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: F09 Tags: Exploration So here we are, on the planet. Any further instructions? Yes, of course. Follow the river you're next to until you come to the next clump of trees, then take a left, *vzz*SNAP* That'll be about enough of that stuff. Mrs. Galash! Mrs. Galash! We've lost our communication signal! I know that, whippersnapper. And you can call me Granny. Oh... um... then, Granny - how on earth are we going to get to our destination?!? Look here whipper, I've been a-travelling the Gates longer than you've been alive! I think I know how to get where I wanna go. Okay! Just follow me! This has got to be the ugliest planet I've ever been on. What?!? This is the height of beautifulness! I'm not sure that's a word, Granny. It is now! Oh, look! What. on F09. are. those. things?!?! Scientific name: Ophthamospidiphora. I call 'em oogliaymophs. They're ugly, all right. But sooo delicious! You got your gun? They wouldn't let me bring one. You're kidding me. Sent on a secret mission without a gun? I know! That's what I tried to tell them. Well, never fear - Granny's here! I got me enough guns to stock an army. Here - do you prefer blue or orange? They're both black, but... That's what you think! You still ain't used to be'en 'round me, whipper! Well, I prefer blue. There you go then. Now - fire away! Hmm. It is blue. Of course! Now let 'em have it! You know, there really doesn't seem to be much meat on these things. How can you eat them? Oh, there might not be much meat - but you see them there eyeballs? So juicy! I'm tellin' ya, nothin' beats an oogliaymoph soup! --30 minutes later-- Come on, help me stir! ...To be continued!

Location: Arium Minor - F09 Tags: piracy, spaceship (satellite), land vehicle (truck), civilian building (container) We received the information that a shipment of the Zoid´s human slaves is arriving on planet and will be sent to a Kawashita laboratory. We will track the shipment via satellite and ambush the transport at a convenient location and free the slaves! "This is Ali. The tracker was placed successfully. You can commence with satellite tracking." (The Octan truck is recycled and should not be judged.)

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:

You're sure you don't need air support, sir? We're good, Sue. Gregory made us some awesome paper mechs. Alright, sir. Good hunting. Maybe having Sue cover us would have been a good idea, sir. 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! I can't stop smiling! Uh...sir...we seem to be approaching some sort of alien settlement. Who...who is that? She's so beautiful! Wow! I'll say! Chachaachaaaaaaa. Chaaaaachaachaaaaachaaaa. Chaaaaa. Chaaaaaaaaaa. Chaachaaachaachaa. Chaaaaaaaaaachaaachachachaachaaa. Your name is Lois and you're a regulatory compliance officer for an alien corporation? You live here by yourself? Chaachaachaachaaaachaachaachaaaaa. Chaachaaaachaachaaaaachachaaaaaa. Chachaaaaa. Chaaaaaachaaaaa. Chaachachaaachaachaa. Chaaaachaaaaaaachachaachachachaachachaaaaaaaa. Why thank you! I think you are very attractive also. I'm sorry that you are lonely. If it helps...I think I would like to stay here with you. Chaaachaaaaaaa. Chaaaaachaaaa. Chaa. Chaaaachaaaaaaa. Chaachaa. Chaachaaachaachaaa. You'd like that, too? Sir! Permission to stay here with the alien hottie. Permission granted. I'll inform Pombie that you have decided to stay behind in this alien settlement.

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:

Location: F09 - Arium Minor Tags: Exploration, Spaceship, Land Vehicle, Civil Building Dramatis Personae: Previously: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=122481 Currently, aboard the Axle... 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.

Why did the man I accidentally spill coffee on have to be my supervisor? I need to fix the bugs in this extractor quickly or the boss will have my hide!" "The previous engineer who worked here was terrible, look at this mess!" "Who in there right mind puts that there? Oxygen is running low, I'll call the colony and get transport." A little footnote: Hello! This is my first MOC since I left the dark age and it is probably not very good. I felt I'd post it anyway as it was fun trying to build in LDD, the controls were a bit awkward so it took quite a while ! At the time of writing this I am not in the player index so I hope I am not being an inconvenience by posting this now. Sorry for how the pictures turned out, I need to read some more documentation.

Location: F03 Tags: Building, Military (at least I assume a beacon outpost would be considered military), Vehicle, Land Vehicle Please note that there are two elements in this collection of builds that have been reused for story purposes; the yellow speeder and the black and blue ship. So here I am, heading for the nearest Octan beacon as commanded. Great. I've got two guys here to walk you through the whole process. Meet Joe and Paul. Paul. ... ... ...Oh, um, Joe. Right. Paul, Joe - you guys got this. Of course! You seem to be taking advantage of the relaxed dress code, Joe. Naturally! Relaxed everything, if you ask me! Well, looks like you two got this. See ya! You too! - Psst, Paul... are we supposed to tell him that he's going to meet up with his partner at the beacon? I don't think so. I don't know how he'll take it. Okay. What's that? Oh, nothing much. I thought I heard the word partner. I abhor that word. Er... well... Looks like I'm here! Great! Umm - Paul? Right, so... your partner should be there waiting for you. What?!?! Relax! You'll like her. HER?!?! ... ... Well, hey, wha'dy'know! Here I am and I can't see anyone else, so - what do you two say we get on with this? I'm sure I can do just fine on my own! I'm getting her signal right above you. Above me?! ...oh. *sigh* Howdy! Well... that was definitely not what I was expecting. What's that, younker? My hearin' just ain't as good as she used ta be! I was just, er, talking to myself, Mrs. ... Galash. Mrs. Galash. Say! You've got a cool spaceship there! This baby ain't no spaceship, whipper snapper. This here's a 49X RayWing! Right! ... that's what I meant. Of course. Um... nice colorscheme! I know, right! You kinda lookin' like you could use a color update, too! Well, you know, I wouldn't mind a speeder in black, myself! You're in luck! I got just the thing! Um. That ... wasn't exactly what I had in mind. Hohoho! You ain't been around me long! Watch 'n' learn! I call it - the DeLUX! Wow! This is pretty swell! Tell me 'bout it! Only problem is, there's no place for my surf board on it... hmm... You brought a surf board, younker? Of course! You know, that ain't a bad idea! Lemme pull mine out. You have a surf board with you?!?! Be prepared! That's my motto! Whoa! Hold your horses! You two are supposed to head over to <classified>. Oh, right. Hey younker, got your Dom. for Dummies on ya? Domination for Dummies? What do you want that for? I need ta check out whether <classified> has water on it. If not, we might could go lava surfing. I got a lava surf board too, ya know.

Location: F02 Lesser Drigo Tags: Spying, Spaceship With the MANTIS and Octan fleets both in orbit around Lesser Drigo, it was only a matter of time before MANTIS would capture an Octan vessel. The MCS Trade Winds, a Merchant Confederacy ship, was on a supply run to the surface when it was intercepted by MANTIS. The crew was kept for questioning and MANTIS command saw an opportunity to use the vessel to infiltrate the Octan spaceport. They put together a group to pose as the Merchant Confederacy crew in hopes to gain information on Octan's fleet movements. Note to judges. The Octan truck is reused and should not be judged. Hawk: You three stay here. I will go and scout the area and see if I can get into the control tower while they unload the ship. You guy wait for my signal. - Spec Ops1- Hold it there pilot. The base is on lock down. There are MANTIS spys everywhere and you need special clearance to get past this point. Hawk: Sorry sir. I hear those MANTIS guys are vicious thugs. Keep up the goo…. Spec Ops1- That's enough small talk. Please return to your ship. We will be performing inspections soon. Hawk: Yes sir. - Hawk: This is bad. They will be around soon to inspect the ship. They will find out that we are MANTIS for sure. Snake: I say we go in and blast them with our death ray blasters! Sue: Yeah! Hawk: Are you two crazy? Do you know how many of them there are out there? Chogg: Chogg have an idea. Chogg is master of disguise. Chogg: Mister robot man! Could you help me here. Robot: Affirmative. Chogg: Robot is needed in the control tower. Spec Ops2: Sure go right through. Hawk: Wow Chogg, I can't believe that actually worked. Chogg: Chogg given top secret spy gear from CEO - Spec Ops3: Don't move MANTIS scum. You may have been able to fool my partner some how but your not fooling me. Chogg: Chogg has good news and bad news. Hawk: What is it. Did you get the data? Chogg: Chogg got data but Octan got Chogg. Hawk: Don't worry Chogg, we will come to you. Sue jettison the remaining containers. Snake get on the boarding ramp. Chogg Jump now. - More pictures under the spoiler tag Thanks for looking. This is my first attempt at a large ship and I underestimated how hard it would be to photograph. I might still add some more pictures tomorrow. C&C appreciated.

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?

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!

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.

Location: G10 Onix Tags: Building (Spaceship interior), Piracy Note that both micro spaceships have appeared in previous builds and are therefore not to be judged. They are presented here for narrative purposes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When our probe reported the detection of the Octan courier, we moved in. We accelerated to a high speed, then cut engines as we approached thermal imaging range of the target. We would have to be very close before they could pick us up if our thrusters were not burning, and by that time it was too late. I fired the harpoons and made our ship fast to theirs, and, after a few moments of chaos as the two ships, moving in very different directions, adjusted to a single trajectory, we began the docking procedure. Naturally, the Octan ship did not open its airlock for us, but any good pirate ship is equipped with special mating collars on its airlocks that can make an airtight seal against the hull of another ship while the airlock itself is forced. While our two new crewmates and RT3-KU boarded and subdued the small enemy crew, Silvia and I waited at the controls, in case we had to make a hasty exit. No one has ever credibly accused Octan employees of cowardice, but the skeleton crew aboard this courier were far outmatched. It was only a few minutes before the crew was rounded up and disarmed. Silvia and I boarded at once. "Captain, we've captured the captain, the pilot, and a security guard," Zakec, the Red Zoid told me. " 'Er Ladyship is looking for the scientist." "Check the main hold for a cargo crate marked CTK401," I told him. "Get it aboard the Variga." "Aye, aye, Captain." "How did you know we had a scientist aboard? And why do you want him," the pilot demanded. "Are you slavers?" The ship's captain stared straight ahead, the very picture of discipline. I hoped that this incident wouldn't hurt his career too badly -- he seemed a decent man. So too for the young, red-haired pilot, who was trembling with what was probably equal parts fear and rage. I hoped Zakec had not been too rough with her. He did have a reputation. "No." I shook my head sternly. "I've killed more of those scum than you'll ever meet, unless you're very unlucky. Dr. Gregorovich will be returned to his family alive and unharmed as soon as possible." The soldier on her left wasn't buying it. His scowl was probably intended to be unsettling, but it just came off as annoying. "I've found our scientist," Silenia, the alien mystic, said. "NO!" It was the soldier. "You're not getting away with this!" *ZOW!* *thud* "Is he all right?" Silvia asked. "He's still alive, but bleeding badly," the pilot gasped. She was in shock. The captain remained where he stood, his expression unchanged, but his face had paled a little. I nodded. "He'll make it. As soon as we're off your ship, activate your emergency distress beacon. I expect rescue vessels are on high alert, with the Kawashita fleet so close by. The stimpacks in his armor should keep him all right until them. Keep him warm and comfortable until a doctor arrives." "What is the meaning of this?" Dr. Gregorovich had found his voice at last. "Is this some sort of abduction?" I looked him dead in the eye. "Depends on how hard you make it, Doctor. If you come quietly, you can remain conscious. Otherwise, we can knock you out and drag you with us. You will not be asked to take up arms against Octan, or against anyone for that matter. We want some information, and you can provide us with it. In return, you will be well compensated, as will your wife and children in your absence. I didn't want the first casualty, and I don't want any more." "This will be much easier and more painless if you cooperate with us rather than fight us." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Location: F02, Lesser Drigo Tags: Spying Log of Agent G: I can't believe this. I get back from my vacation, and they send me on a spying mission. On Pombe, no less. M.A.N.T.I.S. always has at least one spy on Pombe at all times. We would just bug him, like we usually do, but he doesn't wear any clothes. Oddly enough, this is not the strangest situation one of our Pombe spies has gotten into. But what could he be doing out on this abandoned walkway with a figure dressed in red...? I'M BACK! yay! Sorry for the bad picture quality, camera is not working. C&C welcome, hope it's okay that I used you, Pombe.

Location: F02 Lesser Drigo Tags: Spying, Spaceship, Land Vehicle For being a desert planet covered in lava flows, it was amazing to Hawk that water was the number one resource on the planet. Mantis Command wanted info on how Octan gathered water on the planet and where it was located. A number of Octan moisture evaporators had been found with the information gained from the mining satellite on F03. Hawk was given a semi-autonomous Hazardous Environment Mining Drone from MANTIS command to help him hack into the Moisture evaporator. The drone had been developed for operations on the surface of Torresta, so not even a lava flow would slow it down. - Hawk in his Hornet Gunship lower the Hazardous Enviroment Mining Drone, or H.E.M.D for short into position. - H.E.M.D: Unit is ready to serve. Input Command. Hawk: Alright, cross the lava flow to the evaporator, and hack the controls. You also need to extract a data chip for HQ. - H.E.M.D.: Unit has received commands. Begin Execution? Hawk: Yes, begin - H.E.M.D.: Objective reached. Hawk: Good jod H.E.M.D. H.E.M.D.: Commencing Hacking. Activating laser saw. Hawk: Wait what? H.E.M.D.: Retrieving Data chip. - Hawk: Stupid drone. H.E.M.D.: This unit performed all of it's tasks given. Any error is in the controlling unit. Hawk: I suppose you did do everything I asked of you. H.E.M.D.: I detect two lifeforms approaching. Activating laser saw. Hawk: No wait. - Myserious Native1: Greeting MANTIS warrior. We represent the Flamosian Resistance. Ever since the ones you call Oktann arrived on this planet, they have been setting up their poison machines and driving us from the surface of the planet. Hawk: You mean the moisture extractors? Mysterious Native2: Yes. What you call water is a deadly poison to our kind. Thousands of our kind have perished. Ever since MANTIS has arrived, we have observed that your kind is dedicated to the destruction of the Oktann. We would like to aid your warriors in this effort. Hawk: I wouldn't say dedicated. They just get in our way. I will talk to my superiors. I'm sure they would even help you clean up the deadly poison to. Myserious Native: That is news most welcomed. More pics under the spoiler tag. Thanks for looking. C&C welcomed as always

Location: F03 Forring Tags: Science, Land Vehicle, Space Vehicle, Civil Building Previously... // PERSONAL DIARY // I found myself utilizing the data we gathered last week to try and put our theories into practice. It seemed a little weird that as the currently highest ranking scientist in Octan that I would have to do so much field work myself, but our CEO pombe said that we all needed to contribute. He was also excited to have me use one of Bruce Vayne's new space ship designs. I said it looked more like an old Earth railway car but he insisted it was a highly sophisticated piece of machinery. Though I wasn't filled with confidence when pombe said: "After about 7 Alien Annihilators Bruce came up with the idea for this thing!" Surprisingly it seemed to work though and I was able to find some concentrated pockets of Awesomnium. ED-208 was sent ahead to secure a Mantis lab we had discovered while Dr. Allison was utilizing a new speeder design. Given the state of war between Octan and Mantis she was using a more subtle design on the speeder than was typical. It was a very fast and nimble layout, so I told her since ED-208 was not with her and the speeder being unarmed that she should keep the throttle open just in case. I guess she likes going fast because she said the vibrations from the speed were exhilirating. The Mantis lab seemed to be an experimental lab designed to enhance plant life with various Awesomnium soil and water. They also appeared to be using various lighting sources to try and maximize growth. CEO pombe instructed me that he had numerous uses for this technology and that he hoped we could acquire any scientific advancements and that any gains that had been discovered should be reported to him personally. Immediately. I'm not sure why, but he said Bruce Vayne would be very interested also and that he and Bruce would need a lot of Oreos and Doritos. I guess they were going to be trying some new recipe because he said there would be a lot of baking happening. Extra Pics:

Location: F03 Forring Tags: Land Vehicle, Space Vehicle, Spying, civilian Building An Octan stealth shuttle is entering the airspace over Mantis controlled territory: After being inserted by the Stealth Shuttle, Brickwolf marches to his objective, a Mantis communication tower: (Tower is not to be judged, was recycled from last week.) UPLOADING INTO LOGISTIC SYSTEM: Finished, exfiltrate and get home to a cold beer! Later: The Mantis Logistic Center and warehouse on Forring: Hello, I ´m here to pick up a shipment. Show me the documents! ... A crate of medical-grade refined Awesonium, the best of the best! Priority Shipment too! Octan must have paid dearly for this. I dunno, I´m just driving the truck. How is it, working for Octan? It´s okay, I guess it´s like everywhere, management always finds a way to xxxx you. So true man, so true. We load the crate on your truck right away, so you can be back on the road in no time.

Location: F03 - Forring Tags: Spaceship, Land Vehicle, Civil Building Dramatis Personae: Previously: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=121694 Currently, on Forring.... Sir, I just dropped off the last of the supplies we have to help the people of New Fredericksburg rebuild after the Zoid attack. Note to judges: the ruined city is recycled and should not be judged. How's the resupply going? Eshey and I are on our way to a hardware supplier in New New York, the next Merchant Confederate settlement over. We should be able to purchase tools and building supplies from them to tie us over while we wait for the Octan resupply freighter. Copy that, sir. I'll be heading back to the Shaft then. How much further, sir? It's just up ahead. There it is. Alright, let's see what they've got. Are you sure this is a hardware supplier? Of course, I found them on the OcWeb. Besides, the sign says right there: "HARD WARES". Stop wasting time, Eshey. Let's go. Greetings, I'm Pombe and this is Eshey. We're looking to buy some supplies to help the people of New Fredericksburg rebuild. Hi there! I'm Chastity. Welcome to my hard wares store. Terrible thing what happened to New Fredericksburg. By the way, I like the way you dress. I like the way you dress, as well. What exactly were you looking for? Let me check my list here. Alright, first, I need to pick up some hose. We have plenty of hose: in all shapes and sizes, in fact. Our hose are guaranteed to be the best you've ever had. If you aren't satisfied, we'll refund your money. Excellent. We'll take all the hose you have. Next, I need some flexible tubes. What length and stiffness did you have in mind? They need to be very long and rigid. We'll be inserting them into some tight spaces. Not a problem. We have several long and stiff tubes. Let's see. I need bigger nuts. The nuts I have are too small. Indeed, small nuts are a big problem, but no need to fear. We have nuts in all sizes. I'm sure you can find nuts large enough for your needs. Great! I also need 350 lb screws with long shanks and socket heads. Also not a problem. I can give you all the screws you want, however you want them. Perfect. I also have a lot of cracks to fill with caulk, but my current caulk has dried up. Yeah, I've had dried caulk before and it's not pretty. I can give you all the caulk you need. What else is on your list? A really good stud finder. Finding studs can be challenging, especially the ones that go deep. But I've got a few that will fit your needs. And finally, I need a good stripper, preferably large jugs. Sir! I think this conversation is inappropriate! Eshey? What are you going on about? Um...yeah...you can find the paint stripper on the top shelf of aisle 1. Great. I think that covers it. Don't mind my colleague here. She's not very smart. Comments and criticisms are all welcome! Note to judges: The above build is recycled and should not be judged. Sir, there're too many buckets. They're overflowing. If we got a big enough bucket to hold these buckets, would the chief accountant want my brother to kick that one, too? That might be a wise thing to do, just to cover our bases.
