Traveling 6 GATE jumps had taken a toll on him. "Right, well, you know what biological warfare is?" Agent Hailey replied Onix by North White, on Flickr "You mean like germs and stuff?" Answered Captain Mesabi. "Yes, well it seems Octan has been weaponizing a version of the 'Black Eye' disease in the Oni Ren. http://www.eurobrick...74#entry2595813 "And? I'm a Pilot, I fly things." Captain Mesabi replied incredulously. "No, You're a Pawn. Just like the rest of us. And your Orders are to recover samples of the virus so we can develop an antidote." Agent Hailey said darkly. "We're going to capture a small Octan water tanker leaving Arium minor. You'll use this to infiltrate Cerberus station on Onix." "Right...." "Agents, We've sighted the tanker, right on schedule." Yelled Bo'sun Jacobs from the cockpit. Onix by North White, on Flickr "You know how this is done. Suit up." Said Agent Hailey. Onix by North White, on Flickr "Closing in, Hang on!" Yelled the Bo'sun. The Silence of Space filled Captain Mesabi as he stepped out in his suit. Onix by North White, on Flickr Before him was the Tanker, he ran forwards. Onix by North White, on Flickr A short leap through space, terrifying. Icarus Returning was far faster than the tanker, and so such a maneuver could be done. Onix by North White, on Flickr He latched onto the side. The Pilot inside looked scared. He pulled open the door, and grabbed him. Onix by North White, on Flickr The two ships docked, the prisoner was tied up, and Captain Mesabi took control of the tanker. Onix by North White, on Flickr ****************************************************************************************************** The Tanker was feet from the landing pad, Captain Mesabi turned the ship to face the correct direction. Onix by North White, on Flickr Onix by North White, on Flickr "Why do I always forget, the gauge is on the side with the nozzle..." He muttered to himself. An Octan guard walked out, holding a ladder. Onix by North White, on Flickr "Thank goodness, we're almost dry." The Octan Guard siad Onix by North White, on Flickr "Yes, I am an Octan Water Tanker Pilot. Filling Water is My job that I enjoy much." Captain Mesabi said, "Look, just fill up the tank." Onix by North White, on Flickr "Well, First I need to TANK! you!" He jumped into battle. Onix by North White, on Flickr He Grabbed the rifle, The Guard shot into the air, "Security Breach", he yelled into his helmet Onix by North White, on Flickr The Guard tossed him off, and fired. Onix by North White, on Flickr Onix by North White, on Flickr Mesabi rolled just in time, dodging the bullets Onix by North White, on Flickr He ran up and kicked the rifle out of the guards hand Onix by North White, on Flickr It flew over, and landed in the lava river, Onix by North White, on Flickr Crackling, it melted to a crisp, firing as the heat disolved it. Onix by North White, on Flickr A swift uppercut to the guard sent him sprawling Onix by North White, on Flickr Picking up the ladder, Mesabi slamed it down, knocking him out. Onix by North White, on Flickr Onix by North White, on Flickr At once, he became aware of the alarms blaring. "Security Breach, Security Breach." Cried the monotone alarm system. He ran towards the door. Onix by North White, on Flickr "What do I do? This isn't going as planned!" Mesabi yelled into his helmet. "Find the Computer system and unlock the following doors:" Onix by North White, on Flickr *Meanwhile, on the upper level Gardens." Onix by North White, on Flickr "That's weird...." Onix by North White, on Flickr "Woah!" Onix by North White, on Flickr *Splash* Onix by North White, on Flickr "Where am I going! this place is huge!" Captain Mesabi yelled. "Go left, right, left, left, right, and get into the elevator." Hailey radioed him. Onix by North White, on Flickr "Aw man, they have a bowling alley! we don't even have one on Orinshi!" "Stay on target, now run forwards, and jump out the window." Onix by North White, on Flickr "What?!?" "Just do it." *meanwhile* "The Infection is getting worse. I'll expect some results by the time I get back." Said Doctor Long. http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=137990 Onix by North White, on Flickr "YAAA!" Onix by North White, on Flickr *SMASH* Onix by North White, on Flickr "I'll do the best I can but," *THUNK* Onix by North White, on Flickr "What was that?" Dr. Long asked. "Beats me" answered the scientist." Onix by North White, on Flickr "I really hate Mondays." Said Captain Mesabi. FIN Hope you liked this weeks build(s) I hope I didn't break any rules, I just wanted to get a lot of the story knocked out. Thanks to Dannylonglegs for letting me use her charecter. I hope you liked this weeks build, if only one of the vehicles can be judged, please do the Octan tanker, and thanks for viewing!

Big Sal Posted July 25, 2016 ... if only one of the vehicles can be judged, please do the Octan tanker We'll happily judge as many vehicles as you can build! It's only stuff you've used before that shouldn't be judged If you have time, please consider re-posting the pictures at a larger size - that way we can see what you've built much more clearly (I can tell you how to do it if you're not sure) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EpsilonEta Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Another massive build and a lot of story! And you have already mastered the “Andromeda stile” storytelling too! Glad you joined our team (and the game). Just don't burn yourself out (I would have made this story in three parts ) As Sal said, we judge everything new in the build. But I don't see any land vehicle thou. In short the Spaceship tag is for spaceships, airplains, submarines and other things that travel in three dimensions. The Land vehicle tag is for cars, boats, mechs and other things that travel along the surface. (Hovering things are land vehicles and flying mechs can be spaceships but they don't get both tags) Oh, and remember to add an exploration tag whenever you have an outdoor scean. (we need to keep up with octan who get resources for every indoor scean) Edited July 26, 2016 by EpsilonEta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mesabi Posted July 26, 2016 The land vehicle is the tram that Dr. Long is on. And thanks for telling me about the exploration tag, didn't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EpsilonEta Posted July 31, 2016 Sorry it took so long to notice but you can't build on Onix this week. You posted so early I didn't see until now there is an alien fleet on Onix this week. (or rather, I feelt this build was from last week when ther wasn't a fleet there) As the entire story take place on Onix I would suggest we just change the coordinates to F09 and leave the rest as it is. We can say they stole the Octan shuttle in that System. (alternatively you could remove everything after the shuttle theft and post it next week instead. You could keep a backlog of builds/photos to use when you don't have time to build in the future) It's up to you and if I hear nothing I just change the coordinates. Sorry again.

Mesabi Posted July 31, 2016 Dang, could of sworn the alien fleet wasn't there when I checked. Change the Coords to F09 than please, Story wise its still on Onix. No idea what to do next week though... When will we know when the Alien fleet moves again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EpsilonEta Posted August 1, 2016 The position of the fleets are given mid day on monday but the map doesen't update untill the scores have been posted. (which make it easy to miss) The aliens will likley move next week (~66%) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dannylonglegs Posted August 5, 2016 Awesome story! The action scene in the beginning is awesome, and the station infiltration is great! Confused by the guy falling in the pool, but it's funny! I'm sure Dr. Ling thought it was just some volcanic rocks falling on top the tram. Sorry I didn't catch the Onix fleet thing sooner. Great job! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mesabi Posted August 5, 2016 Confused by the guy falling in the pool, but it's funny! Great job! ~Insectoid Aristocrat The guy falling in the pool was confused because the water had run out, since the wanter tanker hadn't fueled the base. Probably shouldn't have made it so confusing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
