EpsilonEta Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Location: B08 Tags: Land vehicle, Exploration. Raven is inspecting the construction of an off shore base. (Mostly en excuse for getting down to a planet after traveling across the galaxy) Small talk One of the technichans is on a break and takes a ride on a jet ski. Michael is trying to start a conversation with Raen who seems to be in a bad mood (but that is hard to tell from her regular expression) So, how was the trial? It was ok. He was found guilty. Not so surprising when he basicaly confessed. The challenge was to determine the sentence for 18 counts of human trafficking and selling information to hostile aliens. Yeah, sometimes a lifetime in prison or death doesn't seem to be enough. That would depend on how the death sentence would be carried out. Throwout history humans have invented all kinds of executions meant to be long and painful. Some of my favorites are crucifixion, burned alive and execution by elephant. Elephant? Yes, the sentenced was crushed by a trained elephant. It was a public spectacle and could be drawn out for some time by... Ok. I get it. Horrible ways to die. Still not the worst ways. Did you know the Zards used to execute people by chaining them to poles and have Karraggs eat them. What's a Karragg? Insect like vermin on their home planet, like rats. If you collect a lot and starve them they can eat a Zard. It would take several hours but if the victims moth was protected they could stay alive for many of them. Ok ok, I get it. And because the Zards most common way of burial was to be eaten by the wildlife it's kind of like being buried alive too. Stop! No more talk about death and stuff. But I haven't even gotten to Vlad the impaler. The origin to the Dracula myth. Did you know he found a way to... Enough, ok! Raven sighs and Michael look out over the ocean. Waaa! What is that? It's called a Sea Dragon, an amphibious predator who can live in water and air. Are you reading biology rapports too? No. I just go through the large or dangerous creatures before I go down to a planet. Then Raven get a call. Raven. We need you back at the fleet. An alien fleet is heading our way. Sure. On my way. Sorry Michael, I have to cancel the inspection. Something interesting came up. Hey look at that. I found something Raven enjoys I knew she liked military history and now I can add torture and execution techniques thru history. Maybe she was telling the truth back then. Hope I wasen't to macaber. I left out some of the worst parts. Some extra pictures Edited March 30, 2016 by EpsilonEta Quote
Junior Shark Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Soooo many flick-fire missiles! The use of that piece elicits mixed emotions from me. Of course execution is just a normal small talk conversation for Raven. NPU with those blue diver flippers on the dragon, very tasty. Quote
VK-318 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Awesome walkway! Also a very interesting discussion. I would think that being drawn and quartered might rank up there with Raven's three favorites, though. Quote

I have a few flick missiles and wanted to see what could be done with them. Many of the things would probbly look beter with other parts. Awesome walkway! Also a very interesting discussion. I would think that being drawn and quartered might rank up there with Raven's three favorites, though. Had to read about it but yes, it quolify Other, les formal executions/punishements would be keelhauling and cement shoes (or tied to canon ball for pirate stile ). So much to choose from. Glad you like the walkway. It was the first thing I thought of. Quote

rodiziorobs Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Who knew flick-fires could be so versatile? I liked the dialog quite a bit, too. I already have Laszlowe's sentence worked out, although it's not as...exotic...as some of Raven's suggestions. Quote
