Haha another funny HHH adventure. Love the lansdscaping here, man.

Awesome vehicle with great greebling and details. Also gotta love that landscape!

Site 51 Aeristus - 3185 In the initial flyover, Koro surveyed the lay of the land. He could see the bizarre... void... where an ancient awesomniumgenerator from a vanished and ancient civilization had once stood. Koro was tasked to track MANTIS movements after a (short) time recovering and adjusting to his new prosthetics. But he had never expected to find this. He'd read the report Aeralure and Operative Q had filed about the lab they'd discovered underwater on Sorn. Everything in their description, especially the weird tile pattern marking the terrain, checked out with what he was seeing. He had to conclude that MANTIS was studying the site, trying to figure out how an ancient alien generator had disappeared on one planet and appeared several sectors away, on an entirely different planet. Koro didn't like thinking about the implications. Quantum Physics made his robot brain need beer. He landed the Zero mk II "Less Than Zero" a distance away from the MANTIS base and decloaked it. He could only keep it cloaked for short periods of time, and thankfully he'd been able to avoid any MANTIS patrols thus far. He could see their patrol fighters and heavy-duty ATVs crawling over the place, appropriately insect-like. He emerged from the LTZ in his brand-spanking-new Spy Suit and decided it fit pretty good and probably made him look cool, too. "Hey Narbilu-sama... thanks for the new threads. I look awesome." "Koro! Have you reached Aeristus?" "Of course!" "Then never mind how you look. Those credits weren't spent to make you look amazing and heroic like some kind of super space ninja. They were spent so you could get a closer look without MANTIS knowing." "Right. Gomen nasai! I'll get right on it, Narbilu-sama." Koro focused the Spy-Eye in his suit's sweet ninja hood, and zeroed in on the far away MANTIS landing pad. He noticed the Type 8 Aphid gunship... he noticed the two heavily armed MANTIS troopers... he noticed Wilhelm handing something to some MANTIS guy he'd never seen before... "WAIT WHAT!?" "What is it, Koro?" "I think I found Wilhelm, sir. He's... he's handing off a data packet to a MANTIS agent." "Well. That explains some of the security leaks we've had lately." "But this means he's betrayed us, Narbilu-sama." "Koro, don't get distracted from your mission." "But... honor demands that I---" "Wilhelm's day will come." "Sigh..." "Find out what you can about the Site and whatever MANTIS is learning. Then get out of there." "I could cut his head off and no one would know..." "Koro..." "Sigh... okay, okay. Wilhelm's day will come. Koro out." Builder's Note: So I hope the subject matter of this build doesn't step on any toes, but I felt like it was appropriate to not forget about Wilhelm as a character in spite of his player's... switch in loyalties. To have him as a traitor to Kawashita makes the most sense, but I'm leaving his fate open-ended until it's clear what Goliath's intentions are for him (if he has any, that is). In any case, Kawashita has to respond to a defection as being essentially a double-cross due to the sensitive information a defector has access to. Because this is a game, there are no hard feelings, but it does present an interesting opportunity for some solid RP drama and this build/story is simply an attempt to capitalize on that in the spirit of the game. Hopefully there are no objections to this. Thanks for looking!

Beautiful terrain and presentation as always, Mark. I also dig this vehicle, it's one of the best of the MANTIS bug-like whips going around.

That ship is amazing. You got so much room inside for how small and compact it looks, especially in the larger backdrop. Very cool hangar too! But what's that brown armor piece the one guy is wearing?

Very cool chair, but better you than me when it comes to aliens mucking around in our heads!

Awesome ship and throne room. Very fun aliens too.

Very cool effect, but you should put an unfiltered photo in a spoiler box just for fun next time.

Awesome. Another funny and inventive build from Octan. You guys must be drinking special water or something.

Hahahaha that's awesome. Poor Kawashita comrade, though.

Nice vehicles and fun fig posing once again. I wanted to ask, though, if you had the pieces to do more textured terrain? If not, that's cool, but it would help bring your MOCs up a notch.

Amazing HQ and underground part. Very impressive scale here. Also love the presentation of the dialogue between the two MANTIS spies. Also, your guys' recruitment poster (SpacerSteve's signature) is hilarious.

Wow. Great ship and monkey-spider robot!

Love that giant foot. What a great way to start this off. Fun story and great figs as always.

Nice work. Great micro ships. I would do different colors next time, though, as the grey ships are a bit hard to spot against the terrain. Unless.... that's intentional?

Don't count Raven out, Turtle. She's like Boba Fett with all the tricks up her sleeve. She's also the best undercover agent Kawashita has! That vehicle is amazing and as I told ya before, the presentation and storytelling in this build are top knotch. I also love seeing Koro wandering around kicking megablocks all on his own!

Great creature and I like the unique look of your sigfig's outfit.

Great landscape and very cool vehicle with a unique structure.

Haha this is pretty funny, and what a great vehicle. Love the folding design of the cannon. Poor moon.

Another slam dunk vehicle, Bob. I love that it's similar in theme to the Landship, being sort of a mobile base as well as an all-terrain land vehicle. It's got such great design and details, I dunno how you do it!

Looks like Guilds of Historica has invaded Andromeda's Gates haha.

Awesome scene and mech. Love how clean and functional looking your take on those Octan pipes is too.

Gotta see some close-ups of this one!

Hey, a cameo from a Mobile Frame Zero Chub. Nice! Mobile Frame Zero is how I came out of my dark ages, actually. Great build all around, too.

I love all the uniqueness in your KG builds, Robuko. Sometimes I feel like your sigfig is off on his own doing all this long range exploring with very old technology and one day he's going to come back to headquarters and freak out over all the new gizmos. :D What I like so much about this is that your builds alone out of all of AG have that old school 50's science fiction novel feel, with the outrageous titles and cover art.
