woofmcmoose Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Location: H03 - Kaalin Tags: Building, Spying Previously on Andromeda’s Gates... ...and now the conclusion! OPS Prometheus Docking Bay Alpha “Hey, cargo offload. Thumbprint here please!” “What have you go for me?” “As per the manifest…..” “…..parts…..” “Check.” “…..technical crew…..” “Check.” “…..and four mushrooms.” “Awesome, I love mushrooms!” “Me too, thanks!” “No problem.” OTS Deuterium, outbound to Anomaly H03 Note: OPS Prometheus not to be scored as it was last week’s build! “Ok so we got away; but what exactly did we do? Other than look at a space station and deliver some droids?” “The droids have been programmed to carry out a deliberate misalignment of the station reaction control system, they will then reformat their memories and reinstalled the basic OctanSoft operating system, leaving no trace of our handiwork. Adjusting station RCS alignment… Complete. Reformatting… : Format complete. “Ah the subtle irony of MANTIS buying OctanSoft then using it to bring down Octan!” OPS Prometheus, guidance control room “Sir Station alignment is drifting beyond nominal parameters.” “Well don’t just stand there, correct it!” “I’m trying sir, targeting claims to be nominal but we’re still drifting.” “Dammit! Ok, shut her down.” “And you took a spacewalk because?” “Ordinarily a loss of station alignment would trigger an automatic shutdown, not anymore.” Ah, here we are. …dull sound of mechanism turning heard through spacesuit… Now to install this shunt in the main override fuse. That should keep the station firing for a few minutes before it burns through. Right, now I just have to find that idiot Moose. “The failsafe override I installed should keep the station at full power for at least two minutes before it’s fried. Octan will soon learn the price of stealing fire from the gods….” “Sir she won’t shut down, the override isn’t working.” “What?!” “It’s no good Sir, we’re still firing” “Eagle base, this is Prometheus, initiate shelter protocols. Code Foxtrot-Oscar-One. Beam is wandering and we are unable to shut down.” Octan Power Receiving Station Eagle, Kaalin “Roger, Foxtrot-Oscar-One, all human personnel retreating under the dish.” “Prometheus, we are personnel safe but you’re cooking the ground! Shut down now or the refinery is toast!” “We’re trying Eagle, but can’t shut down!” ...BOOOM!... Moose: “Wow, we’re pretty Mean and Nasty!” “Yes, yes we are.” The end to last week's spy story. Hope you enjoyed it and the various flashbacks/scene changes weren't too confusing! I had great fun making the corridor scene: The whole thing is build sideways than uses headlight bricks to attach the ceiling and floor, with a channel down the roof centre for the lights: Quote
Orange Leader Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 The corridor looks cool. Microscale explosions got me a chuckle. Quote
SpacerSteve Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Another great story. I liked all the hatches and stuff on the exterior of the station. Quote
goatman461 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 awesome corridor and cool idea with the shunt. kind of rude though Quote
Andromedas Gates Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 The judges awarded you 5 points. Quote
LucasLaughing Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Oh man, I can't believe I missed this one earlier - excellent space station, and I like the idea of the power beam being misaligned and causing damage on the ground (I feel like that brings back vague memories of SimCity disasters). Also, great work on "Evil CLAPPIE" Quote
