Kawashita Embassy Manor Angornal - 3185 Tags: Spying, Special Operation Koro was definitely more at home running around some backwoods planet with sword in hand and head on fire, but every so often Narbilu-sama tricked assigned him a mission that looked safer but felt more dangerous than a thousand angry space worms. When he was asked to infiltrate a gala being held at the Kawashita Embassy on Angornal, he expected to be sneaking through air ducts with Beltar or strapping on a jetpack and bringing death from above with Raven. He did not expect to be wearing a suit and ceremonial sword. He didn't expect to need a date, and he certainly didn't expect that date to be the Mechanic. "By the way, you're going to have to tell me your name." "Why? Isn't this supposed to be undercover?" "Well, sort of. But I'm not exactly inconspicuous. Look at me. People who know people are gonna know who I am. And I can't introduce you as "my mechanic"... or can I?" "Hey, I'm not your mechanic. I'm the Mechanic." "Great, yeah. That's what we'll tell people." "Ugh. I'm never going to hear the quasaring end of this am I?" "Nope." "...it's Bonnie." "Your name is Bonnie?" *METALLIC SNORT* "Oh shut up and focus. I'm Bonnie, you're Koro, and we're hear to mingle with some high-ranking Kawashita bureaucrats who are suspected of colluding with MANTIS agents, or possibly being agents themselves. We need to be on our toes!" "Speaking of toes, are you up on your tippies or what? You are not this much taller than me." "You can thank the quasars who invented heels." The retainer at the entrance checked her holodisplay for "Koro and Guest". She gave a curt nod, which Koro knew she would. Bonnie The Mechanic gave a small sigh of relief. "Wait... Bonnie. Is this your first time infiltrating a party or something?" "Ugh. Your hair looks stupid." "Don't change the subject. Also, I look suave." "It is not my first party, Koro!" "That's not what I asked." "Ummmm... I don't have to answer your dumb questions. Let's just go and catch spies or whatever!" "Okay but Bonnie?" "What?" "Stop squeezing my hand so hard. They're made of titanium and that still stings." "Oops. Sorry." Builder's Notes: -Just a quick one from me this week, but I'm satisfied with the fact that it continues to show more sides of Koro and what can constitute spying. -Some may question whether this is a "spying" build in a strict sense of the word, but I feel like being too narrow about that will let all spying builds be too similar. If you've seen a spy movie, let alone James Bond, then this sort of scenario should be familiar and definitely fits into the general context of spying as a result of story accompanying the MOC. -Thanks for looking!

That's a great creature. Good to see Narbilu-sama getting his hands dirty again too, haha!

[K - C06] "I'm Sorry Beltar, But I'm Afraid I Can't Do

Beltar goes rogue again! -
Very nice vignette, Brik. Like the shape of the ship and the angle.
-
Those trees are super cool!

Hardhearth... Hardhome... that's just a coincidence I swear.
-
The residents of Hardhearth, a once proud and independent Mitgardian village, have taken to their boats in flight! They flee in terror down the riverways south of Nordheim, hoping to outrun the Algus menace that has descended upon them. The escape is haphazard and rushed, with little room on the boats for even those who make it. Some swim after them, hoping desperately to get away. Others grit their teeth and do what they must, to save the lives of friends, neighbours, and comrades stricken by the curse of the Algus. And the scourge? They stand resolute, watching, a haunting reminder of an evil moving ever southward. One of their leaders, the Horned King, personally bears witness to the flight of the Hardhearth folk. His lieutenants and berserkers and cryomancers leer at the humans beneath their forest of icy blades and pikes. Only a lone goodwife, armed with a bow, summons the nerve to look back at them what drove her and hers from their homes. Her hands shake with what she tells herself is merely the unnatural cold, but her gaze does not waver.

Haha. I'm pretty sure it would survive that. Very flattering, Sal. Thanks! Thanks Garmadon! Thanks mrcp6d. That's a great compliment to receive! Thanks for noticing the text, Kodan! I tried to make it fun. Thanks David FNJ. I admire your builds a lot so that's nice to hear!
-
Thanks. Yeah. I hear ya. Thanks Dragonfire! I'll post a pic of the scope rig later too. I forgot! And thanks for noticing the critter. Simple works, I guess, but I was getting jealous of all the cool creatures Octan builders tend to include so I thought it'd be fun to have a spy being spied on, even if by a monocular crab. Thanks Kai! Thanks Garmadon. The lava is supposed to be flowing out of the rock formation. My notion there was that the black rocks are the oldest cooled magma, with lighter colors for newer rock covered in the ash of previous small eruptions. Basically, a whole landscape of tiny volcanoes. Not sure how much sense that makes geologically, though. Thanks Turtle! Do you mean the frame or the scope on Koro's gun as seen in the pic with him in it? Thanks mrcp6d. I like to think I'm improving. Thanks LJ! Thanks snowman! Holograms need never die. Haha. Answered! Thanks SK.

Assuming it's capable of being flown in atmo considering it's size and aerodynamics, though.
-
Hilariously, that mech looks like it's being piloted by a MANTIS trooper and it actually looks like it's about to get the (unlikely) drop on your sigfig. One of those "darn it, turn around!!!" situations.
-
Hahahaha.
-
This is amazing!
-
Such a neat and funny idea for a fighter, Beltar!
-
Very nice looking. Has an official set feel too.
-
Nice story, landscaping, and vehicle.
-
Very cute ship for MANTIS. Some nice parts use too, with the popsicles and Man of Steel guns.
-
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! My favorite build from you Sal, and that's saying something!!!
-
Another great build, Ep. Photography technique, micros, and sweet HUD special effects!
-
Nice choice with a story to go along with the ship! I really like it, reminds me of VTOL gunships from stuff like Mass Effect and Halo!

Oakley Canyon Mynderis - 3185 TAGS: Military, Special Operations Wilhelm, still helping MANTIS yet still wearing Kawashita colors in case anyone was watching, argued dryly with the MANTIS scouts. They didn't want to believe that the Awesomnium vein was where he said it was, so he brandished the E-paper map he'd stolen when he'd defected. He pointed to a spot in the complex series of canyons, passes, ridges, and valleys. The scouts were sceptical anyway, and insisted on checking and rechecking it. Wilhelm was already impatient, but now he was getting angry. He didn't like being out here in the open. Oakley Canyon did not have as much cover as he would have liked. And he was right to be worried. Kawashita colors or not, Wilhelm's defection was well known among Kawashita Operators. Koro should know, since he was the one who'd discovered it for himself back on Aeristus. Koro leaned back on the rocks of his perch. He dug in his sidepouch for a special round, but he held off from loading it into his rifle. "The intel was good, Narbilu-sama. It looks like he's trying to help some scouts find something. My guess is mineral deposit." "Good work, Koro. You're sure it's Wilhelm?" "It's his armor. No one else in Andromeda dresses quite like that, right? All that paint..." "Obviously we need more than that to go on." "I pinged his helmet, which has a heavily modified friend-or-foe system. One of a kind in Andromeda. It's him, sir." "And I have a shot..." BUILDER'S NOTES: -I understand the sensitivity of potentially killing off another player's character, even if the character has been replaced with a new one. Because of this, I am leaving Wilhelm's ultimate fate (for now) a mystery until or unless Goliath reappears and clarifies his plans for the character. It could be some kind of tracker bullet Koro is about to load, and anyway he doesn't take the shot that we see and I made this choice because I think it would be mean for me or anyone to decide what happens to Wilhelm beyond a certain point. At the same time, I made the decision to contextualize Goliath's change of companies and characters as at least partially a defection from Wilhelm (because that makes interesting story possibilities, as you can see in the two builds I've made in reaction to it). Basically, I'm making this note to make sure everyone understands that I'm just trying to tell an interesting story and not looking to hand out ultimate fates to anyone's characters without their permission or anything like that!
