Nice little build! The nose fits it well and it indeed looks very Octan. Looks blistering fast too.

The slant in the rock face is pretty nice. Also like the color choices.

Really cool looking build. The style, color choice, smooth rocks vs studded ground. Lots of things work well together in this one.

Agreed! Great fun to read too.

Congrats on your first rock rock! I haven't crossed that bridge yet. Looks good. The flex tubing works well for this, and the upper and lower levels of land, each with a tree, creates a bit of balance like a bansai so that is really fitting too.

Missions completed: Weekly: [K-B06] The Lifeblood of the Sea (Sorn) Challenge 1: The Leviathan of Dindrane's Solitude (Guinevere)

Location: B-06 Sorn Tags: Kawashita, Submarine, B06, Sorn The Lifeblood of the Sea == Start transmission == Commander Turtle: Aera Lure, what is your status? Aera Lure: I'm about ready to depart for Traig IV. My team is already en route. Commander Turtle: There is a new development. I would like to ask you to instead proceed to Sorn. I have just rescued Dr. Fabian Killjoy. His discovery there has our scientists excited. Please go talk to his colleague, Dr. Traize Anastasia. He will be directing the mission. Aera Lure: I'm on my way! == End transmission == Dr. Anastasia's Lab Aera Lure: Where o' where is the good doctor? I guess I'm early. Aera Lure: *sees comm panel Aera Lure: While I'm waiting, I suppose I could use this to contact my friend Blackhawk who finally finished his training on Orinshi and is performing a recon mission on Guinevere. Aera Lure: Scrambled. I'm going to have to readjust these settings. == Start transmission == Aera Lure: Blackhawk, are you there? * squawk **** screee **** pffzzzz Blackhawk: Yeah I'm here - unless this thing falls out of the sky! Aera Lure: Oh, you're having trouble? Sorry to hear that. Blackhawk: Damn straight I'm having trouble! The *bleeping* *bleep* doesn't *bleep* and if the *bleeping* thrusters *bleep* again I'm going to *bleep*! I swear it's almost as if someone was playing a practical joke on me. You wouldn't know anything about that, would you? Aera Lure: No, I don't. Who would do such a thing? Aera Lure: Hohohoho.. hah.. MUAH ahahaha!! Blackhawk: What was that? I didn't quite get that. Aera Lure: Oh, nothing. *ahem* Sorry, you're breaking up. Good luck on your mission! == End transmission == Dr. Anastasia: Sorry to have kept you waiting Ms. Lure. I'm Dr. Anastasia. Aera Lure: Nice to meet you doctor. No problem at all. I was just advising a colleague. Call me Aera. Dr. Anastasia: I'm sure you have heard that our esteemed colleague Dr. Fabian Killjoy was rescued on Sorn. He brings back with him valuable information about an undersea lifeform that metabolizes Awesomnium. We'd like to gather some more information about this creature and, if possible, return here with a specimen. I understand you are a pilot. Would you be up for this task? Aera Lure: Of course! Dr. Anastasia: I'll need you to bring a team of four of my research assistants to the location we've selected. I have entered the coordinates into your sub and I will observe the operation from here in the lab. I have connected this comm panel to the camera arm on your sub. Once we have identified the lifeform, my researchers will take it from there. I spent the afternoon scrambling the comm pad's network protocol to be sure Octan or Mantis will not intercept the transmissions. so no need to worry about that. Aera Lure: !!! Dr. Anastasia: Something wrong? Aera Lure: No, no. Not at all! I just realized that I have some preparations to do on the sub prior to the start of the mission. I had best be off and let you finish your preparation as well. Never hurts to doublecheck... Dr. Anastasia: She sure left in a hurry. I wonder what that was all about... Dr. Anastasia: !!! == Mission underway == == Start transmission == Dr. Anastasia: You should be coming up to the coral reef shortly. Aera Lure: Yes doctor. I can see it ahead. Slowing speed and engaging the floodlights. Deploying the arm. Aera Lure: I'm starting the video feed now. Are you getting this Doctor? Dr. Anastasia: Yes I am. The connection is good. Look for a golden cone-shaped creature. It's a kind of polyp that... Dr. Anastasia: Oh! That's it! The Decahydromapthylrematoratron! I am sending the information to my team. Please proceed with the extraction. Aera Lure: Roger that. == End transmission == Aera Lure: No action down here, but it sure is peaceful. Wonder how Blackhawk is faring? Just fine I'm sure. He's one pilot I could trust with anything - even a plane that barely flies.

Love the build! Lots of nice little details.

Great hangar and I really like the ship! The detail with the robot holding the coffee wrong was marvelous.

Nice rockwork indeed and a cool little angler fish.

Hahaha great idea!

Hahaha

Like the rocks and wake created by the spiny guy.

The lava looks great and I like it flowing off the side of your base.

The three-legged goats are adorable.

Really like the luscious vegetation and the alien thing, which, I think is some kind of huge insect? I get a mosquito vibe as Kai NRG said.

I really like the rock. And the snake is cool - you chose a really good part for it's tail, the way it curves like that and leaves the spiny part exposed - and I like it's head.

Love the immersive quality of it, being literally surrounded by the trees in all directions. The waterfall in the back coming through to the foreground also adds a lot. Well done!

Really loving the shape of that ship - and - it's more impressive knowing it's your first. Congrats!

Really nice looking dune. Very smooth and flowing, accentuated by the various prickly bits here and there. I like the rock formations as well.

Nice use of the spoiler tags. Great build and story to go with it. I'm especially fond of the picture at the end.

Fantastic direction to have gone in. Really like the rock work and the duck. Even better because: Hahaha omg. Must be the shoulder piece? But it's not just that. You're right. That duck is awesome!

Hermit rats! Love the idea! The style of the build also very much suits their display. Well done! (don't look down there, little rats - thar be worms!)

Great landscape and really well done on that battle! (trying not to be partisan ) I really like the drop ship too.

Love the tree technique... and the story! Nice to have a hard sci-fi take for contrast.
