It's a foggy morning on Sorn....I've been going over some regular maintenance on the K-8 GEV.

We had a flame-out on Engine 3 yesterday, so I adjusted the valve guides in the secondary intake buffer.

We were dispatched here a week ago, but only retrieved half of our assignment transmission....so we don't really have any "official" orders...

Verdi has taken quite a liking to Fishing....

We have quite a yummy catch so far...

The Alexyev K-8 is a Ground Effect Vehicle....looks alot like an airplane, but only skims the water's surface....

Four Ion-Jet Turbines provide all the power one would need....and Fry up the Fish in the process!

The fishing Rigs and Bouys are optional extras, but Acct. Long seldom checks the actual invoices for equipment....

Ved: "Verdi...I've got the engines running, but I'm showing no movement....What did you adjust last night??"

Verdi: {Rustling sounds, cracking noise}

"Hey....Captain...this is great hootch!"

Ved: "One moment Dr. Palmer....wait?!?! What? Hootch?"

Dr. Palmer: (Slurred) "Yeah, flom the clate up flont......." *falls down*

Ved: "Um......That's Octan J-47z Engine Cleaner.....See how the intakes shine? I've been working on that all morning!"

Ved: "Oh wait...the fog is clearing, finally. I think I see the problem...."

"We appear to have run aground in a tiny island......"

Landscape: (Where I discover one PaB cup of studs is nowhere near as many as I needed....)

Very nice work, impressive fishing rig! Lots of other neat details too! I think there are a few too many studs exposed on the vehicle, for my taste at least, but great work with the greebling and engine sections!

Looks like you having fun and could relax before long week :)

I got orders to relocate to Sorn, to establish stable communication channel so none of you got bored.

Cool jet boat. I like the pontoons and all the structure and other bits on it.
