Very nice! Great job varying the terrain height, and the flecks of grey on the are appreciated. I won't even bother asking why he's riding a horse instead of an Octan-brand hovercycle(TM).

Fantastic build! I love the layers in the rock and the glow-in-the-dark shots. Very clean and well-presented. I'm definitely stealing that bed design for next week.

Location: F03 - Forring Tags: Civil, Building, Spaceship (?) CLAPPIE: "This is CLAPPIE unit OX-247 to control tower, over. Do you receive me, over?" HQ: We receive you, over. CLAPPIE: "Our ship was struck by an asteroid in sector G10. I placed the pilot, Jebediah O'Reilly, into hypersleep as our GATE drive was critically damaged. He's been out for over three weeks, and has been displaying odd brain activity recently. I want a med team waiting for us." HQ: "Affirmative. Please proceed to Docking Bay 3." CLAPPIE: "Landing successful. Brain activity is spiking... get that med team out here!" Tech Guy: "Get that oxygen mask hooked up. I've never seen anything like this. Put him in Room B01. This is out of our league." Tech Girl: "The data from the CLAPPIE unit is indeed unusual. I'm afraid if we don't wake him up soon..." Tech Girl: "...he's not going to wake up." Figless shot in spoiler: C&C welcome.

Oops... I saw the link and just assumed it went to an older build by you utilizing that design... that's what I get for being lazy.

Wonderful, detailed scene! I love the classic space influences, though the splashes of pink seem a bit out of place. Can we get a shot of the big ship separate from the platform? It reminds me of the Ghost from Rebels.

I love those sand green crates! The station's use of color is exemplary, and the engine continuity with previous MANTIS builds is a nice touch.

All my money to Bob! I don't even remember how much I have.

If you like neither, still join Octan!

Octan could really use your help.

Location: F09 - Arium Minor Tags: Civil, Building Aketi Outpost, 3800 AD. Milky Way Galaxy. The top floor of Octansoft Corporation's new headquarters. President Business: "Jebediah, how good to see you. Especially considering last time you were trying to kill me!" Jebediah: "You were never in any danger. I only had to convince my father you were dead. By the time he discovers my deception it will be far too late for the Head." President Business: "Yes, let's get down to business. Haha, business. Gets me every time. Anyways, when we last parted, I believe I made you a deal." Jebediah: "Yes, yes we did. I refrain from killing you- I tell you everything about my fathers organization- you dismantle them and secure me a legitimate job within the Octan corporation. I'm done with the lies, the deception, the killing. I want out." Business: "I am a man of my word and I will get you out. Tell me about the Head." Jebediah: "I was born into it, indoctrinated. My father believes minifigure-kind is ruining our galaxy and the only way to prevent it is to fight fire with fire. I agreed with him, until recently." Business: "What happened?" Jebediah: "I killed a woman named Mrs. Long. She worked for Explorien. She was spearheading a project called the Axis, to explore the new Andromeda galaxy. She had really done nothing wrong. She was a woman with a vision. My father told me she destroyed planets for her project. She was getting what she deserved..." "...I looked into her file afterwards. She had a husband and two children. What my father told me was a lie. We killed her to block the impending merger. So what? The death of one scientist won't delay that more than a few months. What will her family do? What will Explorien do? Her death accomplished nothing- nothing except for pain and suffering. What about the other people on that platform? I will never know their story and I don't really want to." Business: "Go on." Jebediah: "I went back through my own past. I looked at the files of the countless people we've killed. The majority just like Mrs. Long, simple people trying to forge an existence in this crazy world. They did nothing wrong except cross the path of my father. He psychotic. Some of them might have deserved it. But that's not our call to make. My father lied to me, time and time again- he would tell me about a greater purpose, the good we would accomplish. I was young and foolish. I believed him. He used me, manipulated me- and I'm going to bring it down on his head." Business: "What do you need me to do?" Jebediah: "The Head is meeting at a warehouse on the river next week to discuss the results of the Senate's session on the merger. Take them out. I know Octan isn't the "nice" company you claim- throw them in jail to rot forever, kill them- I don't care. I don't want to know. They've caused too much suffering to hang around." Business: "It will be done. I will agree the Head has been a thorn in the side of this fair galaxy for too long." Jebediah: "Thank you. About my job...?" Business: "Yes. After the Explorien merger passes, and it will pass, do not worry, we must make preparations to move into the Andromeda galaxy. I want you to lead the Special Forces divisions. It would be a waste of your abilities to have you sitting behind a desk." Jebediah: "Special Forces...? Are you sure? I won't kill. No more killing. I made a promise. I'm out." Business: *pauses* "Of course. Octan would never ask our employees to do anything they're uncomfortable with." Jebediah: "I appreciate it." Business: "You'll have to undergo a physical before your position is finalized. Standard procedure." Jebediah: "Of course." **once Jebediah has left** Business: "Bob Sr, please make a note in the man who just left's file about his physical. I want the selective memory machine hooked up, codename EAGLE I think, ready to go. Don't inform the patient. I'll undersee the procedure myself." Bob Sr: "Of course."

Krennic would not have been able to get off the planet and thus couldn't report to Tarkin and Vader.

Saw the movie today, thought it was really good, especially the second half. The one thing that bothered me... when the Rebels bombed the research facility, despite taking multiple runs, nobody thought it might be a good idea to shoot at Krennic's shuttle on the landing pad. The send-off with the Tantive IV was fantastic as well.

33 to Bob

All my credits to Bob

Great to see you back in AG. The ship is very nicely designed, with excellent greebling and color use. I really like the two-cockpit design.

Location: G10 - Onix Tags: Civil, Building, Spying, Piracy NOTE**This build takes place during DLL's "Invasive Species" arc from over the summer and takes place between A Conference With the Queen and The Bright Light of Civilization Jebediah steals through the corridors of Ambassador Ba'al Ba'al Jinks palace, and locates the server room. The guards are hilariously ineffective - they might as well not even be there. It only takes a few minutes to bypass the firewalls, as the Oni-Ren never thought anyone would come knocking. Everything there is to know about Ba'al Ba'al - finances, voting records, medical history, telephone calls - now resides on a 1x1 blue disc belonging to the Octan Corporation. Like a shadow in the night, Jebediah vanishes as if he were never there. Extra shot and commentary in spoiler: C&C welcome!

Maybe it's not as rigged as I thought. The prize E manatee is undoubtedly handsome, and I wonder what gifts he conceals beneath the blubber.

Got street-dated on Catwoman Chase and Scuttler at Target today, but the two CMF's sitting randomly on the shelf by City stuff went through. (Barbara and Eraser. I asked about more and nobody had any idea where those two came from ) Ended up with the Lowrider and the before mentioned CMF's to take advantage of the $10 off $50, and I had a gift card. Target is weird.

Very nice building, it looks great at that angle. The legs on the mech are ingenious!

Yeah, please move it to G10. I'll edit the title and header to reflect the change.

MANTIS is trying to invalidate my build? I feel so special.

That's a lot of aliens! The cube is nicely designed as well, great idea for a tech build!

Those eyes are perfect!

Nice catch, I was wondering if anybody figured it out. (DLL doesn't count because I told him the big secret almost a year ago. This arc is taking way too long to reach closure ) His hair just appears black in the last one because of the filter I put on the pictures. Aaaannnnd that's the big question. Wouldn't you like to know? All will be revealed in due time.
