Big Sal Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) Location: G07 Hennigan II Tags: Land vehicle, spying Previously... Just admit it, you're lost. I'm not lost! I'm just not exactly sure where we are, or where the Octan outpost is. But the woods seem to end over there, so let's head that way. Ah hah! Told you! That's a guy in a mech, not an outpost. Yeah, but I'm the master of natural charm and quick wits. I bet I can smooth talk him into telling us where the outpost is. And then we can download those maps we need. Follow my lead... Greetings fellow employee! Ssssshhhhhhhhhhhh! Can't you see I'm catching butterflies?! Oh... yeah... obviously. Errr.... why? I'm after the rare black-bodied orange-wing! It only emerges from deep in the woods for a few days each autumn! That doesn't really answer my question... But anyway, we're just a couple of Octan workers who have lost our way - could you point us in the direction of the top-secret outpost? What am I, stupid? You're quite obviously M.A.N.T.I.S. spies! Every Octan employee on Hennigan II knows how important catching the rare black-bodied orange-wing is! Listen you- Uh, Long? There's something on your head... Oh wow! It's the rare body orange... black... thing! That you were talking about! Don't be an idiot. If a real rare black-bodied orange-wing was on your head, you'd know about it. Trust me. No, I think this really is one! Maybe it's like a baby or whatever! Ugh, fine, I'll have a look, just to shut you up. Now Long! Get him! What the- So much for smooth talk. Hey, it worked didn't it? And now we have an Octan disguise AND a mech. And sorry guy, but unless you want a real beating from Long here, you'd better tell us where the outpost is. sniff... fine, it's due north, about ten minutes in the mech. You M.A.N.T.I.S. folk really are mean and nasty. Yeah, yeah. Say, what's that noise? Butterflies! We need to run! Ooh no, I'm sooo scared of some butterflies! Er, Sal? I think he might be right... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh! A rare black-bodied orange-wing! I'm starting to think I should have taken my chances with S.P.I.D.E.R... Thanks for reading! C&C welcome! Those with long memories may recognise this as an homage to shmails' awesome build from week 2, where he came up with the great design for the giant butterflies. More pics in the spoiler.

Mesabi Posted October 30, 2016 Very nice build! I really like the walker, and the scenery is great too. What did you do though, steal all of your LUG's flower stems? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Professor Thaum Posted October 30, 2016 Funny built... I love the octan employee duty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boxerlego Posted October 31, 2016 That is a Neat Build Big Sal! Nice Little Mech Suite, But help me out here real quick, I think this build represents a Piracy build rather then a Spying one but I'm still left thinking does it represent both? Any Ideas on this would be Great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mediumsnowman Posted October 31, 2016 I understood where the butterflies were from as soon as I saw them... I've been around here for far too long. In all seriousness, excellent build! I really like the deep grass and the blur effects when they take over the mech. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Sal Posted October 31, 2016 Thanks for the kind words everyone 11 hours ago, Boxerlego said: I think this build represents a Piracy build rather then a Spying one but I'm still left thinking does it represent both? Any Ideas on this would be Great. You're right that stealing the mech would count as piracy, but since MANTIS/I don't get any bonuses for piracy, I didn't bother to tag it with that. It's a spying build because they're gathering information, in this case the location of the top-secret Octan outpost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
