EpsilonEta Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Location: B05 – Marphacia Tags: Piracy, Spying, Land/Water vehicle Raiding supplies Raven have completed her Dust Demon training and even had time to access some restricted data before her first mission. With others credentials (it's amazing how guys don't mind a charming girl hanging over there shoulder as they log in) she then access coming Demon strikes to various Kawashita targets. Raven notice several disturbing things, first there is no record of Octan or MANTIS being attacked. Second ,which might explain the first, the level of intel they have about Kawashita operations and movement indicate they have an inside source. If she send the data she found the normal way (hidden in a media file posted on a social network) anyone knowing what to look for could find it meaning it's very likely the traitor would find out we where after him. Raven decides to give the data to someone she can trust and download everything, including her own observations, to a data chip. If someone where to cross reference the Demon's data and employees at Kawashita it should be able to find who had access to these specific operations. Especially as Kawashita often have canary traps in there documents. Raven might not agree to all the honor stuff but she love there intelligence and espionage like approach to running there company. She leave a comment with a hidden message to meet at B05 on motorcycle forum called “Angel customs”.It's a cover site used by Kawashitas “internal affairs agent” Now it was time for here first mission with the Demons. An easy raid on a supply transport on Marphacia. D***, they are having extra guards. I call for an extra drop ship. No need, I can take them. Just wait 30 seconds and then start shooting at them. No, they have hard plate armor, we can't hurt them with these weapons. Sure we can, remember, 30 seconds. Then she runs away. The captain and Trevor wait half a minute and start shooting. This is stupid, lets retreat. They wont follow us, they have to guard the supplies. Wooow!! That was fantastic! You just... and then... Raven and the captain don't listen as they round up the soldiers. Are we going to kill them? No! We wont execute people, Kawashita is mad enough from the raiding. A short time later. What are we waiting for? I can't get this stupid loading droid to work without the access codes. Try, talking to it, offer it a better job. It worked for MANTIS. That was Octan drones. You don't just hack Kawashita stuff (unless they are test drones) Then we can at least use it for target practice. Booom! What the h** did you do that for? But it's useless without the access codes. Sarah is getting them now! And the codes to this hover platform! Oops Some time later “Sarah” gets the codes and they can get away. (I attempted to do speed blur without the proper tool) Extra guards and active security codes. Those Kawashitas are really angry with us now. They start unloading the supplies manually as they “lost” the loading droid. Look out! It's that robot guy! What? The one who killed a lot of us, blew up the Direstan base and destroyed the walker droid? Run for your life. Hopefully he can't run in three directions simultaneously. Get aboard the Wasp and take off, I'll delay him. Koro seemingly blocks the shots with his sword (or Raven misses on purpose, hard to tell) As the gun breaks Raven roll and twist the sword from Koro's hand. Koro put away his gun and pull the second sword. Raven only have basic swords training and Koro is faster and stronger thanks to his cybernetic body. Raven soon falls. She roll away and leave the data chip. (You know if you read the initial text) Koro pics up the chip as Raven “escape” The first scene from the top (this is all that should be judged, the Wasp is from last week) You might have noticed the jungle was similar but not the same on the raid site and the loading/fighting site. Well the jungle have a hing. The loading drone. The hover platform car thing. Edited July 5, 2015 by EpsilonEta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narbilu Posted July 5, 2015 I luv the build... just wondering why Raven is fighting Koro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EpsilonEta Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) She also raid and fight Kawashita. She is under cover as a Dust Demon. She called Koro to Marphacia so she could give him the data chip. She need to make it look like a fight so the other Demons don't suspect anything. And who woulden't want to fight Koro (maybe not so many) Edited July 5, 2015 by EpsilonEta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commander Turtle Posted July 5, 2015 That makes sense, otherwise I'm pretty sure Koro would have killed Raven! I like the SNOT curves on the vehicle! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccoyed Posted July 5, 2015 Don't count Raven out, Turtle. She's like Boba Fett with all the tricks up her sleeve. She's also the best undercover agent Kawashita has! That vehicle is amazing and as I told ya before, the presentation and storytelling in this build are top knotch. I also love seeing Koro wandering around kicking megablocks all on his own!

EpsilonEta Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) That makes sense, otherwise I'm pretty sure Koro would have killed Raven! Yes, he probably would. Especially as Raven is specialized in stealth (infiltration, espionage, sabotage) while Koro's specialty seems to be close range fighting. Edit: Aw Megablock! Had I posted a minute earlier the pro Raven comment would have been the last. Don't count Raven out, Turtle. She's like Boba Fett with all the tricks up her sleeve. She's also the best undercover agent Kawashita has! Thanks for defending her but here she dosen't even have her standard gear. She does have a jetpack thou but that didn't help Boba that much.

Kodan Black Posted July 6, 2015 That transport rocks! I'm a fan of your story too, can't wait to see where it goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EpsilonEta Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) That transport rocks! I'm a fan of your story too, can't wait to see where it goes. Thank you, and the rest of you who liked the build. I wasn't even planing on doing story or that many builds here but AG have sucked me in. I might take a break when the Dust Demons have been dealt with as I have a Swedish lego sci-fi story going too. Raven is in that as well but about 20 years older, 1200 years earlier and a galaxy closer. I'm going to translate them and post on MOCpages when I get time.

NuckElBerg Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Great story and build Epsilon! I adore how "action-esque" all your stills feel, especially the fighting ones, and I really, really love the Lego "special effects"! Edited July 6, 2015 by NuckElBerg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robuko Posted July 6, 2015 Excellent story, shown with a great sense of action. Both the ships are very well suited to their purpose, and I love that jetpack effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrcp6d Posted July 7, 2015 The transport is nicely utilitarian and sleek at the same time, which I assume is hard to do (I've never tried... ), so kudos there. I also like those upside down bush trees. Really simple and really effective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackhawk STX Posted July 7, 2015 Nice! I like the transport... Looks great! The fight scenes were well done as well. Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andromedas Gates Posted July 7, 2015 The judges awarded you 5 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EpsilonEta Posted July 7, 2015 Thank you everyone, and the judges of the score. It seems adding fighting scenes give some extra points (or scoring have been adjusted since the first weeks) I made those trees because I had a lot of bushes but didn't want to cover the ground I already made. The supply transport was actually pretty quick to do. I started with the engines than the red. The front got a little 50s look so I built the gray with that in mind (a little retro future) and built my way back via the underside. It wasn't very hard but I have made a few things during my 10 years as an AFOL, it's just not on Eurobricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Sal Posted July 9, 2015 Both ships are really nice! I especially like the cargo in the back of the transport! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
