[COR-FB1] Mesabi Landing, Fort Agravia

[Mesabi]

Lt. Billsby left the small rowboat and met up with the fort commander in Argentia, Major Mason.

"So, you're the new guy eh? Well, welcome to hades." Said Major Mason

"Excuse me?" Asked Lt. Billsby

"The role of this fort is to keep the WTC from doing anything that endangers the empire." Answered Mason

"And that makes this hades because?" Asked Billsby

"Wait why does the fort not have front doors?" Asked Billsby

"The WTC stole them, because quote: 'Build more ships or something' apparently" Answered Mason

"Let's go to my office."

"So, this is my office. And bedroom. And kitchen. And dining room. I hate it here. Did I mention that?" 

"It can't be all bad." Said Billsby

"Here's a book of emergency procedures to follow in event the WTC does something stupid and or bad. Let me read you a snippet." Said Mason

"Okay?" 

"Code 403. If the WTC is to summon a deity, extradimensional demon, spooky ghost, or the kraken, you are to destroy Mesabi Landing and it's inhabitants." 

"Wait how on would they even..."

"Code 404, huh this is missing. Okay 405, if the WTC is to cause Eslandola to go to war with Corrington, you are to destroy Mesabi Landing and it's inhabitants." 

"Wait how are we even supposed to do that?"

"I'm glad you asked..."

"Recent developments in military science have allowed us to create new more powerful weapons, things that can really, really, do some damage."

"Meet Betty. 400 lbs of Solid murderosity. We figure she should be able to destroy Mesabi Landing from here in less than 10 shots."

Suddenly, a Drunken Horse stumbled out down the road.

The soldiers all gathered to watch as it collapsed.

"Don't worry guys, I've got this, yelled a WTC marine, armed with a pike.

Thanks for viewing this installment. C&C appreciated everyone, let me know if this story is to ridiculous or anything, I kinda think it's pushing it so I might rewrite it.

Well I think the story is quite comical but very fun and entertaining, the build is good but I'd reccomend you texture the ground a bit more as its looking a little bit flat however apart from that everything's great.

I too enjoyed the story! Very much in your previous humorous style - the drunken horse was a great final touch! Hopefully those soldiers will never need to use that cannon - maybe the Governor needs to classify Fort Agravia a hardship posting and rotate the garrison every three months!!

I wont go into feedback on the build as we already discussed it elsewhere. Nice job anyway and good to see Mesabi Landing growing again. I have a feeling Captain Mesabi's delusions of grandeur in establishing a great settlement may be well founded! Keep up the good work.

Mwahahahahahaha, Betty and the drunken horse... I recommand a little bit texture to the ground too !

 

this fort is big enough too add some textured features

[Captain Braunsfeld]

I like the big Betty and that, of course, Code 404 is missing

and now we know what happened to the drunken horse.

 

[Professor Thaum]

I just notice the code 404... mwahahahaha

That mortar , that drunk horse , that Major . This is definitely a hilarious build, though I do like the build as well. There is places to improve and polish but the story and the build do work well. I also must comment on the use of the new blue and white bowl. I am still searching for some for myself, so I am glad to see some make it into builds.

Funny story, 404 is missing, hahahah. I'd like to read more stories like this.

Thanks! Working on texturing ground is on my big list of stuff I need to work on. I would say however, this is a flat beach, so I should get some leeway

Thank you! I wish I could have done more, but college was coming man. That's my excuse today.

I got really lucky in a Ninjago CMF pack. Hope you find some before they kill your wallet. They're going for a 1 USD on bricklink right now, and there's 3 sellers.
