Wow, fantastic fighter! It reminds me of Battlestar galactica Vipers. I like that the cocpit (kind of) slides forward instead of fliping up. And the angles of course. Tock me till the fifth picture to see it was stud shooters, nice. Raven want one if she's doing space combat. I might make a mikro version for her.

Nice ship. You are geting good with SNOT. Sinse its still a WIP I suggest puting an axel or axelpin trough the barels (maybe you need to add a round 2 x 2 plate under the barel). Then you could make some (transparent?) rod sticking out of the barel. Maybe dosen't look better but if you have time you could try it.

The vast majority of the Kawa/Mantis points come from A06. Drop that planet from consideration and all 3 corps are suddenly very similar in point totals. Everything discused yet have been efficency numbers rather then company strenght. The total amount of domination points each corperation have placed on the map would be a more interesting number.

But in the long run you would get the most planetary bonusses as you have the most planets

Now when almost all planets are taken we can build on the home planet just as any awesomnium planet, we don't need to make it more rewarding. But I was thinking something simular, what if say 100 domination gave another bonus. I know it helps Octan who have the most planets but it also rewards building at home rather then going to war for extra recorses (wich is a bit unrealistic)

(Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I'm on vecation) Thank you! No, I'm not familier with warhamer but I googled the craft and it's pretty simular. (but Aeralure made the bomber design) Thanks! I like your storys a lot too. The job of a special force agent allow for ignoring policys as long as the job gets done Your build actualy inspired my shower scene (but it's more for humor than fanservice) Thanks. Nice to know the story was appreciated. (was afraid it would be too long to read) I might do more mini versons of peoples builds in the future. No need for Kawashita to have a new craft for each story Wow! Than you! Realy nice coment (even thou you are missing an adjectiv there in the begining, but I take it's a good one )

Please transfer 100 credits to NuckElBurg. Thanks.

Thank you. I'm happy you liked the story (en some even read it again). I like writing storys but this is more like directing a movie. ”Casting” the minifigs for deferent roles, building sets and photografing sceans. It toke way more time then I had guessed. (Should have gone with the action version with Raven killing the guards in the com rome while the Commodore escapes throu a secret door) I'm going to try skipping weeks now and making smaler builds with short storys in the future (lets see how long it take before another mastodont arch shows up) Thanks. I personaly like the mikro bomber but then I prefere advanced technics over estetic. Thank you. (did you re read the guinevere story or the whole Dust Demon one?) Nice to know my storys are apreciated. The bomber was one of the first things I made as I had a mikro base to destroy. Liked the shape of the KB-66 when I first saw it. Is there a nudety policy I wasn't avare of I can censour the pictures if someone is offended And something for cyborg/robo lovers to

Location: A06 – Guinevere Tags: Spying, Military, Building, Spaceship / Airplane The story continue right after “Minor setback”. I reuse a lot from previous builds so I put a picture of the new stuff in the spoiler. Previously: Agent Raven has been sent to deal with the increasingly annoying Dust Demons. She infiltrate the organization and discover there is a traitor within Kawashita who supply the demons with information. She manage to slip this intel to agent Koro hoping he can find and stop the traitor. Now she's been invited to the Dust Demons main base on Guinevere to meet with there leader, the Commodore. But before she could report to Kawashita she was taken captive. Scorched earth So, what do you think. Is she a spy? My instincts say no. She didn't react to me using “honor” in such a casual way earlier. A kawashita agent would at least have flinched slightly. Nether did she become defensive when I said I could spot traitors. Through out the interrogation I felt she was honest. The lie detectors have made the same conclusion. Ok, bring her out. I apologize for the bad first impression but we had to make sure you wasn't a spy. What?! Are you saying this was a test? I... Yes. It's standard procedure for new officers. We need to be careful. Also, we've had multiple setbacks and suspicious data accesses recently. Our guy in Kawashita is convinced they sent someone to investigate us but then that's like saying MANTIS employees will carry weapons. You did all this just to test my loyalty! I want to punch you but my fist hurt to much. Well, that's the spirit we are locking for. You can take out on the Kawa-scum on Aeristus. You'll be leaving as soon as you gotten a shower and a new uniform. With all respect sir. I fell like I want to rest for a while. You can rest while you fly to Aeristus. Yes sir. Raven is evaluating the situation. So it was a test, I figured as mush. The first meeting, the questions. And why else bring me here, to there main base. Had they known I was a spy I'd be dead on Marphacia. Now then? I have no time to determine the base's exact location. I might at least get a radio with my new gear but no way of reaching Koro. He may not have found the traitor yet. Can't help that, I won't be back here for a while. During the shower she think through various strategies for multiple scenarios. When she's done she get new clothes and the captain is waiting to walk her to the hangar. No chanse of slipping away. Why didn't I get an armor and gun? Don't you trust me? I passed your test. You will get a captains armor like mine when we get to Aeristus. It's lighter than standard armor and believe me, you don't want any armor on for a few days after what you been through. Seriously, I'm surprised you held out as good as you did. I cried like a baby and could hardly walk after. It wasn't that bad really. I mean, he looked scary but didn't have mush skills. I've had far worse in school. What!? What school was that? Special agent training. I'm the spy you are looking for. While the captain look like a big question mark Raven take his gun and jam it in his face. Raven make sure he's unconscious an then go to the cockpit door. Help! He just fell down, I think he have an alien disease, he's face is all red! The pilot comes out to help. To not risk setting of alarms by shooting or killing she knock down the pilot with the gun. Raven go to the cockpit. Yes! It have a position system. Sector Q5 coordinates 23 18 - 42 65, that's MANTIS territory but close enough for a stealthy raid. She set the radio to emergency kawashita frequency as the drop ship travel to the landing pad. After giving the location to HQ I can just fly towards Aeristus and the Demons wont suspect a thing. Just have to avoid using words they might be scanning for. Humm. No manual input of ID codes. Well KG is a “spy company”. There personnel should understand basic codes or at least forward message to someone that does. This is your local weather report and do we have sensational news. It's raining on Guinevere. I say it again, it's raining on Guinever, sector Q5 coo... This is AD-38. Identify yourself. I'm a weather reporter, please call home and tell them... A what? This is a... Shut up! ...Kawashita channel. How did... Quick! Call HQ! Dust Demon main base in sector Q5, 23 18 - 42 65. Confirm! Hello? D** it. No signal. They are jamming communications. Huu, spy company my megablocks, she thinks angrily. They probably didn't get the full coordinates. I'll have to light the way for them. She stop the drop ship, puts on the captains armor and run back to the hangar. No one here yet. How clumsy of them to store awesomnium next to fuel tanks. What if someone dropped a grenade. Lets see 60 seconds should be enough. Ooooppps, I droped it. Better get out. This explosion got to be visible from the entire sector. She runs to the Commodores large door hoping he's still there. 10 seconds left. Wait a little. Now. Kawashita is attacking! What? We heard an alarm of unauthorized transmission but... Raven count down in her head 3.. 2.. They are jamming all... BHOOOM!! That was the hangar! You two check out. I will make sure the Commodore is safe. BANG! What was... BANG! Raven enter the com room but no Commodore. She try to access the data in the com desk. Locked. I better call and see if HQ got my message. Oh, cancel jamming. This is agent Raven ID 137955. Did you get the coordinates for the base? This is KD-11. We only received a sector and sent a large search party. I just saw a large explosion and a smoke pillar. Heading there now. You've been searching the entire sector?! MANTIS will attack... We will destroy the base before MANTIS can gets here. No! We need a ground team and some technicians. The data here could... I have my orders, the base is about to be rubble. But I'm in here looking for there leader. Give me a few minutes and... No can do. MANTIS fighters are on the way. If you don't get out, know that you died with honor. Ohh, that's a relief, she thought sarcastically as she started to rip out a few hard drives from the communication desk. I can get away with the Wasp on the landing pad. Maybe even pursue the commodore. When she get out she see a distinct silhouette in the sky. Crap! That's a KB-66 heavy assault bomber. And posibly another one in the distance. They really want this base destroyed. Lets hope the comander armor's jet pack is as good as the standard one. The end (for a while) Raven and Koro will continue the fight against the Dust Demons and search for the Commodore but for now I'm on vacation and the time I have will go to the challenge. Maybe Raven go to the KGMA for some training but she's more likely to scout or sabotage off screen. Also, the “megablocks” wasn't an auto correct. I think it's a good curse and I deliberately wrote it like that. Lastly, I have to try write less story in the future. It's fun but take a lot of time.

Nice SNOT and a 45 deg angle too, thats advansed for a first try.

Well, tecnicaly it's "Sarah" under pressure but you'll see in part two.

I watched the clip and the whole scene made a lot more sense. Otherwise we can just blame Belters charming personality for the litle infight I wonder if a future team up with Raven would be as vilent? Right, they already fought once Maybe Koro have people issues, the machanic was a bit angry too, or maybe he just like fighting.

Location: A06 – Guinevere Tags: Spying, Military, Building The story continue right after “Dust Demon base” so the first room is the same and should not be judged. Previously: Agent Raven has been sent to deal with the increasingly annoying Dust Demons. She infiltrate the organization and discover there is a traitor within Kawashita who supply the demons with information. She manage to slip this intel to agent Koro hoping he can find and stop the traitor. Now she's been invited to the Dust Demons main base on Guinevere to meet with there leader, the Commodore. All she need to do then is to call a Kawashita base on Guinevere and it will be the end of the Dust Demons. Minor setback It's an honor to meet you. The honor is mine, they say you are a military genius. Raven notice a slight disappointment in the Comodores face but makes no hint that she noticed. Well that's an overstatement but I have a few talents. One of them is to notice a traitor when I see one. Oh, that's a useful talent. More disappointment from the Comodore who make a signal to the guards. Wish I could spot... Hey! Let go! What are you doing! We know who you are. What? Take her to the interrogation room Wait! There must have been a mistake! Really, who do you think I am? I'm on your side! Shut up and get in. What is your name? I told you, I'm Sarah Connor. Lies! What's your real name!? You have my file, my name is Sarah Jeanette Connor! Your ID was faked! You are a Kawashita spy. What!? No! Why Did you come here? You called me her. I was... Why did you join the Demons?! I was bored. There is no action in the Milkyway. This was the coolest... Lies! Send in our “interrogation officer”. We got a stubborn one. Loosen her up a bit. I'll be back in an hour. No! It's been a mistake! I'm not a spy! Don't leave me here! Aww! Noo! AAAAA *door closes* AAA! NO!! I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! AAAHH... After a while, the Commodore comes back. Not even 15 minutes, Raven thinks. Maybe an inexperienced person would have mistaken it for an hour or he's just inpatient. So, are you ready to talk? I have talked from... What's your name!!? It's Sarah! Give me another name or get another hour with him! Ok ok, I'm Sarah... er Kerrigan? You brought this on yourself. Whait! I... I am a Kawashita spy. Good. So, what are they planing to do to us? I don't know. Kill you? I'll be back in an hour. No, wait! I can be an Mantis soldier... Or an Octan lowyer... Anything! No! Stop! AAAAA *door closes* To be continued tomorrow (or maybe the day after). here is the next part I decided to split this up because the story got a bit long and I ran out of time. I don't expect mush points for this "half" build. I would also like to note that my story is somewhat “realistic”. Had it been an action movie Raven would have killed all three guards, arrested the Commodore and used his communication desk to call for backup, securing the entire base. Done. But in my world you can't defeat three guards and an armed leader (in that case they would have brought more guards). She have won some simular battles previously but then she had the element of surprise and weapons. The entire build (I just notised the layout resemble an Octan prison but with an interigation room instead of a londry room)

Defiantly better with the snow. Also, I vote to put Sal in charge of all MANTIS operations, can't fail

Thank you! (I don't respond individual to positiv comment as it get unnecessarily long, hope you don't mind) It was luck. The wasp got very bulky so it worked well as a mikro. I would have extended the floor too but I ran out of tan after building the mikro (after photographing and editing I realized I had Jaba's palace in my sort pile but was to lazy to redo it then) Good point, I will remember that in the future (and possibly change this one but dont have time now) Well, the Terminator series is 1800 years old by now so I don't think a lot of people remember them I thought the studs gave some texture to the sand, good to get another perspective. The big tan pieces are from a race track thing but I got them cheap on BL, thought they would get great walls.

Location: A06 – Guinevere Tags: Spying, Military, Building Dust Demon base Raven have been promoted to squad leader and made another successful raid on Kawashita. She is now being flown to the Demons main base to meet with there leader, the Commodore. (the space ship is a mikro version of the Wasp) As she steps out of the dropship she can confirm they are on Guinever. She think to herself. A06, that's fantastic, I don't even need subspace communication. And because of the MANTIS present the Kawashita force here is even more armed and alert. When Koro have found and stopped the insider all I need to do is get a radio and alert the local Kawashita troops. The Captain escort her through the base. Raven take the opportunity to ask: So, who is this Commodore? He's a war veteran, a military genius. Tried working for MANTIS for a while when there was no war but he thought they ware too soft and company-ish. He started the Dust Demons about a decade ago and now we are feared space pirates in another galaxy. They reach a large door guarded by elite Demons. I'm here with the new squad leader. She is to meet with the Commodore. The guards let her in, the captain stays at the door. So, you are talented new recruit I've been hearing about. I'm called the Commodore. Sarah Connor. Raven shake his hand. Meta: Obviously “Sarah Connor” is an alias, not Ravens real name. As it was discussed recently I want to say I have no problem with critique. Say what you want (or nothing at all) I won't take offense.

Thank you everyone, and the judges of the score. It seems adding fighting scenes give some extra points (or scoring have been adjusted since the first weeks) I made those trees because I had a lot of bushes but didn't want to cover the ground I already made. The supply transport was actually pretty quick to do. I started with the engines than the red. The front got a little 50s look so I built the gray with that in mind (a little retro future) and built my way back via the underside. It wasn't very hard but I have made a few things during my 10 years as an AFOL, it's just not on Eurobricks.

Thank you, and the rest of you who liked the build. I wasn't even planing on doing story or that many builds here but AG have sucked me in. I might take a break when the Dust Demons have been dealt with as I have a Swedish lego sci-fi story going too. Raven is in that as well but about 20 years older, 1200 years earlier and a galaxy closer. I'm going to translate them and post on MOCpages when I get time.

Yes, he probably would. Especially as Raven is specialized in stealth (infiltration, espionage, sabotage) while Koro's specialty seems to be close range fighting. Edit: Aw Megablock! Had I posted a minute earlier the pro Raven comment would have been the last. Thanks for defending her but here she dosen't even have her standard gear. She does have a jetpack thou but that didn't help Boba that much.

I think someone (Ava) need to upgrade her translation chip. Or maybe she's not using one, that's admirable (but it can get a little awkward ). Really fun story. (Those Kawashita sales agents must be robo-dolls, no minifig could look like that )

She also raid and fight Kawashita. She is under cover as a Dust Demon. She called Koro to Marphacia so she could give him the data chip. She need to make it look like a fight so the other Demons don't suspect anything. And who woulden't want to fight Koro (maybe not so many)

Location: B05 – Marphacia Tags: Piracy, Spying, Land/Water vehicle Raiding supplies Raven have completed her Dust Demon training and even had time to access some restricted data before her first mission. With others credentials (it's amazing how guys don't mind a charming girl hanging over there shoulder as they log in) she then access coming Demon strikes to various Kawashita targets. Raven notice several disturbing things, first there is no record of Octan or MANTIS being attacked. Second ,which might explain the first, the level of intel they have about Kawashita operations and movement indicate they have an inside source. If she send the data she found the normal way (hidden in a media file posted on a social network) anyone knowing what to look for could find it meaning it's very likely the traitor would find out we where after him. Raven decides to give the data to someone she can trust and download everything, including her own observations, to a data chip. If someone where to cross reference the Demon's data and employees at Kawashita it should be able to find who had access to these specific operations. Especially as Kawashita often have canary traps in there documents. Raven might not agree to all the honor stuff but she love there intelligence and espionage like approach to running there company. She leave a comment with a hidden message to meet at B05 on motorcycle forum called “Angel customs”.It's a cover site used by Kawashitas “internal affairs agent” Now it was time for here first mission with the Demons. An easy raid on a supply transport on Marphacia. D***, they are having extra guards. I call for an extra drop ship. No need, I can take them. Just wait 30 seconds and then start shooting at them. No, they have hard plate armor, we can't hurt them with these weapons. Sure we can, remember, 30 seconds. Then she runs away. The captain and Trevor wait half a minute and start shooting. This is stupid, lets retreat. They wont follow us, they have to guard the supplies. Wooow!! That was fantastic! You just... and then... Raven and the captain don't listen as they round up the soldiers. Are we going to kill them? No! We wont execute people, Kawashita is mad enough from the raiding. A short time later. What are we waiting for? I can't get this stupid loading droid to work without the access codes. Try, talking to it, offer it a better job. It worked for MANTIS. That was Octan drones. You don't just hack Kawashita stuff (unless they are test drones) Then we can at least use it for target practice. Booom! What the h** did you do that for? But it's useless without the access codes. Sarah is getting them now! And the codes to this hover platform! Oops Some time later “Sarah” gets the codes and they can get away. (I attempted to do speed blur without the proper tool) Extra guards and active security codes. Those Kawashitas are really angry with us now. They start unloading the supplies manually as they “lost” the loading droid. Look out! It's that robot guy! What? The one who killed a lot of us, blew up the Direstan base and destroyed the walker droid? Run for your life. Hopefully he can't run in three directions simultaneously. Get aboard the Wasp and take off, I'll delay him. Koro seemingly blocks the shots with his sword (or Raven misses on purpose, hard to tell) As the gun breaks Raven roll and twist the sword from Koro's hand. Koro put away his gun and pull the second sword. Raven only have basic swords training and Koro is faster and stronger thanks to his cybernetic body. Raven soon falls. She roll away and leave the data chip. (You know if you read the initial text) Koro pics up the chip as Raven “escape”

Wait, what? Are we supposed to put the mission specific "tags" (words) in the text of the post? (with the words “tag:” first) I thought we called them tags because we should use the forums built in tag system.
