Location: D04 Magrathera Tags: Military, Civil The moment that all some have been waiting for (part II)! Continuing basically where we left off… ============================================================================================================================ *static* Begin Log, Chapter 1, Part 016, Nu’q: I’m…sorry. *Gunshot* (Note, real gun, not blaster, thus blood) Beltar and his friends were forced to retreat….being pursued by Madame Kawashita. Nu’q activated a com beacon for any Kawashita Guards around to converge on their Location…Kawashita Dark Ops was very, very close by. Jeb: Come on, come on! Quickly now! Dang, Dark Ops! Beltar; Yeah, yeah yeah, my arm is gushin’ out blood if you haven’t noticed! Robin: Shoot. Kraig: We are surrounded! Jeb: Everyone stop. Just wait. All of them would be branded criminals in Kawashita…if they weren’t already. Jeb: I’m sorry, but- *Poof* Beltar: Screw Octan. And Mantis. And Kawashita. Lauren: That sonuva- Robin: Look my friends, a mustache-man approaches. Beltar: Doctor Markam, and your little slave, Mr. Petere. Markam: Silence. I helped save your life! The LEAST you can do is respect me! Beltar; Like that’ll happen. Markam: Disarm them. All of the guards near them grabbed all of their equipment and threw it in a pile… Markam: Madame, would you please remove Lauren from this… disturbance. Madame Kawashita: As you wish. Lauren: Wait, wait! WAIT! Sonja! Beltar! BELTAR! Sonja: … Beltar: NOOOOOOOO! You’re a monster Markam… Markam: I know. Lauren: BELTAR! Markam: Time for Kraig. Kraig: What, what, what, Doctor, we can work something out? Hehehe? Markam: You will be reprocessed. And perhaps re-brainwashed. Kraig: …Si-… Beltar: Please…Spare him. Markam. NO, you know what, now I need to set an example. ARCHER, on your knees. Robin: No need to push mate! Beltar: No. You don’t have to do this Doctor. Markam: You have pushed me to the extremes. Robin: It was a…memorable journey to say the least my friend. Good-bye. Beltar: Ah screw my life. Good-bye. *Blaster Shot* Beltar looks at the body, wondering if he is next…. Markam: Alright come on you fool. You’re going to finally await trial… Sonja: I…I’m sorry….I…didn’t realize what would happen…Forgi- Beltar: I will never forgive you. Rom. Or even Rod. Nu’q gave a nudge because of a datachip in his hand… Nu’q: Beltar, keep moving. Beltar: ….Thank you…..my....friend… Nu’q: Move along. That chip could be Beltar’s way out. Markam: Get someone to clean that up fool! Dark Guard: As you command. Close Log, Chapter 1, Part 016 kszzz ============================================================================================================================ Back to extra pics! Thanks for reading this new installment in Beltar’s story. Basically, Beltar is screwed right now, every ally except Nu’q is gone….I can't believe I just 'killed' Robin... Hope you liked the build and story. I’d like to say that some of this story included what Nuck character would actually do in this situation (No, he did not suggest killing Robin.). As always, C and C welcome! ~Beltar

Location: F10 Arium Major Tags: Science, Land Vehicle // PERSONAL DIARY // ED-208 and I had finally narrowed down the location on Arium Major to a fairly specific spot. We decided to really get it to a narrow location we needed to head out on foot. I grabbed the detector and he kept an eye out for trouble. After a few minutes we reached a beach and the detector started going crazy, we had found the spot! Except it was just some turtles. I put down my detector and picked up one of the cute little fellas. Even ED-208 admitted they were "surprisingly non-murder inducing". The little guy didn't seem to mind me handling him and I even thought of grabbing one as a pet. But I also wondered how the detector had shown such a strong signal from this spot that just had turtles. It wasn't possible that the listening posts had been sending the signal right to these little cuties! ED-208 asked me if I was aware of the sound the turtles were emitting. At first I thought he was joking as everyone knows turtles don't make any sound. But then he said it appeared to be at a frequency that would "negatively impact the human brain, most likely causing delusional hallucinations." I laughed and told him the little baby turtles wouldn't mess up my head, that maybe the sea air had caused a malfunction in HIS brain! That is when he said "Oh, maybe these guys can tell us what is going on. I bet the noise summoned them." And as I turned I saw Dr. Long standing there with ... a panda? I asked "What are you doing here Dr. Long? And what is up with that panda? And why are you shooting flames from your hand?" ED-208 then said: "Yeah, no way those baby turtles mess with your head!" I wasn't sure what he was talking about or why he was being so glib when there was clearly some sort of weird situation here. I mean, I can't ever remember Dr. Long having a PANDA! Extra Pics:

I be disappointed in ye, Eshey. Ye truly believed we be eatin' those cute and cuddly animals? Ye be a sick and disgustin' lass! AYe kliK, eSHey, It'S LiKe KliK i DoN'T evEN klIk knoW whO Ye bE kLIK anYmORe! How was I supposed to know that we were only going to be chopping down the animal tree for wood to make a ship? Arr...that's because ye be lackin' vision, Eshey, unlike me hearty matey, Normal Guy! Why is Ethel the figurehead! She be wardin' off evil spirits, lass. Don't ye know anythin'? What? And why are we even wearing these pirate hats? Where did we even find them anyway? We didn't even pay for the personal equipment so we don't get the benefits! They be found on the ship. That's why we be wearin' 'em. We built this ship! There should be nothing to find! Speaking of which...why did we even build this ship? We be searchin' for the island of mushrooms! They be perfect for our sausages! I don't even.... And not just any mushrooms! These be special types that be growin' bottles of fermented mushroom juice! KliK aYE, siR! Mushrooms that grow bottled fermented mushroom juice...what in the actual.... Where did ye think we learned how to make bottled ale and grog, lass? Nature, of course! LAnD kLik HO!!! There are so many things wrong with this picture. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Meanwhile, on the conflict planet of Guinevere, M.A.N.T.I.S. agents are preparing to leave the planet. Alright team, the Astroglide is here. Let's board and move onto our next assignment. Mosquito ate a box and died, hee hee hee hee heeee heeeeeee!~ That wasn't funny the first time, and the thousand times since! Mephistobutt wants a hammer to the crotch! Hee hee hee! That's Mephistopheles! Stop hurting yourself. Ow! Stop hurting yourself. Ow! Holy mother of avocados...children, get on board now! Sir, I'm closing the rear ramp door. We'll be lifting off in ten seconds. I'm punching in the current coordinates of the Axle, based on our intelligence. Good, let's get out of here. Mistress, how are we supposed to infiltrate Octan space and board the Axle to find your brother? First off, Cassandra, the Astroglide is black like a ninja, so no one should be able to see it. Second, it is designed to slide easily through any holes in the enemy fleet's formation. Thank you for the explanation, mistress. Approaching the Octan fleet, sir. An Octan transport is approaching. Now for the real test. We'll see how easily she glides through. They don't seem to have noticed us, sir. Excellent. Now locate the Axle and prepare to insert ourselves. Yes, sir. Based on the photos my brother uploaded, I've prepared clothes that will disguise us as Octan employees, so we shouldn't draw attention to ourselves. Oh, we are dressing up, sir? Yes, Scooter. Scooter, what happened to the clothes I gave you? I thought you said we were getting dressed up? You mean this isn't an anime convention, sir? Next: More pics under the spoiler tag. -
Dan is currently traveling as a passenger aboard a MANTIS cargo frigate headed to A06. The ship is empty right now,and without cargo it just looks like a large metal frame. When the cargo is loaded it is put in large, vacuum proof containers which are then magnetically secured to the metal beams that make up the frame of the ship. Heres a close up shot of the command module and the secondary engines. I didn't have much time this week, so this is all that I managed to come up with. C and C are appreciated

Location: C10 Tags: Science And so it seems that only the purple beans are any use for laser enhancement – the red and green ones Starstriker's been bringing in all week are nowhere near as good. Unfortunately, we’ve only found two plants on the entire planet that produce the purple ones… …and someone destroyed one of them, so this is the only one we have. I see it still hasn’t grown any more beans. No sir. It may be an annual crop. That’s not good enough! Inject some awesomnium serum to speed things up. I’ll be back tomorrow. The next day: What…? Yeah, when we woke up this morning all these new bushes had grown. No sign of beans though sir. Well, it’s a start I guess. I’ll come back tomorrow. The next day: How…? The serum’s definitely accelerated the growth of more plant, but… No beans? No sir, sorry. There better be some tomorrow, or you will be sorry. The next day: What the…?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! --- Thanks for reading! Pics of the lab exterior below because I forgot to work it into the story C&C welcome!

Location: F10 Arium Major Tags: Science, Land Vehicle // PERSONAL DIARY // ED-208 and I had managed to process the data and it all seemed to point to Arium Major. A planet I had been on before, but one that seemed to hold new allure as we pondered what we would find. I had tasked ED-208 with our transportation on the planet while I had worked out the details of getting there and had set up a signal tracking system that would help us better pinpoint where the signals data bad been going once on the planet. In what I would term an overabundance of caution, ED-208 had selected an Octan defense vehicle with 4 heavy anti-armor missiles. It seemed like it would be a bit much, but he pointed out that with Arium Major's largely oceanic surface the tracked vehicle would be most useful on sand and any other terrain we encountered. Which was a very valid and well thought out notion. Once on planet we set off with ED-208 driving while I used the signal locator to give us a direction. It was rather difficult to track the signal since the vehicle only had a driver's seat and I was forced to hang on. ED-208 said it was a simple oversight on his part, which seemed odd since there is only the 2 of us. But we went on and I could feel a thrill run up and down my spine as the signal got stronger and stronger. Soon I would have answers for Dr. Long. And she would be so proud of me!

Location: C10 Tags: Science, Vehicle, Land Vehicle Stop here Schmidt! Those are the plants we're after, I'm sure of it! Yes sir! Don't mind the birds. Shoo! These are the ones! I'll start adding them to the laser, you go pick some more. Just one more pair Schmidt! Excellent. Yes sir! But, uh, what is it? What?? I explained this to you on the way! This is the next generation of laser technology: Legume-Amplified Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Or, as I like to call it, the Laser Bean! Get it? Uh, yes sir? *Sigh* Come help me set up the target so we can test it. Here we go, this pineapple I brought will be the perfect target. Uh, it looks familiar somehow sir... did you sculpt the leaves or something? Nonsense! I don't know what you're talking about... Now, Schmidt, prepare to witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational... HEY! GET AWAY FROM THERE! SHOO! Damn things have eaten half the beans! Still, let's go ahead and see if it works. Ready Schmidt? Yes sir! FIRE! HAHA! DIE LONG! What was that sir? Uh, I said, 'that didn't take long'. But we need more beans to make this a viable weapon. Let's pick some more and take it to full... HEY! Don't worry sir, I'll get them! No, Schimdt, wait! FOR SCIENCE! YOU IDIOT! Oh no! Damn it Schmidt! You're walking home! Thanks for reading! C&C welcome!

Location: G10 - Onix Tags: Exploration, Land Vehicle In the last episode: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=114245 In this episode, our heroes are still on Onix.... Alright! Now that we each have a fish, it's time to move on. KlIk YEs, sIr! So we're heading back to the ship to cook the fish for the crew? You still have much to learn, Eshey. Getting the fish is just the first step in the process. Process? I thought we were just getting food. We're not just getting food. We are collecting ingredients for the perfect sausages. I...what? I.... HONey klIK IT'S oKAY. YOu wiLL KLIk unDERsTANd. I'm not your honey! What we need to find now is an animal tree. A WHAT?! Here's one! I...I think...my...brain just broke. Animals aren't supposed to grow on trees!!! I'm disappointed with you, Eshey. What do you have against sustainable agriculture? I have nothing against sustainable agriculture! I have everything against things that don't make sense! SIr kLIk, mY HoNEy KLik dOEsn'T gET It. Well, not everyone can be a superstar like you, Normal Guy. Not only will the fish be part of the sausages, but we needed the fish to chop down this tree. I THOUGHT YOU WERE TRYING TO BE SUSTAINABLE!!! And how do you chop down a tree with a fish?!?!?! Time for me to demonstrate my family's fish technique for chopping down trees. Watch and learn. KLik yEs, SIr! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Meanwhile, on the conflict planet of Guinevere, M.A.N.T.I.S. agents have discovered the whereabouts of a Kawashita mobile HQ... No wonder the Kawashitas have been so coordinated lately even though we couldn't find a base nearby. This also explains where the unexplained artillery strikes originated from, given the auto-loading heavy mortar on the back. Hee hee hee hee! Kill? Not yet, Neko-chan. I want that HQ in one piece and their commander alive. Simon, commandeer the HQ and take care of that hardsuit. My name's not Simon. Fine fine fine. Mephistopheles, lord of the 1337 H4XX0Rs, commandeer the HQ and take care of the hardsuit. Yes, sir. Uploading trojan now. There, the HQ is ours. Targetting the hardsuit. HQ? My sensors show that your weapons have locked onto me. Is something wrong? I've been locked out of the controls! We've been hacked! SAYA! MOVE!!! HQ? SAYA NOOOOOOOO!!! Red alert! Everyone, we are under attack! Search the perimeter! Cassandra. Yes, mistress? Neko-chan. Hee hee hee hee? Go. There's one! I see her. She's...unarmed? There's another one! Wait. What? Is that who I think it is? Nevermind that! She's charging us! Hikaru, get over here! On my way! I...I can't control my body! Me...me neither! Die. Ichiko...I've...I've always love you. Oh...this is awkward. I've always found you annoying. What? Where did she get that hammer from?! Shoot her! Shoot her! She's too fast, I can't hit her! HEE HEE HEE HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! FUN FUN FUN!!! H...hurk... Ooeouehhes... ooooooosuusu... too...fast... eeaaaaaaaass... You! Stop right there! Hee hee hee hee play? You'll pay for that! Sleep. What? So...drowsy...what...zzzzzzz... Excellent work, team. Check the perimeter, I'll foward our coordinates to the recovery team. I'm sure the intel from the commander and the mobile HQ will help us push the Kawas off this planet. And we've put an end to those artillery strikes. [beeping sounds] Hold on, team, I'm getting a priority transmission from the chief accountant. Chief accountant? Pombie here. How may I serve you? [Female voice] Commander Pombie, sorry to interrupt you during an assignment. No worries, sir. We were just cleaning up. [Female voice] Your brother, Pombe, has become...a nuisance. I see. He has always been bothersome. [Female voice] I need you to take care of him. Consider it done, sir. [Female voice] Good. I need you to clean up this mess. Yes, sir. [Female voice] Talk to you later then. [Click] Scooter. Yes, sir? We need an immediate evac and dust off for a new assignment. On my way. Don't you worry, brother.

Location: H06 Farmolis Tags: Science // PERSONAL DIARY // With all of the unknown activities going on lately and the news of alien fleets suddenly appearing I knew that I needed to get to the bottom of my mystery. Who was putting out all these listening devices and why? Dr. Long trusts me and I have been letting her down. I had a bunch of data but needed some serious computing power to try and make sense of it all. So I headed back to the Axle above Farmolis and took over one of the computing centers. Some of the other scientists were unhappy that I was utilizing the whole room for myself, but I told them I was doing vital research for Dr. Long. Whatever beer recipe or research on rocks or whatever they were doing would have to wait. I was attempting to solve an issue that could keep our corporation or possibly entire species safe! I didn't need any of our oPads (Octan Personal Assistant Device) or oMacs (Octan Miniature Assistant Computer System), but ED-208 still insisted that he would guard them and keep anyone else from using them. I know he was trying to be helpful so I let him. I'm glad they installed the new reclining chairs with the multimonitor setup. We used to have to sit in regular chairs like some sort of primitive ape! These new seats are much more comfortable. ED-208 again suggested that we should be researching weapons so that whoever is trying to spy on us will get what they deserve. I pointed out to him that we first needed to know what we were up against before we worried about a solution. But he is right that once we figure out the who, I'll need to have a suggested course of action for Dr. Long. I know the safety of all her employees weighs heavily on her mind. If we could even figure out a main planet that these devices originated from I could send some drones to scout it out. And if ED-208 and I could eliminate the threat I'm sure Dr. Long would be very grateful. I bet she would hold a special dinner in my honor and I'd get to sit right next to her!

Planet: G09 Tags: Science (Edits by JackJonespaw) "Log date 415, this is Dr. Danielle Long. Continued inspection of gravity and temporal anomalies on Greater Drigo has led our team of scientists to discover a large facility of some sort in the badlands of Drigo. You'd have thought out earlier drone surveys would have spotted this, but the anomalies have interfered with their readings. We've begun gathering perimeter intelligence, and next week we will move in on the facility in full force. In the meantime though, all we can do is examine it from afar. Perhaps when we get inside, we can get to the bottom of these bizarre phenomenon, and turn them into lucrative products for Octan." The facility is hollow, and can be fitted with lights as such. The light was held by a Minifigure in this case. Dr. Long to be specific. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Location: A08 Tags: Science, Vehicle, Land Vehicle So all you need to do is head towards any signs of life. Smaller creatures can be collected by the arms and brought aboard for study. If you come any plants or larger creatures, just drive straight into them. The M.A.N.T.I.S. Death RollerTM will cut them up and send the pieces through the scanning bed where they’ll be automatically analysed. And if we come across any Kawas, sir? Well, we had to cut some corners building this thing. It’s entirely possible that the brakes could fail and lead to a ‘tragic’ ‘accident’. Understand? Heh heh heh, yes sir! Sir, I’m picking up a small life form nearby. Excellent, let’s go get it. Got it! Good. Bring it into the containment area. It doesn’t look particularly promising. No. But it’s clearly an infant. Run the life cycle simulator to see what it’ll look like fully grown. Simulating… I don’t think this is what we’re looking for sir. It doesn’t seem to be dangerous at all. But it is giving off an intense low frequency sound wave. Maybe a distress call? Maybe. But I hardly think we need to worry if more show up, they’re clearly harmless. Ah, this is the life, eh Schmidt? No CEO nonsense to worry about, just driving across an alien planet doing science! There’s nothing that can stand in our way! Uh, sir? What? You might want to see this… Damn it! Sir? We’d better stop. Although… Uh, sir? *Sigh* Yes, stop the engines. Sal, what the hell is this monstrosity? It’s my new mobile lab. You authorised it, remember? But you cut the budget in half. That’s why it looks so ugly and doesn’t even have a roof. Roofs are expensive Sal. Anyway, what are you doing with it? We’re looking for dangerous creatures we can harness to drive Kawashita off the planet. And the reason you have to be here is, what, precisely? Uh… Damn it Sal! You’re CEO now, you can’t keep wandering off all over the place. Especially not to planets we don’t even control! Oh, but it’s fine for you to come here chasing after me?? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! --- Thanks for reading! Apologies for the picture quality, I'm still wrapping my head around a new camera and lighting setup.

Location: H08 Sinden's Run Tags: Science, Octan, Civil, Space Vehicle // PERSONAL DIARY // One of our ELINT vessels picked up a weird signal coming from the Sinden's Run region. I'd been working on the weird listening posts and thought it might be connected. I asked Dr. Long if I could go with ED-208 to investigate and she agreed it would be for the best. She had seemed tense lately. Well, more tense. Every time I went to her office to discuss a theory about the listening posts with her she acted very tired and weary. Clearly she was worried about this and I needed to get to the bottom of it! Knowing that we would need to pinpoint the signal's source I launched one of my new astrodroid's to locate it. Within a day it had found the source and using its gripper claws had clung to it. It was very close to the object so it was hard to tell what it was, but it looked a lot like an asteroid. I wasn't sure what we would find, but since it was in space and I was likely to want to get a close look at it I decided to grab one of our Octan space suits so I could be free to inspect it. ED-208 grabbed one of our space maintenance craft and modified it with "essential equipment". I noted that simply was a heavy gun and he stated "that will solve any issues we come across." I asked how it would help if I had a leak in my suit or something and he insisted it would "fix it, don't worry." He must mean he could salvage parts from the gun to render assistance. As we arrived I could see it was not a natural asteroid, it was simply made to look like one. It even had fake Awesomnium deposits on it. ED-208 suggested we destroy it immediately. I said that we needed to analyze it to see what clues it had. I offered that once it had been analyzed by myself and others at Octan that I would submit a request that he be allowed to be the one to properly dispose of it. I know his mouth piece doesn't allow for it, but I could swear I saw him grin. Extra pics:

Builder’s note: While building this, I was researching a good design for a bed/bunk, and lo and behold, soccerkid6 posts a gorgeous Cat B entry with a bed/bunk design too good not to steal...so I stole his design. Tags: AG, Octan Aboard the Axle… Thanks everyone for coming. We’re here because I wanted to give you a tour of our new personal transport ship, the one built for us to deal with the threat from Andromeda’s core. Don’t we already have a personal transport ship? Yeah…that one sucks. Here’s our new ride! No, it doesn’t look like a giant bird ate a box and died. Kerling meinfretr bqllr! No, it doesn’t look like that either. Why is it black? Isn’t our primary color white? It’s so nobody can see us in the depths of space. Sir, space combat takes place over tens of thousands of kilometers. Nobody actually sees their targets in space, we detect them via their energy signatures or other non-visual means. Sue, have you ever seen a ninja? Stop, don’t answer that! Don’t listen to him! No, sir, I can’t say I have. Ah crap. That’s because they wear black. I see. Hello! That doesn’t make sense! Why can we see the ship then?!?! Anyway, here is the cargo bay, where we can store our vehicles and alien specimens, and it can serve as transport for personnel, as well. Right now, it is carrying two dreadnought suits that Big Z build for us. You climb up this ladder to reach the second level, with access to the cockpit… …a control center, a restroom, a kitchenette, and four bunks. This ship has plenty of room for the six of us! Six of us? There are only five. Oh, that’s right, let me introduce the new member of the team, Normal Guy. hELlo Klik! Wait, what? He was following me around the Axle, and I decided that I should take him under my wing and help him find a girlfriend. Ethel’s already shot him down, so I figured I’d try with you and Sue. HeY kliK LADieS! He’s all yours Eshey. No no no no no no…he gives me the heebie jeebies. Oh, you two have already become intimate? I dated a girl once who gave me the heebie jeebies, I had to go to a physician to get it treated. You should get it looked at. What?! No! That’s gross! Yeah, the heebie jeebies gave me all these sores on my… No, I meant he’s not my boyfriend! No need to be embarrassed, Eshey. Just make sure to put up a sign and we’ll give you privacy in the bunks. KLik AW yEaH!!! Anyways, I’ve already decided on a name for our ship. The O.T.C. “Gear”? Blatqnn beiskaldi bacraut? It’s going to be something stupid. The O.T.C. “Mojito Madness”! Let’s get on board, everyone, and take her out for a test drive! Next:

My good old friends…Ha-haven-haven’t talked to yall in a wh-while. I got nothing to live for at this point. I’ve been betrayed by Kawashita. Dumped here by Octan. And MANTIS caught me in a bad mood.

I didn’t have time nor a good enough Idea for category B…So I whipped this up as fast as I could, also the reason the picture quality is worse… Hope you liked this build and story! Even if the story is definitely shorter than what I've done before like Tappudansu, at least there's far less pictures! And as always, C and C welcome! ~Beltar

Dr. Munroe -- we received the following from Agent 867-5309 (Codename: Jenny); but sadly she has missed her last 3 check ins and we must consider her currently MIA and likely lost: Report: Delta-Bravo-38.Jenny -- I know we have long wondered about Octan's seeming lack of ELINT (Electronic Intelligence) vessels. The numbers have never added up that a corporation of that size would have virtually no ELINT assets, and I believe I've discovered why. We all know Octan loves robots and acquiring new companies. It seems that both of those things factor into their supposed lack of ELINT ships because they actually may have vastly more ELINT capability than we could have ever feared. I've discovered that they are hiding these ships in plain sight! After Octan bought out Universal Package Syndicate (UPS) and their entirely robotic delivery service it seems they took a portion of those vessels and refitted them. The outward appearance is mostly unchanged from the normal delivery vessels and they still are autonomous, but now the cargo area is used for 4 ELINT analysts and a Senior Analyst. This is likely the case for other companies they have absorbed as well. The modifications are significant enough that the vessel is almost factory new, but still appears to be of the same vintage as the other "regular" ships from the outside. The ships are able to blend into the background as everyone simply takes them as robotic cargo delivery ships and no one suspects they secretly contain some of the most advanced data gathering and analysis systems available. I was unable to get an upclose look due to security, but I believe I even saw an APGAR-97 "Cyclops" installed which would confirm that it exists! My work here continues to go unnoticed and I've even been promoted recently to have more responsibilities - they have told me I will have up to 4 robots working for me. I will continue to attempt to gather further info and try for more details on how widespread their ELINT fleet is. At a minimum I've seen 3 different UPS ships and now that I know what to look for I will try to determine what other ships may have been modified. Jenny Confirmation:: 993.Victor.Charlie Extra Pics: Doors that open! The interior is meant to be cramped kinda like a submarine I'm surprisingly smug to be in such a tight space Doors open... Doors closed... Overall view

Tags: Science, Flying Vehicle/spaceship Location: G09, Greater Drigo "Log date 409, This is Dr. Danielle Long. Drone inspection of Greater Drigo has uncovered several "Unidentified Anomalies" one of which is clearly a spaceship. The vehicle itself appears to be recently made, but it's design is identical to those used by humans from the 20th, 21st, or 23rd century (I'm not a history buff. I'll leave the dating to the Axle's experts.) Regardless, this is an ancient human vessel, but it's recently made... the object is completely abandoned, and there is no sign of activity in the area for years... drones in the area have also detected bizarre gravity and temporal anomalies in close proximity to the Object. This certainly calls for further investigation. Dr. Long signing out." Flight mode This is the second neo classic space themed MoC I've built, but it won't be the last. You'll see many such MoCs from me the next few weeks as I begin hosting "Blacktron Mafia" (sign ups open in a few days!) I am pretty pleased with this spaceship, but as always, criticism and Critiques are more than welcome! Better pictures are up. It's impressive how much difference a little light can make! Extra picture with a model (who looks suspiciously like Jebediah) in the (finished) cocpit. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

This contact better be worth it….The smell is getting to me. Computer: Well, you have met them before. Jebadiah: Are you sure the man is coming? Robin: He will my friend! *Loud Noise* Beltar: *Cough* COMPUTER! THESE ARE YOUR CONTACTS! REALLY! I UNDERSTAND ROBIN, BUT HIM AGAIN! Beltar: So just how did you guys host this escape? Jeb: Your computer contacted me, and told me to contact Robinhood here. We then had some…inside…help. Robin: That is mostly correct! Beltar: There we go. Little trace. Computer: Wait. Beltar: Huh? Jeb: ? Robin what iz it robot! Computer: Wait. Computer: I’m getting 2 AIs’ in the vicinity. One is deactivated. But… Beltar: WHAT? Are you certain it isn't you? Computer: Affirmative. The other one One is active. Standard protocols mean that they should be deactivated before being thrown into the recycling plant. *Random Noise* PauL: Ksskkzzz…Orders Revived. Beltar: WOAH, PAUL? WHAT? WHO OPENED THOSE? *All say not them…* PauL: Hello there. *Random magnet clicking and coming from the trash on the other side* PauL: My designation is aPauLo-14. You killed my cousin. Prepare to be caught. (Or Die) Beltar: What. The. Absolute. H*ll. Computer: I think we should leave. Robin: Agreed. Jeb: Agreed. Robin: I will hold him off. Go my friends! Beltar: But.. Robin: GO! PauL: You are very brave archer. Foolish. But brave. Robin: Ahaha! PauL: Surrender. Robin: Never. PauL: Very well then. Such a waste of a possible asset. Robin: … PauL: Eliminate Him. Madame Kawashita commands it. Close Log, Chapter 1, Part 013 ============================================================================================================================ Thanks for reading this installment in Beltar’s story! Hope you like the build and story! Oh no! What will happen to Robin? Anyways, I spent the extra week working on SoNE and the PTV Contest, so this isn't as great as I had planned...And the story was more of a filler for what was going to be "Alone Against K.A.W.A.S.H.I.T.A.". And as always, C and C welcome! ~Beltar

Location: D04 Tags: Science Yeah, I’m just experimenting with this new scanner technology. It’s good to get out of the office and actually do some science. I don’t know, I guess I didn’t realise how much paperwork was involved in being CEO. Less than you’d think. I don’t even have the key to the Executive Bathroom! Right? Apparently Lady K never gave hers back and there aren’t any spares. I’m sure I saw Dave Daring coming out of there the other day though… Shhhh! No, I thought I heard something. Probably nothing. So how's the wife? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! ---- Only had time for a very quick one this week!

Location: F10 Arium Major Tags: Science, Octan, Civil, Land Vehicle // PERSONAL DIARY // After last week's discovery we had our drones looking for other anomalies. As it turns out there was one found in the shallow waters of Arium Major. ED-208 and I grabbed an Octan brand High Speed Dual Occupant Water Craft (OCHSDOWC for short). He wasn't happy about being on the water even though I had coated him in Octan brand High Performance Robot Sealant. When we arrived at the location of the device I asked if he would rather stay in the boat with his Octan brand Personal Floatation Device for Robots, and he said it would be for the best. Given that ED-208 wouldn't be with me I brought along my Octan brand High-Definition Underwater Camera to take pictures with. The new scuba gear and fins I had brought along also helped immensely. This device seemed to be capable of both acoustic listening and water composition analysis. I'm not sure what they were looking for in the water. I'm not even sure who "they" is! Once again all I could do was upload my data to Octan HQ and await further instructions. Having found a second device I'm sure they will be more interested in who is placing these devices and why.

Location: Ertauq, EO3. One of it's moons. Tags: Octan Mining Facility. The blazing sun cast it's piercing rays over the bleakness that was one of Ertauq's moons. Tsalu's trained eyes stared ahead of him at the two figures moving toward him. They were Octan. The word tasted bitter in his mouth, and felt like spitting on the ground twenty or so feet below him. His hands tightened on the rifle in his hands. He should do it now. He should kill them while they were too far away to harm him. But he would not. He had patience. He had power. He would wait until they were close enough to see their killer. Satisfaction passed sweetly over Tsalu's tongue. He did not smile, but his eyes danced with the sheer joy of his power, and the juiciness of his revenge. Octan would die, and he would be the one to kill them. They were closer now. To them what he was standing on looked like any other robotic-powered mining post. They would learn the truth in due time. Tsalu placed his helmet on his head, and raised his weapon. The sight of the two troopers between the cross-hairs sent a shiver up his spine. If only Octan knew whom they had left alive. Tsalu Ateyok would not be meddled with. The first soldier didn't have a chance. He was down before even the report echoed over the hills. The second might have, if he had had better reflexes. But he didn't. Tsalu hit him in lower torso. Deliberately, of course. The second man was still squirming when Tsalu reached him. Tsalu removed his helmet, staring at his man. The man's eyes were full of an unspeakable fear as they stared at Tsalu, and his hands groped at the ground below him. Tsalu's mouth twisted into a smile. “You heart now knows what it feels like, to be powerless. Remember that feeling. You will go into the void with it.” The last words he spit. His emotions were getting the best of him. But the man was no longer looking at him. In those few moments the fear had left his eyes, and a determination entered his eyes. Tsalu watched him, a feeling of uncertainty starting to move through him. Suddenly the man dove for his weapon, probably inflicting a huge amount of pain on himself in the process. Tsalu's reflexes snapped him into action, and he yanked up his rifle only to see the man point his weapon behind him. That's when Tsalu remembered the carton of uranium that had been left near the facility. His eyes widened. In one last, desperate effort he flung his helmet into what he estimated was the path of the shot. He missed. Next thing he knew a raging heat consumed him. He let out one last, despairing cry, then he was consumed. The fires raged on. To be continued?... Da build. And the main Pic. Thoughts? Yes, he's an alien. But he's dead now. I hope that is exceptionable. :) Can an Admin please change my title to: '[M-EO3] Taste of Death' Thanks! Soli Deo Gloria & Sola Gracia!
