Darn. I knew it was on E11 previously, but thought it moved in time. I'll wait for word from Bob and then change the planet if I have to.

23 to Bob.

Location: G10 - Onix Tags: Civil, Building, Vehicle, Spaceship CLAPPIE: Sir, the odds of successfully navigating this asteroid field are approximately 2 in 3. JEB: Never tell me the odds! CLAPPIE: Updating algorithm... the odds are approximately 2 in 5. JEB: What did I just sa- *BAAAANNNNG* *CRAAAASSHHHHH* JEB: What was that?! CLAPPIE: It would appear that you did not heed my warnings and we have been struck by one (1) rogue asteroid. Systems critical, operating at 56%. We can't take another hit like that. JEB: Get us out of the belt. CLAPPIE: Attempting a GATE jump in this state is likely to rip the ship in two. JEB: Well... don't do that then. Just get us out of here, I'm flying blind. CLAPPIE: I am putting you into hypersleep to conserve oxygen and setting an autopilot to the nearest Octan settlement in the adjacent system. Be warned, clinical trials under Dr. Black reported some cases of negat- JEB: Just put me under. CLAPPIE: Very well. 3... 2... 1... An abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Aketi Outpost, AD 3800 GOON: Is he coming? LEADER: It would be most unwise for him to not show up. MASKED ASSAILANT: Forgive me master, for I am late. There was an... unexpected development. LEADER: Is he dead? Is President Business dead? MASKED ASSAILANT: (flinches as he remembers his lie) Yes, of course. He will not bother us any longer. LEADER: You have done well, very well indeed. With President Business and Mrs. Long deceased, the Senate will have no choice but to block the Octan-Explorien merger, pending an investigation. MASKED ASSAILANT: Sir... these deaths... surely there could have been another way? Won't we be caught? President Business is a lot higher-profile than some of our previous targ- LEADER: (flares in anger) Do you dare question me? They have defied our warnings and defied our galaxy and have paid the ultimate price for their transgression, as they should! The Serpent's Head takes no prisoners. We operate when the law will not... and sometimes we just have to give it a little push. We leave no tracks- and besides, the "evidence" has been arranged to point towards the startup MANTIS firm. They already have a nasty reputation- and we're not the only ones who don't want the Octan-Explorien deal to become final. MASKED ASSAILANT: Of course. Forgive me. By now I should know better than to question. LEADER: I have raised you from birth to serve the Head and never once have had cause to question your loyalty. Don't break that streak now. Cease to question and your future is bright. Consider yourself forgiven. MASKED ASSAILANT: Thank you, master. What does the Head command next? LEADER: For now... we wait. If the merger passes, we may need to create a few vacant seats by next election cycle. We wish for the Andromeda galaxy to remain untainted- never forget that. MASKED ASSAILANT: Your wish is my command. I must now depart. LEADER: I concur. Before you go, bow to your father. Bow to the Head. Bow to me... Jebediah. Extra shots of the ship in spoiler... I forgot to take some of the warehouse. Comments, criticisms, and speculations on the story are all welcome! DLL is probably more qualified to handle most questions than I am, as I just stole his ideas and intertwined Jeb's past into it.

Was this also a double week or are scores just really behind...?

Wow, those are nice! Doubly hoping my name shows up on that calendar now...

70 credits to Bob.

It's back! It's a shame my casino from last year didn't get more votes. Maybe I'll have to build another one!

Helicarrier is on sale @ Amazon for $300, down from $350. Sale ends in four hours.

Hmm... I like it. Deliciously evil. CopMike, take notes!

Location: F04 - Illustria Tags: Vehicle, Spying Jebediah tests out a new spying drone on the rocky planet of Illustria. Bit of a throwaway build this week as I ran out of time, but the drone turned out nice. A bigger, better entry into Jebediah's murky past hopefully coming next week! C&C welcome!

Pease transfer all my money to Bob.

What a twist! The roles have been reversed! I love it! The drill attachment is great, as is the rock work.

Three more staff? Ok...

Nice control center!

Nice review! It's always good to see more pictorial reviews in the licensed forum, as they seem to be getting rarer and rarer. Your pictures are much cleaner than mine and I can't even come close to competing with your parts knowledge. Great job!

Jack and Jill went up the hill... except my name's not Jill. I feel that would place an unnecessary burden on us taxpayers of EB, when it's such a long shot to reverse the results of the (s)election.

Of course two staff members win on the first day. Classic.

That's a pretty good deal, especially considering its brand new! I'm curious, did your guys sets have the same molding issue with the guards hand or is my copy an isolated incident?

Was the bakahomepage site ever updated with the Challenge 5 entries? I want my credits and sweet little colored square!

It's a huge flying EXPLODING manatee! I will rain destruction down upon my enemies from the back of my huge flying exploding manatee! Yee-haw!

Sweet! Can't wait to win a huge manatee. Always wanted one of those.

Thank you! I actually took them in good light and darkened them in an app called Aviary. I think it's the same as Flickr's built-in editor. The original pictures are available in the spoiler. As for the story... you know at least the death of President Business didn't happen, because he's still hanging around the introduction thread!

Mission Impossible might be my new favorite level pack. Also, Ethan Hunt looks even better with the legs and backpack from the S16 spy.

Location: G10 - Onix Tags: Building, Civil Onboard the OCS Axle in orbit around Onix, within Jebediah's quarters... Our favorite special agent sleeps soundly... or does he? "Oh my god... what are you doing..." *SCREEEEEECHHHHHH* "Stop... STOP... I'll give you anything... ANYTHING...." "The Head takes no prisoners." *BANG* "AAAHHHHHH... oh my god... it was just a dream... you're okay... it was just a dream." C&C welcome.

I looked.
