Location: E01 - Donwarr Tags: Spaceship, Land Vehicle Dramatis Personae: Previously: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=129901 Currently, on Donwarr... So let me get this straight: you're asking me to beat another pilot in an illegal spaceship race? When you put it like that, it doesn't sound so great. But you have to understand she's been ruining racer participation and our profits! And as the coordinator for the Kawashita Underground Racing Circuit, or KURC for short, I needed a way to resolve this situation. I was desperate, Sue. So what exactly happened? She just showed up one day and beat everyone. No one can beat her, and she's claimed that she won't leave until she loses. All of the other racers are too afraid to take her on. You're the only pilot I know who has what it takes to beat her. Sigh. It's not like I can turn you down when you ask for help, Shaniqua. I owe you so much for this. You did have it shipped over, right? Yep, she should be there waiting for me. How much further are we? Note the road is recycled and should not be judged. Note the road is recycled and should not be judged. It's just up ahead. There! There she is. And she's stolen all the hot guys, too! Note the road is recycled and should not be judged. Ishmael? You know her? Yeah, she's my wingman at Octan. It figures. Hold on. Ishmael? What are you doing here? Note the road is recycled and should not be judged. Sir? I should be asking you the same thing. I hear you've been tearing it up on the KURC. I've always been into underground spaceship racing, sir. It was what I did before I joined the Merchant Confederacy. When I got wind of this Kawashita circuit, I couldn't help myself. I even pulled my old racer out of mothballs and fixed her up even more with my Octan salary. Well, I've been asked to take you down, and I'll admit, now that I know it's you, I'm getting a bit excited. I even brought my own ride. Then let's do it. First one to go around the second moon and back wins. Winner gets the loser's ride. I hope you're ready to lose, Ishmael. That's my line, sir. I've always wanted to take you on. Then line them up, ladies. READY? GO!!! <ENGINES ROAR> Comments and criticisms are all welcome!

Location: H03 - Kaalin Tags: Spaceship, Land Vehicle Dramatis Personae: Previously: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=128910 Currently, on Kaalin... Hombre, you're here, too? Do you know why he asked us to gather here? And do you know what the deal is with the pirate hats? You know what...nevermind. I don't even know why I bothered asking. It's not like you've ever spoken to me, anyway. <VRROOOOOOOM VRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!> What in the avocado? Is that a giant rollerskate? Avast, me blind four-eyed wench! This be me precious pirate booty! Come! Touch the booty! FEEL THE BOOTY!!! RIDE THE BOOTY!!! ARRRRRR! WE BE SEEIN' YE LATERS, WENCH! <VRROOOOOOOM VRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Meanwhile, somewhere in space... It's too bad you didn't join me at Kawashita after we left Galaxy Squad, Sue. Kawashita wouldn't promise me the freedom I need. That, and I couldn't find a manager there who didn't have a personal agenda. You always needed your freedom, Sue. I guess that's why everyone followed you the way they did. But some followed me to their deaths. Sue... Anyways, enough about the past. What was so important that you needed my help? Well... Comments and criticisms are all welcome!

Location: G10 Onix Tags: Civil Building ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Boss? She's here." "You sure took long enough. Bring her in." "Silvia Kramer. Allow me to welcome you to my home, or at least, one small part of it. I hope you will enjoy your stay." "Save the pleasantries, Girault. You know my husband will be coming for you." "We'd better get down to business, then. Jason, would you do the honors?" "With pleasure, boss." "Now, now, Silvia. You shouldn't struggle like that - you've gone and gotten yourself a nasty bruise. This way, please." "Please make yourself comfortable, ma'am. We've got a lot to discuss." "Girault, you know Viktor. He's not going to let you get away with this." "I'm afraid he'll have no choice. Just this last week, we completed the installation of a new sensor relay station. If any ship comes out of the Gate, I'll know right away. Besides, no luxury cutter has the firepower to breach our defenses. "Humans have been in the business of inflicting pain on each other for such a very long time, but when the victim struggles, it can make a torturer's work so much harder. Awesomnium has provided us with an invaluable aid to this process. "This syringe contains an awesomnium-based solution that I think you'll find most interesting. We bought the original from a fellow called Laszlowe, from M.A.N.T.I.S. It was supposed to serve as a long-lasting sedative, a hibernation drug. But it didn't work quite as planned." "I - I - I can't move. I can't move!" "But you can still feel, can't you? That's the beauty of it. Your sensory receptors are still firing, but your brain can't send anything back but critical body functions. It's the perfect torturer's tool." "Don't do this, Girault." "I'm afraid I don't have much choice. I need the passcodes for the Kawashita Group's private Gates, and I don't have time to convince you to give it to me. This is quicker. "Also much more entertaining." "No - no, please - no - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Kramer to Variga, good work. I'm through the breach." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yep, we're still pretty dark over here. I promise I'll lighten up in a few more builds. The name is a reference to The Princess Bride.

Location: E01 - Donwarr Tags: Spaceship, Land Vehicle, Civil Building Dramatis Personae: Previously: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=127982 Currently, above Donwarr... Thank you again, Pombe, for being a reference for Lois for her job application to M.A.N.T.I.S.! She just accepted their offer! We're so happy! Chaaachaaaaaaacha! Chaaaaaaaaachachaaaachaaaaaachaaaaa! Note the above build is recycled. No problem! It's been an absolute pleasure working with the both of you! In fact, I'm sad that you have to leave to go back to M.A.N.T.I.S.. We sure could use your help here at Octan. Those are such kind words, I'm so happy, I'm crying! Lois and I won't forget what you've done for us! This is all very touching, but what's this alien doing here?! Our analysis showed that we could save a lot of money on waste management at Octan if we hired Tracy to be director of custodial services. Hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer. Indeed, Tracy. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Currently, also above Donwarr... Note the planet is recycled. Note the Octan speeder is recycled. Captain Damoness, I've finally found you! Shaniqua Yamamoto! Long time no see! Here, have a drink! And please, don't call me Captain. We're not in Galaxy Squad anymore. I'm just Sue now. It's so good to see you again, Captain. Just Sue, please. Uh, sure, Ca...Sue. I'm here because I need your help. My help? Yes! Come with me, we have to hurry! Comments and criticisms are all welcome!

Location: E01 Donwarr Tags: Land Vehicle, Space Vehicle Previously... // PERSONAL DIARY // Dr. Allison and I spent our time in one of the underground water research facilities this week, so we weren't able to do much in person investigation of the mystery ships. But we did do some data analysis and still weren't able to identify who they were. I would hope that they were just random drop ins that were scared off and that they won't be seen anymore... Extra Pics: So I wanted to make a kinda modern sci-fi recreation of the classic Lego style city cars turned into a spaceship, but I think it ended up looking like a boat. Sadly I ran out of time this week and couldn't make it better. Hopefully this week coming up is more productive.

Location: E01 Donwarr Tags: Land Vehicle, Space Vehicle Previously... // PERSONAL DIARY // One of the great things about Octan is that they attempt to be more efficient. For instance we have giant mechs that we have ground penetrating radar and seismic analysis devices in order to more efficiently find things like water on Donwarr. We had established a water extraction site and shipped several mining and research vehicles out to it. We had even set up a monorail to aid the workers in moving about between the various sites. Aboard one of our light carriers, the OCS Artemas Ward, several of our heavy cargo ships were ferrying water from the planet's surface up to the various fleet ships. Most of the water would be consumed, but we also had some marked for scientific analysis. The Ward was very lightly armed, mostly it has enough firepower to scare off smaller pirates. It is used as an escort carrier for the fleet helping to move supplies around with her cargo vessels. Oddly this week we didn't deal with the mystery ships that had appeared the past 2 weeks. But that was probably because I was so busy at work. I bet that next week we see them make a return. Extra Pics: All the various smaller ships and vehicles I made:

Location: E01 - Donwarr Tags: Exploration, Spaceship, Land Vehicle Dramatis Personae: Previously: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=126602 Currently, on Donwarr... Thanks for the lift, Lois! Chaaachachaaaachaaa. Chaachaachaaachaaaaaaaachaaaaaa. Chaaa. <faaaaaaaaart> What was that?! <wet faaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrt> It would seem that the sausages I ate earlier are not agreeing with me. Oooooh...I'm not feeling so well... <wet sloppy ffffffaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrtttttttttt> Chaaacha! Chaachaachaaachaaaa! Chaaachaachaaaaaaaaa! Chaaaaaachaachaachaachaaaaaachaaaaachaaaa! I'm on it, dear! Scanning the ground! There! I found one! It's half a kilometer east of you! Transmitting coordinates, now! I don't think I'm going to make it! <super wet sloppy ffffffffffffffaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrttttttttttttttttttttt> Chaaachachaaaaaaaachaaachaaa! Chaachaacha! Chaaaaaa!

Why is there a toilet out here in the middle of nowhere?!?! And why are we watching this?!?! Hmm...the toilet won't flush. Holy avocados!!! There's an alien! Hyer hyer hyer. Hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer. Your name is Tracy and you built this toilet? It seems to be broken. It's not flushing. Hyer hyer. Hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer. Oh, the handle is just for show. I see. I DON'T!!! Hyer hyer hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer. I understand. Your alien species feeds on the fecal matter of others. So you build toilets all over to collect food so that you can feed. That makes total sense. HOW DOES THAT MAKE TOTAL SENSE?!?!?! Hyer hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer hyer. Hyer. Hyer. Oh, you're hungry? No, go right ahead. Alright, let's leave Tracy to eat in peace. YOU NEVER WASHED YOUR HANDS!!! Comments and criticisms are all welcome!

Location: E01 - Donwarr Tags: Exploration, Spaceship, Land Vehicle, Civil Building Dramatis Personae: Previously: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=125357 Currently, on Donwarr... Thank you, Lois and Gregory, for coming all the way to Donwarr to help Eshey and me test Octan's new unbattlemech. Chaaaaaachachaaaaa. Chaaachaaachaaaaaaaaaa. Thank you for inviting us! I'm so happy to be here helping you guys! I'm smiling so hard it hurts! So, where is it? What's an unbattlemech? Here it is. Sir, I think I've seen that design before from another corporation. Maybe even from two. It looks like either the Ostall or the Locust mechs I've read about. Shhhhh! Eshey, I would like to you unsee that design, unread what you've read, and unknow that you ever knew that information. Anyways, we call it the Unlocust. Also, Gregory, I wanted to thank you for making this very nice paper house for us to stay in during this test. No problem! I figured the field test might take a few days, and we needed a place to stay and relax. You're always thinking ahead, Gregory. And finally, thanks for observing the test from above. I'm always happy to help! I know I can count on you, Gregory. Eshey, are you ready for the field test? Sir? Why are there hexagons on the ground? That's the hex grid. It's always been there. In fact, every map we've ever been on has a hex grid. You've seen the dynamic galaxy map for Andromeda, correct? Are you alright, Eshey? Now, Eshey, push the movement throttle forward and start moving. Uh...nothing is happening, sir. That's because you aren't facing a hex side. You can't move between hex sides like that...at least not with the basic rules. What basic rules?! What are you talking about?! Chaaachaachaaaachaachaaaaaa. Chaaachaaaaaaacha. Chaaaaaaa. Yeah...Eshey's not the most astute employee at Octan. Holy avocados! An alien just showed up! Eshey, no! Firing weapons! <pew pew> I hit it! Wait...why is it still alive? You did five damage to its front left leg armor with your medium laser. Your two machine guns missed, which was expected, since they were fired at long range. What? What are you talking about? I'm saying that you didn't do all that much damage, Eshey. In fact, you didn't even do any damage to its internal structure or generate a critical hit. And even for someone with a gunnery skill as high as yours, hitting something at long range is always tough. That doesn't make any sense! And what are you talking about? Why did you say I only have two machine guns when I count six barrels? Chaaaaaaaaaaa... Tell me about it, Lois. At least you're not her supervisor. Anyway, you need to penetrate the armor to inflict damage to its internal structure for a chance at a critical hit. And three hexes is long range for the machine guns. Oh, now you've made it mad. It looks like it's approaching you. It's too late now, I guess you have to take it down. Try to get behind it so you can expose its rear armor. Hmm...you're going to have to work on your piloting skills. You're not even close to getting behind it. I'm going to kick it! Eshey, wait! Your piloting ski... URK!!! ...ll sucks... Chaaacha. Chaaachaaaachaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Chaaachachachaaaaaaaaaaachaaa. Your flowers aren't doing so well? Maybe they need more water. You can't water paper flowers! Comments and criticisms are all welcome!

Location: E01 Donwarr Tags: Land Vehicle, Space Vehicle, Civil Building, Science Previously... // PERSONAL DIARY // Dr. Allison had managed to predict the mystery ship's path as Donwarr. Fortunately our Octan fleet was arriving there by coincidence! While we were in the system we decided to do some analysis of the local water supply. Dr. Allison went ahead with ED-208 to one of our water pumping stations and began her work. I was glad that we were all back together and it was re-assuring having ED-208 to keep an eye on Dr. Allison. Though she had gained some field experience she was still a bit of a rookie and I wanted to make sure she was safe. Once we had collected some samples I filled a few containers and loaded them into one of our work trucks to haul back to a shuttle. I wanted to send the samples up to the Axle both for storage but also further analysis. While Dr. Allison is a talented scientist and our water pumping station had the ability to do some preliminary scientific analysis we would be best served doing a proper analysis up on the full labs of the Axle. As I was driving to the shuttle one of our fleet commanders informed me that another mystery ship had been spotted. This one seemed less like a dropship and more offensive in nature. They suspected the large circular thing at the front was some form of weapon. And it also appeared to have significant electronic data gathering capability. We'd have to be careful and figure out who these mystery ships belonged to! Extra Pics: I wanted to do one bigger cohesive scene this week. Usually I would do this as 2 separate builds but I wanted to try and make it all one scene. Part of what I like about AG is it gives me a chance to work outside my usual build style and try new stuff!

Location: F03, Forring Tags: Land Vehicle, Spying If our intelligence is right, the aliens should be arriving to meet the Octan delegation any minute now. Yeah. Y’know, I have this horrible feeling I’ve forgotten something… This is so exciting! A new intelligent alien species! Yeah! Alright nerds, don’t get too excited. You’re here to learn quietly – when the aliens get here, let me do the talking. You scientists aren’t properly trained in PR. But how are we supposed to study the aliens without talking to them? I don’t care. Octan needs new allies – I don’t want you offending them by asking how many kidneys they have, or whatever. AHHHH! What the-? Where did that come from?! <Do not be alarmed, humans.> That voice… it’s in my head! <Yes. We speak directly by thought.> Uh, Sal, do you think it can read our minds? Probably not… still, better keep your mind blank. That should be easy for you. Hey! Heh heh heh. Greetings from Octan Corporation! We hope to begin a profitable relationship with your race. May we ask what you call yourself? <Our name is a concept that your minds cannot understand. From your limited perspective, ‘the Five’ would be an appropriate approximation.> Hahaha, it thinks Octan are too stupid to understand numbers! ‘The Five’. My apologies, but is that the name of your race, or the name of you the individual? <It is… challenging… to explain in a way you can understand. Let us tell you the story of our race.> Ugh, I can tell this is going to take a while. <This planet was not always the toxic wasteland that you see around you.> Wait, what? <In ancient times it was a simpler place. Five species lived here peacefully. Over the millennia we grew advanced. But then a cataclysmic event occurred and the atmosphere changed. Dozens, then hundreds, then thousands of new species arose. The ground itself was colonised by these messy, primitive lifeforms that you see around you.> The… plants? <Despite our advanced minds we were unable to compete with the wildly proliferating life. Everything changed too quickly. We had evolved slowly. We were not able to adapt. As our cities crumbled, the last remnants of our races built this vehicle to house the survivors.> So… you are the survivors of all five species? In this one… machine? <As far as it is possible for you to understand, yes.> Uh… right. So anyway, Octan Corporation would be happy to trade or- <We have no interest in trade. We seek to warn you. There is one among the leaders of your Clan of Eight whose mind is more powerful than any other. More powerful even than ours.> I knew it! What? Don’t you see? They’re talking about me! Uh… but they said the Clan of Eight. Yes, clearly they mean the Council of Five, plus the current and past CEOs of M.A.N.T.I.S. I kinda figured they meant Octan… <Already this mind is starting to warp the very fabric of space and time. It must be stopped before irreparable damage is done.> Yeah, I really don’t think this is about you Sal… Nonsense! I always suspected I was special! <Humans! We told you to send three!> We did! There are three of us here. <No. We sense others. From the Clan of Six.> The Clan of Six? <Yes. The ones who take the image of the six-legged creatures.> Uh oh. MANTIS! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Thanks for reading! Sorry it was a bit text heavy - there were supposed to be a few more photos but they didn't come out right and I didn't have time to retake them. C&C welcome

Location: F03 Tags: Land Vehicle, Spying Ok, but... just explain it to me one more time... Unbelievable! This plan is like spying 101, I don't understand how you're not getting it. I've hacked Octan's computers to trick them into thinking they’ve detected a prisoner transport. They’re going to come after you thinking they’re rescuing one of their guys. Right… Redsyn here is one of our best drivers – he’ll lead them on a merry chase but will eventually let you be ‘rescued’. By using the tracking device we implanted in you we’ll find out where their base is when they take you back there. Simple! Uh… ok, I think I understand now. But why not use an actual Octan prisoner? I have… other uses… for the real prisoners. Unless you’d like to trade places with them? No sir! I thought not… But won’t they realise I’m not actually from Octan? No, they’ll never suspect it. I thought you said this was obvious, like spying 101… Don’t worry, our forces will show up well before Octan has time to find you out. This plan is foolproof! Wait… To be continued! Didn't have time to do the whole story this week. The vehicles are based on my first castle sets, 6042 Dungeon Hunters and 6018 Battle Dragon. More pics in the spoiler. Thanks for reading, C&C welcome!

Location: H03 Kaalin Tags: Land Vehicle, Space Vehicle, Civil Building Previously... // PERSONAL DIARY // Mr. Drax was quite impressed with our entire operation. We showed him one of our mobile drilling rigs that allowed us to find Awesomnium veins and extract it easier than digging tunnels. A couple of our dedicated Octan employees were on hand to make sure it all worked properly. We showed him the blast doors we used to keep the whole facility safe. In the case of unexpectedly hitting a gas pocket or other danger we could slam the doors shut and prevent any issues with our operation being put in jeopardy. With the fleet in orbit above the planet I was feeling quite safe and didn't figure I would have any issues with Mantis incursions. But we were alerted to an unknown ship jumping into the system. Before we could get any ships moved to intercept though it had vanished. Luckily one of our ships security cameras picked it up, but the picture that it got was almost useless in identifying the ship. But thanks to the Octansoft "Enhance!" button we were able to improve it: And pressing it again gave us a clear look at this mystery ship: It wasn't a vessel anyone recognized and we couldn't determine what it had even done in system. We would need to analyze what path it might have taken to see if we could follow it and figure out what it was up to! Extra Pics:

Nonsense! Have you seen the mechs Gregory folded for us? Gregory? Where are you? He's right next to us! Apologies. I made my mech in M.A.N.T.I.S. colors, which is predominantly black, so it's naturally impossible to see. I understand. Corporate branding is an important lesson I keep trying to teach Eshey, but she never seems to understand. Thanks, though, for making ours in Octan colors. No problem! I'm so glad you like it!

Location: H03 Kaalin Tags: Land Vehicle, Space Vehicle, Civil Building Previously... // PERSONAL DIARY // After my successful assistance in providing ice for the new executive club that CEO pombe had opened aboard the Axle I had been sent to Kaalin to operate as a liaison for a Merchant Confederate member who would be touring one of our mining operations. Apparently the person coming for a visit was an associate of Bruce Vayne's and was interested in our methods and Awesomnium processing. Given that I had recently been promoted to the 3rd Branch Executive position I was deemed a suitable choice to handle the meeting. Our meeting place was one of our primary ore processing facilities and was near the site or a memorial that had been set up on the planet for the incident tha thad happened in the nearby mines that had destroyed 217 robots and killed 2 humans. The official story was that an unexpected biogas pocket had been encountered during drilling and that a failed safety switch had prevented the robo-drillers from shutting down. ED-208 had told me that from the data files he had been able to access from the robo-drillers before the incident, there was audio of one of the humans voices saying: "Of course it is safe, hell you can drop kick these explosives and nothing would happen! Watch..." I find it very fortunate that the humans were so jovial just before the robo-driller set off that biogas pocket, that way they weren't aware of what was going to happen and weren't terrified. Sometimes ignorance is bliss! The Merchant Confederate space car was small and unarmed, which I took as a sign of the trust our corporation has established with them. ED-208 said at least this thing wasn't some dumb land vehicle that had just been dropped out of a ship. I'm not sure what that meant, but I reminded him to be polite once our guest arrived. Dr. Allison was already down below making sure that everything was all set up for our upcoming tour. Extra Pics:

Alright, sir. I've collected the evidence. Excellent, Scooter. Note: the above build is recycled. Now we have proof that my brother kicked the buckets. Thank you, brother. Anytime, sister. Scooter, prep our ship. I can't wait to show the chief accountant the results of our latest success. Gregory, come, we'll give you a ride home. Thanks for the offer, sir. But I think I'll stay to help your brother out. Afterall, I do have a debt to repay for the rescue from the Zoid. As you wish. Let's go Scooter. Yes, sir. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Later... Sir, we're approaching Arium Minor. It'll feel good to do a good old fashion exploration mission again. What will we be looking for? If we knew what we were looking for, Eshey, it wouldn't be called exploration. I'm so happy that you let me join you to help out! I can't stop smiling! Anytime, Gregory. Oh, there! That's a good spot, just drop us off on top that clifftop, Sue. Roger that, sir. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Even later... So, let's take a look and see what we see. You chose a great spot! The view is excellent! Right? Crap in a hat! Sir! There are angry alien birds headed our way! Missiles are locked on. Firing! Fox one! Fox two! Eshey! No! Those aren't missiles! They're bombs! WHO PUTS BOMBS ON A LAND VEHICLE?!?!?! Bruce designed that bomber you're flying! Why did you drop bombs on us?! They're going to detonate any second! AHHHH!!! WE'RE GOING TO DIE!!! KICK THEM OFF!!! KICK THEM OFF!!! <distant explosions> Oh my avocados. We're still alive. Somehow. I think I peed myself. There's still the matter of the angry alien birds. They're approaching fast. We're in luck! We just happen to be right next to a pair of origami paper trees! Origami paper what? Quickly, Gregory! Build us a paper shelter to hide in from the birds! On it! Great job, Gregory! Are you sure you wouldn't rather work for Octan? I appreciate the offer, but I'm quite happy at M.A.N.T.I.S.. That's Octan's loss. Hey, let's relax on this paper sofa and watch the game on the paper big screen TV. Sounds good. Did you want a paper cold one? You read my mind, Gregory. Comments and criticisms are all welcome!

Location: E01 - Donwarr Tags: Science I followed up on the probe report from last week (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=122452) and lo and behold, I found Dr. Long! She was doing just what I expected her to be doing: science-y stuff. "Dr. Long?" "Oh, hi Jebediah. What are you doing here? My extraction isn't scheduled until tomorrow. There's still plenty of work to be done!" "You've been gone for 2 months! What more work needs to be done?!" "Two months? Interesting. That would accurately explain some of the more bizarre changes to my pod I noticed this morning, as well as the missing rations and the marks of previous excavation on the Artifact... that would mean that I've been performing the same tasks every day for two months with no recollection of having done so. Huh." (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=122097) And then she fainted. "Come on, let's get you back home. I'm sure they'll be eager to check you out in the med bay... (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=122466) or at least Kodan will... anyways, you're not going to like some of the changes that have occurred in your absence. For one, Pombe ditched the Speedo." C&C welcome.

Location: E01 Tags: Land Vehicle, Spying Excerpt from the mission logs of Big Sal: Date: 5 Marzn 3816. Mission Code: F2E01. Location: Octan territory, Donwarr. Mission Objective: Find and sabotage Octan communications equipment hidden in the forest. Excerpt ends. Please slow down Sal! We're sure to hit a tree at this rate! Nonsense! I used to be a pilot, remember? My reflexes are excellent. Fine, but how are we ever going to spot the aerial at this speed?? I'll see it. Wait, there it is! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Excerpt from the mission logs of Big Sal: Mission Outcome: Success - target destroyed. Excerpt ends. Thanks for reading! Not much time for a big story this week. C&C welcome. More pictures of the car in the spoiler.

Location: E01 Tags: Land Vehicle, Spying I don’t understand this, Sal. Why isn’t it moving anywhere? I don’t know, Greene. See if you can hack into their comms. Getting anything? I’m picking something up… but it can’t be coming from the tank. That would be ridiculous. Ugh, you’re useless, let me have a go. This is fun, eh Greene? I told you spying isn’t that dangerous. You’re probably safer here than in the lab! Greene? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Thanks for reading! C&C welcome. More pics of the tank in the spoiler.

Location: E01 - Donwarr Tags: Exploration, Spaceship, Land Vehicle, Strip Club...I mean, Civil Building Dramatis Personae: Previously: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=121965 Currently, aboard the Axle above Donwarr.... If I understand this correctly, your assignment requires me to kick all these buckets. Note: Above build is recycled. That's correct, brother. That makes a lot of sense. However, may I ask a for a favor before kicking these buckets? Of course. I've just received a lot of ice from one particularly industrious employee (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=122442). It would help me a lot to use these buckets to chill beverages for my new endeavor aboard the Axle. Afterwards, I'll kick them all for you. Not a problem, brother. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Meanwhile, on Donwarr.... Sir, all I see are angry frog like aliens. Are you sure there are M.A.N.T.I.S. survivors from the Zoid wreckage? Ishmael, are you flying a PeliCAN or a PeliCAN'T? I'm flying a PeliCAN, sir. Good. John Hannibal has told us that there are M.A.N.T.I.S. survivors from the Zoid wreckage (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=122456) and that rescuing them are a priority. Yes, sir. Anyways, let's ask these angry frog like aliens if they've seen anything. Suuusususuus. Suususususuussssssusuusus. Sususus. Suususususu. What? You aren't actually angry? You are just frog like aliens? Ussusususu. Ssssususuususuususuus. Sususssu. Ususususssssssusuususus. Suususuusus. Oh, you just have "resting angry face"? And you've seen a minifigure recently that also has "resting angry face"? Ssuusuusuusuuuuususu. Suususuususuus. Usususuuususu. Usssssususuususuus. Susuusususssusuuuusuusu. I see, he's just over there. Thanks for the help! I'll go see if he needs assistance then. Hello, I am Beautiful Man from Octan. I'm here to rescue Zoid captives. Are you a crash survivor? Do you need help? My name is Gregory. Sorry if I seem angry, I suffer from "resting angry face". I'm actually quite overjoyed right now at being rescued. I'm transmitting coordinates to a rescue transport right now. I'll stay here with you until it arrives. Thanks! Let me tell you: those Zoid did some crazy experiments on us M.A.N.T.I.S. captives. I thought Big Sal's employee weaponization experiments were brutal, but these Zoid...let me tell you: I actually developed a superpower this time from their experiments. Superpowers? Yeah. Some of us got powers to start fires, or to freeze objects, or to create explosions. Wow. What's yours? Mine is the ability to fold paper really, really, really fast. Here, let me show you. Here's a piece of origami paper. Watch. And now it's a paper rat! Amazing! I didn't even see you fold it! Right? I'm thinking of using the superhero name "Origameister". I like it! You totally should! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Meanwhile, back aboard the Axle, a recently recuperated Dr. Long (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=122466) steps out into a corridor.... <music bass reverberates through the walls> My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, And they're like It's better than yours, Damn right it's better than yours, I can teach you, But I have to charge Note: Above build is recycled.

Location: E01 Donwarr Tags: Science, Land Vehicle, Space Vehicle, Civil Building Previously... // PERSONAL DIARY // I had been called back to the Axle by our CEO pombe. He informed me that he was starting an executive club on the Axle with Bruce Vayne and that he needed me to acquire some very particular supplies. He needed pure, untainted ice from a comet for the drinks and he said that he needed me to also get him some drinks. His exact words were: "Some really good stuff!" As a scientist I know how important being healthy is so I made sure to get a large container of orange juice. Plenty of vitamin C which is really good for you! Pombe had said that this was a vital mission and that he was providing me with the latest stealth ship -- though on my inspection it looked more like a cargo tender that had been painted black. However, stealth isn't my area of expertise so I'm sure I simply wasn't aware of some of the Top Secret parts of the ship. The ship itself was pretty fun to pilot and I got the ice for pombe's new exclusive executive club, so I was sure he would be excited! ED-208 had been sent down to Donwarr to ferry around some Octan employees on one of our rovers. He was annoyed that the rover wasn't armed, but he seemed to enjoy being able to race it around. I told him that it was inspired by a very old lunar rover that wasn't armed and that he should be fine anyway as the area he was in hadn't seen any Mantis activity in weeks. There was a lot of activity on Donwarr actually as Dr. Allison was on assignment to investigate how Awesomnium responded to being tempered at different temperatures. She was working with several engineers and safety folks at an underground lab and said that it was proving to be very interesting work. She enjoyed doing things and not just being stuck in a lab waiting for mice to contract a disease or injecting them with Awesomnium. I was glad that my team was able to contribute to our corporation's success so much! Extra Pics: I know there are a lot of my "stealth ship", but for some reason I overall like the way it turned out.
