changes - and one little drawback: apparently, I've lost much of my fondness for tentacled mollusks..."

I hope your journey went well." 20150625_172736 (1) by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr Maxxene Cor: "It was fine, thanks. And you are?" Zeni'ya: "I am Zeni'ya, Dr.Arkov's First Xenology Assistant. My non-humanity often disconcerts visitors, but has proved useful in Dr.Arkov's work. My outlook on the subject is... unique, to say the least." Maxxene Cor: "I suppose so. Where is Dr. Arkov?" Zeni'ya: "He is working. He figured you would be much more interested in the actual research rather than in the hundreds of pages of data we collected. Maxxene Cor: "Then he knows me better than I thought." Zeni'ya: "He just read your file. Here, we must access this hatch to enter the underwater section." 20150625_172821 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr 20150625_173056 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr Zeni'ya: "I present to you...

As you can see, our research proceeds fast with the acquisition of new test subjects in the form of alien corpses to dissect for anatomical examination. 20150625_173244 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr Dr.Arvan: "Living specimens are also crucial for study." Maxxene Cor: "I admit this...Xenobiology? sounds fascinating, but I fear we're short on time and I am far more intrigued by your...technological research, if you understand what I mean."

We are currently testing Awesomnium-enhanced weapons on different materials.The Awesomnite alloy seems to tolerate normal damage well, but it can't defend from itself. 20150625_174208 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr Maxxene Cor: "Time's run out, unfortunately. Well, doctor, I am... impressed. We look forward to seeing these implemented on the battlefield. For M.A.N.T.I.S." Dr.Arvan: "Farewell."

Kodan Black Posted June 25, 2015 That is a very substantial build! The "roof" landing pad with hatch is very cool. The morgue/lab is really well done also; the various tools and bodies is a nice touch. Can't believe you did all that for a weekly build! I'm impressed!
